The information included in this financial supplement is unaudited and intended for informational purposes only.

Athene Holding Ltd. (AHL) is a subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (AGM).The financial statements and exhibits included in this financial supplement should be read in conjunction with AHL’s reports and other filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, including its reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. This financial supplement does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any security of AHL, and nothing in this financial supplement shall in any way be relied on in connection with investment decisions. Each recipient of the information contained in this financial supplement is responsible for making its own independent assessment of the business, financial condition, prospects, status and affairs of AHL.

AHL adopted the US GAAP accounting standard related to Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts (LDTI) as of January 1, 2023, which required AHL to apply the new standard retrospectively back to January 1, 2022, the date of AHL’s merger with AGM. The 2022 financial metrics and disclosures in this supplement have been retrospectively adjusted in accordance with the requirements of the adoption guidance of LDTI. Approximately 20% of Athene’s total US GAAP liabilities as of January 1, 2022 were impacted by these changes. Please refer to the discussion of Key Operating and Non-GAAP Measures herein for additional information on items that are excluded from AHL’s non-GAAP measure of spread related earnings, which was retrospectively adjusted in accordance with the requirements of the adoption guidance of LDTI. Please see Notes 1, 2, 9 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements included in AHL’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as well as the 2022 Financial Supplement LDTI Recast published on May 5, 2023 for more information on LDTI.

AHL undertakes no obligation to update or correct the information in this financial supplement. AHL makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the fairness, correctness, accuracy, reasonableness or completeness of any of the information contained in this financial supplement. AHL does not accept any liability whatsoever for any direct, indirect or consequential losses (in contract, tort or otherwise) arising from the use of this financial supplement or its contents or any reliance on the information contained herein.

This financial supplement includes certain non-GAAP measures, including net investment earnings, cost of funds, other operating expenses, spread related earnings, net investment spread, net spread, adjusted debt-to-capital ratio, net invested assets, net reserve liabilities, spread related earnings - excluding notable items, net investment spread - excluding notable items and net spread - excluding notable items. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures (which are defined and discussed in greater detail and reconciled elsewhere in this financial supplement), together with the relevant GAAP measures, provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of AHL’s results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of AHL’s business. These measures should be considered supplementary to AHL’s results in accordance with US GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the corresponding US GAAP measures.

Note: “NM” represents changes that are not meaningful. Please refer to the Notes to the Financial Supplement section for discussion on non-GAAP metrics and the Non-GAAP Measure Reconciliations section for reconciliations of non-GAAP metrics. Effective for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, we no longer report spread related earnings - normalized. Instead we report spread related earnings, excluding notable items. Notable items include unusual variability such as actuarial experience, assumption updates and other insurance adjustments. Notable items were removed from spread related earnings - normalized historically, and are similarly removed from spread related earnings, excluding notable items. No changes were made to line-item balances deriving spread related earnings. 1. Refers to the amount that as-reported alternative net investment income is below (above) management's long-term expectation of an 11% average annual return. Our long-term expectation is based on historical experience and provides investors with supplemental information for period-to-period comparability as well as a basis for developing expectations of future performance. There is no assurance that management’s expected long-term average annual return will be achieved. Actual results may differ materially.

