Conor Murphy, F&G's Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "F&G continued to build momentum in the third quarter, with record core retail sales driving assets under management before reinsurance to a record $76.2 billion. Importantly, we are generating this growth while maintaining our disciplined approach to pricing and profitability, prioritizing business that meets our return targets and allocating capital to the most attractive opportunities.

Third Quarter 2026
- AUM before flow reinsurance was $76.2 billion as of September 30, 2026, a 7% increase over $71.4 billion for the third quarter of 2025. This included retained AUM of $56.2 billion
- Gross sales were $3.0 billion for the third quarter, comprised of $2.3 billion core sales and nearly $700 million opportunistic sales, compared with $4.2 billion for the third quarter of 2025 which comprised of $2.2 billion core sales and a record $2.0 billion opportunistic sales; reflects our commitment to manage growth for the long-term
- Core sales were $2.3 billion for the third quarter reflects a record $2.1 billion of core retail (indexed annuities and indexed universal life) sales and steady momentum with $200 million of core institutional (pension risk transfer) sales
- Opportunistic sales were nearly $700 million for the third quarter, primarily comprised of funding agreements, compared to a record $2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2025, split between multiyear guaranteed annuities and funding agreements. Over the past year, we have de-emphasized multiyear guaranteed annuities sales due to returns below our threshold, as we maintain pricing discipline and prioritize capital allocation to the highest return opportunities. Opportunistic volumes vary quarter to quarter depending on economics and market opportunity
- Net sales were $1.4 billion for the third quarter, compared with $2.8 billion for the third quarter of 2025; reflects flow reinsurance in line with capital targets for multiyear guaranteed annuities and fixed indexed annuities
- F&G Segment net earnings attributable to common shareholders were $535 million for the third quarter which included favorable mark-to-market movement, compared to net earnings of $98 million for the third quarter of 2025 which included unfavorable mark-to-market movement
- F&G Segment adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders were $72 million for the third quarter, which reflects our approximately 72% ownership stake following the stock distribution at year-end, compared with $139 million for the third quarter of 2025, which reflected our approximately 82% ownership stake
- F&G Segment adjusted net earningswere $72 million for the third quarter of 2026. Investment income from alternative investments was $43 million, or $0.16 per share, below management's current long-term expected return of approximately 12%
- F&G Segment adjusted net earnings were $139 million for the third quarter of 2025, including $11 million, or $0.04 per share, of significant income items. Investment income from alternative investments was $43 million, or $0.16 per share, below management's long-term expected return
- As compared with the prior year quarter and excluding the above items, adjusted net earnings reflect consistent core spread as the business maintained disciplined pricing. Total product margin was reduced after reflecting the F&G Life Re (Bermuda) sale, as well as lower surrender charge fee income and higher other liability costs that include increased amortization expense, as expected. These items were partially offset by steady fees from accretive flow reinsurance and owned distribution margin, and disciplined expense management which continued to drive scale benefit

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release includes non-GAAP financial measures, which the Company believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. These non-GAAP measures include adjusted net earnings per share, adjusted pre-tax title earnings, adjusted pre-tax title earnings as a percentage of adjusted title revenue (adjusted pre-tax title margin), adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders (adjusted net earnings), assets under management (AUM), average assets under management (AAUM) and sales.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other organizations because other organizations may not calculate such non-GAAP measures in the same manner as we do.
The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. By disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures, FNF believes it offers investors a greater understanding of, and an enhanced level of transparency into, the means by which the Company's management operates the Company.
Any non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net earnings, net earnings attributable to common shareholders, net earnings per share, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or liquidity. Further, FNF's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.

