Risk Factors
The following should be read in conjunction with, and supplements and amends, the factors that may affect MetLife, Inc.’s business or operations described under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, of MetLife, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "2019 Annual Report").
 
The Course of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, and Responses to it, Are Uncertain and Difficult to Predict, but Have Adversely Affected and May Continue to Adversely Affect Our Business, Results of Operations, and Financial Condition.
Major public health issues, including the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic (the "COVID-19 Pandemic"), have caused and may continue to cause a large number of illnesses and deaths. Various government bodies in any number of jurisdictions, their representatives, regulators, executive branch officials, legislators, courts, employee representatives, arbitrators, mediators and other persons exercising governmental, political, or related authority or influence (collectively, "Authorities") and other organizations may not effectively respond to the spread and severity of the COVID-19 Pandemic, and their actions and the resulting impacts are unpredictable. The ultimate spread, duration, and severity of the COVID-19 Pandemic, and of Authorities' actions to address it, are uncertain, and may persist. Adverse conditions may worsen over time. Actions to respond to the COVID-19 Pandemic have reduced and altered economic activity and financial markets. New information about the severity and duration of the COVID-19 Pandemic or other public health issues, and Authorities’, businesses’, and societal reactions to that information, may increase the severity or duration of the COVID-19 Pandemic and its effects.
The COVID-19 Pandemic, and its effect on financial markets, have adversely affected our investment portfolio (and, specifically, increased the risk of defaults, downgrades and volatility in the value of the investments we hold, and lowered variable investment income and returns) and may continue to do so. Market volatility may slow or prevent us from reacting to market events as effectively as we otherwise could. When we sell our investment holdings, we may not receive the prices we seek, and may sell at a price lower than our carrying value, due to reduced liquidity during periods of market volatility or disruption, or other reasons. This may affect privately-placed fixed income securities, certain derivative instruments, mortgage or other loans, direct financing and leveraged leases, other limited partnership interests, tax credit and renewable energy partnerships and real estate equity, including real estate joint ventures and funds. Borrowers may delay or fail to pay principal and interest when due, and Authorities may delay or place a moratorium on foreclosures or otherwise impair enforcement actions, affecting the value of our mortgage investments, mortgage-backed securities, and other investments, and the cash flows they produce. Market volatility has also significantly increased credit spreads and may continue to do so, which may increase our borrowing costs and decrease product fee income.
Low, zero or negative interest rates, yields, returns, reduced liquidity and a continued slowdown in U.S. or global economic conditions, and COVID-19 Pandemic-related actions, have adversely affected the values and cash flows of assets in our investment portfolio and may continue to do so, especially if prolonged. Such conditions, whether due to the COVID-19 Pandemic or efforts to counter it or its impact, may make any of the effects we have described for low interest rates, yields, and returns more severe. Conversely, Authorities' actions, including activity by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks, in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic could cause inflation to be higher than we expected, which could require us to strengthen certain reserves.





We have built, and may continue to build, our cash and other liquid assets beyond the range we anticipated before the COVID-19 Pandemic. As a result, we may have less capital to devote to other uses, such as innovation, acquisitions, development, return of capital to shareholders, or other uses. In addition, Authorities may limit the dividends that our operating companies may distribute to holding companies, limiting the capital available for a variety of purposes at the holding companies.
Market dislocations, decreases in observable market activity, or unavailability of information, may restrict our access to key inputs used to derive certain estimates and assumptions made in connection with financial reporting or otherwise. As a result, the variability of our financial statement balances, estimates and assumptions we use to run our business may increase, and their reliability decrease.
The COVID-19 Pandemic has increased, and may continue to increase, claims under many of our policies (for example, life, disability, long-term care, and supplemental health products) and our resulting costs. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, the impact on claims in each quarter may be far greater than in prior quarters. In addition, an increased number of policyholders and contractholders may have less income or assets, and so may have difficulty paying premiums and fees. Authorities may require (or suggest) “no lapse” in policy coverage for uncertain or prolonged periods of time, regardless of whether we receive premiums or are able to assess fees against policyholder account balances. Legal and regulatory responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic and related public health issues may also include the extension of insurance coverage beyond our policy or contract language, and/or changes to insurance policy conditions such as premium grace periods, suspension of cancellations, and extensions of proof of loss deadlines. Authorities may also purport to change policy coverage, including retroactively, exposing us to risks and costs we were unable to foresee or underwrite. We may also voluntarily (or in response to requirements, guidance, or pressure) adopt customer accommodations, such as waiving exclusions, forgoing rate increases or implementing lower rate increases than we would otherwise, relaxation of claim documentation requirements, premium credit, or accommodations for customers experiencing economic or other distress as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our New York regulator's annual letters on Special Considerations that affect year-end asset adequacy testing may impose unforeseen assumptions or requirements that require us to increase or release reserves, which could affect our statutory capital and surplus.
Our cost of reinsurance for policies could increase, and we may find reinsurance unavailable. Reinsurers may dispute, or seek to reduce or eliminate, coverage on policies as a result of any changes to policies or practices we make as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Policyholders may change their behavior in unexpected ways. For example, policyholders and contractholders seeking sources of liquidity due to COVID-19 Pandemic-related economic uncertainty and increased unemployment may withdraw or surrender at greater rates than we expected. They may also change their premium payment practices, exercise product options, or take other actions as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Authorities' efforts to respond to it.
We have incurred, and may continue to incur, increased administrative expenses as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Authorities' efforts to respond to it. These conditions may affect our employees, agents, brokers and distribution partners, as well as the workforces of our vendors, service providers and counterparties. We may have difficulties conducting our business, including in selling our products, such as those traditionally sold in person. We may find it difficult or impossible to obtain required or appropriate signatures from our representatives, customers, or others for a variety of purposes, including property title-related or other filings with Authorities, increasing the uncertainties and risks from various transactions, such as product sales, regulatory matters, or real estate-related transactions. We may face increased workplace safety costs and risks, lose access to critical employees, and face increased employment-related claims and employee-relations challenges, each of which may increase when our employees begin to return to our workplaces. Any of the third parties to whom we outsource certain critical business activities may fail to perform as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic or claim that it cannot perform due to a force majeure.
Our risk management, contingency, and business continuity plans may not adequately protect our operations. Extended periods of remote work arrangements and other unusual business conditions and circumstances as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, increase our cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. The frequency and sophistication of attempts at unauthorized access to our technology systems and fraud may increase, and COVID-19 Pandemic conditions may impair our cybersecurity efforts and risk management. Our efforts to prevent money-laundering or other fraud, whether due to limited abilities to "know our customers," strains on our programs to avoid and deter foreign corrupt practices, or otherwise, may increase our compliance costs and risk of violations.
The COVID-19 Pandemic could affect our internal controls over financial reporting. We have developed, and may continue to develop, new and less-seasoned processes, procedures, and controls to respond to changes in our business environment. If any employees who are key to our controls become ill from the COVID-19 Pandemic and are unable to work, this may affect our ability to operate our internal controls.
Authorities may delay, or consider delaying, implementing legal or regulatory changes, increasing uncertainty and creating the potential for later, rapid changes. Authorities may also not be able to act on other policy or regulatory priorities as a result of





