Business and Basis of Presentation Business and Basis of Presentation
Jackson Financial Inc. ("JFI" or “Jackson Financial”) together with its subsidiaries (the “Company,” which also may be referred to as “we,” “our” or “us”), is a financial services company focused on helping Americans secure their financial futures. Jackson Financial is domiciled in the state of Delaware in the United States (“U.S.”). Jackson Financial became an independent public company on September 13, 2021.

Jackson Financial’s primary life insurance subsidiary, Jackson National Life Insurance Company and its insurance subsidiaries (collectively, “Jackson”), is licensed to sell group and individual annuity products (including variable, registered index-linked, fixed index, fixed and payout annuities), and individual life insurance products, including variable universal life, in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Jackson also participates in the institutional products market through the issuance of guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) and funding agreements. In addition to Jackson, Jackson Financial’s operating subsidiaries include:

PPM America, Inc. (“PPM”), a registered investment adviser, is the Company’s investment management operation that manages the life insurance companies’ general account investment funds. PPM also provides investment services to other institutional clients globally;
Brooke Life Insurance Company (“Brooke Life”), the direct parent of Jackson, is a Michigan life insurance company licensed to sell life insurance and annuity products in the state of Michigan;
Brooke Life Reinsurance Company ("Brooke Re"), also a direct subsidiary of Brooke Life, was formed as a Michigan captive reinsurance company; and
Hickory Brooke Reinsurance Company ("Hickory Re"), a direct subsidiary of Brooke Re, was formed as a Michigan captive reinsurance company.
Other significant wholly-owned subsidiaries of Jackson are as follows:
Life insurers: Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York (“Jackson NY” or “JNY”); Squire Reassurance Company II, Inc. (“Squire Re II”); and VFL International Life Company SPC, LTD;
Registered broker-dealer: Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (“JNLD”); and
Registered investment adviser: Jackson National Asset Management LLC (“JNAM”) manages the life insurance companies' separate account funds underlying our variable annuities products, of which the majority of the funds are sub-advised. JNAM manages and oversees those sub-advisers.
The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements also include other insignificant partnerships, limited liability companies (“LLCs”) and other variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is deemed the primary beneficiary.

Brooke Life Reinsurance Company

During the first quarter of 2024, Jackson entered into a reinsurance transaction with Brooke Re and all economics of the transaction were effective as of January 1, 2024. Jackson and Brooke Re are both direct subsidiaries of Brooke Life and the reinsurance transaction eliminates upon consolidation at JFI. The reinsurance transaction primarily provides for the cession from Jackson to Brooke Re of liabilities associated with certain guaranteed benefit riders under variable annuity contracts and similar products of Jackson (constituting “market risk benefits”), both in-force on the effective date of the reinsurance agreement and written in the future (i.e., on a “flow” basis). For regulatory reporting purposes, Brooke Re utilizes a modified U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") approach, primarily related to market risk benefits, with the intent to increase alignment between assets and liabilities in response to changes in economic factors. The reinsurance transaction and related modified U.S. GAAP approach allows us to mitigate the impact of the cash surrender value floor on Jackson’s total adjusted capital, statutory required capital, and risk-based capital ratio, as well as allows for more efficient economic hedging of the underlying risks of Jackson’s business.
Hickory Brooke Reinsurance Company

During the fourth quarter of 2025, Jackson entered into a reinsurance agreement with Hickory Re, on a quota-share coinsurance basis on certain fixed annuities and fixed index annuities issued by Jackson, including the annuitization of these contracts, with all economics of the transaction effective as of December 1, 2025. Additionally, under the agreement Hickory Re will reinsure the new sales of fixed annuities and fixed index annuities of Jackson. Jackson and Hickory Re, a subsidiary of Brooke Re, are subsidiaries of Brooke Life and the reinsurance transaction eliminates upon consolidation at JFI. For regulatory reporting purposes, Hickory Re measures the liabilities for assumed contracts using a modified U.S. GAAP methodology which is intended to increase alignment between assets and liabilities in response to changes in economic factors.

Hickory Re has been established to serve as a capital-efficient way to accelerate further sales growth of Jackson’s fixed and fixed index annuity products as we grow our spread-based business. In addition, on January 6, 2026, Jackson announced that it entered a long-term strategic partnership with TPG, Inc. ("TPG"), combining the strength of Jackson’s annuity product expertise and broad distribution network with TPG’s private credit platform. The partnership aims to expand Jackson’s spread-based product sales. See Note 25 – Subsequent Events of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on this transaction.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain amounts in the 2024 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2025 presentation.

With the establishment of Brooke Re in the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s hedging program was enhanced to align hedging instruments more closely with market risk benefit reserves, which resulted in higher levels of interest rate hedging consistent with the economics of our business. In connection with this enhanced hedging approach, the Company reviewed its existing interest rate hedging instruments and determined that interest rate swaps that were historically used for duration management purposes should be recharacterized as supporting our hedging of variable annuity market risk benefits. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2024, the periodic settlements and change in settlement accruals on interest rate swaps are now classified as non-operating and excluded from our non-GAAP financial measure of pretax adjusted operating earnings. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted for this prospective recharacterization with respect to interest rate swaps.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates or assumptions, as further discussed in these notes, include:

Valuation of investments and derivative instruments, including fair values of securities deemed to be in an illiquid market and the determination of when an impairment is necessary;
Assumptions used in calculating policy reserves and liabilities, including policyholder behavior, mortality rates, expenses, investment returns and policy crediting rates;
Estimates related to expectations of credit losses on certain financial assets and off-balance sheet exposures;
Assumptions and estimates associated with the Company’s tax positions, including an estimate of the dividends received deduction, which impact the amount of recognized tax benefits recorded by the Company, and assumptions as to future earnings levels being sufficient to realize deferred tax benefits;
Assumptions used in calculating market risk benefits, including policyholder behavior, mortality rates, and capital market assumptions; and
Assumptions impacting the expected term used in amortizing deferred acquisition costs, including policyholder behavior and mortality rates.
These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other appropriate factors. As facts and circumstances evolve, these estimates and assumptions may be adjusted. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. The effects of changes in estimates and assumptions, including those resulting from changing expectations with respect to the economic environment, will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements covering the periods in which the estimates are changed.

Other Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily include money market instruments and bank deposits. Cash equivalents also include
all highly liquid securities and other investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less
at the date of purchase.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Premiums for traditional life insurance and limited-payment insurance contracts are reported as revenues when due. Benefits, claims and expenses are associated with earned revenues in order to recognize profit over the lives of the contracts. This association is accomplished through provisions for future policy benefits and the deferral and amortization of certain acquisition costs.

Deposits on interest-sensitive life products and investment contracts, principally deferred annuities and guaranteed investment contracts, are treated as policyholder deposits and excluded from revenue. Revenues consist primarily of investment income and charges assessed against the account value for mortality charges, surrenders, variable annuity benefit guarantees and administrative expenses. Fee income also includes revenues related to asset management fees and certain service fees. Surrender benefits are treated as repayments of the policyholder account. Annuity benefit payments are treated as reductions to the policyholder account. Death benefits in excess of the policyholder account are recognized as an expense when incurred. Expenses consist primarily of the interest credited to policyholder deposits. Acquisition expenses directly related to the successful acquisition of these contracts are deferred. These deferred acquisition costs are amortized on a constant-level basis over the expected term of the contracts. Expenses not related to policy acquisition are recognized when incurred.
Management Fees Based on a Formula

PPM receives an investment management fee for services as an asset manager for various entities. Revenue for these services is measured based on the terms specified in a customer's contract and is recognized when PPM satisfies a performance obligation. These investment management fees are recognized ratably over the period that assets are managed, and when the probability of significant revenue reversal is remote. PPM also receives performance-based incentive fees from certain entities for which it invests based on predetermined formulas. Performance related management fees are earned over a specified period and can result in additional fees. These fees are recognized at the end of the specified period, once the fees are fixed, determinable, not subject to further performance metrics, and probability of significant revenue reversal is remote.

New Accounting Pronouncements – Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which enhances annual income tax disclosures by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. Effective for the annual period ended December 31, 2025, the Company adopted this ASU retrospectively and restated disclosures for prior periods. The adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The required disclosures under this ASU are included in Note 15 – Income Taxes.

New Accounting Pronouncements – Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40),” which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU requires footnote disclosure about specific types of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement and the total amount of selling expenses on an annual and interim basis. The entity is also required to disclose its definition of selling expenses in annual reporting periods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance and determining the transition method and the timing of adoption.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-use Software.” Under the new standard, an entity will start capitalizing eligible software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The amendments can be applied on a fully prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or a fully retrospective basis. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance and determining the transition method and the timing of adoption.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans,” which requires certain purchased seasoned loans acquired without credit deterioration be accounted for using the gross-up approach in Topic 326 that is currently applied to purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD”) financial assets. Under the gross-up approach, the initial allowance for credit losses is established by increasing the amortized cost basis of the loan rather than recognizing a charge to credit loss expense. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual reporting period in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance and the timing of adoption.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements”, which provides additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods including disclosure of events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance and determining the transition method and the timing of adoption.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
The Company has three reportable segments: Retail Annuities, Institutional Products, and Closed Life and Annuity Blocks. The Company reports, in Corporate and Other, certain activities and items that are not included in these reportable segments, including the results of PPM Holdings, Inc., the holding company of PPM, which manages the majority of the Company’s general account investment portfolio. The reportable segments reflect how the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") views and manages the business. The Company’s CODM function is performed jointly by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. For the Retail Annuities, Closed Life and Annuity Blocks, and Institutional Products segments, the CODM uses segment pretax adjusted operating earnings to allocate resources for each segment, predominantly through the annual budget and forecasting process, and to assess the performance of each segment, primarily by comparing the results of each segment with one another, with planned and forecasted results, and with comparative prior period results. The following is a brief description of the Company’s reportable segments, plus its Corporate and Other segment.

Retail Annuities

The Company’s Retail Annuities segment offers a variety of retirement income and savings products through its diverse suite of products, consisting primarily of variable annuities, registered index-linked annuities ("RILA"), fixed annuities, fixed index annuities, and payout annuities. These products are distributed through various wirehouses, insurance brokers and independent broker-dealers, as well as through banks and financial institutions.

The Company’s variable annuities represent an attractive option for retirees and soon-to-be retirees, providing access to equity market appreciation and add-on benefits, including guaranteed lifetime income. A RILA offers customers access to market returns through market index-linked investment options, subject to a cap, and offers a variety of features designed to modify or limit losses. A fixed index annuity is designed for investors who desire principal protection with the opportunity to participate in capped upside investment returns linked to a reference market index. A fixed annuity is a guaranteed product designed to build wealth without market exposure, through a crediting rate that is likely to be superior to interest rates offered by banks or money market funds.

The financial results of the variable annuity business within the Company’s Retail Annuities segment are largely dependent on the performance of the contract holder account value, which impacts both the level of fees collected and the benefits paid to the contract holder. The financial results of the Company’s fixed annuities, fixed index annuities, RILA and the fixed option on variable annuities, are largely dependent on the Company’s ability to earn a spread between earned investment rates on general account assets and the interest credited to contract holders.

Institutional Products

The Company’s Institutional Products segment consists of traditional guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") and funding agreements. The Company’s GIC products are marketed to defined contribution pension and profit-sharing retirement plans. Funding agreements are marketed to institutional investors, including corporate cash accounts and securities lending funds, as well as money market funds. Funding agreements are also issued in conjunction with the Company's participation in the U.S. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") program.

The financial results of the Company’s institutional products business are primarily dependent on the Company’s ability to earn a spread between earned investment rates on general account assets and the interest credited on GICs and funding agreements.
Closed Life and Annuity Blocks

The Company's Closed Life and Annuity Blocks segment is primarily composed of blocks of business that have been acquired since 2004. This segment includes various protection products, primarily whole life, universal life, variable universal life, and term life insurance products, as well as fixed, fixed index, and payout annuities. The Company historically offered traditional and interest-sensitive life insurance products but discontinued new sales of life insurance products in 2012, as we believe opportunistically acquiring mature blocks of life insurance policies is a more efficient means of diversifying our in-force business than selling new life insurance products.

The profitability of the Company’s Closed Life and Annuity Blocks segment is largely driven by its historical ability to appropriately price its products and purchase appropriately priced blocks of business, as realized through underwriting, expense and net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments, and the ability to earn an assumed rate of return on the assets supporting that business.

Corporate and Other

The Company’s Corporate and Other segment primarily consists of the operations of its investment management subsidiary, PPM, VIEs, and unallocated corporate income and expenses. The Corporate and Other segment also includes intersegment eliminations and consolidation adjustments.

Segment Performance Measurement

Segment operating revenues and pretax adjusted operating earnings are non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are critical to the evaluation of the financial performance of the Company’s segments. The Company uses the same accounting policies and procedures to measure segment pretax adjusted operating earnings as used in its reporting of consolidated net income. Its primary measure is pretax adjusted operating earnings, which is defined as net income reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding certain items that may be highly variable from period to period due to accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP, or that are non-recurring in nature, as well as certain other revenues and expenses that are not considered drivers of underlying performance. Operating revenues and pretax adjusted operating earnings should not be used as a substitute for revenues and net income, respectively, as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Pretax adjusted operating earnings equals net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of the items described in the following numbered paragraphs. These items are excluded from pretax adjusted operating earnings as they may vary significantly from period to period due to near-term market conditions and, therefore, are not directly comparable or reflective of the underlying performance of our business. We believe these exclusions provide investors a better picture of the drivers of our underlying performance.

1. Net Hedging Results: Comprised of: (i) fees attributed to guaranteed benefits; (ii) net gains (losses) on hedging instruments that includes: (a) changes in the fair value of freestanding derivatives, and related commissions and expenses, used to manage the risk associated with market risk benefits and other guaranteed benefit features, excluding earned income from periodic settlements and changes in settlement accruals on cross-currency swaps; and (b) investment income and change in fair value of certain non-derivative assets used to manage the risk associated with market risk benefits and other guaranteed benefit features; and (iii) the movements in reserves, market risk benefits, guaranteed benefit features accounted for as embedded derivative instruments, and related claims and benefit payments (excluding impacts of actuarial assumption updates and model enhancements). We believe excluding these items removes the impact to both revenue and related expenses associated with Net Hedging Results.

2. Amortization of DAC Associated with Non-operating Items at Date of Transition to LDTI: Amortization of the balance of unamortized deferred acquisition costs ("DAC"), at January 1, 2021, the date of transition to current Long Duration Targeted Improvements ("LDTI") accounting guidance, associated with items excluded from pretax adjusted operating earnings prior to transition.

3. Actuarial Assumption Updates and Model Enhancements: The impact on the valuation of market risk benefits and embedded derivatives arising from our annual actuarial assumption updates and model enhancements review.
4. Net Realized Investment Gains and Losses: Comprised of: (i) realized investment gains and losses associated with the periodic sales or disposals of securities, excluding those held within our trading portfolio; (ii) impairments of securities, after adjustment for the non-credit component of the impairment charges; and (iii) foreign currency gain or loss on foreign denominated funding agreements and associated cross-currency swaps.

5. Change in Value of Funds Withheld Embedded Derivative and Net Investment Income on Funds Withheld Assets: Comprised of: (i) the change in fair value of funds withheld embedded derivatives, and (ii) net investment income on funds withheld assets related to funds withheld reinsurance transactions.

6. Other Items: Comprised of: (i) the impact of investments that are consolidated in our financial statements due to U.S. GAAP accounting requirements, such as our investments in collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), but for which the consolidation effects are not consistent with our economic interest or exposure to those entities; (ii) impacts from derivatives not included in Net Hedging Results or Net Realized Investment Gains or Losses (see 1. and 4. above), excluding earned income from periodic settlements and changes in settlement accruals on cross-currency swaps; and (iii) one-time or other non-recurring items.