DEFINITIONS
The following represents the definitions of non-GAAP measures used by the Company.
Adjusted Net Earnings attributable to common shareholders
Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders (ANE) is a non-GAAP economic measure used to evaluate financial performance each period.
ANE eliminates the impact of specific items that are not indicative of the underlying economics of our business, including certain market volatility, asymmetrical and noneconomic accounting, nonrecurring items and other income and expense adjustments. These items are volatile in our reported GAAP earnings and are not indicative of the underlying profitability drivers reflected in the design and pricing of our products and/or our investment and hedging strategy, as such items fluctuate from period to period in a manner inconsistent with these drivers.
ANE provides information to enhance an investor's understanding of our results and underlying profitability drivers by removing the impact of short-term market volatility (i.e. recognized gains and losses, market risk benefits remeasurement gains and losses, derivative gains and losses), asymmetrical and non-economic accounting (i.e. derivatives and investment hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting, deferred pension risk transfer deferred profit liability losses), and other adjustments.
ANE is calculated by adjusting net earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders to eliminate:
i. Recognized (gains) and losses, net: the impact of net investment gains/losses, including changes in allowance for
expected credit losses and other than temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses, recognized in operations; and the effects
of changes in fair value of the reinsurance related embedded derivative and other derivatives, including interest rate
swaps and forwards;
ii. Market related liability adjustments: the impacts related to changes in the fair value, including both realized and
unrealized gains and losses, of index product related derivatives and embedded derivatives, net of hedging cost; the
impact of initial pension risk transfer deferred profit liability losses, including amortization from previously
deferred pension risk transfer deferred profit liability losses; and the changes in the fair value of market risk
benefits by deferring current period changes and amortizing that amount over the life of the market risk benefit;
iii. Purchase price amortization: the impacts related to the amortization of certain intangibles (internally developed
software, trademarks and value of distribution asset and the change in fair value of liabilities recognized as a result
of acquisition activities);
iv.
Transaction costs: the impacts related to acquisition, integration and merger related items;
v. Certain income tax adjustments: the impacts related to unusual tax items that do not reflect our core operating
performance such as the establishment or reversal of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances;
vi. Other and "non-recurring," "infrequent" or "unusual items": Other adjustments include removing any charges associated
with U.S. guaranty fund assessments as these charges neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company's business
nor reflect the Company's underlying business performance, but result from external situations not controlled by the
Company. Further, Management excludes certain items determined to be "non-recurring," "infrequent" or "unusual" from
adjusted net earnings when incurred if it is determined these items are not a reflection of the core business and when
the nature of the item is such that it is not reasonably likely to recur within two years and/or there was not a
similar item in the preceding two years;
vii. Non-controlling interest on non-GAAP adjustments: the portion of the non-GAAP adjustments attributable to the equity
interest of entities that FNF does not wholly own; and
viii. Income taxes: the income tax impact related to the above-mentioned adjustments is measured using an effective tax rate,
as appropriate by tax jurisdiction
Recognized gains and losses are excluded from ANE as part of both adjustments (i) and (ii). As part of those two adjustments to ANE, all material recognized gains and losses are removed except for periodic settlements of interest rate swaps used to economically hedge floating rate investments.
While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall performance of FNF, market conditions and/or the non-operating nature of these items can overshadow the underlying performance of the core business. Accordingly, management considers this to be a useful measure internally and to investors and analysts in analyzing the trends of our operations. Adjusted net earnings should not be used as a substitute for net earnings (loss). However, we believe the adjustments made to net earnings (loss) in order to derive adjusted net earnings provide an understanding of our overall results of operations.
Assets Under Management (AUM)
AUM is comprised of the following components and is reported net of reinsurance assets ceded in accordance with GAAP:
i. total invested assets at amortized cost, excluding investments in unconsolidated affiliates, owned
distribution and derivatives;
ii.
investments in unconsolidated affiliates at carrying value;
iii.
related party loans and investments;
iv.
accrued investment income;
v.
the net payable/receivable for the purchase/sale of investments; and
vi.
cash and cash equivalents excluding derivative collateral at the end of the period.
Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the size of our investment portfolio that is retained.
AUM before Flow Reinsurance
AUM before Flow Reinsurance is comprised of components consistent with AUM, but also includes flow reinsured assets.
Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the size of our investment portfolio including reinsured assets.
Average Assets Under Management (AAUM)
AAUM is calculated as AUM at the beginning of the period and the end of each month in the period, divided by the total number of months in the period plus one.
Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the rate of return on retained assets.
Sales
Annuity, IUL, funding agreement and non-life contingent PRT sales are not derived from any specific GAAP income statement accounts or line items and should not be viewed as a substitute for any financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Sales from these products are recorded as deposit liabilities (i.e., contractholder funds) within the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Life contingent PRT sales are recorded as premiums in revenues within the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that presentation of sales, as measured for management purposes, enhances the understanding of our business and helps depict longer term trends that may not be apparent in the results of operations due to the timing of sales and revenue recognition.