the COVID-19 Pandemic. The United Kingdom and the European Union may extend their trade negotiations. This could prolong the United Kingdom’s post-exit transition period beyond 2020, thereby extending its prior relationship with the European Union.
Our efforts to return excess capital to our shareholders may be challenged. For example, Authorities, investors, or media may exert pressure on us not to repurchase shares of our common stock or other securities, or prohibit us from doing so. Our use of other means to return excess capital to shareholders may be less tax-efficient than repurchases.
Any uncertainty as a result of any of these events, including but not limited to investment portfolio impact, mortality or morbidity rate changes, an increase in expenses, or policyholder behavior changes, may require us to change our estimates, assumptions, models or reserves. Authorities may not accurately report population and impact data, such as death rates, infections, morbidity, hospitalizations, or illness that we use in our estimates, assumptions, models or reserves.
Any of the direct or indirect effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic may cause litigation or regulatory, investor, media, or public inquiries. Our costs to manage and effectively respond to these matters, and to address them in settlement or other ways, may increase.
Any of the events described above have adversely affected, may continue to adversely affect, or may yet adversely affect the global economy, global financial markets, our business, our results of operations, or our financial condition. These events could also cause, contribute to, or exacerbate the risks and uncertainties we described in our 2019 Annual Report.

Consolidated Company Outlook
The following information should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Executive Summary - Consolidated Company Outlook” included in the 2019 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our consolidated company outlook from that previously discussed in the 2019 Annual Report except as noted below.
We are closely monitoring developments relating to the COVID-19 Pandemic and assessing its impact on our business. The COVID-19 Pandemic has had a major impact on the global economy and financial markets. Governments and businesses have taken numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, social distancing, shelter in place or total lock down orders, and business limitations and shutdowns. These measures have disrupted and will continue to disrupt business activity and have resulted in economic slowdown and significant volatility in the financial markets, to which central banks around the world are responding with unprecedented fiscal and monetary policies. The COVID-19 Pandemic and these actions have significantly increased economic uncertainty and reduced economic activity. In addition, a prolonged low, zero, or negative interest rate environment remains possible. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Industry Trends - Impact of a Sustained Low Interest Rate Environment” included in the 2019 Annual Report for discussion of the mitigating actions the Company has taken to reduce interest rate sensitivity as market interest rates are a key driver of our results.
We have implemented risk management and business continuity plans and taken preventive measures and other precautions, such as employee business travel restrictions and remote work arrangements which, to date, have enabled us to maintain our critical business processes, customer service levels, relationships with key vendors, financial reporting systems, internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.
Events related to the COVID-19 Pandemic could materially adversely affect our business operations, investment portfolio, financial results or financial condition. We will continue reviewing accounting estimates, asset valuations and various financial scenarios for capital and liquidity; however, in light of evolving health, economic, social, regulatory, and other factors, the potential impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and actions taken in response to it on our business operations, investment portfolio, financial results and financial condition remains uncertain.
During the first quarter of 2020, MetLife, Inc. proactively raised $2.0 billion from the capital markets ($1.0 billion of preferred stock and $1.0 billion of senior debt), providing us with additional capital flexibility in dealing with cash flow volatility related to the current environment, as well as demonstrating our ongoing access to capital markets. As of March 31, 2020, we had $5.3 billion of cash and liquid assets at the holding companies.
Our capital stress testing and longstanding commitment to liquidity, position us to withstand the current crisis. We do not expect any material liquidity deficiencies, and we expect to remain able to comply with the financial covenants of our credit agreements.





As noted in our 2019 Annual Report, we expected (i) the average annual ratio of free cash flow to adjusted earnings over the two-year period of 2020 and 2021 to be 65% to 75%, assuming interest rates follow the observable forward yield curves, as of December 31, 2019, including a 10-year U.S. Treasury rate between 1.5% and 4.5%, and (ii) to generate approximately $20.0 billion of free cash flow over the next five years. However, with recent macroeconomic changes and significant equity market volatility, our ability to meet these targets could be challenged. Assuming (i) interest rates follow the observable forward yield curves as of March 31, 2020, including a 10-year U.S. Treasury rate of 0.67% at March 31, 2020, 0.82% at December 31, 2020 and 0.96% at December 31, 2021, (ii) a 20% S&P 500 equity index decline for the full year 2020, and (iii) a 5% S&P 500 equity index increase for the full year 2021, we expect the average annual ratio of free cash flow to adjusted earnings over the two-year period of 2019 and 2020 to be 65% to 75%. Over the two-year period of 2020 and 2021, our average annual ratio of free cash flow to adjusted earnings could be 40% to 60% reflecting the impact of regulatory cash flow testing on our New York domiciled insurance entity, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and the related impact of COVID-19 on investment credit losses.
We continue to target an adjusted return on equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) other than foreign currency translation adjustments (“FCTA”) of 12% to 14% over the near-term under non-recessionary market conditions. However, with recent macroeconomic changes and significant equity market volatility, and assuming (i) interest rates follow the observable forward yield curves as of March 31, 2020, including our updated ranges for the 10-year U.S. Treasury rates noted above, (ii) a 20% S&P 500 equity index decline for the full year 2020, and (iii) our expectation of high single digit to low double digit negative private equity returns in the second quarter of 2020 decreasing our variable investment income, we would expect to be below the low end of this range in 2020. This target range of 12% to 14% also included the completion of restructuring charges related to our unit cost improvement program which, as we noted in our 2019 Annual Report, is expected to result in an approximately $900 million of pre-tax expense margin expansion in 2020, or approximately a 12.3% direct expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses and pension risk transfers, in 2020. We remain committed to achieving this direct expense ratio in 2020 while creating additional capacity to fund over $1.0 billion in incremental technology and innovative investments to accelerate our growth over the next five years or to manage expense margins in more challenging environments.
Furthermore, we remain fully committed to our Next Horizon Strategy, which was introduced at our December 2019 Investor Day.
Our outlook relies on the accuracy of our assumptions about future economic and business conditions, which can be affected by known and unknown risks and other uncertainties, such as those posed by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Due to the evolving and highly uncertain nature of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we are continually reviewing our assumptions, implementing plans, and taking precautions. As we obtain more information regarding the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the effect and efficacy of efforts taken to respond to it, and the impact of these events on our business operations, investment portfolio, financial results and financial condition, we may revise our outlook. Additional guidance from the U.S. Treasury, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the Financial Accounting Standards Board may also require us to revise our outlook in future periods.
Forward-Looking Statements and Other Financial Information
The forward-looking statements in this Item 8.01 of MetLife’s Current Report on Form 8-K such as “will,” “continue,” “remain,” “could,” “expect,” “target” and “would” are based on assumptions and expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, including the “Risk Factors” MetLife, Inc. describes in this Item 8.01 and in its other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings. MetLife’s future results could differ, and it has no obligation to correct or update any of these statements.
We refer to observable forward yield curves as of a particular date in connection with making our estimates for future results. The observable forward yield curves at a given time are based on implied future interest rates along a range of interest rate durations. This includes the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate which we use as a benchmark rate to describe longer-term interest rates used in our estimates for future results.