1 Funding agreements are comprised of funding agreements issued under our funding agreement backed notes (FABN) and secured funding agreement backed repurchase agreements (FABR) programs, funding agreements issued to the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and long-term repurchase agreements. 2 Gross inorganic inflows represent acquisitions and block reinsurance transactions. On November 6, 2023, we entered into an agreement with a Japanese counterparty, effective October 1, 2023, pursuant to which we agreed to reinsure a block of whole life insurance policies on a coinsurance basis. In conjunction with the transaction, we entered into an agreement with a leading mortality reinsurer to retrocede the mortality risk related to this block of business. 3 Gross outflows include full and partial policyholder withdrawals on deferred annuities, death benefits, pension group annuity benefit payments, payments on payout annuities, funding agreement repurchases and maturities and reinsurance outflows. 4 Effective July 1, 2023, Athene Life Re Ltd. (ALRe) sold 50% of Athene Co-Invest Reinsurance Affiliate Holding 2 Ltd.’s (together with its subsidiaries, ACRA 2) economic interests to Apollo/Athene Dedicated Investment Program II (ADIP II), resulting in approximately $6.8 billion of inflows attributable to Athene for the first six months of 2023 being retroactively attributed to ADIP II. Effective December 31, 2023, ADIP II’s ownership of economic interests in ACRA 2 increased to 60%, with ALRe owning the remaining 40% of economic interests. This resulted in approximately $3.0 billion of inflows attributable to Athene for the year ended December 31, 2023 being retroactively attributed to ADIP II. These were reflected as an inflow for ADIP and a reduction of Athene inflows in 3Q’23 and 4Q’23, respectively. 5 ADIP refers to Apollo/Athene Dedicated Investment Program (ADIP I) and ADIP II and represents the noncontrolling interests in business ceded to ACRA. 6 The format and methodology of this table was updated during 1Q’23 to provide additional information. 7 Represents outflows from funding agreements, pension group annuities and multi-year guarantee fixed annuities (MYGA), all of which occur based on defined maturities or substantially lapse upon reaching their contractual term. Amounts may vary on a quarterly basis, based on the timing of original issuance. 8 Represents outflows from fixed indexed annuities and other applicable products, which have varying degrees of predictability due to policyholder actions. 9 Represents partial annuity withdrawals to meet retirement income needs within contractual annual limits. 10 Represents outflows from policies that no longer have an active surrender charge in force. 11 Represents outflows from policies with an active surrender charge in force. 12 Strategic reinsurance transaction outflows include the cession of certain inforce funding agreements to Catalina General Insurance Ltd. (Catalina) in 4Q’22 and the portion of the reinsurance business recaptured by Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company (VIAC) in 3Q’23. 13 The outflow rate is calculated as outflows attributable to Athene divided by average net invested assets for the respective period, on an annualized basis.

1 Securities denoted as non-rated by the NRSRO were classified as investment or non-investment grade according to the security’s respective NAIC designation. With respect to modeled loan backed and structured securities (LBaSS), the NAIC designation methodology differs in significant respects from the NRSRO ratings methodology. NRSRO ratings methodology is focused on the likelihood of recovery of all contractual payments, including principal at par regardless of entry price, while the NAIC designation methodology considers an investment at amortized cost, and the likelihood of recovery of that book value. We view the NAIC designation methodology as the most appropriate way to view our AFS portfolio when evaluating credit risk since a portion of our holdings were purchased at a significant discount to par.

Note: Please refer to the Notes to the Financial Supplement section for discussion on net reserve liabilities and the Non-GAAP Measure Reconciliations section for the reconciliation of total liabilities to net reserve liabilities. Net reserve liabilities include our economic ownership of ACRA reserve liabilities but do not include the reserve liabilities associated with the noncontrolling interests. 1 Funding agreements are comprised of funding agreements issued under our FABN and FABR programs, funding agreements issued to the FHLB and long-term repurchase agreements. 2 Gross inflows equal inflows from our retail, flow reinsurance and institutional channels as well as inflows for life and products other than deferred annuities or our institutional products, renewal inflows on older blocks of business, annuitizations and foreign currency translation adjustments on large transactions between the transaction date and the translation period. Gross inflows include all inflows sourced by Athene, including all of the inflows reinsured to ACRA. 3 Acquisition and block reinsurance transactions include the reserve liabilities acquired in our inorganic channel at inception. On November 6, 2023, we entered into an agreement with a Japanese counterparty, effective October 1, 2023, pursuant to which we agreed to reinsure a block of whole life insurance policies on a coinsurance basis. In conjunction with the transaction, we entered into an agreement with a leading mortality reinsurer to retrocede the mortality risk related to this block of business. 4 Strategic reinsurance outflows include the cession of certain inforce funding agreements to Catalina in 4Q’22 and the portion of the reinsurance business recaptured by VIAC in 3Q’23. 5 Effective July 1, 2023, ALRe sold 50% of ACRA 2’s economic interests to ADIP II, resulting in approximately $6.8 billion of inflows attributable to Athene for the first six months of 2023 being retroactively attributed to ADIP II. The ADIP II reserve liabilities at inception on July 1, 2023 were $7.0 billion. Effective December 31, 2023, ADIP II’s ownership of economic interests in ACRA 2 increased to 60%, with ALRe owning the remaining 40% of economic interests.

Notes to the Financial Supplement

athene-logo_rgba.jpg
KEY OPERATING AND NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to our results presented in accordance with US GAAP, we present certain financial information that includes non-GAAP measures. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures, together with the relevant US GAAP measures, provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of our business. The majority of these non-GAAP measures are intended to remove from the results of operations the impact of market volatility (other than with respect to alternative investments), which consists of investment gains (losses), net of offsets and non-operating change in insurance liabilities and related derivatives, both defined below, as well as integration, restructuring, stock compensation and certain other expenses which are not part of our underlying profitability drivers, as such items fluctuate from period to period in a manner inconsistent with these drivers. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results in accordance with US GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the corresponding US GAAP measures.