7. Income Taxes.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]  
Investments Investments
Investments consist primarily of fixed-income securities and loans, principally publicly-traded corporate and government bonds, asset-backed securities and mortgage loans. Asset-backed securities include mortgage-backed and other structured securities. The Company generates the majority of its general account deposits from interest-sensitive individual annuity contracts, life insurance products and institutional products on which it has committed to pay a declared rate of interest. The Company's strategy of investing in fixed-income securities and loans seeks to match the asset yield with the amounts credited to the interest-sensitive liabilities and to earn a stable return on its investments.

Debt Securities

Debt securities consist primarily of bonds, notes, and asset-backed securities. Acquisition discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized into investment income through call or maturity dates using the effective interest method. Discounts and premiums on asset-backed securities are amortized over the estimated redemption period. Certain asset-backed securities for which the Company might not recover substantially all of its recorded investment are accounted for on a prospective basis according to changes in the estimated future cash flows.
Debt securities are generally classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. For debt securities in an unrealized loss position, for which the Company deems an impairment necessary, the amortized cost may be written down to fair value through net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments, or an allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) may be recorded along with a charge to net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments.

Certain debt securities included from consolidation of certain VIEs are carried at fair value under the fair value option with changes in fair value included in net investment income. Other debt securities included from consolidation of certain VIEs are classified as trading securities and are carried at fair value with the changes in fair value included in net investment income.

The following table sets forth the composition of the fair value of debt securities at December 31, 2025 and 2024, classified by rating categories as assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organization (a “rating agency”), National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the “NAIC”) or, if not rated by such organizations, the Company’s investment advisors. The Company uses the second lowest rating by a rating agency when rating agencies' ratings are not equivalent and, for purposes of the table, if not otherwise rated by a rating agency, the NAIC rating of a security is converted to an equivalent rating agency rating. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying value of investments rated by the Company’s consolidated investment advisor totaled $606 million and $417 million, respectively.

Unrealized losses on debt securities that were below investment grade or not rated were approximately 19% and 19% of the aggregate gross unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Corporate securities in an unrealized loss position were diversified across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the industries accounting for the largest percentage of unrealized losses included utility (18% of corporate gross unrealized losses) and healthcare (13%). The largest unrealized loss related to a single corporate obligor was $55 million at December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, the industries accounting for the largest percentage of unrealized losses included utility (18% of corporate gross unrealized losses) and financial services (13%). The largest unrealized loss related to a single corporate obligor was $61 million at December 31, 2024.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amortized cost, ACL, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of debt securities, including trading securities and securities carried at fair value under the fair value option, were as follows (in millions):

The Company defines its exposure to non-agency RMBS as follows:

Prime loan-backed securities that are collateralized by mortgage loans made to the highest rated borrowers;
Alt-A loan-backed securities that are collateralized by mortgage loans made to borrowers who lack credit documentation or necessary requirements to obtain prime borrower rates; and
Subprime loan-backed securities that are collateralized by mortgage loans made to borrowers that have a FICO score of 660 or lower.

Unrealized Losses on Debt Securities

For debt securities in an unrealized loss position, management first assesses whether the Company has the intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the security before the amortized cost basis is fully recovered. If either criterion is met, the amortized cost is written down to fair value through net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments as an impairment. If neither criterion is met, the securities are further evaluated to determine if the cause of the decline in fair value resulted from credit losses or other factors, such as estimates about issuer operations and future earnings potential.

There are inherent uncertainties in assessing the fair values assigned to the Company’s investments. The Company’s reviews of net present value and fair value involve several criteria including economic conditions, credit loss experience, other issuer-specific developments and estimated future cash flows. These assessments are based on the best available information at the time. Factors such as market liquidity, the widening of bid/ask spreads and a change in the cash flow assumptions can contribute to future price volatility. If actual experience differs negatively from the assumptions and other considerations used in the Consolidated Financial Statements, unrealized losses currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) may be recognized in the consolidated income statements in future periods.

The Company currently has no intent to sell securities with unrealized losses considered to be temporary until they mature or recover in value and believes that it has the ability to do so. However, if the specific facts and circumstances surrounding an individual security, or the outlook for its industry sector change, the Company may sell the security prior to its maturity or recovery and realize a loss.
When all, or a portion, of a security is deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion is written off with an adjustment to amortized cost and a corresponding reduction to the allowance for credit losses.

Accrued interest receivables are presented separate from the amortized cost basis of debt securities. Accrued interest receivables that are determined to be uncollectible are written off with a corresponding reduction to net investment income. Accrued interest of $5 million and $1 million was written off during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(1) Certain securities contain multiple lots and fit the criteria of both aging groups.
Debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2025 did not require an impairment recognized in earnings as (i) the Company did not intend to sell these debt securities, (ii) it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, and (iii) the difference in the fair value compared to the amortized cost was due to factors other than credit loss. Based upon this evaluation, the Company believes it has the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash from normal operations to meet cash requirements with a reasonable margin of safety without requiring the sale of these securities.

As of December 31, 2025, unrealized losses associated with debt securities are primarily due to widening credit spreads or rising risk-free rates since purchase. As described below, the Company performed analyses of the financial performance of the underlying issues in an unrealized loss position and believes that recovery of the entire amortized cost of each such security is expected.

Evaluation of Available-for-Sale Debt Securities for Credit Loss

The credit loss evaluation for a debt security may consider one or more of the following:

the extent to which the fair value is below amortized cost;
changes in ratings;
whether a significant covenant has been breached; assessments of the issuer’s ability to make scheduled debt payments based upon judgments related to its current and projected financial position, including whether it has filed or indicated a possibility of filing for bankruptcy, has missed or announced it intends to miss a scheduled debt service payment, or has experienced a specific material adverse change that may impair its creditworthiness;
the existence of, and realizable value of, any collateral backing the obligations;
the macro-economic and micro-economic outlooks for the issuer and its industry;
for asset-backed securities: includes an assessment of future estimated cash flows under expected and stress case scenarios to identify potential shortfalls in contractual payments. These estimated cash flows are developed using available performance indicators from the underlying assets, such as current and projected default or delinquency rates, levels of credit enhancement, current subordination levels, vintage, expected loss severity and other relevant characteristics; and
for mortgage-backed securities, credit losses are assessed using a cash flow model that estimates the cash flows on the underlying mortgages, using the security-specific collateral characteristics and transaction structure. The model estimates cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans and distributes those cash flows to various tranches of securities based on the transaction structure and any existing subordination and credit enhancements. The cash flow model incorporates actual cash flows on the mortgage-backed securities through the current period and then projects the remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions, including prepayment timing, default rates and loss severity. Specifically, for prime and Alt-A RMBS, the assumed default percentage is dependent on the severity of delinquency status, with foreclosures and real estate owned receiving higher rates, but also includes the currently performing loans.

These estimates reflect a combination of data derived by third parties and internally developed assumptions. Where possible, this data is benchmarked against other third-party sources. In addition, these estimates are extrapolated along a default timing curve to estimate the total lifetime pool default rate. When a credit loss is determined to exist and the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost of the security, an allowance for credit loss is recorded along with a charge to net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than amortized cost. Any remaining unrealized loss after recording the allowance for credit loss is the non-credit amount and is recorded to other comprehensive income.

The allowance for credit loss for specific debt securities may be increased or reversed in subsequent periods due to changes in the assessment of the present value of cash flows that are expected to be collected. Any changes to the allowance for credit loss are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense in net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments.
The roll-forward of the allowance for credit loss for available-for-sale securities by sector is as follows (in millions):

Net gains (losses) on funds withheld reinsurance treaties represents income (loss) from the sale of investments held in segregated funds withheld accounts in support of reinsurance agreements for which Jackson retains legal ownership of the underlying investments. These gains (losses) are increased or decreased by:

changes in the embedded derivative liability related to the Athene Life Re Ltd. ("Athene") funds withheld coinsurance agreement (the “Athene Reinsurance Transaction”),
changes in the related funds withheld payable, as all economic performance of the investments held in the segregated accounts inure to the benefit of the reinsurers under the respective reinsurance agreements, and
amortization of the difference between book value and fair value of the investments as of the effective date of the reinsurance agreements.

The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $1,656 million, $2,921 million and $5,529 million, which was approximately 95%, 94% and 97% of book value, respectively.

Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale debt securities were $2.9 billion, $4.3 billion and $6.8 billion during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")

The Company’s involvement with VIEs is primarily to invest in assets that gain exposure to a broadly diversified portfolio of asset classes. A VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The Company performs ongoing qualitative assessments of variable interests in VIEs to determine whether it has a controlling financial interest and would therefore be considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If the Company determines it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it consolidates the assets and liabilities of the VIE in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company concluded that the following entities are VIEs and that the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has both the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In each case, the Company’s exposure to loss is limited to the capital invested plus, in the cases of the limited liability companies ("LLCs") and the Private Equity Funds, unfunded capital commitments. Creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company:

The Company funds affiliated LLCs to facilitate the issuance of collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"). The Company's policy is to record the consolidation of VIEs on a one-month lag due to the timing of when information is available from the VIE.

Private Equity Funds VII – IX and Strategic Opportunity Fund I are limited partnership structures that invest the ownership capital in portfolios of various other limited partnership structures. Private Equity Fund IX was funded in August 2025 and Strategic Opportunity Fund I was funded in June 2025.

PPM created and managed institutional share class mutual funds, where Jackson seeded new funds, or new share classes within a fund, when deemed necessary to develop the requisite track record prior to allowing investment by external parties. These mutual funds ceased operations during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Unconsolidated VIEs

The Company has concluded the following entities are VIEs but does not consolidate them. Based on analysis of the limited partnerships ("LPs"), LLCs and the mutual funds, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because the Company lacks the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's performance or lacks the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entities, or both.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s investments in certain LPs and LLCs are recognized in other invested assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unfunded capital commitments for these investments are detailed in Note 16 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s exposure to loss was limited to $2,709 million and $2,637 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing the aggregate capital invested and unfunded capital commitments related to the LPs and LLCs at those dates. The capital invested in an LP or LLC equals the original capital contributed, increased for additional capital contributed after the initial investment, and reduced for any returns of capital from the LP or LLC. LPs and LLCs are carried at fair value.

The Company's investments in certain mutual funds are recognized in equity securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $21 million and $19 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these mutual funds is limited to the amortized cost for these investments.

The Company makes investments in structured debt securities issued by VIEs for which it is not the manager. These structured debt securities include RMBS, Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities ("CMBS"), and Asset-Backed Securities ("ABS"). The Company does not consolidate the securitization trusts utilized in these transactions because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these securitization trusts. The Company does not consider its continuing involvement with these VIEs to be significant because it either invests in securities issued by the VIE and was not involved in the design of the VIE or no transfers have occurred between the Company and the VIE. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these structured debt securities is limited to the amortized cost of these investments. The Company does not have any further contractual obligations to the VIE. The Company recognizes the variable interest in these VIEs at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Commercial and Residential Mortgage Loans

Commercial and residential mortgage loans are generally carried at the aggregate unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any applicable unamortized discount or premium, or ACL. Acquisition discounts and premiums on mortgage loans are amortized into investment income through maturity dates using the effective interest method. Interest income is accrued on the principal balance of the loan based on the loan’s contractual interest rate. Interest income and amortization of premiums and discounts are reported in net investment income along with prepayment fees and mortgage loan fees, which are recorded as incurred.

At December 31, 2025, commercial mortgage loans were collateralized by properties located in 34 states, the District of Columbia, and Europe, while residential mortgage loans were collateralized by properties located in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Mexico, and Europe.

Evaluation for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans

The Company reviews mortgage loans that are not carried at fair value under the fair value option on a quarterly basis to estimate the ACL with changes in the ACL recorded in net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments. Apart from an ACL recorded on individual mortgage loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company records an ACL on the pool of mortgage loans based on lifetime expected credit losses. The Company utilizes a third-party forecasting model to estimate lifetime expected credit losses at a loan level for mortgage loans. The model forecasts net operating income and property values for the economic scenario selected. The debt service coverage ratios (“DSCR”) and loan to values (“LTV”) are calculated over the forecastable period by comparing the projected net operating income and property valuations to the loan payment and principal amounts of each loan. The model utilizes historical mortgage loan performance based on DSCRs and LTV to derive probability of default and expected losses based on the economic scenario that is similar to the Company’s expectations of economic factors such as unemployment, gross domestic product growth, and interest rates. The Company determined the forecastable period to be reasonable and supportable for a period of two years beyond the end of the reporting period. Over the following one-year period, the model reverts to the historical performance of the portfolio for the remainder of the contractual term of the loans. In cases where the Company does not have an appropriate length of historical performance, the relevant historical rate from an index or the lifetime expected credit loss calculated from the model may be used.

Unfunded commitments are included in the model and an ACL is determined accordingly. Credit loss estimates are pooled by property type and the Company does not include accrued interest in the determination of ACL.

For individual loans or for types of loans for which the third-party model is deemed not suitable, the Company utilizes relevant current market data, industry data, and publicly available historical loss rates to calculate an estimate of the lifetime expected credit loss.

Mortgage loans on real estate deemed uncollectible are charged against the ACL, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL, limited to the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Mortgage loans on real estate are presented net of the ACL on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Equity Securities

Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks and mutual funds. All equity securities are carried at fair value with changes in value included in net investment income.

Policy Loans

Policy loans are loans the Company issues to contract holders that use the cash surrender value of their life insurance policy or annuity contract as collateral. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, $3.5 billion and $3.5 billion of these loans were carried at fair value, which the Company believes is equal to unpaid principal balances, plus accrued investment income. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $0.9 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, of policy loans not held as collateral for reinsurance, which were carried at the unpaid principal balances.

Other Invested Assets

Other invested assets primarily include investments in:

Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLBI") capital stock, which is carried at cost and adjusted for any impairment. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, FHLB capital stock had a carrying value of $119 million and $127 million, respectively;

limited partnerships (“LPs”), which are carried at values determined by using the proportion of the Company’s investment in each fund (Net Asset Value (“NAV”) equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value, and generally are recorded on a three-month lag, with changes in value included in net investment income. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, investments in LPs had carrying values of $2.8 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively; and

real estate, which is carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value and real estate occupied by the Company is carried at depreciated cost. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, real estate totaling $230 million and $232 million, respectively, included foreclosed properties with a book value of $20 million and $14 million, respectively.

Securities Lending

The Company has entered into securities lending agreements with agent banks whereby blocks of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the estimated fair value of loaned securities was $34 million and $13 million, respectively. The agreements require a minimum of 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities to be held as collateral, calculated daily. To further minimize the credit risks related to these programs, the financial condition of counterparties is monitored on a regular basis. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, cash collateral received in the amount of $35 million and $14 million, respectively, was invested by the agent banks and included in cash and cash equivalents of the Company. A securities lending payable for the overnight and continuous loans is included in liabilities in the amount of cash collateral received. Securities lending transactions are used to generate income. Income and expenses associated with these transactions are reported as net investment income.

Repurchase Agreements

The Company routinely enters into repurchase agreements whereby the Company agrees to sell and repurchase securities. These agreements are accounted for as financing transactions, with the assets and associated liabilities included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the outstanding repurchase agreement balance was $1.0 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, having maturities within 30 days, and was included within repurchase agreements and securities lending payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These repurchase agreements were collateralized with U.S. Treasury securities and corporate securities of $1.0 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
In the event of a decline in the fair value of the pledged collateral under these agreements, the Company may be required to transfer cash or additional securities as pledged collateral. Interest expense totaled $45 million, $69 million and $45 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included within net investment income.