Strong Financial Position
$5.3 billion of cash and liquid assets held at the holding company level at March 31, 2020, which is above our target cash buffer of $3.0-4.0 billion.
MetLife’s combined U.S. NAIC risk-based capital ratio (RBC) at December 31, 2019, excluding American Life Insurance Company, was 395 percent, which is above our 360 percent target; MetLife Japan solvency margin ratio was 931 percent at December 31, 2019. As these are year-end 2019 calculations, they do not reflect conditions and factors occurring after the year end.
MetLife’s next debt maturity is December 2022, when $500 million of senior notes will mature.
Returned over $900 million of capital in the first quarter 2020 through payment of common stock dividend and share repurchases.

“Our commitment to being a purpose-driven company is even more important in the face of this pandemic. For our employees, we’ve introduced a variety of programs to protect their well-being. For our customers, we’re showing flexibility and compassion to help them navigate this challenge. And for our communities, we’re providing significantly increased support,” said MetLife President and CEO Michel Khalaf.
“In the first quarter, MetLife delivered solid results that affirm our underlying financial strength. We entered this period of uncertainty with a business that is less capital intensive, an investment portfolio that is well positioned for a downturn, and a commitment to expense discipline that is stronger than ever. By continuing to execute on our Next Horizon strategy, we're confident we will position MetLife for long-term success.”

MetLife reported first quarter 2020 premiums, fees and other revenues of $11.3 billion, up 1 percent over the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues were $11.2 billion, essentially flat from the prior-year period, and up 1 percent on a constant currency basis.

Page 2 of 28





Net investment income was $3.1 billion, down 38 percent from the first quarter of 2019. The decline in net investment income was driven by unfavorable changes in the estimated fair value of certain securities which do not qualify as separate accounts under GAAP. On an adjusted basis, net investment income was $4.3 billion, up 1 percent from the prior-year period.
Net derivative gains amounted to $4.2 billion, or $3.3 billion after tax during the quarter, driven by lower interest rates.
Net income was $4.4 billion, compared to net income of $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2019. On a per share basis, net income was $4.75, compared to net income of $1.40 in the prior-year period.

These measures are used by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Consistent with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, adjusted earnings and components of, or other financial measures based on, adjusted earnings are also MetLife’s GAAP measures of segment performance. Adjusted earnings and other financial measures based on adjusted earnings are also the measures by which MetLife senior management’s and many other employees’ performance is evaluated for the purposes of determining their compensation under applicable compensation plans. Adjusted earnings and other financial measures based on adjusted earnings allow analysis of MetLife's performance relative to its Business Plan and facilitate comparisons to industry results.
Adjusted earnings is defined as adjusted revenues less adjusted expenses, net of income tax. Adjusted loss is defined as negative adjusted earnings. Adjusted earnings available to common shareholders is defined as adjusted earnings less preferred stock dividends.
Adjusted revenues and adjusted expenses
These financial measures, along with the related adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, focus on our primary businesses principally by excluding the impact of market volatility, which could distort trends, and revenues and costs related to non-core products and certain entities required to be consolidated under GAAP. Also, these measures exclude results of discontinued operations under GAAP and other businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife but do not meet the discontinued operations criteria under GAAP and are referred to as divested businesses. Divested businesses also include the net impact of transactions with exited businesses that have been eliminated in consolidation under GAAP and costs relating to businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife that do not meet the criteria to be included in results of discontinued operations under GAAP.

Adjusted revenues also excludes net investment gains (losses) (NIGL) and net derivative gains (losses) (NDGL). Adjusted expenses also excludes goodwill impairments.
The following additional adjustments are made to revenues, in the line items indicated, in calculating adjusted revenues:
Universal life and investment-type product policy fees excludes the amortization of unearned revenue related to NIGL and NDGL (Unearned revenue adjustments) and certain variable annuity guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB) fees (GMIB fees);
Net investment income: (i) includes adjustments for earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of investments or that are used to replicate certain investments but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment (Investment hedge adjustments), (ii) excludes post-tax adjusted earnings adjustments relating to insurance joint ventures accounted for under the equity method (Operating joint venture adjustments), (iii) excludes certain amounts related to contractholder-directed equity securities (Unit-linked contract income), (iv) excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are variable interest entities (VIEs) consolidated under GAAP (Securitization entities income); and (v) includes distributions of profits from certain other limited partnership interests that were previously accounted for under the cost method, but are now accounted for at estimated fair value, where the change in estimated fair value is recognized in NIGL under GAAP (Certain partnership distributions); and
Other revenues is adjusted for settlements of foreign currency earnings hedges and excludes fees received in association with services provided under transition service agreements (TSA fees).

Page 12 of 28





The following additional adjustments are made to expenses, in the line items indicated, in calculating adjusted expenses:
Policyholder benefits and claims and policyholder dividends excludes: (i) amortization of basis adjustments associated with de-designated fair value hedges of future policy benefits (PBC hedge adjustments), (ii) changes in the policyholder dividend obligation related to NIGL and NDGL (PDO adjustments), (iii) inflation-indexed benefit adjustments associated with contracts backed by inflation-indexed investments and amounts associated with periodic crediting rate adjustments based on the total return of a contractually referenced pool of assets and other pass-through adjustments (Inflation and pass-through adjustments), (iv) benefits and hedging costs related to GMIBs (GMIB costs), and (v) market value adjustments associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts (Market value adjustments);
Interest credited to policyholder account balances includes adjustments for earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of policyholder account balances but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment (PAB hedge adjustments) and excludes certain amounts related to net investment income earned on contractholder-directed equity securities (Unit-linked contract costs);
Amortization of DAC and value of business acquired (VOBA) excludes amounts related to: (i) NIGL and NDGL, (ii) GMIB fees and GMIB costs and (iii) Market value adjustments;
Amortization of negative VOBA excludes amounts related to Market value adjustments;
Interest expense on debt excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP (Securitization entities debt expense); and
Other expenses excludes: (i) noncontrolling interests, (ii) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements costs (Regulatory implementation costs), and (iii) acquisition, integration and other costs. Other expenses includes TSA fees.
Adjusted earnings also excludes the recognition of certain contingent assets and liabilities that could not be recognized at acquisition or adjusted for during the measurement period under GAAP business combination accounting guidance.
The tax impact of the adjustments mentioned above are calculated net of the U.S. or foreign statutory tax rate, which could differ from MetLife’s effective tax rate. Additionally, the provision for income tax (expense) benefit also includes the impact related to the timing of certain tax credits, as well as certain tax reforms.

