Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 13, 2018, MetLife, Inc. issued (i) a news release announcing its results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2017 (the Earnings Release), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, (ii) a Quarterly Financial Supplement for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 (the Quarterly Financial Supplement), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference and (iii) a supplemental slide presentation for the fourth quarter and full year 2017 (the Supplemental Slides) attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01. Other Events
Overview
On December 15, 2017, MetLife, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company) announced that it was undertaking a review of practices and procedures used to estimate its reserves related to certain Retirement and Income Solutions (RIS) group annuitants who have been unresponsive or missing over time. As a result of this process, management, in consultation with the Audit Committee of MetLife, Inc.s Board of Directors, has identified a material weakness in the Companys internal control over financial reporting related to certain RIS group annuity reserves.
In addition, the Company has completed a review of its processes and procedures for identifying unresponsive and missing (a) international group annuity annuitants and pension beneficiaries and (b) policyholders and beneficiaries for the other insurance and annuity products the Company offers for all segments. While certain of the Companys processes, procedures, and controls have been identified for further enhancement, no issues which would be material to the conduct of the Companys business, results of operations or financial position were identified. The Company intends going forward to increase the scope and frequency of such reviews in connection with its material weakness remediation efforts.
Based on the Companys internal review, MetLife, Inc.s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) determined that there were deficiencies in the design and/or execution of internal controls that aggregated to a material weakness. Management determined that a lack of adequate controls over the administrative and accounting practices relating to certain RIS group annuity reserves and the untimely communication and escalation of issues regarding those reserves throughout the Company contributed to the material weakness.
In conjunction with the material weakness, the Company increased reserves by $510 million pre-tax to reinstate reserves previously released, and to reflect accrued interest and other related liabilities. Of the increase of $510 million, $372 million was considered an error and will be recorded as a revision to prior years presented in MetLife, Inc.s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the 2017 10-K) and Quarterly Financial Supplement for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.
The revisions related to prior periods were not material to any given period. As such, this material weakness did not result in a material misstatement in the Companys previously filed consolidated financial statements and such financial statements can still be relied upon.
The Company previously informed its primary state regulator, the New York Department of Financial Services, about this matter and the department is examining the issue. In addition, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission staff is also investigating this matter. The Company is fully cooperating with each.
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (Metropolitan) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. Metropolitan management has determined that Metropolitan has a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting due to the same control deficiencies described herein. Metropolitan will disclose details about the impact of its material weakness and its remediation efforts in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Company management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
2
Company management, including the CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2017, the end of the period covered by the 2017 10-K. Based on such evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with managements authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Management evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO framework). Solely because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, in the opinion of management, MetLife, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2017.
A material weakness (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Identification of the Material Weakness in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Approximately 25 years ago, companies that are or have been MetLife, Inc. subsidiaries established a practice of releasing the full insurance liability after two attempts at contacting these annuitants, based on the presumption that these annuitants would never respond and had not become entitled to benefits based on certain contractual provisions. The number of impacted annuitants for whom the Company released the full insurance liability was no more than 1,000 in any one year, and over the entire period totaled approximately 13,500 as of December 31, 2017, which is approximately 2% of the total group annuitant population.
Following a detailed review, management concluded that such administrative practices were not sufficient to allow for reserves to be released. In addition, management concluded that the reserve release process issues, to the extent identified earlier, were not timely communicated or escalated throughout the Company, hindering the Companys ability to fully identify and address these issues in a timely manner.
Management concluded its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 was not effective based on the criteria established in the COSO framework. The Company has identified the following deficiencies in the principles associated with both the control activities and information and communication components of the COSO framework:
| Ineffective design and operating effectiveness of the controls related to processes and procedures for identifying unresponsive and missing group annuity annuitants and pension beneficiaries (Control Activities); and |
| Ineffective design and operating effectiveness of the controls intended to ensure timely communication and escalation of the issue throughout the Company. (Information & Communication). |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to the Companys internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
3
Status of the Material Weakness Remediation
During the fourth quarter of 2017, management initiated a review of the Companys internal control over financial reporting related to the matters giving rise to the material weakness. Although the Companys remediation plan remains under development, the Company has begun remediation efforts and will continue initiatives to implement, document, and communicate policies, procedures, and internal controls. The Companys remediation of the identified material weakness and strengthening of its internal control environment will require a substantial effort throughout 2018. The Company will test the ongoing operating effectiveness of the new and existing controls. The Company will not consider the material weakness remediated until it has operated the applicable controls for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
While the Company believes the steps taken to date and those planned for implementation will improve the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, it has not completed all remediation efforts identified herein. Accordingly, the Company has and will continue to perform additional procedures and employ additional tools and resources it determines necessary to ensure that its consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects.
