Brighthouse Financial Announces Third Quarter 2026 Results
Brighthouse Financial reported Q3 2026 net income of $302 million ($5.21 per diluted share), down from $453 million ($7.89) a year earlier, with adjusted earnings of $527 million ($9.12) versus $970 million ($16.87) in Q3 2025.
Underlying results were softer: adjusted earnings less notable items fell to $213 million ($3.68) from $261 million ($4.54), while annuity sales of $2.4 billion declined 12% quarter-over-quarter and book value fell to $3.3 billion from $4.7 billion a year ago.
Capital remains adequate — estimated combined RBC of 415%-435% sits within the 400%-450% target range, with $1.0 billion of holding company liquid assets and a $600 million intra-group reinsurance dividend boosting the ratio.
Most consequentially, the company disclosed that regulatory approvals for the $70.00-per-share Aquarian Capital merger are not expected before the December 6 Outside Date; the parties are negotiating an extension but there is no assurance the deal closes at all.