Page 13 of 28





Investment portfolio gains (losses) and derivative gains (losses)
These are measures of investment and hedging activity. Investment portfolio gains (losses) principally excludes amounts that are reported within net investment gains (losses) but do not relate to the performance of the investment portfolio, such as gains (losses) on sales and divestitures of businesses, goodwill impairment or changes in estimated fair value. Derivative gains (losses) principally excludes earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives, where such derivatives are either hedges of investments or are used to replicate certain investments, and where such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting. This earned income and amortization of premium is reported within adjusted earnings and not within derivative gains (losses).

Allocated equity: portion of MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity that management allocates to each of its segments and sub-segments based on local capital requirements and economic capital. Economic capital is an internally developed risk capital model, the purpose of which is to measure the risk in the business and to provide a basis upon which capital is deployed. MetLife management periodically reviews this model to ensure that it remains consistent with emerging industry practice standards and the local capital requirements; allocated equity may be adjusted if warranted by such review. Allocated equity excludes the impact of AOCI other than FCTA.
Adjusted return on allocated equity: adjusted earnings available to common shareholders divided by allocated equity.

GA AUM is used by MetLife to describe assets in its GA investment portfolio which are actively managed and stated at estimated fair value. GA AUM is comprised of GA total investments and cash and cash equivalents, excluding policy loans, contractholder-directed equity securities, fair value option securities and certain other invested assets, as substantially all of these assets are not actively managed in MetLife’s GA investment portfolio. Mortgage loans (including commercial, agricultural and residential) and real estate and real estate joint ventures included in GA AUM (at net asset value, net of deduction for encumbering debt) have been adjusted from carrying value to estimated fair value. At the segment level, intersegment balances (intercompany activity, primarily related to investments in subsidiaries, that eliminate at the MetLife consolidated level) are excluded from GA AUM.

Page 15 of 28





GA AUM (at amortized cost) excludes the following adjustments: (i) unrealized gain (loss) on investments carried at estimated fair value and (ii) adjustments from carrying value to estimated fair value on mortgage loans (including commercial, agricultural and residential) and real estate and real estate joint ventures. GA AUM (at amortized cost) is presented net of related allowance for credit loss.
Statistical sales information:
U.S.:
Group Benefits: calculated using 10% of single premium deposits and 100% of annualized full-year premiums and fees from recurring premium policy sales of all products.
Retirement and Income Solutions: calculated using 10% of single premium deposits and 100% of annualized full-year premiums and fees only from recurring premium policy sales of specialized benefit resources and corporate-owned life insurance.
Property & Casualty: calculated based on first year direct written premium, net of cancellation and endorsement activity.
Latin America, Asia and EMEA: calculated using 10% of single-premium deposits (mainly from retirement products such as variable annuity, fixed annuity and pensions), 20% of single-premium deposits from credit insurance and 100% of annualized full-year premiums and fees from recurring-premium policy sales of all products (mainly from risk and protection products such as individual life, accident & health and group).

Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under GAAP, but are used as relevant measures of business activity.
The following additional information is relevant to an understanding of MetLife’s performance results and outlook:
Volume growth, as discussed in the context of business growth, is the period over period percentage change in adjusted earnings available to common shareholders attributable to adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues and assets under management levels, applying a model in which certain margins and factors are held constant. The most significant of such items are underwriting margins, investment margins, changes in equity market performance, expense margins and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
MetLife uses a measure of free cash flow to facilitate an understanding of its ability to generate cash for reinvestment into its businesses or use in non-mandatory capital actions. MetLife defines free cash flow as the sum of cash available at MetLife’s holding companies from dividends from operating subsidiaries, expenses and other net flows of the holding companies (including capital contributions to subsidiaries), and net contributions from debt to be at or below target leverage ratios. This measure of free cash flow is prior to capital actions, such as common stock dividends and repurchases, debt reduction and mergers and acquisitions. Free cash flow should not be viewed as a substitute for net cash provided by (used in) operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP. The free cash flow ratio is typically expressed as a percentage of annual adjusted earnings available to common shareholders.
Notable items represent a positive (negative) impact to adjusted earnings available to common shareholders. Notable items reflect the unexpected impact of events that affect MetLife’s results, but that were unknown and that MetLife could not anticipate when it devised its Business Plan. Notable items also include certain items regardless of the extent anticipated in the Business Plan, to help investors have a better understanding of MetLife's results and to evaluate and forecast those results.
We refer to observable forward yield curves as of a particular date in connection with making our estimates for future results. The observable forward yield curves at a given time are based on implied future interest rates along a range of interest rate durations. This includes the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate which we use as a benchmark rate to describe longer-term interest rates used in our estimates for future results.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release may contain or incorporate by reference information that includes or is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give expectations or forecasts of future events. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words and terms such as "2Q," “anticipate,” "continue," “estimate,” “expect,” "future," "ongoing," "outlook," "plan," "positioned," “project,” "remain," “second quarter,” "target," "will," "would," and other words and terms of similar meaning, in each of their forms of speech, or that are tied to future periods, in connection with a discussion of future performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective services or products, future performance or results of current and anticipated services or products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, trends in operations and financial results.