The following remediation activities highlight the Companys commitment to remediating its identified material weakness:
| Control ActivitiesThe Company is making immediate changes to its administrative and accounting procedures and search practices to identify, contact, and record responses from unresponsive and missing plan annuitants and to otherwise locate missing annuitants. These procedures, which management will continue to refine, include, but are not limited to: |
◇ | Earlier, and more frequent, attempts to contact all annuitants prior to their normal retirement date (NRD), including the use of certified mail and additional external database searches; |
◇ | Revisions to communications to annuitants regarding their benefits, the consequences of failing to respond to the communications, and confirmation and use of current mailing addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers; |
◇ | Simplification and clarity of language in notification letters sent to annuitants; |
◇ | Additional data checks using additional commercial locator services 90 days before NRD and when receiving returned mail; and |
◇ | Contacting the original plan sponsor (if available), as well as any contingent annuitant or beneficiary on file. |
| Information and CommunicationThe Company is reviewing its practices regarding timely communication, escalation, and knowledge sharing throughout the Company. |
The Company will engage third party advisors to undertake, under the supervision of MetLife, Inc.s Chief Risk Officer, a comprehensive examination and analysis of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the material weakness as it relates to both control activities and information and communication. The Company will make further changes and improve its internal control over financial reporting following managements review and development of the complete remediation plan that is responsive to the findings of the examination and analysis described above to more fully address timely communication, escalation, and knowledge sharing throughout the Company.
The Company believes the remediation measures will strengthen the Companys internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weakness identified. Management will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these remediation measures and will make changes and take other actions that are appropriate given the circumstances.
Risk Factors
MetLife, Inc. hereby updates its disclosure to include the following new Risk Factor:
We Have Identified a Material Weakness in Our Internal Control over Financial Reporting, Which Could Adversely Affect Our Business, Reputation, Results of Operations and Stock Price
We have identified a material weakness in MetLife, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting related to the administrative and accounting practices of certain Retirement and Income Solution (RIS) group annuity reserves and the untimely communication and escalation of issues regarding those reserves throughout the Company. Based on the material weakness, our management has determined that MetLife, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017.
4
The material weakness, or a failure to promptly remediate it, may adversely affect our business, our reputation, our results of operations and the market price of our common stock. If we are unable to remediate the material weakness in a timely manner, our investors, regulators, customers and other business partners may lose confidence in our business or our financial reports, and our access to capital markets may be adversely affected. In addition, our ability to record, process, and report financial information accurately, and to prepare financial statements within the time periods specified by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory authorities, could be adversely affected, which may result in violations of applicable securities laws, state insurance laws and regulations, stock exchange listing requirements and the covenants under our debt agreements. We are also exposed to lawsuits and investigations, and we could be exposed to additional legal actions. In such actions, a governmental authority may interpret a law, regulation or accounting principle differently than we have, exposing us to different or additional risks. Legal actions against us may result in payments including damages, fines, penalties, interest and other amounts assessed or awarded by courts or regulatory authorities under applicable escheat, tax, securities, Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), or other laws and regulations. We could incur significant costs in connection with these actions. We have not accrued for any such liabilities.
The control deficiencies resulting in the material weakness, in the aggregate, if not effectively remediated could also result in misstatements of accounts or disclosures related to liabilities for certain RIS Group Annuity Contracts that would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
In addition, we cannot be certain that we will not identify additional control deficiencies or material weaknesses in the future. If we identify future control deficiencies or material weaknesses, these may lead to additional adverse effects on our business, our reputation, our results of operations, and the market price of our common stock.
MetLife, Inc. hereby updates its disclosure to include the following amended Risk Factor:
Differences Between Actual Claims Experience and Underwriting and Reserving Assumptions May Adversely Affect Our Financial Results
Our earnings significantly depend upon the extent to which our actual claims experience is consistent with the assumptions we use in setting prices for our products and establishing liabilities for future policy benefits and claims. Such amounts are established based on estimates by actuaries of how much we will need to pay for future benefits and claims. To the extent that actual claims experience is less favorable than the underlying assumptions we used in establishing such liabilities, we could be required to reduce deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC) and/or value of business acquired (VOBA), increase our liabilities and/or incur higher costs.
Due to the nature of the underlying risks and the uncertainty associated with the determination of liabilities for future policy benefits and claims, we cannot determine precisely the amounts which we will ultimately pay to settle our liabilities. Such amounts may vary from the estimated amounts, particularly when those payments may not occur until well into the future. We evaluate our liabilities periodically based on accounting requirements, which change from time to time, the assumptions used to establish the liabilities, as well as our actual experience. Reserve estimates in some instances are affected by our operating practices and procedures that are used, among other things, to support our assumptions with respect to the Companys obligations to its policyholders and contractholders. These practices and procedures include our use of technology, such as database analysis and electronic communications. To the extent that these practices and procedures do not accurately produce the data to support our assumptions or cause us to change our assumptions, or to the extent that enhanced technological tools become available to us, such assumptions and procedures, as well as our reserves, may require adjustment. If the liabilities originally established for future benefit payments prove inadequate, we must increase them and/or reduce associated DAC and/or VOBA. Such adjustments could affect earnings negatively and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
5