Collateral Upgrade Transactions

During the first quarter of 2024, Jackson executed certain paired repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions totaling $1.5 billion pursuant to master repurchase agreements with participating bank counterparties. Under these transactions, the Company lends securities (e.g., corporate debt securities) to bank counterparties in exchange for U.S. Treasury securities that the Company then uses to provide as collateral. The paired repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions are settled on a net basis. As a result, there was no cash exchanged at initiation of these agreements. The paired transactions are reported net within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These transactions are evergreen and require at least 150-days' notice prior to termination.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of the U.S. treasuries received was $1.5 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, collateralized with corporate securities with a fair value of $1.6 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. Subsequently, the Company provided these U.S. Treasury securities as collateral for derivative trades, and they are included as part of the derivative collateral disclosures.

In the event of a decline in the fair value of the pledged collateral under these agreements, the Company may be required to transfer cash or additional securities as pledged collateral. Gross interest income of $66 million, $71 million, and nil and gross interest expense of $75 million, $79 million, and nil for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are included within net investment income.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments Derivative Instruments
The Company utilizes freestanding and embedded derivatives as follows:

Freestanding Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into financial derivative transactions, including swaps, put-swaptions, futures, forwards, and options to reduce and manage business risks. These transactions manage the risk of a change in the value, yield, price, cash flows, foreign currency, credit quality, or degree of exposure with respect to assets, liabilities or future cash flows that the Company has acquired or incurred. The Company does not account for freestanding derivatives as either fair value or cash flow hedges as might be permitted if specific hedging documentation requirements were followed. As a result, freestanding derivatives are carried at fair value on the balance sheet with settlements and changes in fair value recorded in net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company began utilizing derivative instruments to economically hedge the equity market exposure related to the Company’s non-qualified voluntary deferred compensation plans. These derivative instruments are not designated as accounting hedges and are carried at fair value with gains or losses reported as a component of operating costs and other expenses, net of deferrals in the Consolidated Income Statements. See Note 20 - Benefit Plans of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on our non-qualified deferred compensation plans.

With respect to the Company’s interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and cross-currency swaps, the Company records the income related to periodic interest payment settlements within net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments. Although the Company does not account for these as cash flow hedges, the income from these settlements is considered operating income due to the cash settlement nature and is reported, as such, within the Company’s segment related disclosure within pretax adjusted operating earnings.

The Company manages the potential credit exposure for over-the-counter derivative contracts through evaluation of the counterparty credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties, however, it does not anticipate nonperformance. There were no charges due to nonperformance by derivative counterparties in 2025, 2024 or 2023.
Embedded Derivatives—Product Liabilities

Certain product features, including the index-linked crediting option offered in connection with fixed index annuities and RILAs issued by the Company, are classified as embedded derivatives. These embedded derivatives are separated for accounting purposes and are carried at fair value. These embedded derivatives are reported within other contract holder funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets consistent with the host contract. The results from changes in value of these embedded derivatives are reported in net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments in the Consolidated Income Statements.

See Note 10 - Other Contract Holder Funds of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the accounting policies for these embedded derivatives within fixed index and registered index-linked annuities.

Embedded Derivatives—Funds Withheld Reinsurance Agreements

The Company has recorded an embedded derivative liability related to the Athene coinsurance agreement (the “Athene Embedded Derivative”) in accordance with FASB ASC 815-15-55-107 and 108, “Derivatives and Hedging Case B: Reinsurer’s Receivable Arising from a Modified Coinsurance Arrangement” as Jackson’s obligation under the Reinsurance Agreement is based on the total return of investments in a segregated funds withheld account rather than Jackson’s own creditworthiness. As the Reinsurance Agreement transfers the economics of the investments in the segregated funds withheld account to Athene, it will receive an investment return equivalent to owning the underlying assets. At inception of the Reinsurance Agreement, the Athene Embedded Derivative was valued at zero. Additionally, the inception fair value of the investments in the segregated funds withheld account differed from their book value and, accordingly, the amortization of this difference is reported in net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments in the Consolidated Income Statements, while the investments are held. Subsequent to the effective date of the Reinsurance Agreement, the Athene Embedded Derivative is measured at fair value with changes reported in net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments in the Consolidated Income Statements. The Athene Embedded Derivative Liability is included in funds withheld payable under reinsurance treaties in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See “Athene Reinsurance” in Note 8 - Reinsurance of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Athene Reinsurance Transaction.

All the Company’s trade agreements for freestanding, over-the-counter derivatives, contain credit downgrade provisions that allow a party to assign or terminate derivative transactions if the counterparty’s credit rating declines below an established limit.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of the Company’s net non-cleared, over-the-counter derivative assets by counterparty were $151 million and $203 million, respectively, and held collateral was $130 million and $252 million, respectively, related to these agreements.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of the Company’s net non-cleared, over-the-counter derivative liabilities by counterparty were $237 million and $267 million, respectively, and provided collateral was $295 million and $302 million, respectively, related to these agreements.

If all of the downgrade provisions had been triggered at December 31, 2025 and 2024, in aggregate, the Company would have had to disburse nil and $49 million, respectively, and would have been allowed to claim $79 million and $35 million, respectively.
The Company pledged collateral of $1,403 million and $1,780 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for initial margin related to uncleared margin for over-the-counter derivatives and exchange-traded futures. Variation margin on exchange traded futures is settled through the netting of cash paid/received for variation margin against the fair value of the trades.

The Company purchases equity options for which option premium payments are deferred (deferred premium options). The deferred premiums, along with interest incurred thereon, are payable at contract termination. During 2025, the Company deferred option premiums totaling $389 million. The purchase of these options is a non-cash transaction. Upon maturity, payment of the deferred premium is reported as a cash flow from financing activities.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements are subject to master netting arrangements and collateral arrangements. A master netting arrangement with a counterparty creates a right of offset for amounts due to and due from that same counterparty that is enforceable in the event of a default or bankruptcy. The Company recognizes amounts subject to master netting arrangements on a gross basis within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. All financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be classified into one of the following categories:

Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities and exchange traded equity securities and derivative instruments.
Level 2
Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities. Most debt securities that are model priced using observable inputs are classified within Level 2. Also included are freestanding and embedded derivative instruments that are priced using models with observable market inputs.
Level 3
Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). Embedded derivatives that are valued using unobservable inputs are included in Level 3. Because Level 3 fair values, by their nature, contain unobservable market inputs, considerable judgment may be used to determine the Level 3 fair values. Level 3 fair values represent the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a current market exchange absent actual market exchanges.

In many situations, inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these situations, the Company determines the level in which the fair value falls based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. As a result, both observable and unobservable inputs may be used in the determination of fair values that the Company has classified within Level 3.

The Company determines the fair values of certain financial assets and liabilities based on quoted market prices, where available. The Company may also determine fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate. When appropriate, fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the Company’s credit standing, liquidity and risk margins on unobservable inputs.

Where quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data, as well as the best information about the individual financial instrument. At times, illiquid market conditions may result in inactive markets for certain of the Company’s financial instruments. In such instances, there may be no or limited observable market data for these assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates for financial instruments deemed to be in an illiquid market are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, liquidity discounts, currency, credit and interest rate risks, loss experience and other factors. These fair values are estimates and involve considerable uncertainty and variability as a result of the inputs selected and may differ materially from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. As a result of market inactivity, such calculated fair value estimates may not be realizable in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument. In addition, changes in the underlying assumptions used in the fair value measurement technique could significantly affect these fair value estimates.

The following is a discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values of the financial instruments measured on a recurring basis reported in the following tables.

Debt and Equity Securities

The fair values for debt and equity securities are determined using information available from independent pricing services, broker-dealer quotes, or internally derived estimates. Priority is given to publicly available prices from independent sources, when available. Securities for which the independent pricing service does not provide a quotation are either submitted to independent broker-dealers for prices or priced internally. Typical inputs used by these three pricing methods include reported trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, liquidity premiums and/or estimated cash flows based on default and prepayment assumptions.

Independent pricing services: As a result of typical trading volumes and the lack of specific quoted market prices for most debt securities, independent pricing services will normally derive the security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities, making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information as outlined above. If there are no recently reported trades, the independent pricing services and broker-dealers may use matrix or pricing model processes to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at relevant market rates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews the independent pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs and evaluates the various types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy distribution based upon trading activity and the observability of inputs. Based on the results of this evaluation, each price is classified into Level 1, 2, or 3. Most prices provided by independent pricing services are classified into Level 2 due to their use of market observable inputs.

Broker-dealer quotes: Certain securities are priced using broker-dealer quotes, which may utilize proprietary inputs and models. The majority of these quotes are non-binding. These securities are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Internally derived estimates: These fair value estimates may incorporate Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as defined below, and are generally derived using expected future cash flows, discounted at market interest rates available from market sources based on the credit quality and duration of the instrument. For securities that may not be reliably priced using these internally developed pricing models, a fair value may be estimated using indicative market prices. These prices are indicative of an exit price, but the assumptions used to establish the fair value may not be observable or corroborated by market observable information and, therefore, represent Level 3 inputs.

For those securities that were internally valued at December 31, 2025 and 2024, the pricing model used by the Company utilizes current spread levels of similarly rated securities to determine the market discount rate for the security. Furthermore, appropriate risk premiums for illiquidity and non-performance are incorporated in the discount rate. Cash flows, as estimated by the Company using issuer-specific default statistics and prepayment assumptions, are discounted to determine an estimated fair value. 

The Company performs an analysis on the prices and credit spreads received from third parties to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value. This process involves quantitative and qualitative analysis and is overseen by investment and accounting professionals. Examples of procedures performed include initial and ongoing review of third-party pricing service methodologies, review of pricing statistics and trends, back testing recent trades and monitoring of trading volumes. In addition, the Company considers whether prices received from independent broker-dealers represent a reasonable estimate of fair value using internal and external cash flow models, which are developed based on spreads and, when available, market indices. As a result of this analysis, if the Company determines there is a more appropriate fair value based upon the available market data, the price received from the third party may be adjusted accordingly.

Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment assumptions believed to be relevant for the underlying collateral. Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates.

Limited Partnerships

Fair values for limited partnership interests, which are included in other invested assets, are generally determined using the proportion of the Company’s investment in the value of the net assets of each fund (“NAV equivalent”) as a practical expedient for fair value, and generally, are recorded on a three-month lag. No adjustments to these amounts were deemed necessary at December 31, 2025 and 2024. As a result of using that practical expedient, limited partnership interests are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s limited partnership interests are not redeemable, and distributions received are generally the result of liquidation of the underlying assets of the partnerships. The Company generally has the ability under the partnership agreements to sell its interest to another limited partner with the prior written consent of the general partner. In cases when the Company expects to sell the limited partnership interest, the estimated sales price is used to determine the fair value rather than the practical expedient. Limited partnership interests expected to be sold are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
In cases when a limited partnership’s financial statements are unavailable and a NAV equivalent is not available or practical, the fair value may be based on an internally developed model or provided by the general partner as determined using private transactions, information obtained from the primary co-investor or underlying company, or financial metrics provided by the lead sponsor. These investments are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Policy Loans

Policy loans are funds provided to policyholders in return for a claim on their policies' values. They are repaid upon repayment, death or surrender, and there is only one market price at which the loans can be settled – the then current carrying value. The loans are limited to, and fully collateralized by, the cash surrender value of the underlying policy. The nature of policy loans is to have a negligible default risk. Policy loans do not have a stated maturity, and the balances and accrued interest are repaid either by the policyholder or with proceeds from the policy. Due to the collateralized nature of policy loans and unpredictable timing of payments, the Company believes the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value. The reinsurance related component of policy loans at fair value under the fair value option has been classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Freestanding Derivative Instruments

Freestanding derivative instruments are reported at fair value, which reflects the estimated amounts, net of payment accruals, that the Company would receive or pay upon sale or termination of the contracts at the reporting date. Changes in fair value are included in net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments. Freestanding derivatives priced using third-party pricing services incorporate inputs that are observable in the market. Inputs used to value derivatives include interest rate swap curves, credit spreads, interest rates, counterparty credit risk, equity volatility and equity index levels.

Freestanding derivative instruments classified as:
Level 1 include futures, which are traded on active exchanges.
Level 2 include interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, credit default swaps, total return swaps, bond forwards, put-swaptions and certain equity index call and put options. These derivative valuations are determined by third-party pricing services using pricing models with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 include interest rate contingent options that are valued by third-party pricing services utilizing significant unobservable inputs.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily include money market instruments and bank deposits. Cash equivalents also include all highly liquid securities and other investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Certain money market instruments are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1.

Funds Withheld Payable Under Reinsurance Treaties

The funds withheld payable under reinsurance treaties includes:

The funds withheld payable that is held at fair value under the fair value option: the fair value is equal to the fair value of the assets held as collateral, which primarily consists of policy loans using industry standard valuation techniques.

The funds withheld embedded derivative: the fair value is determined based upon a total return swap technique referencing the fair value of the investments held under the reinsurance contract and requires certain significant unobservable inputs.

Both are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Separate Account Assets

Separate account assets are comprised of investments in mutual funds that transact regularly, but do not trade in active markets as they are not publicly available and are categorized as Level 2 assets.

Market Risk Benefits

Our market risk benefits ("MRB") assets and MRB liabilities are reported separately on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Increases to an asset or decreases to a liability are described as favorable changes to fair value. Changes in fair value are reported in Market risk benefits (gains) losses, net on the Consolidated Income Statements. However, the change in fair value related to our own non-performance risk is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income ("OCI") and is reported in Change in non-performance on market risk benefits, net of tax expense (benefit) on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Variable Annuities

Variable annuity contracts issued by the Company may include various guaranteed minimum death, withdrawal, income and accumulation benefits, which are classified as MRBs and measured at fair value.

The fair value of variable annuity guaranteed benefit features classified as MRBs, which have explicit fees, are measured using the attributed fee method as the difference between the present value of projected future liabilities and the present value of projected attributed fees. At the inception of the contract, the Company attributes to the MRB a portion of total fees expected to be assessed against the contract holder's account value to offset the projected claims over the lifetime of the contract. The attributed fee is expressed as a percentage of total projected future fees at inception of the contract. This percentage of total projected fees is considered a fixed term of the MRB feature and is held static over the life of the contract. As the Company may issue contracts that have projected future liabilities greater than the projected future guaranteed benefit fees at issue, the Company may also attribute mortality and expense charges when performing this calculation. The percentage of guaranteed benefit fees and the percentage of mortality and expense charges may not exceed 100% of the total projected fees as of contract inception. In subsequent valuations, both the present value of future projected liabilities and the present value of projected attributed fees are remeasured based on current market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions.

The Company has ceded the guaranteed minimum income benefit (“GMIB”) features elected on certain annuity contracts to an unrelated party. The GMIBs ceded under this reinsurance treaty are classified as a MRB in their entirety. The reinsurance contract is measured at fair value and reported in Reinsurance recoverable on market risk benefits. Changes in fair value are recorded in Market risk benefits (gains) losses, net. Due to the inability to economically reinsure or hedge new issues of the GMIB, the Company discontinued offering the benefit in 2009.

Fair values for MRBs related to variable annuities, including the contract reinsuring GMIB features, are calculated using internally developed models because active, observable markets do not exist for those guaranteed benefits.

The fair value calculation is based on the present value of future cash flows comprised of future expected benefit payments, less future attributed rider fees, over the lives of the contracts. Estimating these cash flows requires numerous estimates and subjective judgments related to capital market inputs, as well as actuarially determined assumptions related to expectations concerning policyholder behavior. Capital market inputs include expected market rates of return, market volatility, correlations of market index returns to fund returns, and discount rates, which include an adjustment for non-performance risk. The more significant actuarial assumptions include benefit utilization by policyholders, lapse, mortality, and withdrawal rates. Best estimate assumptions plus risk margins are used as applicable.
At each valuation date, the fair value calculation reflects expected returns based on treasury rates as of that date to determine the value of expected future cash flows produced in a stochastic process. Volatility assumptions are based on available market data for implied market volatility for durations up to 5 years, grading to a historical volatility level by year 10, where such long-term historical volatility levels contain an explicit risk margin. Non-performance risk is incorporated into the calculation through the adjustment of the risk-free rate curve based on credit spreads for debt and debt-like instruments issued by the Company or its insurance operating subsidiaries, adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the financial strength ratings of the issuing insurance subsidiaries. Risk margins are also incorporated into the model assumptions, particularly for policyholder behavior. Estimates of future policyholder behavior are subjective and are based primarily on the Company’s experience.