Many factors will be important in determining the results of MetLife, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates. Forward-looking statements are based on our assumptions and current expectations, which may be inaccurate, and on the current economic environment, which may change. These statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Risks, uncertainties, and other factors that might cause such differences include the risks, uncertainties and other factors identified in MetLife, Inc.’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors include: (1) the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and responses to it, which may also precipitate or exacerbate the remaining risks; (2) difficult economic conditions, including risks relating to interest rates, credit spreads, equity, real estate, obligors and counterparties, currency exchange rates, derivatives, and terrorism and security; (3) adverse global capital and credit market conditions, which may affect our ability to meet liquidity needs and access capital, including through credit facilities; (4) downgrades in our claims paying ability, financial strength or credit ratings; (5) availability and effectiveness of reinsurance, hedging or indemnification arrangements; (6) increasing cost and limited market capacity for statutory life insurance reserve financings; (7) the impact on us of changes to and implementation of the wide variety of laws and regulations to which we are subject; (8) regulatory, legislative or tax changes relating to our operations that may affect the cost of, or demand for, our products or services; (9) adverse results or other consequences from litigation, arbitration or regulatory investigations; (10) legal, regulatory and other restrictions affecting MetLife, Inc.’s ability to pay dividends and repurchase common stock; (11) MetLife, Inc.’s primary reliance, as a holding company, on dividends from subsidiaries to meet free cash flow targets and debt payment obligations and the applicable regulatory restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries to pay such dividends; (12) investment losses, defaults and volatility; (13) potential liquidity and other risks resulting from our participation in a securities lending program and other transactions; (14) changes to securities and investment valuations, allowances and impairments taken on investments, and methodologies, estimates and assumptions;

(15) differences between actual claims experience and underwriting and reserving assumptions; (16) political, legal, operational, economic and other risks relating to our global operations; (17) competitive pressures, including with respect to pricing, entry of new competitors, consolidation of distributors, the development of new products by new and existing competitors, and for personnel; (18) the impact of technological changes on our businesses; (19) catastrophe losses; (20) a deterioration in the experience of the closed block established in connection with the reorganization of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company; (21) impairment of goodwill or other long-lived assets, or the establishment of a valuation allowance against our deferred income tax asset; (22) changes in assumptions related to deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements or value of business acquired; (23) exposure to losses related to guarantees in certain products; (24) ineffectiveness of risk management policies and procedures or models; (25) a failure in cybersecurity systems or other information security systems or disaster recovery plans; (26) any failure to protect the confidentiality of client information; (27) changes in accounting standards; (28) associates taking excessive risks; (29) difficulties in or complications from marketing and distributing products through our distribution channels; (30) increased expenses relating to pension and other postretirement benefit plans; (31) inability to protect our intellectual property rights or claims of infringement of others’ intellectual property rights; (32) difficulties, unforeseen liabilities, asset impairments, or rating agency actions arising from business acquisitions and dispositions, joint ventures, or other legal entity reorganizations; (33) unanticipated or adverse developments that could harm our expected operational or other benefits from the separation of Brighthouse Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries; (34) the possibility that MetLife, Inc.’s Board of Directors may influence the outcome of stockholder votes through the voting provisions of the MetLife Policyholder Trust; (35) provisions of laws and our incorporation documents that may delay, deter or prevent takeovers and corporate combinations involving MetLife; and (36) other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in MetLife, Inc.’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

MetLife, Inc. does not undertake any obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statement if MetLife, Inc. later becomes aware that such statement is not likely to be achieved.

Notable items also include certain items regardless of the extent anticipated in the Business Plan to help investors have a better understanding of MetLife's results and to evaluate and forecast those results. Notable items can affect MetLife’s results either positively or negatively.

(2) These notable items represent a positive (negative) impact to adjusted earnings available to common shareholders and adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share. The per share data for each notable item is calculated on a standalone basis and may not sum to total notable items. Notable items reflect the unexpected impact of events that affect MetLife's results, but that were unknown and that MetLife could not anticipate when it devised its Business Plan. Notable items also include certain items regardless of the extent anticipated in the Business Plan to help investors have a better understanding of MetLife's results and to evaluate and forecast those results. See Page A-2 for further detail.

(1) Notable items are related to “interest on tax adjustments” and “expense initiative costs”. Notable items reflect the unexpected impact of events that affect MetLife’s results, but that were unknown and that MetLife could not anticipate when it devised its Business Plan. Notable items also include certain items regardless of the extent anticipated in the Business Plan to help investors have a better understanding of MetLife's results and to evaluate and forecast those results. Notable items can affect MetLife’s results either positively or negatively. See Page A-2 for further detail.

(1) Includes $0, $102 million, $20 million, $2.4 billion and $0 of transfers from separate account GICs to synthetic GICs at March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019, December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively. These transfers are reported as surrenders and withdrawals on the separate account liabilities table and premiums and deposits on the synthetic GICs table.
 
(2) A synthetic GIC is a contract that simulates the performance of a traditional GIC through the use of financial instruments and is reported as a derivative. A key difference between a synthetic GIC and a traditional GIC is that the contractholder owns the assets underlying the synthetic GIC. The assets and corresponding contractholder account balance are not on MetLife, Inc.'s consolidated balance sheet, as they are for a traditional GIC. The contractholder account balance is reported at contract value in the table above.

(1) We calculate yields using average quarterly asset carrying values. Yields exclude the impact of recognized gains and losses, includes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and reflects the adjustments described on Page A-6 and presented on Page 5. Asset carrying values exclude unrealized gains (losses), collateral received in connection with our securities lending program, annuities funding structured settlement claims, freestanding derivative assets, collateral received from derivative counterparties, the effects of consolidating under GAAP certain VIEs that are treated as CSEs and contractholder-directed equity securities. A yield is not presented for other invested assets, as it is not considered a meaningful measure of performance for this asset class.
 
(2) Fixed maturity securities includes investment income related to fair value option securities of $55 million, $38 million, $59 million, $32 million and $(78) million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019, December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively, and $55 million and $(78) million for the year-to-date period ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively.
 
(3) Investment income from fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans includes prepayment fees.
 
(4) The following table presents the components of total fixed maturity securities and a reconciliation to ending carrying value presented for fixed maturity securities.

(7) Amounts presented are based on ratings of NRSRO and the applicable NAIC designation from the NAIC published comparison of NRSRO ratings to NAIC designations, except for certain mortgage-backed securities (non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities). NRSRO ratings are based on availability of applicable ratings. If no NRSRO rating is available, then an internally developed rating is used. Amounts presented for certain mortgage-backed securities held by MetLife, Inc.'s insurance subsidiaries that maintain the NAIC statutory basis of accounting reflect designations based on revised NAIC methodologies. The NAIC's present methodology is to evaluate certain mortgage-backed securities held by insurers using the revised NAIC methodologies on an annual basis. An internally developed designation is used until a final designation becomes available from the NAIC annual review. These revised NAIC designations may not correspond to NRSRO ratings.
 
(8) MetLife's review of its fixed maturity securities for impairments includes an analysis of the total gross unrealized losses by three categories of securities: (i) securities where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost by less than 20%; (ii) securities where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost by 20% or more for less than six months; and (iii) securities where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost by 20% or more for six months or greater.

METLIFE
NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

In this QFS, MetLife presents certain measures of its performance on a consolidated and segment basis that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding of our performance by highlighting the results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of our business. Segment-specific financial measures are calculated using only the portion of consolidated results attributable to that specific segment.