SPREAD RELATED EARNINGS AND NET SPREAD
Spread related earnings is a pre-tax non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our financial performance excluding market volatility and expenses related to integration, restructuring, stock compensation and other expenses. Our spread related earnings equals net income (loss) available to AHL common stockholder adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following:

Investment Gains (Losses), Net of Offsets—Consists of the realized gains and losses on the sale of AFS securities, the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, unrealized gains and losses, changes in the provision for credit losses and other investment gains and losses. Unrealized, allowances and other investment gains and losses are comprised of the fair value adjustments of trading securities (other than certain equity tranche securities) and mortgage loans, investments held under the fair value option, derivative gains and losses not hedging FIA index credits, foreign exchange impacts and the change in provision for credit losses recognized in operations net of the change in AmerUs Closed Block fair value reserve related to the corresponding change in fair value of investments. The change in fair value of our investment in Apollo was included in prior years. Investment gains and losses are net of offsets related to the market value adjustments (MVA) associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts.
Non-operating Change in Insurance Liabilities and Related Derivatives
Change in Fair Values of Derivatives and Embedded Derivatives – FIAs—Consists of impacts related to the fair value accounting for derivatives hedging the FIA index credits and the related embedded derivative liability fluctuations from period to period. The index reserve is measured at fair value for the current period and all periods beyond the current policyholder index term. However, the FIA hedging derivatives are purchased to hedge only the current index period. Upon policyholder renewal at the end of the period, new FIA hedging derivatives are purchased to align with the new term. The difference in duration between the FIA hedging derivatives and the index credit reserves creates a timing difference in earnings. This timing difference of the FIA hedging derivatives and index credit reserves is included as a non-operating adjustment. We primarily hedge with options that align with the index terms of our FIA products (typically 1–2 years). On an economic basis, we believe this is suitable because policyholder accounts are credited with index performance at the end of each index term. However, because the term of an embedded derivative in an FIA contract is longer-dated, there is a duration mismatch which may lead to mismatches for accounting purposes.
Non-operating Change in Funding Agreements—Consists of timing differences caused by changes to interest rates on variable funding agreements and funding agreement backed notes and the associated reserve accretion patterns of those contracts. Further included are adjustments for gains associated with our repurchases of funding agreement backed notes.
Change in Fair Value of Market Risk Benefits—Consists primarily of volatility in capital market inputs used in the measurement at fair value of our market risk benefits, including certain impacts from changes in interest rates, equity returns and implied equity volatilities.
Non-operating Change in Liability for Future Policy Benefits—Consists of the non-economic loss incurred at issuance for certain pension group annuities and other payout annuities with life contingencies when valuation interest rates prescribed by US GAAP are lower than the net investment earned rates, adjusted for profit, assumed in pricing. For such contracts with non-economic US GAAP losses, the SRE reserve accretes interest using an imputed discount rate that produces zero gain or loss at issuance.
Integration, Restructuring, and Other Non-operating Expenses—Consists of restructuring and integration expenses related to acquisitions and block reinsurance costs as well as certain other expenses, which are not predictable or related to our underlying profitability drivers.
Stock Compensation Expense—Consists of stock compensation expenses associated with our share incentive plans, including long-term incentive expenses, which are not related to our underlying profitability drivers and fluctuate from time to time due to the structure of our plans.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit—Consists of the income tax effect of all income statement adjustments, including our Apollo investment in prior years, and is computed by applying the appropriate jurisdiction’s tax rate to all adjustments subject to income tax.
We consider these adjustments to be meaningful adjustments to net income (loss) available to AHL common stockholder for the reasons discussed in greater detail above. Accordingly, we believe using a measure which excludes the impact of these items is useful in analyzing our business performance and the trends in our results of operations. Together with net income (loss) available to AHL common stockholder, we believe spread related earnings provides a meaningful financial metric that helps investors understand our underlying results and profitability. Spread related earnings should not be used as a substitute for net income (loss) available to AHL common stockholder.

Net spread is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our financial performance and profitability. Net spread is computed using our spread related earnings divided by average net invested assets for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze this measure across periods, interim periods are annualized. While we believe this metric is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for ROA presented under US GAAP.

