The net loss of $35 million was comprised of a $59 million loss on the fixed maturity securities supporting the funds withheld liability to recognize unrealized losses which had been included in AOCI since the inception of the coinsurance agreement, partially offset by a $24 million gain on the associated embedded derivative. Taken together, this net loss was the final recognition of changes in the valuation of the funds held assets and offsets previously recognized net investment gains on the associated embedded derivative. The coinsurance agreement was novated in the fourth quarter of 2022. The components of available-for-sale impairment losses (gains) recognized in earnings by asset type are presented in the following table. The table includes losses (gains) on securities with an intention to sell and changes in the allowance for credit losses on securities since acquisition date: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 (In millions) Fixed maturity securities available-for-sale: Corporate and other bonds $ 8 $ 24 $ 25 $ 53 Asset-backed 4 1 12 2 Impairment losses recognized in earnings $ 12 $ 25 $ 37 $ 55 T here were $5 million and $11 million of losses recognized on mortgage loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to changes in expected credit losses.

September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Estimated Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Estimated Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses (In millions) U.S. Government, Government agencies and Government-sponsored enterprises $ 2,620 $ 466 $ 2,355 $ 337 AAA 1,893 382 1,559 298 AA 4,458 1,037 4,327 817 A 7,240 913 6,615 749 BBB 13,704 1,881 13,226 1,621 Non-investment grade 1,202 209 1,429 234 Total $ 31,117 $ 4,888 $ 29,511 $ 4,056 Based on current facts and circumstances, the unrealized losses presented in the September 30, 2023 securities in the gross unrealized loss position table above are not believed to be indicative of the ultimate collectibility of the current amortized cost of the securities, but rather are primarily attributable to changes in risk-free interest rates. In reaching this determination, the continued volatility in risk-free rates and credit spreads, as well as the fact that the unrealized losses are concentrated in investment grade issuers, were considered. Additionally, there is no current intent to sell securities with unrealized losses, nor is it more likely than not that sale will be required prior to recovery of amortized cost; accordingly, it was determined that there are no additional impairment losses to be recorded as of September 30, 2023. The following tables present the activity related to the allowance on available-for-sale securities with credit impairments and purchased credit-deteriorated (“PCD”) assets. Accrued interest receivables on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities totaled $430 million, $394 million and $401 million as of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 and are excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses and the amortized cost basis in the tables within this Note.

Securities not due at a single date are allocated based on weighted average life. Mortgage Loans The following table presents the amortized cost basis of mortgage loans for each credit quality indicator by year of origination. The primary credit quality indicators utilized are debt service coverage ratios (“DSCR”) and loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios.

Derivative Financial Instruments A summary of the aggregate contractual or notional amounts and gross estimated fair values related to derivative financial instruments follows. The contractual or notional amounts for derivatives are used to calculate the exchange of contractual payments under related agreements and may not be representative of the potential for gain or loss on these instruments. Gross estimated fair values of derivative positions are currently presented in Equity securities, Receivables and Payable to brokers on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

These investments are recorded once funded, and the related commitments may include future capital calls from various third-party limited partnerships, signed and accepted mortgage loan applications and obligations related to private placement securities. As of September 30, 2023, commitments to purchase or fund were approximately $1.6 billion and to sell were approximately $65 million under the terms of these investments. |