Although our underlying financial performance remained solid, the reserve charge and its impact on our fourth quarter and full year earnings as well as the material weakness that led us to delay our earnings announcement are unacceptable and deeply disappointing, said Steven A. Kandarian, chairman, president and CEO of MetLife, Inc. We can and will do better. We are rigorously addressing the situation and are committed to significantly improving our operational performance to better serve our customers and strengthen shareholders confidence in our organization. MetLife is an iconic franchise with strong businesses, and we are working very hard to continue to successfully execute on our strategy and deliver great value to our customers and shareholders.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this earnings news release and in this periods quarterly financial supplement, which is available at www.metlife.com.
MetLifes definitions of the various non-GAAP and other financial measures discussed in this news release may differ from those used by other companies:
Adjusted earnings and related measures
| adjusted earnings; |
| adjusted earnings available to common shareholders; |
| adjusted earnings available to common shareholders on a constant currency basis; |
| adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items; |
| adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, on a constant currency basis ; |
| adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share; |
| adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items per diluted common share; and |
| adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, on a constant currency basis 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 MetLifes GAAP measure of segment performance. Adjusted earnings and other financial measures based on adjusted earnings are also the measures by which MetLife senior managements 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, both 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 and are referred to as 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. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2016, adjusted revenues and adjusted expenses exclude the financial impact of converting MetLifes Japan operations to calendar-year end reporting without retrospective application of this change to prior periods and is referred to as lag elimination. Adjusted revenues also excludes net investment gains (losses) (NIGL) and net derivative gains (losses) (NDGL). Adjusted expenses also excludes goodwill impairments.
Page 11 of 17
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 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, (ii) excludes post-tax adjusted 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 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, (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 expenses excludes costs related to: (i) noncontrolling interests, (ii) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements, and (iii) acquisition, integration and other costs. |
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 the companys 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 or goodwill impairment. 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).