Any of these financial measures shown on a constant currency basis reflect the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are calculated using the average foreign currency exchange rates for the most recent period. As a result, comparable prior period amounts are updated each period to reflect the most recent period average foreign currency exchange rates.
 
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this QFS and in this period’s earnings news release which is available at www.metlife.com.

Our definitions of non-GAAP and other financial measures discussed in this QFS may differ from those used by other companies:

Adjusted earnings and related measures
 
adjusted earnings;
 
adjusted earnings available to common shareholders;
 
adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share; and
 
adjusted earnings available to common shareholders on a constant currency basis.
 
These measures are used by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Consistent with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, adjusted earnings and components of, or other financial measures based on, adjusted earnings are also MetLife’s GAAP measures of segment performance. Adjusted earnings and other financial measures based on adjusted earnings are also the measures by which MetLife senior management’s and many other employees’ performance is evaluated for the purposes of determining their compensation under applicable compensation plans. Adjusted earnings and other financial measures based on adjusted earnings allow analysis of MetLife's performance relative to its Business Plan and facilitate comparisons to industry results.

Adjusted earnings is defined as adjusted revenues less adjusted expenses, net of income tax. Adjusted earnings available to common shareholders is defined as adjusted earnings less preferred stock dividends.

METLIFE
NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)
 
Adjusted revenues and adjusted expenses
 
These financial measures, along with the related adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, focus on our primary businesses principally by excluding the impact of market volatility, which could distort trends, and revenues and costs related to non-core products and certain entities required to be consolidated under GAAP. Also, these measures exclude results of discontinued operations under GAAP and other businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife but do not meet the discontinued operations criteria under GAAP (“Divested businesses”). Divested businesses also include the net impact of transactions with exited businesses that have been eliminated in consolidation under GAAP and costs relating to businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife that do not meet the criteria to be included in results of discontinued operations under GAAP. Adjusted revenues also excludes NIGL and NDGL. Adjusted expenses also excludes goodwill impairments.
 
 
 
The following additional adjustments are made to revenues, in the line items indicated, in calculating adjusted revenues:
 
Universal life and investment-type product policy fees excludes the amortization of unearned revenue related to NIGL and NDGL (“Unearned revenue adjustments”) and certain variable annuity GMIB fees (“GMIB fees”);
 
Net investment income: (i) includes adjustments for earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of investments or that are used to replicate certain investments but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment (“Investment hedge adjustments”), (ii) excludes post-tax adjusted earnings adjustments relating to insurance joint ventures accounted for under the equity method (“Operating joint venture adjustments”), (iii) excludes certain amounts related to contractholder-directed equity securities (“Unit-linked contract income”), (iv) excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP (“Securitization entities income”), and (v) includes distributions of profits from certain other limited partnership interests that were previously accounted for under the cost method, but are now accounted for at estimated fair value, where the change in estimated fair value is recognized in NIGL under GAAP ("Certain partnership distributions"); and
 
Other revenues is adjusted for settlements of foreign currency earnings hedges and excludes fees received in association with services provided under transition service agreements ("TSA fees").
 
 
 
The following additional adjustments are made to expenses, in the line items indicated, in calculating adjusted expenses:
 
Policyholder benefits and claims and policyholder dividends excludes: (i) amortization of basis adjustments associated with de-designated fair value hedges of future policy benefits ("PBC hedge adjustments"), (ii) changes in the policyholder dividend obligation related to NIGL and NDGL (“PDO adjustments”), (iii) inflation-indexed benefit adjustments associated with contracts backed by inflation-indexed investments and amounts associated with periodic crediting rate adjustments based on the total return of a contractually referenced pool of assets and other pass-through adjustments (“Inflation and pass-through adjustments”), (iv) benefits and hedging costs related to GMIBs (“GMIB costs”), and (v) market value adjustments associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts (“Market value adjustments”);
 
Interest credited to policyholder account balances includes adjustments for earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of policyholder account balances but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment (“PAB hedge adjustments”) and excludes certain amounts related to net investment income earned on contractholder-directed equity securities (“Unit-linked contract costs”);
 
Amortization of DAC and VOBA excludes amounts related to: (i) NIGL and NDGL, (ii) GMIB fees and GMIB costs, and (iii) Market value adjustments;
 
Amortization of negative VOBA excludes amounts related to Market value adjustments;
 
Interest expense on debt excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP (“Securitization entities debt expense”); and
 
Other expenses excludes: (i) noncontrolling interests, (ii) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements costs (“Regulatory implementation costs”) and (iii) acquisition, integration and other costs. Other expenses includes TSA fees.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Adjusted earnings also excludes the recognition of certain contingent assets and liabilities that could not be recognized at acquisition or adjusted for during the measurement period under GAAP business combination accounting guidance.

The tax impact of the adjustments mentioned above are calculated net of the U.S. or foreign statutory tax rate, which could differ from MetLife's effective tax rate. Additionally, the provision for income tax (expense) benefit also includes the impact related to the timing of certain tax credits, as well as certain tax reforms.
 
Investment portfolio gains (losses) and derivative gains (losses)

These are measures of investment and hedging activity. Investment portfolio gains (losses) principally excludes amounts that are reported within net investment gains (losses) but do not relate to the performance of the investment portfolio, such as gains (losses) on sales and divestitures of businesses, goodwill impairment or changes in estimated fair value. Derivative gains (losses) principally excludes earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives, where such derivatives are either hedges of investments or are used to replicate certain investments, and where such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting. This earned income and amortization of premium is reported within adjusted earnings and not within derivative gains (losses).

Allocated equity: portion of MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity that management allocates to each of its segments and sub-segments based on local capital requirements and economic capital. Economic capital is an internally developed risk capital model, the purpose of which is to measure the risk in the business and to provide a basis upon which capital is deployed. MetLife management periodically reviews this model to ensure that it remains consistent with emerging industry practice standards and the local capital requirements; allocated equity may be adjusted if warranted by such review. Allocated equity excludes the impact of AOCI other than FCTA.
 
Adjusted return on allocated equity: adjusted earnings available to common shareholders divided by allocated equity.
 
 
The above measures represent a level of equity consistent with the view that, in the ordinary course of business, we do not plan to sell most investments for the sole purpose of realizing gains or losses. Also, refer to the utilization of adjusted earnings and components of, or other financial measures based on, adjusted earnings mentioned above.
 
Total MetLife, Inc.’s tangible common stockholders’ equity or tangible equity: Total MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity, excluding AOCI other than FCTA, reduced by the impact of goodwill, VODA and VOCRA, all net of income tax.

Allocated tangible equity: Allocated equity reduced by the impact of goodwill, VODA and VOCRA, all net of income tax.
 
Adjusted return on allocated tangible equity: adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding amortization of VODA and VOCRA, net of income tax, divided by allocated tangible equity.
 