As markets change, mature and evolve and actual policyholder behavior emerges, management evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions for the fair value model.

The use of the models and assumptions described above requires a significant amount of judgment. Management believes this results in an amount that the Company would be required to transfer for a liability, or receive for an asset, to or from a willing buyer or seller, if one existed, for those market participants to assume the risks associated with the guaranteed benefits and the related reinsurance. However, the ultimate settlement amount of the asset or liability, which is currently unknown, could likely be significantly different than this fair value.

Fixed Index Annuities and RILA

Our FIA and RILA contracts may be issued with features that guarantee benefits that are payable upon death (GMDB) or upon depletion of funds (GMWB). These features are classified as MRBs and measured at fair value.

Where the guaranteed benefit features have explicit fees, the fair value of the MRB is measured as the difference between the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits and the present value of projected attributed fees (the attributed fee method). At inception of the contract, the Company attributes a percentage of total projected future fees expected to be assessed against the policyholder to offset the projected future guaranteed benefits over the lifetime of the contract. Where the projected attributed fees are sufficient to offset the projected guaranteed benefits at issue, the MRB has an initial fair value of zero resulting in no gain or loss on issuance of the contract. If the projected attributed fees are insufficient to offset the projected guaranteed benefits at issue, an MRB liability is recognized and the value of the MRB is deducted from the host contract liability resulting in no gain or loss on issuance of the contract.

If the guaranteed benefits do not have explicit fees, the fair value of the MRB is measured as the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. At inception, the initial value of the MRB is deducted from the host contract liability resulting in no gain or loss on issuance of the contract.

See Note 12 - Market Risk Benefits of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding MRBs.

Indexed-Linked Crediting Derivative Feature in Fixed Index Annuities and RILA

The fair value of the index-linked crediting derivative feature embedded in fixed index annuities and RILA, included in Annuity Reserves in the above tables, is calculated using the closed form Black-Scholes Option Pricing model or Monte Carlo simulations, as appropriate for the type of option. The calculation incorporates such factors as the volatility of returns, the level of interest rates and the time remaining until the option expires. Additionally, although not a significant input, assumed withdrawal rates are used to estimate the expected volume of embedded options that will be realized by policyholders.

Notes Issued by Consolidated VIEs

These notes are issued by CLOs and are carried at fair value under the fair value option based on the fair values of corresponding fixed maturity collateral. The CLO liabilities are also reduced by the fair value of the beneficial interest the Company retains in the CLO and the carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent compensation for services. As the notes are valued based on the reference collateral, they are classified as Level 2.
Fair Value Option

The Company elected the fair value option for:
Debt securities reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as debt securities related to:
certain consolidated investments totaling $2,698 million and $2,429 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
certain debt securities the Company began purchasing during the third quarter of 2024, for purposes of mitigating components of exposure to changes in the value of certain market risk benefits. The Company elected the fair value option on these debt securities, with changes in fair value reflected in net income, to align with the corresponding changes in the value of the market risk benefits recognized through net income. These debt securities totaled $766 million and $501 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Certain funds withheld assets, which are held as collateral for reinsurance, totaling $3,867 million and $4,054 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as discussed above, and include mortgage loans as discussed below.

Certain mortgage loans held under the funds withheld reinsurance agreement with Athene. The fair value option was elected for these mortgage loans, purchased or funded after December 31, 2021, to mitigate inconsistency in earnings that would otherwise result between these mortgage loan assets and the funds withheld liability, including the associated embedded derivative, and are valued using third-party pricing services. Changes in fair value are reflected in net investment income on the Consolidated Income Statements.

The fair value and aggregate contractual principal for mortgage loans where the fair value option was elected after December 31, 2021, were as follows (in millions):

December 31,
20252024
Fair value$324 $449 
Aggregate contractual principal330 464 

As of December 31, 2025, no loans in good standing for which the fair value option was elected were in non-accrual status, and no loans were more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest.

Notes issued by consolidated VIEs totaling $2,578 million and $2,343 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Income and changes in unrealized gains and losses on other assets for which the Company has elected the fair value option are immaterial to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1) Mortality rates vary by attained age, guaranteed benefit election, and duration. The range displayed reflects ages from the minimum issue age for the benefit through age 95, which corresponds to the typical maturity age. A mortality improvement assumption is also applied.
(2) Base lapse rates vary by contract-level factors, such as product type, surrender charge schedule and guaranteed benefits election. Lapse rates are further adjusted based on the degree to which a guaranteed benefit is in-the-money, with lower lapse applying when benefits are more in-the-money. Lapse rates are also adjusted to reflect lower lapse expectations when guaranteed benefits are utilized.
(3 The utilization rate represents the expected percentage of contracts that will utilize the benefit through annuitization (GMIB) or commencement of withdrawals (GMWB). Utilization may vary by benefit type, attained age, duration, tax qualification status, benefit provision, and degree to which the guaranteed benefit is in-the-money.
(4) The withdrawal rate represents the percentage of annual withdrawal assumed relative to the maximum allowable withdrawal amount under the free partial withdrawal provision or the GMWB, as applicable. Free partial withdrawal rates vary based on the product type, duration, and GMAB election. Withdrawal rates on contracts with a GMWB vary based on attained age, tax qualification status, GMWB type and GMWB benefit provisions.
(5) Non-performance risk adjustment is applied as a spread over the risk-free rate to determine the rate used to discount the related cash flows and varies by projection year.
(6) Long-term equity volatility represents the equity volatility beyond the period for which observable equity volatilities are available.

Sensitivity to Changes in Unobservable Inputs

The following is a general description of sensitivities of significant unobservable inputs and their impact on the fair value measurement for the assets and liabilities reflected in the tables above.

Investments: At December 31, 2025 and 2024, $117 million and $121 million, respectively, of debt securities, equity securities, and limited partnerships are fair valued using techniques incorporating unobservable inputs and are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For these assets, their unobservable inputs and ranges of possible inputs do not materially affect their fair valuations and have been excluded from the quantitative information in the tables above.

Policy Loans: Policy loans that support funds withheld reinsurance agreements that are held at fair value under the fair value option on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are excluded from the tables above. These policy loans do not have a stated maturity and the balances, plus accrued investment income, are repaid either by the policyholder or with proceeds from the policy. Due to the collateralized nature of policy loans and unpredictable timing of payments, the Company believes the carrying value of policy loans, which includes accrued investment income, approximates fair value and is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
Funds Withheld Payable:
Under the Reassure America Life Insurance Company reinsurance treaties, fair value is determined based upon the fair value of the funds withheld investments held by the Company and is excluded from the tables above.
Under the Athene reinsurance treaty, the calculation includes the Athene embedded derivative that is measured at fair value. The valuation of the embedded derivative utilizes a total return swap technique that incorporates the fair value of the invested assets supporting the reinsurance agreement as a component of the valuation and is excluded from the table above.

As a result, these valuations require certain significant inputs that are generally not observable and, accordingly, the valuation is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

GMIB reinsurance recoverable: fair value calculation is based on the present value of future cash flows comprised of future expected reinsurance benefit receipts, less future attributed premium payments to reinsurers, over the lives of the contracts. Estimating these cash flows requires actuarially determined assumptions related to expectations concerning policyholder behavior and long-term market volatility. The more significant policyholder behavior actuarial assumptions include benefit utilization, lapse, and mortality.

MRB asset and liability: fair value calculation is based on the present value of future cash flows comprised of future expected benefit payments, less future attributed fees (if applicable), over the lives of the contracts. Estimating these cash flows requires numerous estimates and subjective judgments related to capital market inputs, as well as actuarially determined assumptions related to expectations concerning policyholder behavior. The more significant actuarial assumptions include benefit utilization by policyholders, lapse, mortality, and withdrawal rates. Best estimate assumptions plus risk margins are used as applicable.
The tables below provide roll-forwards for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 of the financial instruments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are used in the fair value measurement. Gains and losses in the tables below include changes in fair value due partly to observable and unobservable factors. The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage the risk associated with certain assets and liabilities. However, the derivative instruments hedging the related risks may not be classified within the same fair value hierarchy level as the associated assets and liabilities. Therefore, the impact of the derivative instruments reported in Level 3 may vary significantly from the total income effect of the hedged instruments.

The following is a discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values of the financial instruments that are not reported at fair value reported in the table above:

Mortgage Loans: Fair values are generally determined by discounting expected future cash flows at current market interest rates, inclusive of a credit spread, for similar quality loans. For loans whose value is dependent on the underlying property, fair value is the estimated value of the collateral. Certain characteristics considered significant in determining the spread or collateral value may be based on internally developed estimates. As a result, these investments have been classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage loans held under a funds withheld reinsurance agreement are valued using third-party pricing services, which may use economic inputs, geographical information, and property specific assumptions in deriving the fair value price. The Company reviews the valuations from these pricing providers to ensure they are reasonable. Due to lack of observable inputs, these investments have been classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Policy Loans: As described under “Policy Loans” in Note 4 – Investments of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, due to the collateralized nature of policy loans and unpredictable timing of payments, the Company believes the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value. The non-reinsurance related component of policy loans has been classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

FHLBI Capital Stock: FHLBI capital stock, which is included in other invested assets, can only be sold to FHLBI at a constant price of $100 per share. Due to the lack of valuation uncertainty, the investment has been classified as Level 1.

Other Contract Holder Funds: Fair values for immediate annuities without mortality features are derived by discounting the future estimated cash flows using current market interest rates for similar maturities. Fair values for deferred annuities, including the fixed option on variable annuities, fixed annuities, fixed index annuities and RILAs, are determined using projected future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

Fair values for guaranteed investment contracts and funding agreements are based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

Funds Withheld Payable Under Reinsurance Treaties: The fair value of the funds withheld payable is equal to the fair value of the assets held as collateral, which primarily consists of bonds, mortgages, limited partnerships, and cash and cash equivalents. The fair value of the assets generally uses industry standard valuation techniques as described above and the funds withheld payable components are valued consistent with the assets in the fair value hierarchy and the funds withheld payable is classified in its entirety according to the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. The funds withheld payable is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Debt: Fair values for the Company’s surplus notes and long-term debt are generally determined by prices obtained from independent broker dealers or discounted cash flow models. Such prices are derived from market observable inputs and are classified as Level 2.

Securities Lending Payable: The Company’s securities lending payable is set equal to the cash collateral received. Due to the short-term nature of the loans, carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value and is classified as Level 2.

FHLB Advances: Carrying value of the Company’s FHLB advances, which are included in other liabilities, is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term maturities and are classified as Level 2.

Repurchase Agreements: Carrying value of the Company’s repurchase agreements is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term maturities and are classified as Level 2.

Separate Account Liabilities: The values of separate account liabilities are set equal to the values of separate account assets, which are comprised of investments in mutual funds that transact regularly, but do not trade in active markets as they are not publicly available and are categorized as Level 2.

Deferred Acquisition Costs

Insurance [Abstract]  
Deferred Acquisition Costs Deferred Acquisition Costs
                
Certain costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance business are capitalized as deferred acquisition costs ("DAC") in the period in which they are incurred. These costs primarily pertain to commissions and certain costs associated with policy issuance and underwriting. All other acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Contracts are grouped into cohorts by contract type and issue year. For traditional and limited-payment insurance contracts, contracts are grouped consistent with the groupings used in estimating the associated liability. DAC are amortized into expense on a constant level basis over the expected term of the grouped contracts. For traditional and limited-payment insurance contracts, amortization is determined based on projected in force amounts. For non-traditional contracts, amortization is determined based on projected policy counts.

The expected term used to amortize DAC is determined using best estimate assumptions, including mortality and persistency, consistent with the best estimate assumptions used to determine the reserve for future policy benefits, MRBs, and additional liabilities for applicable contracts. For amortization of DAC related to contracts without these balances, assumptions used to determine expected term are developed in a similar manner. The amortization rate is determined using all information available as of the end of the reporting period, including actual experience and any assumption updates. Annually, or as circumstances warrant, a comprehensive review of assumptions is conducted, and assumptions are revised as appropriate. If assumptions are revised, the amortization rate is calculated using revised assumptions such that the effect of revised assumptions is recognized prospectively as of the beginning of that reporting period.

Unamortized DAC are written off when a contract is internally replaced and substantially changed. Substantially unchanged contracts are treated as a continuation of the replaced contract, with no change to the unamortized DAC at the time of the replacement.

The following table presents the roll-forward of the DAC (in millions). The current period amortization is based on the end of the period estimates of mortality and persistency. The amortization pattern is revised on a prospective basis at the beginning of the period based on the period’s actual experience.

Insurance [Abstract]  
Reinsurance Reinsurance
The Company, through its subsidiary insurance companies, assumes and cedes reinsurance from and to other insurance companies as a means of managing capital and risk exposures. However, if the reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations, the originating issuer of the coverage retains the liability. The Company reinsures certain of its risks to other reinsurers on a coinsurance, coinsurance with funds withheld, modified coinsurance, or yearly renewable term basis. The Company regularly monitors the financial strength ratings of its reinsurers.

Athene Reinsurance

The Company entered into a funds withheld coinsurance agreement with Athene effective June 1, 2020, to reinsure on a 100% quota share basis, a block of Jackson’s in-force fixed and fixed index annuity product liabilities in exchange for a $1.2 billion ceding commission. The coinsurance with funds withheld agreement ("the coinsurance agreement") required Jackson to establish a segregated account in which the investments supporting the ceded obligations are maintained. While the economic benefits of the investments flow to Athene, Jackson retains physical possession and legal ownership of the investments supporting the reserve.

Pursuant to the Athene coinsurance agreement, the Company holds certain assets as collateral. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, assets held as collateral in the segregated custody account were $11.2 billion and $13.1 billion, respectively. The investments maintained in the segregated account are valued at statutory carrying value for purposes of determining periodic settlement amounts under the Athene coinsurance agreement. Further, the investments in the segregated account are not available to settle any policyholder obligations other than those specifically covered by the coinsurance agreement and are not available to settle obligations to general creditors of Jackson. The profit and loss with respect to obligations ceded to Athene are included in periodic net settlements pursuant to the coinsurance agreement. To further support its obligations under the coinsurance agreement, Athene procured $1.1 billion in letters of credit for Jackson’s benefit and established a trust account for Jackson’s benefit, which had a book value of approximately $110 million at December 31, 2025.

Swiss Re Reinsurance

Jackson has three retrocession reinsurance agreements (“retro treaties”) with Swiss Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“SRZ”). Pursuant to these retro treaties, Jackson ceded certain blocks of business to SRZ on a 100% coinsurance with funds withheld basis, subject to pre-existing reinsurance with other parties. As a result of the reinsurance agreements with SRZ, Jackson withholds certain assets, primarily in the form of policy loans and debt securities, as collateral for the reinsurance recoverable.

The Company has also acquired certain blocks of business that are closed to new business and wholly ceded to non-affiliates. These include both direct and assumed accident and health businesses, direct and assumed life insurance business, and certain institutional annuities.

GMIB Reinsurance

The Company’s guaranteed minimum income benefits ("GMIBs") are reinsured with an unrelated party. GMIB reinsured benefits are subject to aggregate annual claim limits. Deductibles also apply on reinsurance of GMIB business issued since March 1, 2005. The Company discontinued offering the GMIB in 2009.