SRE, EXCLUDING NOTABLE ITEMS AND NET SPREAD, EXCLUDING NOTABLE ITEMS
Spread related earnings, excluding notable items and net spread, excluding notable items represent SRE and net spread with an adjustment to exclude notable items. Notable items include unusual variability such as actuarial experience, assumption updates and other insurance adjustments. We use these measures to assess the long-term performance of the business against projected earnings, by excluding items that are expected to be infrequent or not indicative of the ongoing operations of the business. We view these non-GAAP measures as additional measures that provide insight to management and investors on the historical, period-to-period comparability of our key non-GAAP operating measures.

NET INVESTMENT SPREAD
Net investment spread is a key measure of profitability used in analyzing the trends of our core business operations. Net investment spread measures our investment performance plus our strategic capital management fees, less our total cost of funds. Net investment earned rate is a key measure of our investment performance while cost of funds is a key measure of the cost of our policyholder benefits and liabilities. Strategic capital management fees consist of management fees received by us for business managed for others, primarily the noncontrolling interest portion of our business ceded to ACRA.
Net investment earned rate is a non-GAAP measure we use to evaluate the performance of our net invested assets. Net investment earned rate is computed as the income from our net invested assets divided by the average net invested assets, for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. The adjustments to net investment income to arrive at our net investment earnings add (a) alternative investment gains and losses, (b) gains and losses related to certain equity securities, (c) net VIE impacts (revenues, expenses and noncontrolling interest), (d) forward points gains and losses on foreign exchange derivative hedges, (e) amortization of premium/discount on held-for-trading securities and (f) the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, and remove the proportionate share of the ACRA net investment income associated with the noncontrolling interests. The gain or loss on our investment in Apollo was removed in prior years. We include the income and assets supporting our change in fair value of reinsurance assets by evaluating the underlying investments of the funds withheld at interest receivables and we include the net investment income from those underlying investments which does not correspond to the US GAAP presentation of change in fair value of reinsurance assets. We exclude the income and assets on business related to ceded reinsurance transactions. We believe the adjustments for reinsurance provide a net investment earned rate on the assets for which we have economic exposure. We believe a measure like net investment earned rate is useful in analyzing the trends of our core business operations, profitability and pricing discipline. While we believe net investment earned rate is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for net investment income presented under US GAAP.
Cost of funds includes liability costs related to cost of crediting on both deferred annuities and institutional products as well as other liability costs, but does not include the proportionate share of the ACRA cost of funds associated with the noncontrolling interests. Cost of crediting on deferred annuities is the interest credited to the policyholders on our fixed strategies as well as the option costs on the indexed annuity strategies. With respect to FIAs, the cost of providing index credits includes the expenses incurred to fund the annual index credits, and where applicable, minimum guaranteed interest credited. Cost of crediting on institutional products is comprised of (1) pension group annuity costs, including interest credited, benefit payments and other reserve changes, net of premiums received when issued, and (2) funding agreement costs, including the interest payments and other reserve changes. Additionally, cost of crediting includes forward points gains and losses on foreign exchange derivative hedges. Other liability costs include DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization, certain market risk benefit costs, the cost of liabilities on products other than deferred annuities and institutional products, premiums and certain product charges and other revenues. We include the costs related to business added through assumed reinsurance transactions and exclude the costs on business related to ceded reinsurance transactions. Cost of funds is computed as the total liability costs divided by the average net invested assets for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. We believe a measure like cost of funds is useful in analyzing the trends of our core business operations, profitability and pricing discipline. While we believe cost of funds is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for total benefits and expenses presented under US GAAP.

NET INVESTMENT SPREAD, EXCLUDING NOTABLE ITEMS
Net investment spread, excluding notable items represents net investment spread with an adjustment to exclude notable items. Notable items include unusual variability such as actuarial experience, assumption updates and other insurance adjustments. We use this measure to assess the long-term performance of the business against projected earnings, by excluding items that are expected to be infrequent or not indicative of the ongoing operations of the business. We view this non-GAAP measure as an additional measure that provides insight to management and investors on the historical, period-to-period comparability of our key non-GAAP operating measures.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
Other operating expenses excludes integration, restructuring and other non-operating expenses, stock compensation and long-term incentive plan expenses, interest expense, policy acquisition expenses, net of deferrals, and the proportionate share of the ACRA operating expenses associated with the noncontrolling interests. We believe a measure like other operating expenses is useful in analyzing the trends of our core business operations and profitability. While we believe other operating expenses is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for policy and other operating expenses presented under US GAAP.