| Adjusted return on MetLife, Inc.s common stockholders equity, excluding AOCI other than FCTA: adjusted earnings available to common shareholders divided by MetLife, Inc.s average common stockholders equity, excluding AOCI other than FCTA. |
| Adjusted return on MetLife, Inc.s common stockholders equity, excluding net equity of assets and liabilities of disposed subsidiary (excludes AOCI other than FCTA): adjusted earnings available to common shareholders divided by MetLife, Inc.s average common stockholders equity, excluding net assets and liabilities of disposed subsidiary (excludes AOCI other than FCTA). |

| Return on MetLife, Inc.s common stockholders equity: net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.s common shareholders divided by MetLife, Inc.s average common stockholders equity. |
| 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. |
| Adjusted return on allocated equity: adjusted earnings available to common shareholders divided by allocated equity. |
| Return on allocated equity: net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.s 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.
| MetLife, Inc.s tangible common shareholders equity or tangible equity: MetLife, Inc.s common stockholders equity, excluding the net unrealized investment gains (losses) and defined benefit plans adjustment components of AOCI reduced by the impact of goodwill, value of distribution agreements (VODA) and value of customer relationships acquired (VOCRA), all net of income tax. |
| MetLife, Inc.s tangible common stockholders equity, adjusted for total notable items. |
| Adjusted return on MetLife, Inc.s tangible common stockholders equity: adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding amortization of VODA and VOCRA, net of income tax, divided by MetLife, Inc.s average tangible common stockholders equity. |
| Return on MetLife, Inc.s tangible common stockholders equity: net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.s common shareholders, excluding goodwill impairment and amortization of VODA and VOCRA, net of income tax, divided by MetLife, Inc.s average tangible common stockholders equity. |
| Adjusted return on allocated tangible equity: adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding amortization of VODA and VOCRA, net of income tax, divided by allocated tangible equity. |
| Return on allocated tangible equity: net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.s common shareholders, excluding amortization of VODA and VOCRA, net of income tax, divided by allocated tangible equity. |

The above measures are, when considered in conjunction with regulatory capital ratios, a measure of capital adequacy.
The following additional information is relevant to an understanding of MetLifes performance results:
| Adjusted expense ratio: calculated by dividing adjusted expenses (other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC) by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues. |
| Statistical sales information for U.S. MetLife Holdings: calculated (i) for life sales using the LIMRA definition of sales for core direct sales, excluding company-sponsored internal exchanges, corporate-owned life insurance, bank-owned life insurance, and private placement variable universal life insurance, and (ii) annuity sales consist of statutory premiums, excluding company sponsored internal exchanges. Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under GAAP, but are used as relevant measures of business activity. |
| 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. |
| All comparisons on a constant currency basis reflect the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are calculated using the average foreign currency exchange rates for the current period and are applied to each of the comparable periods. |
| Volume growth, as discussed in the context of business growth, is the period over period percentage change in adjusted earnings available to common shareholders attributable to adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues and assets under management levels, applying a model in which certain margins and factors are held constant. The most significant of such items are underwriting margins, investment margins, changes in equity market performance, expense margins and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. |
| Asymmetrical and non-economic accounting refers to: (i) the portion of net derivative gains (losses) on embedded derivatives attributable to the inclusion of MetLifes 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 MetLifes performance by disclosing how these accounting practices affect reported GAAP results. |
| MetLife uses a measure of free cash flow to facilitate an understanding of its ability to generate cash for reinvestment into its businesses or use in non-mandatory capital actions. MetLife defines free cash flow as the sum of cash available at MetLifes holding companies from dividends from adjusted subsidiaries, expenses and other net flows of the holding companies (including capital contributions to subsidiaries), and net contributions from debt to be at or below target leverage ratios. This measure of free cash flow is prior to capital actions, such as common stock dividends and repurchases, debt reduction and mergers and acquisitions. Free cash flow should not be viewed as a substitute for net cash provided by (used in) adjusted activities calculated in accordance with GAAP. The free cash flow ratio is typically expressed as a percentage of annual adjusted earnings available to common shareholders. |

| Notable items represent a positive (negative) impact to adjusted earnings available to common shareholders. Notable items reflect the unexpected impact of events that affect the companys results, but that were unknown and that the company 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 company results and to evaluate and forecast those results. |