Assumed and Ceded Premiums and Benefits Paid or Provided

Assumed and ceded premiums and benefits paid or provided are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Premium income and benefit expenses are reported net of reinsurance assumed and ceded.
The effect of reinsurance on premiums and benefits was as follows (in millions):

Reinsurance Recoverables and Reinsured Market Risk Benefits

Ceded reinsurance agreements are reported on a gross basis on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset for amounts recoverable from reinsurers or as a component of other assets or liabilities for amounts, such as premiums, owed to or due from reinsurers.

Reinsurance recoverables relating to reinsurance of traditional and limited-payment contracts are required to be recognized and measured in a manner consistent with liabilities relating to the underlying reinsured contracts, including using consistent assumptions. Reinsurance contracts may be executed subsequent to the direct contract issue dates, and market interest rates may have changed between the date that the underlying insurance contracts were issued and the date the reinsurance contract is recognized in the financial statements, resulting in the underlying discount rate differing between the direct and reinsured business.

The Company regularly monitors the financial strength ratings of its reinsurers. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) of $30 million and $27 million, respectively, on its reinsurance recoverables, which are reported net of ACL on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The ACL considers the credit quality of the reinsurer and is generally determined based on probability of default and loss given default assumptions, after considering any applicable collateral arrangements.

For reinsurance recoverables that are collateralized, the amount of collateral is expected to be adjusted as necessary as a result of fair value changes in that collateral. If the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date is less than the carrying value of the reinsurance recoverable, the Company recognizes an ACL on the difference between the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date and the carrying value of the reinsurance recoverable. Additions to or releases of the ACL are reported in Death, other policyholder benefits, and changes in reserves, net of deferrals in the Consolidated Income Statements.

Reinsurance recoverable on market risk benefits is recognized at fair value with changes being recognized in current period earnings within market risk benefit (gains) losses, net. Non-performance risk of the reinsurer is incorporated into the calculation through the adjustment of the risk-free rate curve based on credit spreads observed on instruments issued by similarly-rated life insurance companies.

The Company’s reinsurance contract that cedes only the GMIB elected on certain variable annuity products is classified as a reinsurance recoverable on market risk benefits. These reinsured MRBs may have direct MRB balances recorded as either assets or liabilities; however, because the unit of account for the reinsured MRB is the reinsurance contract, the ceded MRB is presented in total within reinsurance recoverable on market risk benefits. The fees used to determine the fair value of the reinsurance recoverable on market risk benefits are those defined in the reinsurance contract.
Guaranteed benefits related to the optional lifetime income rider offered on certain fixed index annuities are MRBs that are reinsured with Athene. The reinsured MRBs are measured using a non-option valuation approach that uses cash flow assumptions and an attributed fee ratio consistent with those used to measure the MRBs on the direct contract and a discount rate that considers the reinsurer’s credit risk. The attributed fee is locked-in at inception of the contract.

Reinsurance and Funds Withheld Payable Under Reinsurance Treaties

Under the reinsurance agreement with Athene and the retro treaties with SRZ, the Company maintains ownership of the underlying investments instead of transferring them to the reinsurer and, as a result, records a funds withheld liability payable to the reinsurer. Investment returns earned on withheld assets are paid by the Company to the reinsurer, pursuant to the terms of the agreements. Investment income and net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments are reported net of gains or losses on the funds withheld payable under reinsurance treaties.

The amounts credited to reinsurers on the funds withheld payable is based on the return earned on those assets. The return earned on the assets is subject to the credit risk of the original issuer of the instrument rather than Jackson’s own creditworthiness, which results in an embedded derivative (total return swap).

Funds withheld under reinsurance agreement with Athene

The Company recognizes a liability for the embedded derivative related to the funds withheld under the Athene reinsurance agreement within funds withheld payable under reinsurance treaties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The embedded derivative is measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments in the Consolidated Income Statements. At inception of the reinsurance agreement with Athene, the fair value of the withheld investments differed from their book value and, accordingly, while the investments are held, the amortization of this difference is reported in net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments in the Consolidated Income Statements. See Note 5 - Derivative Instruments of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the embedded derivative.

Funds withheld under reinsurance agreements with SRZ

At execution of the retro treaties with SRZ, the Company elected the fair value option for the withheld assets, as well as the related funds withheld payable. Accordingly, the embedded derivative is not bifurcated or separately measured. The funds withheld payable is measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments. The fair value of the funds withheld payable is equal to the fair value of the assets held as collateral.

Reserves for Future Policy Benefits and Claims Payable

Insurance [Abstract]  
Reserves for Future Policy Benefits and Claims Payable Reserves for Future Policy Benefits and Claims Payable
Reserves for Future Policy Benefits

For non-participating traditional and limited-payment insurance contracts, the reserve for future policy benefits represents the present value of estimated future policy benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders in future periods and certain related expenses less the present value of estimated future net premiums.

Reserves for future policy benefits for non-participating traditional and limited-payment insurance contracts are measured using the net premium ratio ("NPR") measurement model. The NPR measurement model accrues for future policy benefits in proportion to the premium revenue recognized. The reserve for future policy benefits is derived from the Company's best estimate of future net premium and future benefits and expenses, which is based on best estimate assumptions including mortality, persistency, claims expense, and discount rate. On an annual basis, or as circumstances warrant, we conduct a comprehensive review of our current best estimate assumptions based on our experience, industry benchmarking, and other factors, as applicable. Expense assumptions are updated based on estimates of expected non-level costs, such as termination or settlement costs, and costs after the premium-paying period and exclude acquisition costs or any costs that are required to be charged to expenses as incurred. Updates to assumptions are applied on a retrospective basis, and the change in the reserve for future policy benefits resulting from updates to assumptions is reported separately in the Consolidated Income Statements within the (gain) loss from updating future policy benefits cash flow assumptions, net. Each reporting period the reserve for future policy benefits is updated to reflect actual experience to date.

The Company establishes cohorts, which are groupings used to measure reserves for future policy benefits. In determining cohorts, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors, including the issue year, type of product, product features, and legal entity.

The discount rate used to estimate reserves for future policy benefits is consistent with an upper-medium grade (low-credit risk) fixed-income corporate instrument yield, which has been interpreted to represent a single-A corporate instrument yield. This discount rate curve is determined by fitting a parametric function to yields to maturity and related times to maturity of market observable single-A rated corporate instruments. The discount rate used to recognize interest accretion on the reserves for future policy benefits is locked at the initial measurement of the cohort. Each reporting period thereafter, the reserve for future policy benefits is remeasured using the current discount rate. The difference between the reserve calculated using the current discount rate and the reserve calculated using the locked-in discount rate is recorded in OCI.
For limited-payment insurance contracts, premiums are paid over a period shorter than the period over which benefits are provided. Gross premiums received in excess of the net premium are deferred and recognized as a deferred profit liability ("DPL"). The DPL is included within the reserve for future policy benefits and profits are recognized in income as a component of benefit expenses on a constant relationship with the amount of expected future benefit payments. Interest is accreted on the balance of the DPL using the discount rate locked in at the initial measurement of the cohort. Measurement of the DPL uses best estimate assumptions for mortality. These assumptions are similarly subject to the annual review process discussed above.

Additional Liabilities – Universal Life-type

For universal life-type insurance contracts, a liability is recognized for the policyholder’s account value as discussed further in Note 10 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Where these contracts provide additional benefits beyond the account balance or base insurance coverage that are not market risk benefits or embedded derivatives, liabilities in addition to the policyholder’s account value are recognized. These additional liabilities for annuitization, death and other insurance benefits are reported within reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable. The methodology uses a benefit ratio defined as a constant percentage of the assessment base. This ratio is multiplied by current period assessments to determine the reserve accrual for the period. The assumptions used in the measurement of the additional liabilities for annuitization, death and other insurance benefits are based on best estimate assumptions including mortality, persistency, investment returns, and discount rates. These assumptions are similarly subject to the annual review process discussed above. As available-for-sale debt securities are carried at fair value, an adjustment is made to these additional liabilities equal to the change in liability that would have occurred if such securities had been sold at their stated fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields. This adjustment, along with the change in net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale debt securities, net of applicable tax, is credited or charged directly to equity as a component of OCI.

See Note 10 - Other Contract Holder Funds of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding other contract holder funds.

Other Future Policy Benefits and Claims Payable

In conjunction with a prior acquisition, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment at acquisition related to certain annuity and interest-sensitive liability blocks of business to reflect the cost of the interest guarantees within the in-force liabilities, based on the difference between the guaranteed interest rate and at purchase assumed new money guaranteed interest rate. This adjustment is included in other future policy benefits and claims payable as disclosed in the table below. This liability is remeasured at the end of each period, taking into account changes in the in-force block. Any resulting change in the liability is recorded as a gain (loss) from updating future policy benefits cash flow assumptions, net through the Consolidated Income Statements.

In addition, annuity and life claims liabilities in course of settlement are included in other future policy benefits and claims payable as disclosed in the table below.

The significant assumptions used in the liability for future policy benefits calculation consist of mortality, persistency, and discount rate. We undertook a comprehensive review of the significant assumptions used in the liability for future policy benefits calculation during 2025. Assumptions were unlocked with the most significant impact from an update to mortality. An update to mortality and lapse was made for the additional liabilities - universal life-type insurance contracts.

The discount rate assumption related to the single-A corporate instrument yield was updated based on current market data. Discount rates decreased in 2025 compared to 2024, based on the duration of the liability. This resulted in a increase in the liability. Refer to the roll-forward above for further details.

Other Contract Holder Funds Other Contract Holder Funds
Other contract holder funds represent the policyholder account balance on our universal life-type products, investment contracts, and the fair value of the embedded derivatives associated with the indexed crediting features on our fixed index annuities and RILA.

Universal life-type products: Universal life-type contracts have, as a principal component, an account balance in which interest is credited to policyholders and assessments are deducted for mortality risk and contract administration. The account balance is recognized as a liability within other contract holder funds, and the liability is updated each period for fee and assessment deductions and increased for interest or returns credited to the account balance.

Certain of our universal life-type contracts contain features that are not classified as market risk benefits or embedded derivatives but provide additional benefits beyond the account balance or base insurance coverage for which a liability in addition to the account balance is necessary. These additional liabilities for death or other insurance benefits are reported as a component of reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 9 - Reserves for Future Policy Benefits and Claims Payable of these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding these additional liabilities.

Investment contracts: Certain contracts without significant mortality or morbidity risk and certain annuities that lack insurance risk are treated as investment contracts. For investment contracts, payments received are reported as liabilities and accounted for in a manner consistent with the accounting for interest-bearing or other financial instruments, within other contract holder funds.

The Company issues a variety of annuity products including variable annuities, registered index linked annuities, fixed annuities, fixed index annuities, and payout annuities. For annuity contracts that are classified as investment contracts, the liability is the account balance as of the reporting date, reported within the other contract holder funds. For the variable annuity products, only the allocations to fixed fund options are reported in other contract holder funds.

Embedded derivatives - product liabilities: For our RILA and fixed index annuities, the equity-linked option issued by the Company is accounted for at fair value as an embedded derivative on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of other contract holder funds, with changes in fair value recorded in net income.

The fair value of the embedded derivative for the FIA and RILA products is determined using an option-budget method with capital market inputs of market index returns and discount rates as well as actuarial assumptions including lapse, mortality and withdrawal rates. We typically update our actuarial assumptions annually, unless a material change is observed in an interim period that we feel is indicative of a long-term trend.

Our annuity products may contain certain features or guarantees that are classified as MRBs. These market risk benefits are a component of the market risk benefits line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 12 - Market Risk Benefits of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding market risk benefits.

The Company’s institutional products business is comprised of the guaranteed investment contracts, funding agreements backed by medium-term notes ("FABN funding agreements"), funding agreements backed by commercial paper ("FABCP funding agreements"), and funding agreements issued in conjunction with the Company's participation in the U.S. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") program ("FHLB funding agreements") described below.

FABN funding agreements: Jackson has established a funding agreement-backed note (“FABN”) program, pursuant to which a special purpose statutory business trust may issue up to $32 billion aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes and deposit the proceeds with Jackson pursuant to a FABN funding agreement issued by Jackson to the special purpose statutory trust. The carrying values of the FABN funding agreements at December 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $8.0 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively.
Liabilities for foreign currency denominated FABN funding agreements are adjusted to reflect the effects of foreign currency translation gains and losses using exchange rates as of the reporting date. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included in net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments. FABN funding agreements issued in a foreign currency have been hedged for changes in exchange rates using cross-currency swaps.

FABCP funding agreements: In the second quarter of 2025, Jackson established a FABCP funding agreement program, pursuant to which a special purpose limited liability company may issue commercial paper and deposit the proceeds with Jackson under FABCP funding agreements issued by Jackson to the special purpose limited liability company. The current maximum aggregate principal amount permitted to be outstanding at any one time under the program is $3.0 billion. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $626 million outstanding under the program.

FHLB funding agreements: Jackson is a member of the FHLBI primarily for the purpose of participating in the bank’s mortgage-collateralized loan advance program with long-term funding facilities. Advances are in the form of funding agreements issued to, and short-term and long-term borrowings from, FHLBI. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company held $119 million and $127 million of FHLBI capital stock, respectively, supporting $1.9 billion and $2.7 billion in FHLB funding agreements and short-term and long-term borrowings at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the FHLB funding agreements and short-term and long-term borrowings were collateralized by mortgage-related securities and commercial mortgage loans with a carrying value of $2.8 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively.

Market Risk Benefits
Contracts or contract features that provide protection to the contract holder from capital market risk and expose the Company to other-than-nominal capital market risk are classified as MRBs.

All long-duration insurance contracts and certain investment contracts are subject to MRB evaluation. MRBs are measured at fair value at the contract level and can be in either an asset or liability position. For contracts that contain multiple MRB features, the MRBs are valued together as a single compound MRB. Market risk benefit assets and Market risk benefit liabilities are reported separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes in fair value are reported in Net (gains) losses on market risk benefits in the Consolidated Income Statements. However, the change in fair value related to our own non-performance risk is reported as a component of other comprehensive income in Change in non-performance risk on market risk benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

A description of the items affecting the change in fair value by category is as follows:
Changes in interest rates — movement in risk free rates (impacts both assumed future separate account returns and discounting of cash flows)
Fund performance — separate account returns gross of fees
Change in equity index volatility — movement in implied volatility
Expected policyholder behavior — policyholder behavior as assumed in reserving
Actual policyholder behavior different than expected — difference between actual behavior during the period versus assumed behavior
Time — effect of passage of time including reduction to separate account balances from fees, the change in proximity of future cash flows, and impacts to policy features such as bonus credits
Change in assumptions — effect of actuarial assumption updates and model enhancements
Change in non-performance risk — changes in Jackson’s non-performance risk

See Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding fair value measurements.

Additionally, when an annuitization occurs (for annuitization benefits) or upon extinguishment of the account balance (for withdrawal benefits), the balance related to the MRB is derecognized and the amount deducted (after derecognition of any related amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income) is used in the calculation of the liability for future policy benefits for the resulting payout annuity.
Variable Annuities

Variable annuity contracts issued by the Company offer various guaranteed minimum death, withdrawal, income and accumulation benefits. These guaranteed benefit features, as well as the reinsurance recoverable on the Company’s GMIB, are classified as MRBs and measured at fair value. The Company discontinued offering the GMIB in 2009.