ADJUSTED DEBT-TO-CAPITAL RATIO
Adjusted debt-to-capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our capital structure excluding the impacts of AOCI and the cumulative changes in fair value of funds withheld and modco reinsurance assets as well as mortgage loan assets, net of tax. Adjusted debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as total debt at notional value divided by adjusted capitalization. Adjusted capitalization includes our adjusted AHL common stockholder’s equity, preferred stock and the notional value of our debt. Adjusted AHL common stockholder’s equity is calculated as the ending AHL stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI, the cumulative changes in fair value of funds withheld and modco reinsurance assets and mortgage loan assets as well as preferred stock. These adjustments fluctuate period to period in a manner inconsistent with our underlying profitability drivers as the majority of such fluctuation is related to the market volatility of the unrealized gains and losses associated with our AFS securities, reinsurance assets and mortgage loans. Except with respect to reinvestment activity relating to acquired blocks of businesses, we typically buy and hold investments to maturity throughout the duration of market fluctuations, therefore, the period-over-period impacts in unrealized gains and losses are not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance. Adjusted debt-to-capital ratio should not be used as a substitute for the debt-to-capital ratio. However, we believe the adjustments to stockholders’ equity are significant to gaining an understanding of our capitalization, debt utilization and debt capacity.

NET INVESTED ASSETS
In managing our business, we analyze net invested assets, which does not correspond to total investments, including investments in related parties, as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Net invested assets represent the investments that directly back our net reserve liabilities as well as surplus assets. Net invested assets is used in the computation of net investment earned rate, which allows us to analyze the profitability of our investment portfolio. Net invested assets include (a) total investments on the consolidated balance sheets, with AFS securities, trading securities and mortgage loans at cost or amortized cost, excluding derivatives, (b) cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, (c) investments in related parties, (d) accrued investment income, (e) VIE assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest adjustments, (f) net investment payables and receivables, (g) policy loans ceded (which offset the direct policy loans in total investments) and (h) an adjustment for the allowance for credit losses. Net invested assets exclude the derivative collateral offsetting the related cash positions. We include the underlying investments supporting our assumed funds withheld and modco agreements and exclude the underlying investments related to ceded reinsurance transactions in our net invested assets calculation in order to match the assets with the income received. We believe the adjustments for reinsurance provide a view of the assets for which we have economic exposure. Net invested assets include our proportionate share of ACRA investments, based on our economic ownership, but do not include the proportionate share of investments associated with the noncontrolling interests. Our net invested assets are averaged over the number of quarters in the relevant period to compute our net investment earned rate for such period. While we believe net invested assets is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying drivers of our investment portfolio, it should not be used as a substitute for total investments, including related parties, presented under US GAAP.

Notes to the Financial Supplement, continued

NET RESERVE LIABILITIES
In managing our business, we also analyze net reserve liabilities, which does not correspond to total liabilities as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Net reserve liabilities represent our policyholder liability obligations net of reinsurance and are used to analyze the costs of our liabilities. Net reserve liabilities include (a) interest sensitive contract liabilities, (b) future policy benefits, (c) net market risk benefits, (d) long-term repurchase obligations, (e) dividends payable to policyholders and (f) other policy claims and benefits, offset by reinsurance recoverable, excluding policy loans ceded. Net reserve liabilities include our proportionate share of ACRA reserve liabilities, based on our economic ownership, but do not include the proportionate share of reserve liabilities associated with the noncontrolling interests. Net reserve liabilities are net of the ceded liabilities to third-party reinsurers as the costs of the liabilities are passed to such reinsurers and, therefore, we have no net economic exposure to such liabilities, assuming our reinsurance counterparties perform under our agreements. The majority of our ceded reinsurance is a result of reinsuring large blocks of life insurance business following acquisitions as well as strategic reinsurance transactions. For such transactions, US GAAP requires the ceded liabilities and related reinsurance recoverables to continue to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements despite the transfer of economic risk to the counterparty in connection with the reinsurance transaction. We include the underlying liabilities assumed through modco reinsurance agreements in our net reserve liabilities calculation in order to match the liabilities with the expenses incurred. While we believe net reserve liabilities is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for total liabilities presented under US GAAP.

SALES
Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under US GAAP but are used as relevant measures to understand our business performance as it relates to inflows generated during a specific period of time. Our sales statistics include inflows for fixed rate annuities and FIAs and align with the LIMRA definition of all money paid into an individual annuity, including money paid into new contracts with initial purchase occurring in the specified period and existing contracts with initial purchase occurring prior to the specified period (excluding internal transfers). We believe sales is a meaningful metric that enhances our understanding of our business performance and is not the same as premiums presented in our consolidated statements of income (loss).
