Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Fortitude Life Insurance & Annuity Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, “FLIAC” or the “Company”), with its principal offices in Jersey City, New Jersey, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortitude Group Holdings, LLC (“FGH”).

Basis of Presentation

The Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements present the consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of FLIAC. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Novation of Ceded Business

In 2022, in accordance with applicable state law, a program was instituted to novate a significant portion of the Ceded Business policies from FLIAC to Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life"). The program did not have an impact on total equity or net income but resulted in the reduction of certain activity/balances associated with these policies. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, approximately $7 million of account value, which generally approximates fair values of insurance liabilities, was transferred out of the Company as a result of the novation program.

There was no significant novation activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and we do not expect significant future novation activity under the current program. Approximately 72 percent of account value (since the acquisition of the Company on April 1, 2022) in the Ceded Business was novated to Pruco Life under this program.