Variable annuity guaranteed benefit features classified as MRBs, which have explicit fees, are measured using the attributed fee method. Under the attributed fee method, fair value is measured as the difference between the present value of projected future liabilities and the present value of projected attributed fees. At the inception of the contract, the Company attributes to the MRB a portion of total fees expected to be assessed against the contract holder to offset the projected claims over the lifetime of the contract. The attributed fee is expressed as a percentage of total projected future fees at inception of the contract. This percentage of total projected fees is considered a fixed term of the MRB feature and is held static over the life of the contract. This percentage may not exceed 100% of the total projected contract fees as of contract inception. As the Company may issue contracts that have projected future liabilities greater than the projected future guaranteed benefit fees at issue, the Company may also attribute mortality and expense charges when performing this calculation. In subsequent valuations, the present value of both future projected liabilities and projected attributed fees are remeasured based on current market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions.

Fixed Index Annuities and RILA

Our FIA and RILA contracts may be issued with features that guarantee benefits that are payable upon death (GMDB) or upon depletion of funds (GMWB). These features are classified as MRBs and measured at fair value.

Where the guaranteed benefit features have explicit fees, the fair value of the MRB is measured as the difference between the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits and the present value of projected attributed fees (the attributed fee method). At inception of the contract, the Company attributes a percentage of total projected future fees expected to be assessed against the policyholder to offset the projected future guaranteed benefits over the lifetime of the contract. Where the projected attributed fees are sufficient to offset the projected guaranteed benefits at issue, the MRB has an initial fair value of zero resulting in no gain or loss on issuance of the contract. If the projected attributed fees are insufficient to offset the projected guaranteed benefits at issue, an MRB liability is recognized at issuance and the value of the MRB is deducted from the host contract liability resulting in no gain or loss on issuance of the contract.

If the guaranteed benefits do not have explicit fees, the fair value of the MRB is measured as the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. At inception, the initial value of the MRB is deducted from the host contract liability resulting in no gain or loss on issuance of the contract.

(2) Net amount at risk (NAR) is defined as of the valuation date for each contract as the greater of Death Benefit NAR (DBNAR) and Living Benefit NAR (LBNAR), as applicable, where DBNAR is the GMDB benefit base in excess of the account value, and LBNAR is the actuarial present value of guaranteed living benefits in excess of the account value.

At each reporting date, the Company regularly evaluates the inputs and assumptions to be used to measure the fair value of the MRB assets and MRB liabilities. Since June 30, 2023, non-performance risk is incorporated into the calculation through the adjustment of the risk-free rate curve based only on credit spreads for debt and debt-like instruments issued by the Company or its insurance operating subsidiaries, adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the financial strength ratings of the issuing insurance subsidiaries. Prior thereto, the non-performance risk adjustment was determined based on credit spreads indicated by a blend of yields on similarly rated peer debt and yields on Company debt. The change was made as a result of management’s determination that the reliability of credit spreads on debt and debt-like instruments issued by the Company as a measure of company-specific credit risk has increased due to sustained levels of market trading volume of these instruments.

The significant assumptions used in the MRB fair value calculations are discussed in Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The use of models and assumptions used to determine fair value of MRBs requires a significant amount of judgment. As such, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of the significant assumptions used.

During 2025, the following notable changes were made to the inputs and assumptions used in the fair value estimates of the MRB calculations:
Decreases in short-term interest rates and slight increases in long-term interest rates led to lower assumed separate account returns, but also lower discount rates on primarily fee cashflows and higher discount rates on primarily claim cashflows. The combination of these effects resulted in a decrease to the MRB reserve.
Increases in equity markets led to higher separate account fund performance and a decrease in future projected benefits, which resulted in a decrease in the MRB reserve.
Impacts of our annual assumption review resulted in an increase in the MRB reserve. This reserve increase was primarily related to updated policyholder behavior assumptions such as lapse and partially offset by updated mortality assumptions and model enhancements.
Increases in equity index volatility led to lower assumed separate account returns, which resulted in an increase in the MRB reserve.
The non-performance risk adjustment decreased as a result of decreasing spreads which resulted in an increase in the MRB reserve that was recorded within OCI.

During 2024, the following notable changes were made to the inputs and assumptions used in the fair value estimates of the MRB calculations:
Increases in interest rates led to higher assumed separate account returns and higher discount rates, which resulted in a decrease to the MRB reserve.
Increases in equity markets led to higher separate account fund performance and a decrease in future projected benefits, which resulted in a decrease in the MRB reserve.
Impacts of our annual assumption review resulted in an increase in the MRB reserve. This reserve increase was primarily related to data enhancements and assumption updates for withdrawal utilization on policies with GMWBs.
Decreases in equity index volatility led to higher assumed separate account returns, which resulted in a decrease in the MRB reserve.
The non-performance risk adjustment decreased as a result of decreasing spreads on the short end of the curve, which resulted in an increase in the MRB reserve that was recorded within OCI.

Separate Accounts Disclosure [Abstract]  
Separate Account Assets and Liabilities Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
The Company issues variable contracts through its separate accounts for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder (traditional variable annuities). The Company also issues variable contracts through separate accounts where the Company contractually guarantees to the contract holder (variable contracts with guarantees) the following: a) return of no less than total deposits made to the account adjusted for any partial withdrawals, b) total deposits made to the account adjusted for any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return, or c) the highest account value on a specified anniversary date adjusted for any withdrawals following the contract anniversary. These guarantees include benefits that are payable in the event of death (guaranteed minimum death benefits, or "GMDB"), at annuitization (guaranteed minimum income benefits, or "GMIB"), upon the depletion of funds (guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits, or "GMWB") or at the end of a specified period (guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits, or "GMAB"). These guarantees are classified as market risk benefits. See Note 12 - Market Risk Benefits of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding market risk benefits.

The separate account assets supporting the variable portion of both traditional variable annuities and variable contracts with guarantees are carried at fair value and reported as summary total separate account assets with an equivalent summary total reported for separate account liabilities. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the assets and liabilities associated with variable life and annuity contracts were $236 billion and $229 billion, respectively. Investment risks associated with market value changes are borne by the contract holders, except to the extent of minimum guarantees made by the Company.

Separate account net investment income, net investment realized and unrealized gains and losses, and the related liability changes are offset within the same line item in the Consolidated Income Statements. Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, variable annuity benefit guarantees, administrative, and other services are reported in revenue as fee income.

Participating Insurance [Abstract]  
Market Risk Benefits Other Contract Holder Funds
Other contract holder funds represent the policyholder account balance on our universal life-type products, investment contracts, and the fair value of the embedded derivatives associated with the indexed crediting features on our fixed index annuities and RILA.

Universal life-type products: Universal life-type contracts have, as a principal component, an account balance in which interest is credited to policyholders and assessments are deducted for mortality risk and contract administration. The account balance is recognized as a liability within other contract holder funds, and the liability is updated each period for fee and assessment deductions and increased for interest or returns credited to the account balance.

Certain of our universal life-type contracts contain features that are not classified as market risk benefits or embedded derivatives but provide additional benefits beyond the account balance or base insurance coverage for which a liability in addition to the account balance is necessary. These additional liabilities for death or other insurance benefits are reported as a component of reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 9 - Reserves for Future Policy Benefits and Claims Payable of these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding these additional liabilities.

Investment contracts: Certain contracts without significant mortality or morbidity risk and certain annuities that lack insurance risk are treated as investment contracts. For investment contracts, payments received are reported as liabilities and accounted for in a manner consistent with the accounting for interest-bearing or other financial instruments, within other contract holder funds.

The Company issues a variety of annuity products including variable annuities, registered index linked annuities, fixed annuities, fixed index annuities, and payout annuities. For annuity contracts that are classified as investment contracts, the liability is the account balance as of the reporting date, reported within the other contract holder funds. For the variable annuity products, only the allocations to fixed fund options are reported in other contract holder funds.

Embedded derivatives - product liabilities: For our RILA and fixed index annuities, the equity-linked option issued by the Company is accounted for at fair value as an embedded derivative on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of other contract holder funds, with changes in fair value recorded in net income.

The fair value of the embedded derivative for the FIA and RILA products is determined using an option-budget method with capital market inputs of market index returns and discount rates as well as actuarial assumptions including lapse, mortality and withdrawal rates. We typically update our actuarial assumptions annually, unless a material change is observed in an interim period that we feel is indicative of a long-term trend.

Our annuity products may contain certain features or guarantees that are classified as MRBs. These market risk benefits are a component of the market risk benefits line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 12 - Market Risk Benefits of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding market risk benefits.

The Company’s institutional products business is comprised of the guaranteed investment contracts, funding agreements backed by medium-term notes ("FABN funding agreements"), funding agreements backed by commercial paper ("FABCP funding agreements"), and funding agreements issued in conjunction with the Company's participation in the U.S. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") program ("FHLB funding agreements") described below.

FABN funding agreements: Jackson has established a funding agreement-backed note (“FABN”) program, pursuant to which a special purpose statutory business trust may issue up to $32 billion aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes and deposit the proceeds with Jackson pursuant to a FABN funding agreement issued by Jackson to the special purpose statutory trust. The carrying values of the FABN funding agreements at December 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $8.0 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively.
Liabilities for foreign currency denominated FABN funding agreements are adjusted to reflect the effects of foreign currency translation gains and losses using exchange rates as of the reporting date. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included in net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments. FABN funding agreements issued in a foreign currency have been hedged for changes in exchange rates using cross-currency swaps.

FABCP funding agreements: In the second quarter of 2025, Jackson established a FABCP funding agreement program, pursuant to which a special purpose limited liability company may issue commercial paper and deposit the proceeds with Jackson under FABCP funding agreements issued by Jackson to the special purpose limited liability company. The current maximum aggregate principal amount permitted to be outstanding at any one time under the program is $3.0 billion. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $626 million outstanding under the program.

FHLB funding agreements: Jackson is a member of the FHLBI primarily for the purpose of participating in the bank’s mortgage-collateralized loan advance program with long-term funding facilities. Advances are in the form of funding agreements issued to, and short-term and long-term borrowings from, FHLBI. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company held $119 million and $127 million of FHLBI capital stock, respectively, supporting $1.9 billion and $2.7 billion in FHLB funding agreements and short-term and long-term borrowings at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the FHLB funding agreements and short-term and long-term borrowings were collateralized by mortgage-related securities and commercial mortgage loans with a carrying value of $2.8 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively.

Market Risk Benefits
Contracts or contract features that provide protection to the contract holder from capital market risk and expose the Company to other-than-nominal capital market risk are classified as MRBs.

All long-duration insurance contracts and certain investment contracts are subject to MRB evaluation. MRBs are measured at fair value at the contract level and can be in either an asset or liability position. For contracts that contain multiple MRB features, the MRBs are valued together as a single compound MRB. Market risk benefit assets and Market risk benefit liabilities are reported separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes in fair value are reported in Net (gains) losses on market risk benefits in the Consolidated Income Statements. However, the change in fair value related to our own non-performance risk is reported as a component of other comprehensive income in Change in non-performance risk on market risk benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

A description of the items affecting the change in fair value by category is as follows:
Changes in interest rates — movement in risk free rates (impacts both assumed future separate account returns and discounting of cash flows)
Fund performance — separate account returns gross of fees
Change in equity index volatility — movement in implied volatility
Expected policyholder behavior — policyholder behavior as assumed in reserving
Actual policyholder behavior different than expected — difference between actual behavior during the period versus assumed behavior
Time — effect of passage of time including reduction to separate account balances from fees, the change in proximity of future cash flows, and impacts to policy features such as bonus credits
Change in assumptions — effect of actuarial assumption updates and model enhancements
Change in non-performance risk — changes in Jackson’s non-performance risk

See Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding fair value measurements.

Additionally, when an annuitization occurs (for annuitization benefits) or upon extinguishment of the account balance (for withdrawal benefits), the balance related to the MRB is derecognized and the amount deducted (after derecognition of any related amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income) is used in the calculation of the liability for future policy benefits for the resulting payout annuity.
Variable Annuities

Variable annuity contracts issued by the Company offer various guaranteed minimum death, withdrawal, income and accumulation benefits. These guaranteed benefit features, as well as the reinsurance recoverable on the Company’s GMIB, are classified as MRBs and measured at fair value. The Company discontinued offering the GMIB in 2009.

Variable annuity guaranteed benefit features classified as MRBs, which have explicit fees, are measured using the attributed fee method. Under the attributed fee method, fair value is measured as the difference between the present value of projected future liabilities and the present value of projected attributed fees. At the inception of the contract, the Company attributes to the MRB a portion of total fees expected to be assessed against the contract holder to offset the projected claims over the lifetime of the contract. The attributed fee is expressed as a percentage of total projected future fees at inception of the contract. This percentage of total projected fees is considered a fixed term of the MRB feature and is held static over the life of the contract. This percentage may not exceed 100% of the total projected contract fees as of contract inception. As the Company may issue contracts that have projected future liabilities greater than the projected future guaranteed benefit fees at issue, the Company may also attribute mortality and expense charges when performing this calculation. In subsequent valuations, the present value of both future projected liabilities and projected attributed fees are remeasured based on current market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions.

Fixed Index Annuities and RILA

Our FIA and RILA contracts may be issued with features that guarantee benefits that are payable upon death (GMDB) or upon depletion of funds (GMWB). These features are classified as MRBs and measured at fair value.

Where the guaranteed benefit features have explicit fees, the fair value of the MRB is measured as the difference between the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits and the present value of projected attributed fees (the attributed fee method). At inception of the contract, the Company attributes a percentage of total projected future fees expected to be assessed against the policyholder to offset the projected future guaranteed benefits over the lifetime of the contract. Where the projected attributed fees are sufficient to offset the projected guaranteed benefits at issue, the MRB has an initial fair value of zero resulting in no gain or loss on issuance of the contract. If the projected attributed fees are insufficient to offset the projected guaranteed benefits at issue, an MRB liability is recognized at issuance and the value of the MRB is deducted from the host contract liability resulting in no gain or loss on issuance of the contract.

If the guaranteed benefits do not have explicit fees, the fair value of the MRB is measured as the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. At inception, the initial value of the MRB is deducted from the host contract liability resulting in no gain or loss on issuance of the contract.

(2) Net amount at risk (NAR) is defined as of the valuation date for each contract as the greater of Death Benefit NAR (DBNAR) and Living Benefit NAR (LBNAR), as applicable, where DBNAR is the GMDB benefit base in excess of the account value, and LBNAR is the actuarial present value of guaranteed living benefits in excess of the account value.

At each reporting date, the Company regularly evaluates the inputs and assumptions to be used to measure the fair value of the MRB assets and MRB liabilities. Since June 30, 2023, non-performance risk is incorporated into the calculation through the adjustment of the risk-free rate curve based only on credit spreads for debt and debt-like instruments issued by the Company or its insurance operating subsidiaries, adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the financial strength ratings of the issuing insurance subsidiaries. Prior thereto, the non-performance risk adjustment was determined based on credit spreads indicated by a blend of yields on similarly rated peer debt and yields on Company debt. The change was made as a result of management’s determination that the reliability of credit spreads on debt and debt-like instruments issued by the Company as a measure of company-specific credit risk has increased due to sustained levels of market trading volume of these instruments.

The significant assumptions used in the MRB fair value calculations are discussed in Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The use of models and assumptions used to determine fair value of MRBs requires a significant amount of judgment. As such, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of the significant assumptions used.

During 2025, the following notable changes were made to the inputs and assumptions used in the fair value estimates of the MRB calculations:
Decreases in short-term interest rates and slight increases in long-term interest rates led to lower assumed separate account returns, but also lower discount rates on primarily fee cashflows and higher discount rates on primarily claim cashflows. The combination of these effects resulted in a decrease to the MRB reserve.
Increases in equity markets led to higher separate account fund performance and a decrease in future projected benefits, which resulted in a decrease in the MRB reserve.
Impacts of our annual assumption review resulted in an increase in the MRB reserve. This reserve increase was primarily related to updated policyholder behavior assumptions such as lapse and partially offset by updated mortality assumptions and model enhancements.
Increases in equity index volatility led to lower assumed separate account returns, which resulted in an increase in the MRB reserve.
The non-performance risk adjustment decreased as a result of decreasing spreads which resulted in an increase in the MRB reserve that was recorded within OCI.