 
The above measures are, when considered in conjunction with regulatory capital ratios, a measure of capital adequacy.
 
 
 
Expense ratio, direct expense ratio, adjusted expense ratio and related measures
 
Expense ratio: other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC, divided by premiums, fees and other revenues.
 
Direct expense ratio: direct expenses, on an adjusted basis, divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues.
 
Direct expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses and PRT: direct expenses, on an adjusted basis, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses, divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, excluding PRT.
 
Adjusted expense ratio: other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC, both on an adjusted basis, divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues.
 
Adjusted expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to other expenses and PRT: other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC, both on an adjusted basis, excluding total notable items related to other expenses, divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, excluding PRT.
 
 
 
General account assets under management and related measures
 
GA AUM is used by MetLife to describe assets in its GA investment portfolio which are actively managed and stated at estimated fair value. GA AUM is comprised of GA total investments and cash and cash equivalents, excluding policy loans, contractholder-directed equity securities, fair value option securities and certain other invested assets, as substantially all of these assets are not actively managed in MetLife’s GA investment portfolio. Mortgage loans (including commercial, agricultural and residential) and real estate and real estate joint ventures included in GA AUM (at net asset value, net of deduction for encumbering debt) have been adjusted from carrying value to estimated fair value. At the segment level, intersegment balances (intercompany activity, primarily related to investments in subsidiaries, that eliminate at the MetLife consolidated level) are excluded from GA AUM.
 

GA AUM (at amortized cost) excludes the following adjustments: (i) unrealized gain (loss) on investments carried at estimated fair value and (ii) adjustments from carrying value to estimated fair value on mortgage loans (including commercial, agricultural and residential) and real estate and real estate joint ventures. GA AUM (at amortized cost) is presented net of related allowance for credit loss.
 
 
 
Other items
 
The following additional information is relevant to an understanding of our performance results:
 
Statistical sales information for Latin America, Asia and EMEA: calculated using 10% of single-premium deposits (mainly from retirement products such as variable annuity, fixed annuity and pensions), 20% of single-premium deposits from credit insurance and 100% of annualized full-year premiums and fees from recurring-premium policy sales of all products (mainly from risk and protection products such as individual life, accident & health and group). Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under GAAP, but are used as relevant measures of business activity.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements The forward-looking statements in this presentation, such as "expect," "2Q20 outlook," "estimate," "target," and "assuming," are based on assumptions and expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, including the “Risk Factors” MetLife, Inc. describes in its Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 6, 2020, and in its other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings. MetLife’s future results could differ, and it has no obligation to correct or update any of these statements.   15


 
Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP and Other Financial Information Any references in this presentation (except in this Explanatory Note on Non- GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliations) to: Should be read as, respectively: (i) net income (loss); (i) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders; (ii) net income (loss) per share; (ii) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders per diluted common share; (iii) adjusted earnings; and (iii) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders; and (iv) adjusted earnings per share. (iv) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share. In this presentation, MetLife presents certain measures of its performance on a consolidated and segment basis that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). MetLife believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding of MetLife’s performance by highlighting the results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of the business. Segment-specific financial measures are calculated using only the portion of consolidated results attributable to that specific segment. The following non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as substitutes for the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP:      Non-GAAP financial measures: Comparable GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues; (i) premiums, fees and other revenues; (ii) adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, excluding pension risk transfers (PRT); (ii) premiums, fees and other revenues; (iii) capitalization of deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC), as reported on an adjusted (iii) capitalization of DAC; basis; (iv) other expenses, as reported on an adjusted basis; (iv) other expenses; (v) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders; (v) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders; (vi) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items; (vi) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders; (vii) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share; (vii) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders per diluted common share; (viii) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, per (viii) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders per diluted diluted common share; common share; (ix) other expenses, as reported on an adjusted basis; (ix) other expenses; (x) other expenses, net of capitalization of deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC), as (x) other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC; reported on an adjusted basis; (xi) other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC, excluding total notable items related to (xi) other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC; other expenses, as reported on adjusted basis; (xii) adjusted expense ratio; (xii) expense ratio; (xiii) adjusted expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to other expenses and (xiii) expense ratio; PRT; (xiv) direct expenses; (xiv) other expenses; (xv) direct expenses, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses; (xv) other expenses; (xvi) direct expense ratio; and (xvi) expense ratio; and (xvii) direct expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses and PRT. (xvii) expense ratio. 16


 
Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP and Other Financial Information (Continued) Any of these financial measures shown on a constant currency basis reflect the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are calculated using the average foreign currency exchange rates for the most recent period and applied to the comparable prior period. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this presentation and in this period’s quarterly financial supplement and earnings news release, which are available at www.metlife.com. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis because we believe it is not possible without unreasonable effort to provide other than a range of net investment gains and losses and net derivative gains and losses, which can fluctuate significantly within or outside the range and from period to period and may have a material impact on net income. MetLife’s definitions of non-GAAP and other financial measures discussed in this presentation may differ from those used by other companies: Adjusted earnings and related measures • adjusted earnings; • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders; • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders on a constant currency basis; • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items; • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, on a constant currency basis; • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share; • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders on a constant currency basis per diluted common share; • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items per diluted common share; and • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, on a constant currency basis per diluted common share. These measures are used by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Consistent with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, adjusted earnings and components of, or other financial measures based on, adjusted earnings are also MetLife’s GAAP measures of segment performance. Adjusted earnings and other financial measures based on adjusted earnings are also the measures by which MetLife senior management’s and many other employees’ performance is evaluated for the purposes of determining their compensation under applicable compensation plans. Adjusted earnings and other financial measures based on adjusted earnings allow analysis of MetLife's performance relative to its Business Plan and facilitate comparisons to industry results.   Adjusted earnings is defined as adjusted revenues less adjusted expenses, net of income tax. Adjusted loss is defined as negative adjusted earnings. Adjusted earnings available to common shareholders is defined as adjusted earnings less preferred stock dividends. Adjusted revenues and adjusted expenses These financial measures, along with the related adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, focus on our primary businesses principally by excluding the impact of market volatility, which could distort trends, and revenues and costs related to non- core products and certain entities required to be consolidated under GAAP. Also, these measures exclude results of discontinued operations under GAAP and other businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife but do not meet the discontinued operations criteria under GAAP (Divested businesses). Divested businesses also include the net impact of transactions with exited businesses that have been eliminated in consolidation under GAAP and costs relating to businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife that do not meet the criteria to be included in results of discontinued operations under GAAP. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2016, adjusted revenues and adjusted expenses exclude the financial impact of converting the Company’s Japan operations to calendar year-end reporting without retrospective application of this change to prior periods and is referred to as lag elimination. Adjusted revenues also excludes net investment gains (losses) (NIGL) and net derivative gains (losses) (NDGL). Adjusted expenses also excludes goodwill impairments.   17


