Our parent, FNF, retains control of F&G through an approximate 85% equity ownership stake • Record profitable gross sales for F&G continues: Total gross sales of $2.7 billion for the fourth quarter, an increase of 23% over the fourth quarter 2021, driven by record Retail sales. For the full year 2022, record total gross sales of $11.3 billion, an increase of nearly 18% over the full year 2021 • Net sales reflect third party flow reinsurance: Net sales retained of $1.9 billion for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 7% from the fourth quarter 2021, reflecting the increase from 50% to 75% of multiyear guaranteed annuity sales to Aspida Re effective September 1, 2022. For the full year 2022, net retained sales of $9.0 billion, an increase of 3% over the full year 2021 • Robust asset growth: Ending assets under management (AUM) were $43.6 billion as of December 31, 2022, an increase of 19% from $36.5 billion in the prior year, primarily driven by net new business flows • Inaugural quarterly cash common dividend: Paid first quarterly dividend in the amount of $25 million, or $0.20 per share of common stock on January 31, 2023 • Strong solvency: Estimated risk-based capital (RBC) ratio for our primary operating subsidiary of approximately 440% as of December 31, 2022, well above our 400% target • Ratings momentum, as A.M. Best has revised the ratings outlook to ‘positive’ from ‘stable’ in December 2022, and we continue on ‘positive’ outlook with Moody’s Chris Blunt, President and Chief Executive Officer of F&G, commented, “Following F&G’s successful public listing on the New York Stock Exchange in December, I would like to extend my appreciation for the support that we received from our majority owner, FNF, our employees and all of our partners who together made our return to the public markets possible. I am also very proud of our financial performance during the fourth quarter as we delivered record gross sales of $2.7 billion led by record Retail sales of $2.5 billion. We ended the year with $43.6 billion of assets under Exhibit 99.1


 
management which puts us on track to achieve our goal of doubling AUM to $50 billion in 2023, approximately two years ahead of our original guidance. The key to our success has been the transformation of F&G over the last three years as we have expanded into new products and distribution channels which firmly positions the Company for continued growth and profitability. Our strong financial results for 2022 also demonstrate the underlying earnings power of the F&G business model where asset growth drives earnings and we benefit from a rising rate environment. Our high-quality investment portfolio continues to perform well, and our strategic investment management partnership with Blackstone remains a competitive advantage.” Mr. Blunt concluded, “Looking to the year ahead, we have reached an inflection point in our business where our scale and strong capitalization now supports both organic growth and the distribution of a portion of our adjusted net earnings to our shareholders where we have committed to paying $100 million in dividends this year. We also have the financial flexibility as a stand-alone public company to make accretive acquisitions and investments to further expand our business and capabilities. Our recently announced equity investment in SYNCIS, a leading independent agent distribution partner, is an example of our approach to growth as we continue to build a strong footprint of owned distribution.” Summary Financial Results (In millions, except per share data) Three Months Ended Full Year December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 2022 2021 Total gross sales1 $ 2,719 $ 2,195 $ 11,254 $ 9,592 Net retained sales $ 1,911 $ 2,044 $ 9,006 $ 8,723 Assets under management (AUM) $ 43,568 $ 36,494 $ 43,568 $ 36,494 Average assets under management (AAUM) $ 42,605 $ 35,699 $ 40,069 $ 31,938 Adjusted return on assets 0.86 % 1.73 % 0.86 % 1.73 % Net earnings (loss) $ (100) $ 121 $ 481 $ 865 Net earnings (loss) per diluted share $ (0.80) $ 1.15 $ 4.18 $ 8.24 Adjusted net earnings $ 138 $ 142 $ 345 $ 551 Adjusted net earnings per diluted share $ 1.10 $ 1.35 $ 3.00 $ 5.25 Weighted average diluted shares (in millions) 125 105 115 105 Common shares outstanding (in millions) 126 105 126 105 Book value per share $ 14.41 $ 42.71 $ 14.41 $ 42.71 Book value excluding AOCI per share $ 36.66 $ 35.72 $ 36.66 $ 35.72 1 See definition of non-GAAP measures below