During 2024, the following notable changes were made to the inputs and assumptions used in the fair value estimates of the MRB calculations:
Increases in interest rates led to higher assumed separate account returns and higher discount rates, which resulted in a decrease to the MRB reserve.
Increases in equity markets led to higher separate account fund performance and a decrease in future projected benefits, which resulted in a decrease in the MRB reserve.
Impacts of our annual assumption review resulted in an increase in the MRB reserve. This reserve increase was primarily related to data enhancements and assumption updates for withdrawal utilization on policies with GMWBs.
Decreases in equity index volatility led to higher assumed separate account returns, which resulted in a decrease in the MRB reserve.
The non-performance risk adjustment decreased as a result of decreasing spreads on the short end of the curve, which resulted in an increase in the MRB reserve that was recorded within OCI.

Revolving Credit Facility

On February 24, 2023, the Company replaced its prior revolving credit facility that was scheduled to expire in February 2024, with a new revolving credit facility (the "2023 Revolving Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The 2023 Revolving Credit Facility provides for borrowings for working capital and other general corporate purposes under aggregate commitments of $1.0 billion, with a sub-limit of $500 million available for letters of credit. The 2023 Revolving Credit Facility further provides for the ability to request, subject to customary terms and conditions, an increase in commitments thereunder by up to an additional $500 million.
The credit agreement for the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility contains financial maintenance covenants, including a minimum adjusted consolidated net worth test of no less than 70% of our adjusted consolidated net worth as of September 30, 2022 (plus (to the extent positive) or minus (to the extent negative) 70% of the impact on such adjusted consolidated net worth resulting from the application of the one-time transition adjustment for the LDTI accounting change for insurance contracts, and plus 50% of the aggregate amount of any increase in adjusted consolidated net worth resulting from equity issuances by the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries after September 30, 2022), and a maximum consolidated indebtedness to total capitalization ratio test not to exceed 35%. Commitments under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility terminate on February 24, 2028.

Surplus Notes

Under Michigan insurance law, for statutory reporting purposes, the surplus notes are not part of the legal liabilities of the Company and are considered surplus funds. Payments of interest or principal may only be made with the prior approval of the Michigan Director of Insurance and only out of surplus earnings that the director determines to be available for such payments under Michigan insurance law.

On March 15, 1997, the Company, through its subsidiary, Jackson, issued 8.2% surplus notes in the principal amount of $250 million due March 15, 2027. These surplus notes are unsecured and subordinated to all present and future indebtedness, policy claims and other creditor claims and may not be redeemed at the option of the Company or any holder prior to maturity. Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15th and September 15th of each year. Interest expense on the notes was $20 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

FHLB Loans

The Company received loans of $50 million from the FHLBI under its community investment program in both 2015 and 2014, which amortize on a straight-line basis over the loan term. The weighted average interest rate on these loans was 4.2% and 5.1% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The outstanding balance on these loans was $47 million and $52 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See Note 10 - Other Contract Holder Funds of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the carrying value of our collateralization of our FHLB obligations.

The Company is required to evaluate the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce its deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realizable. Considerable judgment and the use of estimates are required when determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and, if so, the amount of such valuation allowance. When evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers many factors, including: the nature and character of the deferred tax assets and liabilities; taxable income in prior carryback years; future reversals of temporary differences; the length of time carryovers can be utilized; and any tax planning strategies the Company would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused. The Company has adopted an accounting policy to analyze the ability to recover the CAMT credit carryover deferred tax asset separately from the deferred tax assets generated under the regular tax system.

The Company utilized a three-year rolling calculation of actual comprehensive income before taxes adjusted for permanent items to measure the cumulative losses in recent years. In 2020, the Company entered into a funds withheld coinsurance agreement with Athene, which results in the cumulative comprehensive income including items that are not indicative of the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income. As such, an adjustment was made to exclude the change in AOCI not attributable to the funds withheld coinsurance agreement with Athene. The change in AOCI attributable to these assets is excluded because our invested assets are generally invested to closely match the duration of our liabilities, which are longer duration in nature, and therefore the Company believes that the period-to-period fair market value fluctuations in AOCI are inconsistent when analyzing trends in our business. The changes in AOCI within the funds withheld account related to the Athene Reinsurance Transaction are not excluded because they offset the related earnings from the Athene Reinsurance Transaction included in pre-tax income and thus appropriately results in removing the impact from the Athene Reinsurance Transaction from the cumulative income test which economically should be minimal over the life of the reinsured business. Based on these factors, it is reasonable for the Company to rely on the estimated projection of future income as evidence in assessing the sources of taxable income available to realize the benefit of deferred tax assets.

The Company evaluated each component of the deferred tax asset and assessed the effects of limitations and/or interpretations on the value of such components to be fully recognized in the future. The Company also evaluated the likelihood of sufficient taxable income in the future to offset the available deferred tax assets based on evidence considered to be objective and verifiable. Based on the analysis at December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the $719 million and $480 million, respectively, of net deferred tax assets will be realized through future projected taxable income.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, changes in market conditions and interest rates, impacted the unrealized tax gains and losses in the available for sale securities portfolio resulting in deferred tax assets related to net unrealized tax capital losses for the life insurance group. The deferred tax asset relates to the unrealized losses for which the carryforward period has not yet begun, and as such, when assessing its recoverability, we consider our ability and intent to hold the underlying securities to recovery, our capital loss carryback capacity, along with reversing capital deferred tax liabilities.

As of December 31, 2025, based on all available evidence, the Company concluded that a valuation allowance should be established on a portion of the deferred tax asset related to unrealized losses and charitable contributions carryover, which was impacted by the OBBBA, that are not more likely than not to be realized. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an decrease of $250 million to the valuation allowance associated with the realized capital losses and the unrealized tax losses in the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio, and recorded an increase of $2 million for the charitable contributions carryover. The $248 million decrease for the twelve months ending December 31, 2025 to the valuation allowance consists of $280 million tax benefit recorded to other comprehensive income and $32 million tax expense recorded in the income tax expense. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has recorded a total valuation allowance of $486 million and $734 million, respectively, primarily associated with the unrealized tax losses in the Life Companies’ available for sale securities portfolio and charitable contributions carryover where it is not more likely than not that the full tax benefit of the losses will be realized.
Carryforwards

The following table sets forth the amount and expiration dates of federal and state operating, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards for tax periods indicated. Included in the table is a Section 382 loss carryforward attributable to a previous acquisition. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. The Section 382 limitation is an annual limitation on the amount of pre-acquisition net operating losses that a corporation may use to offset post-acquisition income. Section 382 further limits certain unrealized built-in losses at the time of acquisition.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company determines whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The portion of a tax position that is greater than the 50% likelihood of being realized is recorded on the financial statements and any unrecognized part of a position due to uncertainties are recorded as a liability and are charged to income tax in the period that determination is made. The Company has considered both permanent and temporary positions in determining the unrecognized tax benefit rollforward. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company held no reserves related to unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax (benefit) expense. The Company did not recognize any interest and penalty expense in 2025, 2024 or 2023. For 2025 and 2024, the Company did not accrue any amounts for interest expense or penalties.

Tax Examinations and Litigation

The Company is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities in jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company is not currently subject to federal, state or local income tax examination. The IRS completed an examination of the 2019-2023 Brooke Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries federal consolidated returns during 2025 that resulted in no changes. Tax years from 2022 to 2025 remain open under the statute of limitations.

Organization and Tax Sharing Agreements

Our U.S. federal consolidated income tax group includes both life companies and non-life companies. The Company files separate non-life and life insurance consolidated federal income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions, as well as certain foreign jurisdictions.
Jackson Financial and its non-life insurance subsidiaries, Jackson Holdings, LLC and PPM, file a consolidated non-life federal income tax return. Brooke Life files a consolidated life insurance company tax return with Jackson, JNY, Squire Re II, Brooke Re, and Hickory Re. VFL International Life Company SPC, LTD is taxed as a controlled foreign corporation of Jackson. With the exception of several insignificant wholly-owned subsidiaries that are not included in the Brooke Life consolidated tax return, all other subsidiaries of Jackson are limited liability companies with all of their interests owned by Jackson. Accordingly, they are not considered separate entities for income tax purposes and, therefore, are taxed as part of the operations of Jackson. Income tax expense is calculated on a separate company basis.

Jackson Financial, Jackson Holdings LLC, and PPM have entered into written tax sharing agreements. These tax sharing agreements are generally based on a separate return basis with benefits for credits and losses.

Brooke Life, Jackson, JNY, Squire RE II, Brooke Re and Hickory Re have entered into written tax sharing agreements. These tax sharing agreements are generally based on a separate return basis with benefits for credits and losses.

CAMT liability is allocated to each company based on its share of the impact of CAMT in the respective consolidated tax return filing group in which it is a member.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to legal actions and, at times, regulatory investigations. Given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, it is difficult to estimate their impact on the Company’s financial position. A reserve is established for contingent liabilities if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. It is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company’s contingent liabilities, or the use of different assumptions in the determination of amounts recorded, could have a material effect upon the Company’s financial position. However, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of contingent liabilities is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. Jackson has been named in civil litigation proceedings, which appear to be substantially similar to other class action litigation brought against many life insurers including allegations of misconduct in the sale and administration of insurance products. The Company accrues for legal contingencies once the contingency is deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable.
At December 31, 2025, the Company had unfunded commitments related to its investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies totaling $708 million. At December 31, 2025, unfunded commitments related to fixed-rate mortgage loans and other debt securities totaled $900 million.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
The Company leases office space and equipment under several operating leases that expire at various dates through 2051. The Company determines if a contract is a lease at inception or modification. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease and are included in the lease measurement when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and corresponding lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are determined using the Company’s incremental borrowings rate based upon information available at lease commencement. Certain lease incentives such as free rent periods are recorded as a reduction of the ROU asset. Lease costs for operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.

The Company has lease agreements with both lease and non-lease components. The Company elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for certain real estate leases.

Variable lease expenses may include changes in index-linked lease payments and certain variable operating expenses associated with real estate leases. These payments are recognized in operating expenses in the period incurred.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had operating lease net ROU assets of $54 million and $20 million and associated lease liabilities of $56 million and $26 million, respectively, classified within other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Net lease expense was $57 million, $53 million, and $43 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, including expenses associated with software leases.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Share-Based Compensation Share-Based Compensation
2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan

In April 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, Jackson Financial Inc.’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 OIP”). The 2021 OIP became effective upon the Company becoming an independent public company.

The 2021 OIP allows for stock-based awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted share awards, restricted share unit awards, performance share awards, and deferred share units. The 2021 OIP has a ten-year term, expiring in September 2031. The Company currently has restricted share unit and performance share unit equity-based compensation awards outstanding. Dividend equivalents generally accrue on restricted share units and performance share units outstanding as of the dividend record date. These dividend equivalents are accrued and are paid out only upon vesting of the related restricted share units and performance share units. Generally, the requisite service period is the vesting period. In the case of retirement (eligibility is based on the associate's age and years of service as provided in the relevant award agreement), awards vest in full but are subject to the satisfaction of any applicable performance criteria and paid in line with the original vesting date. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2021 OIP shall not exceed 11,000,000 shares paid out in cash, including shares withheld to cover associate payroll taxes, as well as shares that expire, terminate, or are canceled or forfeited, may be awarded or granted again under the 2021 OIP.

The Company reflects the cash settled awards under the 2021 OIP as a liability classified plan and, therefore, reports the accrued compensation expense and the value of the cash settled awards within other liabilities. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $132 million and $139 million, respectively, accrued for future payments under the 2021 OIP.
Restricted Share Units ("RSUs")

JFI grants RSUs to certain associates and non-employee directors. The majority of associate RSUs are expected to vest annually in three equal installments on the first through third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to forfeiture and transfer restrictions, and are payable in cash or shares at the Company’s discretion. For senior vice presidents and above, the awards are distributed only in shares. RSUs paid out in shares have immediate dividend rights and voting rights upon issuance of underlying shares when the share units vest. In lieu of cash dividend payments, the dividend equivalents on unvested RSUs are awarded in additional share units equal to the value of the dividends and are subject to the same vesting and distribution terms as the underlying RSU.

Outstanding unvested RSUs granted to associates were as follows:

Performance Share Units ("PSUs")

JFI grants PSUs to certain associates. PSU awards entitle recipients to receive, upon vesting, on a one-for-one basis, a number of shares ranging from 0% to 200% of the number of PSUs awarded, depending on the level of achievement of specified performance conditions. For PSUs granted in 2025 and 2024, the awards also include a vesting modifier based on the Company's performance relative to a defined peer group. The awards generally are expected to cliff vest after a period of three years, subject to forfeiture and transfer restrictions, and are payable in cash or shares at the Company’s discretion. For senior vice presidents and above, the awards are distributed only in shares. PSU award recipients have immediate dividend rights and voting rights upon issuance of underlying shares when the share units vest. The dividends on unvested PSUs are awarded in additional share units equal to the value of the dividends and are subject to the same vesting and distribution terms as the underlying PSUs.

Compensation Cost

JFI charges the fair value of the RSUs and PSUs to expense over the requisite service period. For performance-based awards, JFI estimates the number of shares expected to vest at the end of the performance period based on the probable achievement of the performance objectives. RSUs have graded vesting features and JFI recognizes expense for those awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur when recognizing share-based compensation expense.

For most of the equity-classified RSUs and PSUs, the fair value is based on the price of JFI’s common stock on the grant date. For PSU equity awards granted in 2025 and 2024, the Company measures fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation that considers the Company’s projected total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to a defined group of peers as well as other inputs to estimate the grant date fair value of the awards.

For liability-classified RSUs and most liability-classified PSUs, the fair value is based on the price of JFI’s common stock as of the reporting date. For PSU liability awards granted in 2023, the Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation that considers the Company’s projected TSR relative to a defined group of peers as well as other inputs to estimate the grant date fair value of the awards.

Total expense related to these share-based plans was as follows (in millions):

Insurance [Abstract]  
Statutory Accounting and Regulatory Matters Statutory Accounting and Regulatory Matters
The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the state of domicile. Statutory accounting practices primarily differ from U.S. GAAP by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred and establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, as well as valuing investments and certain assets and accounting for deferred income taxes on a different basis.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, Jackson’s statutory capital and surplus was $4.8 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively. Jackson had statutory net income (loss) of $1,590 million, $278 million, and $(122) million, in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Furthermore, at December 31, 2025 and 2024, Brooke Life’s statutory capital and surplus was $5.6 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively, which includes its total investments in Jackson and Brooke Re of $5.6 billion and $5.1 billion, in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Brooke Life’s statutory net income (loss) was $1,026 million, $713 million, and $385 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Brooke Life’s statutory net income included a dividend payment of $1,115 million and $830 million from Jackson in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company’s consolidated assets are primarily those of its life insurance subsidiary, Jackson. Under the Michigan Insurance Code, Jackson must notify the Michigan Director of Insurance prior to payment of any dividend. Ordinary dividends on capital stock are subject to a capacity calculation and may only be distributed out of earned surplus. Ordinary dividend capacity is limited to the greater of 10% of statutory surplus as of the preceding year end, excluding any increase arising from the application of permitted practices, or the statutory net income, excluding any net realized investment gains, for the twelve-month period ended on the preceding December 31, the result of which is reduced by cumulative dividends and other capital distributions occurring in the preceding twelve-month period. Earned surplus is reported unassigned surplus on the preceding December 31 reduced by any unrealized capital gains and effect of increase from the application of permitted practices, if any. The Michigan Director of Insurance may approve payment of dividends in excess of these amounts, which would be deemed an extraordinary dividend. As a result of cumulative dividends and other capital distributions occurring in the preceding 12 months as of December 31, 2025, future dividends from both Jackson and Brooke Life are expected to be classified as extraordinary. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries have received approval in the past for payments of extraordinary dividends.