MetLife, Inc.
(Unaudited)
(1) | Adjusted earnings available to common shareholders is calculated on a standalone basis and may not equal the sum of adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items and total notable items. |
(2) | 8.6 million shares related to the assumed exercise or issuance of stock-based awards for the three months ended December 31, 2016 have been excluded from the weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted, as to include these assumed shares would be anti-dilutive to income (loss) from continuing operations, net of income tax, per common share - diluted. These shares were included in the calculation of adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per common share - diluted. |
(3) | Notable items reflect the unexpected impact of events that affect the Companys results, but that were unknown and that the Company 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 Company results and to evaluate and forecast those results. Notable items can affect the Companys results either positively or negatively. |
(4) | For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, Divested businesses and Lag elimination includes adjustments related to the financial impact of converting MetLifes Japan operations to calendar year end reporting without retrospective application of this change to prior periods. |
(5) | Book values exclude $2,066 million of equity related to preferred stock at both December 30, 2017 and 2016. |
(6) | Annualized using quarter-to-date results. |
(7) | Excludes total notable items for the reported periods presented in calculating the ratios. |
(8) | Adjustments include: (i) capital contributions to subsidiaries; (ii) returns of capital from subsidiaries; (iii) repayments on and (issuances of) loans to subsidiaries, net; and (iv) investment portfolio and derivatives changes and other, net. |
(9) | Components include: (i) dividends and returns of capital from subsidiaries; (ii) capital contributions from MetLife, Inc.; (iii) capital contributions to subsidiaries; (iv) repayments on and (issuances of) loans to subsidiaries, net; (v) other expenses; (vi) dividends and returns of capital to MetLife, Inc. and (vii) investment portfolio changes and other, net. |
(10) | Consolidated net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.s common shareholders for 2017 includes Separation-related costs of $0.3 billion, net of income tax. Excluding this amount from the denominator of the ratio, this ratio, as adjusted, would be 163%. Consolidated net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.s common shareholders for 2016 includes Separation-related costs of $0.07 billion, net of income tax. Excluding this amount from the denominator of the ratio, this ratio, as adjusted, would be 535%. |
(11) | Including the free cash flow of other MetLife, Inc. holding companies of ($0.5) billion and $1.0 billion for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in the numerator of the ratio, this ratio, as adjusted, would be 164% and 757%, respectively. Including the free cash flow of other MetLife, Inc. holding companies in the numerator of the ratio and excluding the Separation-related costs from the denominator of the ratio, this ratio, as adjusted, would be 151% and 679% for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. |
(12) | i) In 2017, $2.1 billion of Separation-related items (comprised of certain Separation-related inflows primarily related to dividends from Brighthouse, net of outflows) were included, which increased our holding companies liquid assets, as well as our free cash flow. Excluding these Separation-related items, adjusted free cash flow would be $3.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2017. Consolidated adjusted earnings available to common shareholders for 2017 was negatively impacted by notable items, primarily related to tax adjustments, of $0.6 billion, net of income tax. Excluding the Separation-related items, which increased free cash flow, from the numerator of the ratio and excluding such notable items and Separation-related costs negatively impacting consolidated adjusted earnings available to common shareholders from the denominator of the ratio, the adjusted free cash flow ratio for 2017 would be 75%. |
ii) In 2016, we incurred $2.3 billion of Separation-related items (comprised of certain Separation-related outflows, net of inflows related to dividends from Brighthouse subsidiaries) which reduced our holding companies liquid assets, as well as our free cash flow. Excluding these Separation-related items, adjusted free cash flow would be $4.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2016. Consolidated adjusted earnings available to common shareholders for 2016 was negatively impacted by notable items, primarily related to the actuarial assumption review and other insurance adjustments, of $0.7 billion, net of income tax, and Separation-related costs of $0.02 billion, net of income tax. Excluding the Separation-related items, which reduced free cash flow, from the numerator of the ratio and excluding such notable items and Separation-related costs negatively impacting consolidated adjusted earnings available to common shareholders from the denominator of the ratio, the adjusted free cash flow ratio for 2016 would be 98%. |
(13) | Amounts on a reported basis, as constant currency impact is not significant. |

(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 $611 million, $649 million, $651 million, $713 million and $865 million in ending carrying value, and $37 million, $29 million, $45 million, $61 million and $68 million of investment income related to fair value option securities at or for the year-to-date period ended December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
(3) The reconciliation of the remaining yield table captions to the most directly comparable measures presented in accordance with GAAP are as follows at or for the periods ended December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively: A) Fair value option securities (included within fixed maturity securities above) ending carrying value excludes contractholder-directed unit-linked investments and FVO Brighthouse Common Stock of $13,304 million, $13,743 million, $14,104 million, $15,818 million and $15,874 million; B) Ending carrying value excludes the following effects of consolidating under GAAP certain VIEs that are treated as CSEs: Fair value option securities (included within fixed maturity securities above) of $8 million, $7 million, $7 million, $7 million and $6 million and cash and short-term investments of $1 million, $1 million, $0, $0 and $0; C) Net investment income adjustments as presented on Page 5; D) Investment portfolio gains (losses) as presented above and the GAAP adjustments as presented below; and E) Derivative gains (losses) as presented above and GAAP adjustments as presented below:

