(2) These notable items represent a positive (negative) impact to adjusted earnings available to common shareholders and adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per common share - diluted. The per share data for each notable item is calculated on a standalone basis and may not sum to total notable items. Notable Items reflect the unexpected impact of events that affect MetLife's results, but that were unknown and that MetLife could not anticipate when it devised its Business Plan. Notable Items also include certain items regardless of the extent anticipated in the Business Plan to help investors have a better understanding of MetLife's results and to evaluate and forecast those results.

(1) This yield table presentation is consistent with how we measure our investment performance for management purposes, and we believe it enhances understanding of our investment portfolio results. We calculate yields using investment income, as reported on an adjusted basis, as a percent of average quarterly asset carrying values. Investment income excludes recognized gains and losses, includes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and reflects the adjustments described on Page A-7 and presented on Page A-1. Asset carrying values exclude unrealized gains (losses), collateral received in connection with our securities lending program, annuities funding structured settlement claims, freestanding derivative assets, collateral received from derivative counterparties, the effects of consolidating under GAAP certain VIEs that are treated as CSEs, contractholder-directed unit-linked investments and FVO Brighthouse common stock. A yield is not presented for other invested assets, as it is not considered a meaningful measure of performance for this asset class.
 
(2) Fixed maturity securities includes $713 million, $865 million, $936 million, $660 million and $680 million in ending carrying value, and $16 million, $7 million, $6 million, $8 million and $11 million of investment income related to fair value option securities at or for the three months ended September 30, 2017, December 31,2017, March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively.
 
(3) The following yield table line items differ from their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as indicated: (A) Fixed maturity securities, which includes contractholder-directed equity securities and fair value option securities, ending carrying value excludes (i) contractholder-directed unit-linked investments and FVO Brighthouse common stock of $15,818 million, $15,874 million, $15,502 million, $13,182 million and $12,855 million and (ii) the effects of consolidating under GAAP certain VIEs that are treated as CSEs of $7 million, $6 million, $6 million, $6 million and $5 million at September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively; B) Net investment income, as reported on an adjusted basis, reflects the adjustments as presented on Page 5; C) Investment portfolio gains (losses), reflects the non-GAAP adjustments as presented below; and D) Derivative gains (losses), reflects the non-GAAP adjustments as presented below:

(1) This yield table presentation is consistent with how we measure our investment performance for management purposes, and we believe it enhances understanding of our investment portfolio results. We calculate yields using investment income, as reported on an adjusted basis, as a percent of average quarterly asset carrying values. Investment income excludes recognized gains and losses, includes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and reflects the adjustments described on Page A-7 and presented on Page A-1. Asset carrying values exclude unrealized gains (losses), collateral received in connection with our securities lending program, annuities funding structured settlement claims, freestanding derivative assets, collateral received from derivative counterparties, the effects of consolidating under GAAP certain VIEs that are treated as CSEs, contractholder-directed unit-linked investments and FVO Brighthouse common stock. A yield is not presented for other invested assets, as it is not considered a meaningful measure of performance for this asset class.
 
(2) Fixed maturity securities includes $713 million, $865 million, $936 million, $660 million and $680 million in ending carrying value, and $61 million, $68 million, $6 million, $14 million and $25 million of investment income related to fair value option securities at or for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively.
 
(3) The following yield table line items differ from their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as indicated: (A) Fixed maturity securities, which includes contractholder-directed equity securities and fair value option securities, ending carrying value excludes (i) contractholder-directed unit-linked investments and FVO Brighthouse common stock of $15,818 million, $15,874 million, $15,502 million, $13,182 million and $12,855 million and (ii) the effects of consolidating under GAAP certain VIEs that are treated as CSEs of $7 million, $6 million, $6 million, $6 million and $5 million at September 30, 2017, December 31,2017, March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively; B) Net investment income, as reported on an adjusted basis, reflects the adjustments as presented on Page 5; C) Investment portfolio gains (losses), reflects the non-GAAP adjustments as presented below; and D) Derivative gains (losses), reflects the non-GAAP adjustments as presented below:

(1) Amounts presented are based on ratings of NRSRO and the applicable NAIC designation from the NAIC published comparison of NRSRO ratings to NAIC designations, except for certain structured securities described below. NRSRO ratings are based on availability of applicable ratings. If no NRSRO rating is available, then an internally developed rating is used. Amounts presented for certain structured securities (i.e., non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities) held by MetLife, Inc.'s insurance subsidiaries that maintain the NAIC statutory basis of accounting reflect designations based on revised NAIC methodologies. The NAIC's present methodology is to evaluate structured securities held by insurers using the revised NAIC methodologies on an annual basis. An internally developed designation is used until a final designation becomes available from the NAIC annual review. These revised NAIC designations may not correspond to NRSRO ratings.
 
(2) MetLife's review of its fixed maturity securities for impairments includes an analysis of the total gross unrealized losses by three categories of securities: (i) securities where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost by less than 20%; (ii) securities where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost by 20% or more for less than six months; and (iii) securities where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost by 20% or more for six months or greater.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this QFS and in this period’s earnings news release which is available at www.metlife.com.