DEFINITIONS The following represents the definitions of non-GAAP measures used by the Company. Adjusted Net Earnings Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP economic measure we use to evaluate financial performance each period. Adjusted net earnings is calculated by adjusting net earnings (loss) from continuing operations to eliminate: i. Recognized (gains) and losses, net: the impact of net investment gains/losses, including changes in allowance for expected credit losses and other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses, recognized in operations; and the effect of changes in fair value of the reinsurance related embedded derivative; ii. Indexed product related derivatives: the impacts related to changes in the fair value, including both realized and unrealized gains and losses, of index product related derivatives and embedded derivatives, net of hedging cost; iii. Purchase price amortization: the impacts related to the amortization of certain intangibles (internally developed software, trademarks and value of distribution asset (“VODA”)) recognized as a result of acquisition activities; iv. Transaction costs: the impacts related to acquisition, integration and merger related items; v. Other “non-recurring,” “infrequent” or “unusual items”: Management excludes certain items determined to be “non-recurring,” “infrequent” or “unusual” from adjusted net earnings when incurred if it is determined these expenses are not a reflection of the core business and when the nature of the item is such that it is not reasonably likely to recur within two years and/or there was not a similar item in the preceding two years; vi. Amortization of actuarial intangibles and SOP 03-1 reserve offset: The intangibles amortization and SOP 03-1 change offsets related to the above mentioned adjustments; and vii. Income taxes: the income tax impact related to the above mentioned adjustments is measured using an effective tax rate, as appropriate by tax jurisdiction. While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall performance of F&G, market conditions and/or the non- operating nature of these items can overshadow the underlying performance of the core business. Accordingly, management considers this to be a useful measure internally and to investors and analysts in analyzing the trends of our operations. Adjusted net earnings should not be used as a substitute for net earnings (loss). Adjusted Net Earnings per Common Share Adjusted net earnings per common share is calculated as adjusted net earnings divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level of return driven by the Company that is available to common shareholders. Adjusted Net Earnings per Diluted Share Adjusted net earnings per diluted share is calculated as adjusted net earnings divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level of return driven by the Company that is available to common shareholders. Adjusted Return on Assets Adjusted return on assets is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted net earnings by year-to-date AAUM. Return on assets is comprised of net investment income, less cost of funds, and less expenses (including operating expenses, interest expense and income taxes) consistent with our adjusted net earnings definition and related adjustments. Cost of funds includes liability costs related to cost of crediting on both deferred annuities and institutional products as well as other liability costs.


 
Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing financial performance and profitability earned on AAUM. Assets Under Management (AUM) AUM uses the following components: i. total invested assets at amortized cost, excluding derivatives, net of reinsurance qualifying for risk transfer in accordance with GAAP; ii. related party loans and investments; iii. accrued investment income; iv. the net payable/receivable for the purchase/sale of investments; and v. cash and cash equivalents excluding derivative collateral at the end of the period Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the rate of return on assets available for reinvestment. Average Assets Under Management (AAUM) (Quarterly and YTD) AAUM is calculated as AUM at the beginning of the period and the end of each month in the period, divided by the total number of months in the period plus one. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the rate of return on assets available for reinvestment. Book Value per Share (including and excluding AOCI) Book value per share including and excluding AOCI is calculated as total equity (or total equity excluding AOCI) divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. Management considers this to be a useful measure internally and for investors and analysts to assess the capital position of the Company. Sales Annuity, IUL, funding agreement and non-life contingent PRT sales are not derived from any specific GAAP income statement accounts or line items and should not be viewed as a substitute for any financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Sales from these products are recorded as deposit liabilities (i.e. contractholder funds) within the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Life contingent PRT sales are recorded as premiums in revenues within the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that presentation of sales, as measured for management purposes, enhances the understanding of our business and helps depict longer term trends that may not be apparent in the results of operations due to the timing of sales and revenue recognition. Total Capitalization excluding AOCI Total Capitalization excluding AOCI is based on Total Equity and the aggregate principal amount of debt and Total Equity excluding the effect of AOCI. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to provide useful supplemental information internally and to investors and analysts to help assess the capital position of the Company. Total Equity excluding AOCI Total Equity excluding AOCI is based on Total Equity excluding the effect of AOCI. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments.


 
Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to provide useful supplemental information internally and to investors and analysts assessing the level of earned equity on Total Equity. Yield on AAUM Yield on AAUM is calculated by dividing annualized net investment income by AAUM. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the level of return earned on AAUM.
