• Q2 Adjusted Operating Income $512M

  Adjusted after-tax operating income available to common shareholders reached $512 million, or $1.12 per share. While down from $672 million a year ago, the result reflects solid underlying profitability.

• GAAP Net Loss of $16M

  The GAAP net loss of $16 million ($0.04/share) was driven by changes in the fair value of market risk benefits and realized losses—non-cash items that mask the true operating performance.

• Merger Shareholder Approval

  On July 30, shareholders voted overwhelmingly to approve the all-stock merger with Equitable Holdings, marking a pivotal step toward closing the deal.

• $412M Returned to Shareholders

  Continuing its capital return program, the company repurchased $300 million of shares and paid $112 million in common dividends.

Despite a GAAP net loss of $16 million, Corebridge delivered $512 million in adjusted after-tax operating income, or $1.12 per share, underscoring the resilience of its underlying business. The quarter brought in $9.1 billion of premiums and deposits, while $300 million in share repurchases and a declared dividend of $0.25 per share highlighted ongoing capital returns. Crucially, the all-stock merger with Equitable Holdings cleared its final shareholder vote on July 30, keeping the transformative deal on track. The GAAP loss reflects non-cash noise from market risk benefits and realized losses, not a deterioration in operating performance.