 
Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP and Other Financial Information (Continued) The following additional adjustments are made to revenues, in the line items indicated, in calculating adjusted revenues: • Universal life and investment-type product policy fees excludes the amortization of unearned revenue related to NIGL and NDGL (Unearned revenue adjustments) and certain variable annuity guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB) fees (GMIB fees); • Net investment income: (i) includes adjustments for earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of investments or that are used to replicate certain investments but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment (Investment hedge adjustments), (ii) excludes post-tax adjusted earnings adjustments relating to insurance joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, (iii) excludes certain amounts related to contractholder-directed equity securities, (iv) excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are variable interest entities (VIEs) consolidated under GAAP and (v) includes distributions of profits from certain other limited partnership interests that were previously accounted for under the cost method, but are now accounted for at estimated fair value, where the change in estimated fair value is recognized in NIGL under GAAP; and • Other revenues is adjusted for settlements of foreign currency earnings hedges and excludes fees received in association with services provided under transition service agreements (TSA fees). The following additional adjustments are made to expenses, in the line items indicated, in calculating adjusted expenses:   • Policyholder benefits and claims and policyholder dividends excludes: (i) amortization of basis adjustments associated with de-designated fair value hedges of future policy benefits, (ii) changes in the policyholder dividend obligation related to NIGL and NDGL, (iii) inflation-indexed benefit adjustments associated with contracts backed by inflation-indexed investments and amounts associated with periodic crediting rate adjustments based on the total return of a contractually referenced pool of assets and other pass-through adjustments, (iv) benefits and hedging costs related to GMIBs (GMIB costs), and (v) market value adjustments associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts (Market value adjustments); • Interest credited to policyholder account balances includes adjustments for earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of policyholder account balances but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and excludes certain amounts related to net investment income earned on contractholder-directed equity securities; • Amortization of DAC and value of business acquired (VOBA) excludes amounts related to: (i) NIGL and NDGL, (ii) GMIB fees and GMIB costs and (iii) Market value adjustments; • Amortization of negative VOBA excludes amounts related to Market value adjustments; • Interest expense on debt excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP; and • Other expenses excludes: (i) noncontrolling interests, (ii) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements costs (Regulatory implementation costs), and (iii) acquisition, integration and other costs. Other expenses includes TSA fees. Adjusted earnings also excludes the recognition of certain contingent assets and liabilities that could not be recognized at acquisition or adjusted for during the measurement period under GAAP business combination accounting guidance.   The tax impact of the adjustments mentioned above are calculated net of the U.S. or foreign statutory tax rate, which could differ from MetLife's effective tax rate. Additionally, the provision for income tax (expense) benefit also includes the impact related to the timing of certain tax credits, as well as certain tax reforms. Expense ratio, direct expense ratio, adjusted expense ratio and related measures: • Expense ratio: other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC, divided by premiums, fees and other revenues. • Direct expense ratio: direct expenses, on an adjusted basis, divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues. • Direct expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses and PRT: direct expenses, on an adjusted basis, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses, divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, excluding PRT. • Adjusted expense ratio: other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC, both on an adjusted basis, divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues. • Adjusted expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to other expenses and PRT: other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC, both on an adjusted basis, excluding total notable items related to other expenses, divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, excluding PRT. 18


 
Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP and Other Financial Information (Continued) Statistical sales information: • U.S.: • Group Benefits: calculated using 10% of single premium deposits and 100% of annualized full-year premiums and fees from recurring premium policy sales of all products. • Retirement and Income Solutions: calculated using 10% of single premium deposits and 100% of annualized full-year premiums and fees only from recurring premium policy sales of specialized benefit resources and corporate-owned life insurance. • Property & Casualty: calculated based on first year direct written premium, net of cancellation and endorsement activity. • Latin America, Asia and EMEA: calculated using 10% of single-premium deposits (mainly from retirement products such as variable annuity, fixed annuity and pensions), 20% of single-premium deposits from credit insurance and 100% of annualized full-year premiums and fees from recurring-premium policy sales of all products (mainly from risk and protection products such as individual life, accident & health and group). Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under GAAP, but are used as relevant measures of business activity. The following additional information is relevant to an understanding of MetLife’s performance results and outlook: • Volume growth, as discussed in the context of business growth, is the period over period percentage change in adjusted earnings available to common shareholders attributable to adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues and assets under management levels, applying a model in which certain margins and factors are held constant. The most significant of such items are underwriting margins, investment margins, changes in equity market performance, expense margins and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. • MetLife uses a measure of free cash flow to facilitate an understanding of its ability to generate cash for reinvestment into its businesses or use in non-mandatory capital actions. MetLife defines free cash flow as the sum of cash available at MetLife’s holding companies from dividends from operating subsidiaries, expenses and other net flows of the holding companies (including capital contributions to subsidiaries), and net contributions from debt to be at or below target leverage ratios. This measure of free cash flow is prior to capital actions, such as common stock dividends and repurchases, debt reduction and mergers and acquisitions. Free cash flow should not be viewed as a substitute for net cash provided by (used in) operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP. The free cash flow ratio is typically expressed as a percentage of annual adjusted earnings available to common shareholders. • Notable items represent a positive (negative) impact to adjusted earnings available to common shareholders. Notable items reflect the unexpected impact of events that affect MetLife’s results, but that were unknown and that MetLife could not anticipate when it devised its Business Plan. Notable items also include certain items regardless of the extent anticipated in the Business Plan, to help investors have a better understanding of MetLife's results and to evaluate and forecast those results. • General Account (GA) Assets Under Management (GA AUM) is used by MetLife to describe assets in its GA investment portfolio which are actively managed and stated at estimated fair value. GA AUM is comprised of GA total investments and cash and cash equivalents, excluding policy loans, contractholder-directed equity securities, fair value option securities and certain other invested assets, as substantially all of these assets are not actively managed in MetLife’s GA investment portfolio. Mortgage loans (including commercial, agricultural and residential) and real estate and real estate joint ventures included in GA AUM (at net asset value, net of deduction for encumbering debt) have been adjusted from carrying value to estimated fair value. At the segment level, intersegment balances (intercompany activity, primarily related to investments in subsidiaries, that eliminate at the MetLife consolidated level) are excluded from GA AUM. • We refer to observable forward yield curves as of a particular date in connection with making our estimates for future results. The observable forward yield curves at a given time are based on implied future interest rates along a range of interest rate durations. This includes the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate which we use as a benchmark rate to describe longer-term interest rates used in our estimates for future results. 19
