The information presented in this financial supplement has been derived from the combined financial information of the MetLife U.S. Retail Separation Business.  The combined financial information was prepared in connection with the proposed separation of a substantial portion of MetLife, Inc.’s former Retail segment as well as certain portions of its former Corporate Benefit Funding segment, and presents the combined results of operations and financial condition of certain direct and indirect subsidiaries and businesses of MetLife, Inc., including Brighthouse Life Insurance Company (formerly MetLife Insurance Company USA) and its subsidiaries, New England Life Insurance Company, Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY (formerly First MetLife Investors Insurance Company), MetLife Reinsurance Company of Delaware, MetLife Reinsurance Company of South Carolina, Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC, (formerly MetLife Advisers LLC), and a designated protected cell of MetLife Reinsurance Company of Vermont.  As used in this financial supplement, “Brighthouse Financial,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the entity that at the time of the separation will hold, through its subsidiaries, the assets (including the equity interests of certain MetLife, Inc. subsidiaries) and liabilities associated with MetLife, Inc.’s Brighthouse Financial segment.

Appendix

Financial Supplement A-1

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Disclosures

In this financial supplement, we present certain measures of our performance that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. 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:

Non-GAAP financial measures:		Comparable GAAP financial measures:
(i)	operating earnings	(i)	net income (loss)
(ii)	operating revenues	(ii)	revenues
(iii)	operating expenses	(iii)	expenses
(iv)	operating return on equity	(iv)	return on equity
(v)	operating earnings per share	(v)	earnings per share

Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable historical GAAP measures are included in this financial supplement, except for operating earnings per share which is not available on a historical basis and will be presented post-separation.

Our definitions of the various non-GAAP and other financial measures discussed in this financial supplement may differ from those used by other companies. For example, as indicated below, we exclude GMIB revenues and related embedded derivatives gains (losses) as well as GMIB benefits and associated DAC and VOBA offsets from operating earnings, thereby excluding substantially all GMLB activity from operating earnings.

Operating earnings, operating revenues and operating expenses

Operating earnings is a measure used by management to evaluate performance, allocate resources and facilitate comparisons to industry results.

Operating earnings is a measure that focuses on our primary businesses principally by excluding the impact of market volatility, which could distort trends, and revenues and costs related to non-core businesses and certain entities required to be consolidated under GAAP. Also, this measure excludes results of discontinued operations and other businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by us and are referred to as divested businesses.

Provided below are the adjustments to GAAP revenues and GAAP expenses used to calculate operating revenues and operating expenses, respectively. Operating earnings, as presented in this financial supplement, reflects operating revenues less operating expenses, both net of income tax.

Financial Supplement A-2

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Disclosures (Cont.)

The following are excluded from total revenues in calculating the operating revenues component of operating earnings:

• Net investment gains (losses);

• Net derivative gains (losses) except: (i) 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"), and (ii) earned income on derivatives that are hedges of policyholder account balances but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment ("PAB Adjustments");

• Amortization of unearned revenue related to net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses) and certain variable annuity GMIB fees (“GMIB Fees”);

• Certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP; and

• Revenues from divested businesses.

The following are excluded from total expenses in calculating the operating expenses component of operating earnings:

• Amounts associated with benefits and hedging costs related to GMIBs (“GMIB Costs”);

• Amortization of DAC and VOBA related to net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses);

• 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;

• Expenses of divested businesses;

• Amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP;

• Goodwill impairment;

• Costs related to: (i) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements and (ii) acquisition and integration costs; and

• Amounts associated with periodic crediting rate adjustments based on the total return of a contractually referenced pool of assets and market value adjustments associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts (“Market Value Adjustments”).

The tax impact of the adjustments mentioned is calculated net of the U.S. statutory tax rate, which could differ from our effective tax rate.

Consistent with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, operating earnings is also our GAAP measure of segment performance.

Financial Supplement A-3

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Disclosures (Cont.)

Operating return on equity and operating earnings per share

Operating return on equity and operating earnings per share are measures used by management to evaluate the execution of our business strategy and align such strategy with our shareholders’ interests.

Operating return on equity is defined as total annual operating earnings on a four quarter trailing basis divided by the simple average of the most recent five quarters of total stockholders’ equity, excluding AOCI.

Operating earnings per share is defined as total annual operating earnings on a four quarter trailing basis divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding for the period.

Sales

Statistical sales information for Life sales are calculated 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. Annuity sales consist of 10% of direct statutory premiums, excluding company sponsored internal exchanges. These sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under GAAP, but are used as relevant measures of business activity.
