This transaction, through our subsidiary, American National Insurance Company, is expected to close in the coming weeks, subject to customary regulatory approvals\n\nOperating Update\nWe recognized $370 million and $947 million of distributable operating earnings (“DOE”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $182 million and $487 million in the prior year periods. The increase in earnings for the current period reflects contributions from our recent acquisitions, notably the first full quarter of ownership of AEL. Additionally, our results reflect strong annuity sales and higher spread earnings on our existing business, driven by higher net investment income resulting from progress made in repositioning assets into higher yielding investment strategies.\nWe recorded net income of $65 million and $671 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net income of $77 million and $344 million in the prior year periods. Net income in the current period is the result of strong operating performance and contributions from our DOE, as well as unrealized mark-to-market gains on equity securities, partially offset by unfavorable movements on reserves due to interest rate and equity market volatility in the quarter.\nToday, we are in a strong liquidity position across the portfolio, with approximately $31 billion of cash and short-term liquid investments across our investment portfolios, and another $21 billion of long-term liquid investments. These liquid assets will support the ongoing rotation of our investment portfolio into higher yielding investment strategies, while ensuring we have sufficient liquidity coverage for our liabilities in the case of any stress events impacting the broader market.\nRegular Distribution Declaration\nThe Board declared a quarterly return of capital of $0.08 per class A share and class B share, payable on December 31, 2024 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on December 16, 2024. This distribution is identical in amount per share and has the same payment date as the quarterly distribution announced today by Brookfield Corporation on the Brookfield class A shares.\nBrookfield Corporation Operating Results\nAn investment in class A shares of our company is intended to be, as nearly as practicable, functionally and economically, equivalent to an investment in the Brookfield class A shares. A summary of Brookfield Corporation’s third quarter operating results is provided below:\n\n\n\nUnauditedAs of and for the periods ended September 30(US$ millions, except per share amounts)\nThree Months Ended\n \nLast Twelve Months Ended\n\n\n \n2024\n \n \n2023\n \n \n2024\n \n \n2023\n\n\nNet income of consolidated business1\n$\n1,518\n \n$\n35\n \n$\n4,886\n \n$\n2,015\n\n\nNet income attributable to Brookfield shareholders2\n \n64\n \n \n230\n \n \n908\n \n \n115\n\n\nDistributable earnings before realizations2,3,4\n \n1,259\n \n \n1,056\n \n \n4,582\n \n \n4,049\n\n\n\n\nPer Brookfield class A share2,3,4\n \n \n0.80\n \n \n0.67\n \n \n2.90\n \n \n2.54\n\n\nDistributable earnings2,3\n \n1,325\n \n \n1,150\n \n \n5,980\n \n \n4,992\n\n\n\n\nPer Brookfield class A share2,3\n \n \n0.84\n \n \n0.73\n \n \n3.78\n \n \n3.13\n\n\n\n\nConsolidated basis – includes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.\nExcludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.\nSee Reconciliation of Net Income to Distributable Earnings on page 5 and Non-IFRS and Performance Measures section on page 8 of Brookfield Corporation’s press release dated November 14, 2024.\nDistributable earnings before realizations, including per share amounts, for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023 were adjusted for the special distribution of 25% of Brookfield’s asset management business on December 9, 2022. Prior to the adjustment, distributable earnings before realizations were $4.2 billion for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023.\n\nBrookfield Corporation net income above is presented under IFRS. Given the economic equivalence, we expect that the market price of the class A shares of our company will be impacted significantly by the market price of the Brookfield class A shares and the business performance of Brookfield as a whole.
