This material has been prepared solely for informational purposes, and is not an offer to buy or sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any security, product, service or investment. The opinions expressed in this material do not constitute investment advice and independent advice should be sought where appropriate. All information and opinions expressed herein are current as of publication and are subject to change without notice.

Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP Financial Information The historical and forward-looking financial information presented at this conference and contained in these presentations include performance measures which are based on methodologies other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). MetLife analyzes its performance using so-called non-GAAP measures, including operating earnings, operating earnings available to common shareholders, operating earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share and operating return on common equity. MetLife believes these measures enhance the understanding and comparability of its performance by excluding net investment gains and losses, net of income tax, and adjustments related to net investment gains and losses, net of income tax, both of which can fluctuate significantly from period to period, the impact of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting, net of income tax, and discontinued operations other than discontinued real estate, net of income tax, thereby highlighting the results from operations and the underlying profitability drivers of the business. Operating earnings is defined as GAAP net income, excluding net investment gains and losses, net of income tax, adjustments related to net investment gains and losses, net of income tax, the impact of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting, net of income tax, and discontinued operations other than discontinued real estate, net of income tax. Scheduled settlement payments on derivative instruments not qualifying for hedge accounting treatment are included in operating earnings. Operating earnings available to common shareholders is defined as operating earnings less preferred stock dividends, which are recorded in Corporate & Other. All references in these slides and in the presentations made at this conference to "operating earnings" for the years indicated in these slides and future years should be read as references to "operating earnings available to common shareholders." Operating earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share is calculated by dividing operating earnings available to common shareholders (as defined above) by the number of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the period indicated. All references in these slides and in the presentations made at this conference to "operating earnings per share" for the years indicated in these slides and future years should be read as references to "operating earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share."

Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP Financial Information (Continued) Operating return on common equity is calculated by dividing operating earnings available to common shareholders (as defined above) by average common equity for the period indicated, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income. For the historical periods presented, reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used in the presentations made at this conference to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the Appendix to the presentation materials and are available on the Investor Relations portion of the Company's website (www.metlife.com). Additional information about MetLife's historical financial results is available in the Company's Quarterly Financial Supplements which may be accessed through the Investor Relations portion of the Company's website. The non-GAAP measures used in the presentations made at this conference should not be viewed as substitutes for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. In the presentations made at this conference, MetLife provides guidance on its future earnings, earnings per share and return on common equity on an operating, non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not accessible on a forward-looking basis because MetLife believes it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of net investment gains and losses, which can fluctuate significantly from period to period and may have a significant impact on GAAP net income.

Appendix TOKYO INVESTOR CONFERENCE 2 0 0 8

Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP Financial Information The historical and forward-looking financial information presented at this conference and contained in these presentations include performance measures which are based on methodologies other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). MetLife analyzes its performance using so-called non-GAAP measures, including operating earnings, operating earnings available to common shareholders, operating earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share and operating return on common equity. MetLife believes these measures enhance the understanding and comparability of its performance by excluding net investment gains and losses, net of income tax, and adjustments related to net investment gains and losses, net of income tax, both of which can fluctuate significantly from period to period, the impact of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting, net of income tax, and discontinued operations other than discontinued real estate, net of income tax, thereby highlighting the results from operations and the underlying profitability drivers of the business. Operating earnings is defined as GAAP net income, excluding net investment gains and losses, net of income tax, adjustments related to net investment gains and losses, net of income tax, the impact of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting, net of income tax, and discontinued operations other than discontinued real estate, net of income tax. Scheduled settlement payments on derivative instruments not qualifying for hedge accounting treatment are included in operating earnings. Operating earnings available to common shareholders is defined as operating earnings less preferred stock dividends, which are recorded in Corporate & Other. All references in these slides and in the presentations made at this conference to "operating earnings" for the years indicated in these slides and future years should be read as references to "operating earnings available to common shareholders." Operating earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share is calculated by dividing operating earnings available to common shareholders (as defined above) by the number of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the period indicated. All references in these slides and in the presentations made at this conference to "operating earnings per share" for the years indicated in these slides and future years should be read as references to "operating earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share."

Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP Financial Information (Continued) Operating return on common equity is calculated by dividing operating earnings available to common shareholders (as defined above) by average common equity for the period indicated, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income. For the historical periods presented, reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used in the presentations made at this conference to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the Appendix to the presentation materials and are available on the Investor Relations portion of the Company's website (www.metlife.com). Additional information about MetLife's historical financial results is available in the Company's Quarterly Financial Supplements which may be accessed through the Investor Relations portion of the Company's website. The non-GAAP measures used in the presentations made at this conference should not be viewed as substitutes for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. In the presentations made at this conference, MetLife provides guidance on its future earnings, earnings per share and return on common equity on an operating, non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not accessible on a forward-looking basis because MetLife believes it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of net investment gains and losses, which can fluctuate significantly from period to period and may have a significant impact on GAAP net income.

Reconciliation of Net Income Available to Common Shareholders to Operating Earnings Available to Common Shareholders & Normalized Operating Earnings * Adjustments related to net investment gains (losses), net of income tax, includes amortization of unearned revenue and deferred policy acquisition costs, adjustments to the policyholder obligation and amounts allocable to certain participating contracts. ** Adjustments related to normalized items include, but are not limited to, tax adjustments, reserve adjustments, premium recoverables and other liability write-offs.
