Brighthouse Financial: Buyout Rumors and Q1 Earnings Report

Speculation Surrounding Brighthouse Financial

Recent rumors about a potential sale of Brighthouse Financial have emerged, capturing the attention of market analysts. During a conference call with Wall Street on Friday, CEO Eric Steigerwalt opted to remain tight-lipped about the speculation. “We are not starting rumors, so I’ll just leave this,” he stated, indicating a focus on the company’s core operations instead.

Buyout Offer from Sixth Street and Carlyle Group

According to a report by Semafor, Sixth Street and Carlyle Group have submitted a joint offer for Brighthouse Financial, potentially valuing the company at $9 billion. This offer highlights the interest big financial players have in Brighthouse amid ongoing discussions about its future direction.

Q1 Performance Overview

In its first-quarter results, Brighthouse Financial reported a significant loss of $268 million in net profit. The insurer has made strides in improving its risk-based capital (RBC) ratio, which currently stands between 420% and 440%, up from 400% to 450% industry standards. This improvement comes after an infusion of $100 million into the holding company.

Challenges and Opportunities

Despite efforts to enhance its RBC ratio, Brighthouse experienced a 21% decline in annuity sales compared to the previous year. Rising expenses also contributed to the company’s overall financial challenges. However, CEO Steigerwalt expressed optimism about their strategy, citing a commitment to profitable growth and operational resilience.

Future Strategies and Partnerships

Brighthouse is also evaluating its position in the market, especially with recent transactions involving competitors. For instance, a partnership between Lincoln Financial and Capital Bath aims to facilitate strategic initiatives. While Steigerwalt refrained from commenting directly on this deal, he acknowledged the potential it holds for the industry.

Updates on Reinsurance and Risk Management

In late 2024, Brighthouse completed several reinsurance transactions aimed at mitigating risk associated with inherited fixed annuities and universal life products. Chief Financial Officer Ed Spehar noted that this risk management strategy will continue into 2025, enhancing the company’s stability and long-term growth prospects.

Key Financial Highlights

  • Total income: $2.4 billion compared to $74 million in Q1 2024
  • Net income: -$268 million, an improvement from -$493 million in Q1 2024
  • Adjusted profit: $4.17 per share, slightly down from $4.25 in the same quarter last year
  • Share buybacks: $59 million recently invested