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding of our performance by highlighting the results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of our 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:

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this QFS and in this periods 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 MetLifes GAAP measure of segment performance. Adjusted earnings and other financial measures based on adjusted earnings are also the measures by which MetLife senior managements 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, both 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. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2016, adjusted revenues and adjusted expenses exclude the financial impact of converting MetLifes Japan operations to calendar year-end reporting without retrospective application of this change to prior periods (Lag elimination). Adjusted revenues also excludes NIGL and NDGL. Adjusted expenses also excludes goodwill impairments.
| ||||||
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), and (iv) excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP (Securitization entities income); and | |||||
|
Other revenues are adjusted for settlements of foreign currency earnings hedges. | |||||
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. |
A-7
NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)
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 the Companys 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 or goodwill impairment. 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. | |
|
Adjusted return on allocated equity - adjusted earnings available to common shareholders divided by allocated equity. | |
|
Return on allocated equity - net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.s 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. | ||

|
Return on MetLife, Inc.s tangible common stockholders equity - net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.s common shareholders, excluding goodwill impairment and amortization of VODA and VOCRA, net of income tax, divided by MetLife, Inc.s average tangible common stockholders equity. | |
|
Adjusted return on allocated tangible equity - adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding amortization of VODA and VOCRA, net of income tax, divided by allocated tangible equity. | |
|
Return on allocated tangible equity - net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.s common shareholders, excluding amortization of VODA and VOCRA, net of income tax, divided by allocated tangible equity. | |
The above measures are, when considered in conjunction with regulatory capital ratios, a measure of capital adequacy. | ||
The following additional information is relevant to an understanding of our performance results: | ||
|
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. | |
|
All comparisons on a constant currency basis reflect the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are calculated using the average foreign currency exchange rates for the current period and are applied to each of the comparable periods. As a result, amounts will be updated each period to reflect the average foreign currency exchange rates. |

Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP Financial Information Any references in this presentation (except in this Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP Financial Information) to: should be read as, respectively: (i) net income (loss); (i) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders; (ii) adjusted earnings; and (ii) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders; and (iii) adjusted earnings per share. (iii) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share. 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 these 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. MetLife’s definitions of the various non-GAAP and other financial measures discussed in this presentation may differ from those used by other companies: Non-GAAP financial measures: Comparable GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders; (i) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders; (ii) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders on a constant currency basis; (ii) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders; (iii) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items; (iii) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders; (iv) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, on a constant currency basis; (iv) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders; (v) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share; and (v) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders per diluted common share; and (vi) adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items per diluted common share. (vi) net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders per diluted common share.
Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP Financial Information (Continued) Adjusted earnings and related measures adjusted earnings available to common shareholders; adjusted earnings available to common shareholders on a constant currency basis; adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items; adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, on a constant currency basis; adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share; and adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items 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 operating 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, both 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 and are referred to as 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. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2017, adjusted revenues and adjusted 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. Adjusted revenues also excludes net investment gains (losses) (NIGL) and net derivative gains (losses) (NDGL). Adjusted expenses also excludes goodwill impairments. 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 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.
Explanatory Note on Non-GAAP Financial Information (Continued) 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, (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 expenses excludes costs related to: (i) noncontrolling interests, (ii) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements, and (iii) acquisition, integration and other costs. 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 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: MetLife uses a measure of free cash flow to facilitate an understanding of its ability to generate cash for reinvestment into its businesses or use in non-mandatory capital actions. MetLife defines free cash flow as the sum of cash available at MetLife’s holding companies from dividends from adjusted subsidiaries, expenses and other net flows of the holding companies (including capital contributions to subsidiaries), and net contributions from debt to be at or below target leverage ratios. This measure of free cash flow is prior to capital actions, such as common stock dividends and repurchases, debt reduction and mergers and acquisitions. Free cash flow should not be viewed as a substitute for net cash provided by (used in) adjusted activities calculated in accordance with GAAP. The free cash flow ratio is typically expressed as a percentage of annual adjusted earnings available to common shareholders. Notable items represent a positive (negative) impact to adjusted earnings available to common shareholders. Notable items reflect the unexpected impact of events that affect the company’s results, but that were unknown and that the company 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 company results and to evaluate and forecast those results.
