Company Intelligence

MetLife, Inc. is the listed holding company above U.S. and international insurance operations, including separately regulated insurers. Consolidated segment results, statutory statements and financial-strength opinions therefore refer to different entities and accounting bases.

What to read first

The annual report provides the U.S.-GAAP group record. Statutory filings address named insurers, the corporate profile outlines the operating footprint, and the ratings and NYSE pages identify the company or security relevant to their narrower purpose.

Reporting perimeter and reporting period

MetLife reports in U.S. dollars for a calendar year. Management segments aggregate activities across legal entities, whereas statutory statements follow the rules and capital framework of the filing insurer's domicile.

Group, legal-entity and subsidiary boundaries

MetLife, Inc. is the listed holding company for the consolidated group. Insurance is written through separately incorporated and regulated operating companies whose statutory accounts, capital measures and financial-strength ratings apply to the named insurer. Management segments can combine several legal entities, so a consolidated or segment result does not describe an operating insurer's standalone statutory position.

Interpretation notes and limitations

Adjusted earnings retain MetLife's non-GAAP reconciliation. A statutory surplus or rating belonging to Metropolitan Life Insurance Company cannot be attributed automatically to MetLife, Inc. International results also require attention to currency translation and local regulatory scope.
