AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Brighthouse Financial (BHF)

Brighthouse Financial Q3 net income falls to $150 million; adjusted earnings rise to $767 million

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Brighthouse Financial reported third quarter 2024 net income available to shareholders of $150 million, or $2.47 per diluted share, down from $453 million a year earlier. Adjusted earnings rose to $767 million, but that figure includes $524 million of net favorable notable items tied to the annual actuarial review. The estimated combined RBC ratio of 365% to 385% is below the company's 400% to 450% target range, and the company said it is in the final stages of a reinsurance transaction intended to address this.