In connection with the formation of Brooke Re, Jackson remitted a $1,920 million return of capital to its parent company, Brooke Life, in the first quarter of 2024. Brooke Life subsequently made a $1,870 million capital contribution to its subsidiary, Brooke Re. Brooke Re then recorded a $1.2 billion ceding commission to Jackson. In subsequent quarters of 2024, Jackson paid cumulative extraordinary dividends of $830 million to Brooke Life.

In connection with the formation of Hickory Re in 2025, Jackson Financial remitted a $150 million capital contribution which was down streamed to its subsidiary, Hickory Re.

Brooke Life paid cumulative returns of capital of $1,025 million and $785 million in 2025 and 2024, which were up streamed to its ultimate parent, Jackson Financial.
The NAIC has developed certain risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements for life insurance companies. Under those requirements, compliance is determined by a ratio of a company’s total adjusted capital (“TAC”), to its authorized control level RBC, each calculated in a manner prescribed by the NAIC. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The minimum level of TAC before corrective action commences is twice the authorized control level RBC (“Company action level RBC”). At December 31, 2025, Jackson and Brooke Life’s TAC remained well in excess of the Company action level RBC.

In addition, on the basis of statutory financial statements that insurers file with the state insurance regulators, the NAIC annually calculates twelve financial ratios to assist state regulators in monitoring the financial condition of insurance companies. A usual range of results for each ratio is used as a benchmark and departure from the usual range on four or more of the ratios can lead to inquiries from individual state insurance departments. In 2025 and 2024, there were no significant exceptions to any ratios.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
Benefit Plans Benefit Plans
Jackson has a defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all associates and certain affiliates. Associates are immediately eligible to participate in Jackson’s matching contribution. To be eligible to participate in Jackson’s profit-sharing contribution, an associate must have attained the age of 21, completed at least 1,000 hours of service in a 12-month period and passed their 12-month employment anniversary. In addition, the associate must be employed on the applicable January 1 or July 1 entry date. Jackson’s annual profit-sharing contributions, as declared by Jackson’s Board of Directors, are based on a percentage of eligible compensation paid to participating associates during the year. In addition, Jackson matches a participant’s elective contributions, up to 6 percent of eligible compensation, to the plan during the year. The expense related to this plan was $39 million, $37 million, and $34 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Jackson maintains non-qualified voluntary deferred compensation plans for certain associates and independent agents. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total aggregate liability for such plans was $481 million and $479 million, respectively, and was reported in other liabilities. The expense (income) related to these plans, including a match of elective deferrals for the agents’ deferred compensation plan and the change in value of participant elective deferrals, was $23 million, $48 million, and $58 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company began utilizing derivative instruments to economically hedge the equity market exposure related to the Company’s non-qualified voluntary deferred compensation plans. These derivative instruments are not designated as accounting hedges and are carried at fair value with gains or losses reported as a component of operating costs and other expenses, net of deferrals in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Equity [Abstract]  
Equity Equity
Preferred Stock

On March 13, 2023, the Company issued and sold 22,000,000 depositary shares (the “Depositary Shares”), each representing a 1/1,000th fractional interest in a share of the Company’s Fixed-Rate Reset Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, $25,000 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to $25 per Depositary Share), with a 5-year dividend rate reset period and noncumulative dividends (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). After underwriting discounts and expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $533 million.

The Series A Preferred Stock carries a dividend rate equal to i) from issuance to but excluding March 30, 2028, 8.000% per annum; and ii) from, and including, March 30, 2028, during each reset period, at a rate per annum equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the applicable reset dividend determination date plus 3.728%. The dividend is payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30, and commenced on June 30, 2023. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are not cumulative. Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, if the Company has not declared and paid, or declared and set aside a sum sufficient for the payment of, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for the immediately preceding dividend period, then the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions with respect to its common stock, or to repurchase or otherwise acquire its common stock, is subject to certain restrictions. Similar restrictions would apply in respect of any preferred stock ranking on parity with, or junior to, the Series A Preferred Stock, if any such preferred stock were to be issued by the Company.

We may, at our option, redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (a) in whole but not in part at any time prior to March 30, 2028, (i) within 90 days after the occurrence of a “rating agency event” at a redemption price equal to $25,500 per share (equivalent to $25.50 per Depositary Share), plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date, or (ii) within 90 days after the occurrence of a “regulatory capital event,” at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share (equivalent to $25 per Depositary Share), plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date, or (b) in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after March 30, 2028, at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share (equivalent to $25 per Depositary Share), plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date. If we redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, a proportionate number of Depositary Shares will be redeemed. Holders of Depositary Shares have no right to require the redemption or repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Depositary Shares.

The net proceeds from the sale were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of senior notes that matured in November 2023.

The following table presents the declaration date, record date, payment date and dividends paid per preferred share of, and per depositary share representing, the Series A Preferred Stock:

TPG Transaction

On February 11, 2026, Jackson Financial and TPG completed the transaction announced on January 6, 2026, resulting in TPG acquiring a $500 million equity stake in Jackson Financial. See Note 25 – Subsequent Events for more information.

Share Repurchase Program

On September 18, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized an increase of $1 billion in our existing authorization to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock as part of the Company's share repurchase program. As of February 18, 2026, the Company had remaining authorization to purchase $903 million of its common shares.

The Company expects to repurchase common shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing, form and amount of the share repurchases under the program are at the discretion of management and will depend on a variety of factors, including funds available at the Company, other potential uses for such funds, market conditions, the Company's capital position, legal requirements and other factors. The repurchase program may be modified, extended or terminated by the Board at any time. It does not have an expiration date. There can be no assurance that we will continue share repurchases or approve any further increase to our current, or approve any new, stock repurchase program, or any assurance to the amount of any repurchases that may be made pursuant to such programs.

Through December 31, 2025, we have incurred $10 million of excise tax in connection with share repurchases that exceeded stock issuances. The excise tax incurred was recognized as part of the cost basis of the treasury stock acquired and not reported as income tax expense.

The following table represents share repurchase activities as part of our share repurchase program:

Dividends to Shareholders

Any declaration of cash dividends on common stock will be at the discretion of JFI’s Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, earnings, liquidity and capital requirements, regulatory constraints, level of indebtedness, preferred stock, contractual restrictions with respect to paying cash dividends, restrictions imposed by Delaware law, general business conditions and any other factors that JFI’s Board of Directors deems relevant in making any such determination. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will pay any cash dividends to holders of our stock or as to the amount of any such cash dividend.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

We have an enterprise-wide risk management framework for identifying, assessing, managing, monitoring, and reporting our material risks, including cybersecurity risks. Our risk identification and risk and control self-assessment process assesses the potential likelihood and impact of, among other things, cybersecurity risks to the Company, and the control environment in place to mitigate identified risks. See Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Information Technology, Security, Artificial Intelligence, and Data” for a description of the cybersecurity risks we face.

The Company is committed to attaining the highest standards for information security and data privacy programs through disciplined governance and risk management practices.

We have a written JFI Information Security Policy setting forth our expectations with respect to the receipt, handling and management of information, and setting forth our process, procedures and standards for achieving those expectations. Our Information Security Policy is reviewed and updated by management at least annually, to align with multiple industry standards, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cyber Security Framework and relevant state regulations, including New York’s Department of Financial Services Cybersecurity Requirements for Financial Services Companies, and federal regulatory requirements. The JFI Privacy Policy is also annually reviewed and updated by management to align with industry best practices and state and federal regulatory requirements.
Our cybersecurity program includes a threat and vulnerability management program to identify, assess, prevent, detect, monitor and remediate internal and external threats to, and vulnerabilities of, the Company’s electronic systems, applications and data. Key components of this security program include a 24/7 Security Operations Center, which is managed internally at Jackson, with staff augmentation from third-party service vendors. The Security Operations Center monitors threats and attacks and initiates the incident response management process and associated notifications, as needed. In addition to monitoring threats and attacks, our internal management team reviews daily external threat intelligence and oversees, at least quarterly, external penetration testing of our Company’s electronic systems. We provide training to all associates and regularly audit and assess our program with both internal and external resources, and through benchmarking studies and assessments against our Information Security and Privacy Policies and Standards.

We have a third-party vendor management program that oversees the identification and assessment of cybersecurity risk for the Company’s use of all third-party service providers. This program evaluates third-party vendors based on their level of access to the Company’s data and the level of potential risk the third-party service providers create for the organization through reviews of their security program and systems architecture. The Company identifies monitoring and mitigating controls and implements such controls where appropriate for any identified risks, including adding robust security terms in agreed contracts. We also monitor and periodically reassess third-party service vendors to ensure controls are maintained to expectations.

Cybersecurity Incidents
We are not aware of any material cybersecurity events that are likely to have a material effect on our business strategy, results of operation or financial condition.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Reclassifications Certain amounts in the 2024 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2025 presentation.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates or assumptions, as further discussed in these notes, include:

Valuation of investments and derivative instruments, including fair values of securities deemed to be in an illiquid market and the determination of when an impairment is necessary;
Assumptions used in calculating policy reserves and liabilities, including policyholder behavior, mortality rates, expenses, investment returns and policy crediting rates;
Estimates related to expectations of credit losses on certain financial assets and off-balance sheet exposures;
Assumptions and estimates associated with the Company’s tax positions, including an estimate of the dividends received deduction, which impact the amount of recognized tax benefits recorded by the Company, and assumptions as to future earnings levels being sufficient to realize deferred tax benefits;
Assumptions used in calculating market risk benefits, including policyholder behavior, mortality rates, and capital market assumptions; and
Assumptions impacting the expected term used in amortizing deferred acquisition costs, including policyholder behavior and mortality rates.
These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other appropriate factors. As facts and circumstances evolve, these estimates and assumptions may be adjusted. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. The effects of changes in estimates and assumptions, including those resulting from changing expectations with respect to the economic environment, will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements covering the periods in which the estimates are changed.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily include money market instruments and bank deposits. Cash equivalents also include
all highly liquid securities and other investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less
at the date of purchase.
Revenue and Expense Recognition
Revenue and Expense Recognition

Premiums for traditional life insurance and limited-payment insurance contracts are reported as revenues when due. Benefits, claims and expenses are associated with earned revenues in order to recognize profit over the lives of the contracts. This association is accomplished through provisions for future policy benefits and the deferral and amortization of certain acquisition costs.

Deposits on interest-sensitive life products and investment contracts, principally deferred annuities and guaranteed investment contracts, are treated as policyholder deposits and excluded from revenue. Revenues consist primarily of investment income and charges assessed against the account value for mortality charges, surrenders, variable annuity benefit guarantees and administrative expenses. Fee income also includes revenues related to asset management fees and certain service fees. Surrender benefits are treated as repayments of the policyholder account. Annuity benefit payments are treated as reductions to the policyholder account. Death benefits in excess of the policyholder account are recognized as an expense when incurred. Expenses consist primarily of the interest credited to policyholder deposits. Acquisition expenses directly related to the successful acquisition of these contracts are deferred. These deferred acquisition costs are amortized on a constant-level basis over the expected term of the contracts. Expenses not related to policy acquisition are recognized when incurred.
Management Fees Based on a Formula
Management Fees Based on a Formula

PPM receives an investment management fee for services as an asset manager for various entities. Revenue for these services is measured based on the terms specified in a customer's contract and is recognized when PPM satisfies a performance obligation. These investment management fees are recognized ratably over the period that assets are managed, and when the probability of significant revenue reversal is remote. PPM also receives performance-based incentive fees from certain entities for which it invests based on predetermined formulas. Performance related management fees are earned over a specified period and can result in additional fees. These fees are recognized at the end of the specified period, once the fees are fixed, determinable, not subject to further performance metrics, and probability of significant revenue reversal is remote.
New Accounting Pronouncements – Adopted and Issued but Not Yet Adopted
New Accounting Pronouncements – Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which enhances annual income tax disclosures by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. Effective for the annual period ended December 31, 2025, the Company adopted this ASU retrospectively and restated disclosures for prior periods. The adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The required disclosures under this ASU are included in Note 15 – Income Taxes.

New Accounting Pronouncements – Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40),” which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU requires footnote disclosure about specific types of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement and the total amount of selling expenses on an annual and interim basis. The entity is also required to disclose its definition of selling expenses in annual reporting periods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance and determining the transition method and the timing of adoption.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-use Software.” Under the new standard, an entity will start capitalizing eligible software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The amendments can be applied on a fully prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or a fully retrospective basis. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance and determining the transition method and the timing of adoption.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans,” which requires certain purchased seasoned loans acquired without credit deterioration be accounted for using the gross-up approach in Topic 326 that is currently applied to purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD”) financial assets. Under the gross-up approach, the initial allowance for credit losses is established by increasing the amortized cost basis of the loan rather than recognizing a charge to credit loss expense. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual reporting period in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance and the timing of adoption.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements”, which provides additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods including disclosure of events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance and determining the transition method and the timing of adoption.

(1) Mortality rates vary by attained age, guaranteed benefit election, and duration. The range displayed reflects ages from the minimum issue age for the benefit through age 95, which corresponds to the typical maturity age. A mortality improvement assumption is also applied.
(2) Base lapse rates vary by contract-level factors, such as product type, surrender charge schedule and guaranteed benefits election. Lapse rates are further adjusted based on the degree to which a guaranteed benefit is in-the-money, with lower lapse applying when benefits are more in-the-money. Lapse rates are also adjusted to reflect lower lapse expectations when guaranteed benefits are utilized.
(3 The utilization rate represents the expected percentage of contracts that will utilize the benefit through annuitization (GMIB) or commencement of withdrawals (GMWB). Utilization may vary by benefit type, attained age, duration, tax qualification status, benefit provision, and degree to which the guaranteed benefit is in-the-money.
(4) The withdrawal rate represents the percentage of annual withdrawal assumed relative to the maximum allowable withdrawal amount under the free partial withdrawal provision or the GMWB, as applicable. Free partial withdrawal rates vary based on the product type, duration, and GMAB election. Withdrawal rates on contracts with a GMWB vary based on attained age, tax qualification status, GMWB type and GMWB benefit provisions.
(5) Non-performance risk adjustment is applied as a spread over the risk-free rate to determine the rate used to discount the related cash flows and varies by projection year.
(6) Long-term equity volatility represents the equity volatility beyond the period for which observable equity volatilities are available.

(3) The utilization rate represents the expected percentage of contracts that will utilize the benefit through annuitization (GMIB) or commencement of withdrawals (GMWB). Utilization may vary by benefit type, attained age, duration, tax qualification status, benefit provision, and degree to which the guaranteed benefit is in-the-money.
(4) The withdrawal rate represents the percentage of annual withdrawal assumed relative to the maximum allowable withdrawal amount under the free partial withdrawal provision or the GMWB, as applicable. Free partial withdrawal rates vary based on the product type and duration. Withdrawal rates on contracts with a GMWB vary based on attained age, tax qualification status, GMWB type and GMWB benefit provisions.
(5) Non-performance risk adjustment is applied as a spread over the risk-free rate to determine the rate used to discount the related cash flows and varies by projection year.
(6) Long-term equity volatility represents the equity volatility beyond the period for which observable equity volatilities are available.
Schedule of Rollforwards of Financial Instruments for Which Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) are Used - Assets
The tables below provide roll-forwards for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 of the financial instruments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are used in the fair value measurement. Gains and losses in the tables below include changes in fair value due partly to observable and unobservable factors. The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage the risk associated with certain assets and liabilities. However, the derivative instruments hedging the related risks may not be classified within the same fair value hierarchy level as the associated assets and liabilities. Therefore, the impact of the derivative instruments reported in Level 3 may vary significantly from the total income effect of the hedged instruments.