Our definitions of the various non-GAAP and other financial measures discussed in this QFS may differ from those used by other companies:

Adjusted earnings and related measures
 
 
 
 
adjusted earnings;
 
adjusted earnings available to common shareholders; and
 
adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share.
 
 
 
 
 
 
These measures are used by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Consistent with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, adjusted earnings is also MetLife’s GAAP measure of segment performance. Adjusted earnings and other financial measures based on adjusted 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. Adjusted earnings and other financial measures based on adjusted earnings allow analysis of our performance relative to our business plan and facilitate comparisons to industry results.

Adjusted earnings is defined as adjusted revenues less adjusted expenses, net of income tax. Adjusted earnings available to common shareholders is defined as adjusted earnings less preferred stock dividends.

Adjusted revenues and adjusted expenses

These financial measures, along with the related adjusted 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 certain entities required to be consolidated under GAAP. Also, these measures exclude results of discontinued operations under GAAP and other businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife but do not meet the discontinued operations criteria under GAAP (“Divested businesses”). Divested businesses also includes the net impact of transactions with exited businesses that have been eliminated in consolidation under GAAP and costs relating to businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife that do not meet the criteria to be included in results of discontinued operations under GAAP. Adjusted revenues also excludes NIGL and NDGL. Adjusted expenses also excludes goodwill impairments.

METLIFE
NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)
 
Adjusted revenues and adjusted expenses (continued)
 
The following additional adjustments are made to revenues, in the line items indicated, in calculating adjusted revenues:
 
Universal life and investment-type product policy fees excludes the amortization of unearned revenue related to NIGL and NDGL (“Unearned revenue adjustments”) and certain variable annuity 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 adjusted earnings adjustments relating to insurance joint ventures accounted for under the equity method (“Operating joint venture adjustments”), (iii) excludes certain amounts related to contractholder-directed unit-linked investments (“Unit-linked contract income”), (iv) excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP (“Securitization entities income”), and (v) includes distributions of profits from certain other limited partnership interests that were previously accounted for under the cost method, but are now accounted for at estimated fair value, where the change in estimated fair value is recognized in NIGL for GAAP ("Certain partnership distributions"); and
 
Other revenues is adjusted for settlements of foreign currency earnings hedges and excludes fees received in association with services provided under transition service agreements ("TSA fees").
 
 
 
The following additional adjustments are made to expenses, in the line items indicated, in calculating adjusted expenses:
 
Policyholder benefits and claims and policyholder dividends excludes: (i) changes in the policyholder dividend obligation related to NIGL and NDGL (“PDO adjustments”), (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 (“Inflation and 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 (“PAB hedge adjustments”) and excludes amounts related to net investment income earned on contractholder-directed unit-linked investments (“Unit-linked contract costs”);
 
Amortization of DAC and 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 (“Securitization entities debt expense”); and
 
Other expenses excludes costs related to: (i) noncontrolling interests, (ii) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements (“Regulatory implementation costs”) and (iii) acquisition, integration and other costs. Other expenses includes TSA fees.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Adjusted 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 MetLife'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.
 
Investment portfolio gains (losses) and derivative gains (losses)

These are measures of investment and hedging activity. Investment portfolio gains (losses) principally excludes amounts that are reported within net investment gains (losses) but do not relate to the performance of the investment portfolio, such as gains (losses) on sales and divestitures of businesses, goodwill impairment or changes in estimated fair value. Derivative gains (losses) principally excludes earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives, where such derivatives are either hedges of investments or are used to replicate certain investments, and where such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting. This earned income and amortization of premium is reported within adjusted earnings and not within derivative gains (losses).

Allocated equity: portion of MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity that management allocates to each of its segments and sub-segments based on local capital requirements and economic capital. Economic capital is an internally developed risk capital model, the purpose of which is to measure the risk in the business and to provide a basis upon which capital is deployed. MetLife management periodically reviews this model to ensure that it remains consistent with emerging industry practice standards and the local capital requirements; allocated equity may be adjusted if warranted by such review. Allocated equity excludes the impact of AOCI other than FCTA.
 
Return on allocated equity: net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.'s common shareholders divided by allocated equity.
 
Adjusted return on allocated equity: adjusted earnings available to common shareholders divided by allocated equity.
 
 
The above measures represent a level of equity consistent with the view that, in the ordinary course of business, we do not plan to sell most investments for the sole purpose of realizing gains or losses. Also, refer to the utilization of adjusted earnings and other financial measures based on adjusted earnings mentioned above.

Statistical sales information for Latin America, Asia and EMEA: calculated using 10% of single-premium deposits (mainly from retirement products such as variable annuity, fixed annuity and pensions), 20% of single-premium deposits from credit insurance and 100% of annualized full-year premiums and fees from recurring-premium policy sales of all products (mainly from risk and protection products such as individual life, accident & health and group). Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under GAAP, but are used as relevant measures of business activity.
