• Record asset growth: Record assets under management (AUM) were $49.5 billion as of December 31, 2023, an increase of 14% from $43.6 billion in the prior year, driven by new business flows, stable inforce retention and net debt proceeds over the past twelve months.

For the full year, F&G returned $119 million of capital to shareholders, including $101 million of common dividends paid and $18 million of share repurchases. As announced last week, the Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share, payable March 29, 2024, to shareholders of record as of March 15, 2024
• Strong solvency: Estimated risk-based capital (RBC) ratio for our primary operating subsidiary of approximately 440% as of December 31, 2023, well above our 400% target

• Ratings momentum: On January 12, 2024, A.M. Best upgraded the financial strength ratings of F&G's primary operating companies to 'A' (Excellent) from 'A-' (Excellent), recognizing the financial strength and stability of F&G's business as we execute on our diversified growth strategy
• FNF's $250M Investment in F&G: On January 16, 2024, F&G announced the closing of $250 million mandatory convertible preferred stock investment from its parent Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (FNF); F&G will use net proceeds from the investment to support the growth of its assets under management

Chris Blunt, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I could not be more proud of our accomplishments over the last year as highlighted by record sales, which lifted our assets under management to $49.5 billion, also a record level for F&G. As we have grown, we have remained focused on our customers and were very pleased to have been voted #1 for customer satisfaction among U.S annuity providers by J.D. Power, an important accomplishment for our entire team and a reflection of the positive culture we've established at F&G. In addition, our inforce book remained steady and predictable throughout the year, for both assets and liabilities, even as markets became increasingly volatile. Our financial results and balance sheet strength were recognized by rating upgrades from A.M. Best and Moody's, which will provide an uplift to our organic growth. Importantly, we are well positioned to drive continued profitable growth and capture the market opportunity that lies ahead."

Mr. Blunt continued, "Looking at our fourth quarter results in more detail, they were impacted by the interest rate volatility that the annuities industry experienced as rates fell dramatically through the end of the year. The long- term outlook for our business remains unchanged. I remain optimistic, as we outlined in our recent Investor Day, that we can deliver double digit sales growth in 2024 supported by the launch of our RILA product earlier this month. Additionally, the drivers to continued margin expansion remain firmly in place as we effectively manage our operating expenses, benefit from enhanced investment margin opportunities, and grow the earnings power of F&G. Lastly, we are well positioned to continue to execute on our owned distribution strategy, which further strengthens our distribution relationships and gives us a diversifying source of additional earnings over time. In short, I could not be more excited about the future of our company as we enter 2024."

• Adjusted net earnings for the full year 2023 included $405 million, or $3.24 per share, of investment income from alternative investments and $51 million, or $0.41 per share, of net significant expense items (comprised of $37 million tax valuation allowance, $10 million of one-time fixed asset impairment charge, $9 million actuarial industry assumption update, partially offset by $5 million bond prepay income). Alternative investments investment income based on management's long-term expected retuof approximately 10% was $558 million, or $4.46 per share.
• Adjusted net earnings for the full year 2022 included $202 million, or $1.75 per share, of investment income from alternative investments and $99 million, or $0.85 per share, of significant income items (comprised of $66 million gain from actuarial assumption updates, $20 million net tax benefits and $13 million CLO redemption gains and other).

As compared to the prior year, adjusted net earnings reflect asset growth, product margin expansion and accretive flow reinsurance fees, partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to planned capital market activity and higher operating costs in line with our growth in sales and assets and continued investments in our operating platform.

Capital and Liquidity Highlights

GAAP book value excluding AOCI was $5.1 billion or $40.42 per share, based on 126 million common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2023. This reflects a decrease of $2.88 or 7% during the quarter, including $0.50 per share decrease from capital actions and $2.93 per share net decrease for mark-to-market movements; partially offset by $0.55 per share increase from adjusted net earnings and other.

The debt-to-capitalization ratio, excluding AOCI, was 25.7% as of December 31, 2023. This is in line with our long-term target of approximately 25% and we expect that our balance sheet will naturally delever as a result of growth in total equity, excluding AOCI.

• On November 29, 2023, F&G issued $345 million of 7.95% senior unsecured notes due in 2053. Net proceeds from the senior notes will be used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes, including the support of growth opportunities.
• As of December 31, 2023, F&G's consolidated debt was $1.8 billion, up $0.2 billion from the preceding quarter primarily due to F&G's senior note issuance and partial revolver paydown in December.
