Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP Financial

Information

In

this

presentation,

MetLife

presents

certain

measures

of

its

performance

that

are

not

calculated

in

accordance

with

accounting

principles

generally

accepted

in

the

United

States

of

America

(“GAAP”).

MetLife

believes

that

these

non-GAAP

financial

measures

enhance

the

understanding

of

MetLife’s

performance

by

highlighting

the

results

of

operations

and

the

underlying

profitability

drivers

of

the

business.

The

following

non-GAAP

financial

measures

should

not

be

viewed

as

substitutes

for

the

most

directly

comparable

financial

measures

calculated

in

accordance

with

GAAP:

Reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in this presentation and in this period’s quarterly financial supplement, which is

available at www.metlife.com.

Non-GAAP financial measures:

Comparable GAAP financial measures:

(i)

operating earnings available to common shareholders

(i)

net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders

(i)

net income

(loss); and

(i)

net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders; and

(ii)

These measures are used by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Consistent with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, operating earnings is also

MetLife’s GAAP measure of segment performance. Operating earnings and other financial measures based on operating earnings are also the measures by which MetLife senior

management’s and many other employees’ performance is evaluated for the purposes of determining their compensation under applicable compensation plans. Operating earnings

and other financial measures based on operating earnings allow analysis of our performance relative to our business plan and facilitate comparisons to industry results.

These financial measures, along with the related operating premiums, fees and other revenues, focus on our primary businesses principally by excluding the impact of market

volatility, which could distort trends, and revenues and costs related to non-core products and divested businesses and certain entities required to be consolidated under GAAP.

Also, these measures exclude results of discontinued operations and other businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife and are referred to as divested

businesses. In addition, for the year ended March 31, 2016, operating revenues and operating expenses exclude the financial impact of converting MetLife’s Japan operations to

calendar-year end reporting without retrospective application of this change to prior periods and is referred to as lag elimination. Operating revenues also excludes net investment

gains (losses) (NIGL) and net derivative gains (losses) (NDGL). Operating expenses also excludes goodwill impairments.

•

Universal life and investment-type product policy fees excludes the amortization of unearned revenue related to NIGL and NDGL and certain variable annuity 

guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB) fees (GMIB fees);

•

Net investment income: (i) includes earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of investments or that are used to

replicate certain investments but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment (“investment hedge adjustments”), (ii) excludes post-tax operating earnings

adjustments relating to insurance joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, (iii) excludes certain amounts related to contractholder-directed unit-linked

investments, and (iv) excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are variable interest entities (VIEs) consolidated under GAAP; and

•

Other revenues are adjusted for settlements of foreign currency earnings hedges.

The following additional adjustments are made to revenues, in the line items indicated, in calculating operating revenues:

•

Policyholder benefits and claims and policyholder dividends excludes: (i) changes in the policyholder dividend obligation related to NIGL and NDGL, (ii) inflation-

indexed benefit adjustments associated with contracts backed by inflation-indexed investments and amounts associated with periodic crediting rate adjustments

based on the total return of a contractually referenced pool of assets and other pass through adjustments, (iii) benefits and hedging costs related to GMIBs (GMIB

costs), and (iv) market value adjustments associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts (Market value adjustments);

•

Interest credited to policyholder account balances includes adjustments for earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives that are

hedges of policyholder account balances but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and excludes amounts related to net investment income earned on

contractholder-directed unit-linked investments;

•

Amortization of DAC and value of business acquired (VOBA) excludes amounts related to: (i) NIGL and NDGL, (ii) GMIB fees and GMIB costs and (iii) Market value

adjustments;

•

Amortization of negative VOBA excludes amounts related to Market value adjustments;

•

Interest expense on debt excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP; and

•

Other operating expenses excludes costs related to: (i) noncontrolling interests, (ii) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements, and (iii) acquisition,

integration and other costs.

Operating earnings also excludes the recognition of certain contingent assets and liabilities that could not be recognized at acquisition or adjusted for during the measurement

period under GAAP business combination accounting guidance.

The tax impact of the adjustments mentioned above are calculated net of the U.S. or foreign statutory tax rate, which could differ from the Company’s effective tax rate. 

Additionally, the provision for income tax (expense) benefit also includes the impact related to the timing of certain tax credits, as well as certain tax reforms.

The following additional information is relevant to an understanding of MetLife’s performance results:

•

Asymmetrical and non-economic accounting refer to: (i) the portion of net derivative gains (losses) on embedded derivatives attributable to the inclusion of MetLife’s

credit spreads in the liability valuations, (ii) hedging activity that generates net derivative gains (losses) and creates fluctuations in net income because hedge

accounting cannot be achieved and the item being hedged does not a have an offsetting gain or loss recognized in earnings, (iii) inflation-indexed benefit

adjustments associated with contracts backed by inflation-indexed investments and amounts associated with periodic crediting rate adjustments based on the total

return of a contractually referenced pool of assets and other pass through adjustments, and (iv) impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the re-

measurement of foreign denominated unhedged funding agreements and financing transactions to the U.S. dollar and the re-measurement of certain liabilities from

non-functional currencies to functional currencies. MetLife believes that excluding the impact of asymmetrical and non-economic accounting from total GAAP results

enhances investor understanding of MetLife’s performance by disclosing how these accounting practices affect reported GAAP results.

The following additional adjustments are made to expenses, in the line items indicated, in calculating operating expenses:
