BUSINESS SEGMENT DISCUSSIONS
All comparisons of first quarter 2011 results in the segment discussions below are with the first quarter of 2010, unless otherwise noted. Reconciliations of segment net income to segment operating earnings are provided in the tables that accompany this release and in the First Quarter 2011 Quarterly Financial Supplement, which is available on the Investor Relations section of www.metlife.com.
U.S. BUSINESS
  U.S. Business premiums, fees & other revenues of $7.0 billion
  Record variable annuity sales of $5.7 billion, up 41%
  Operating earnings of $908 million, up 15% due to increases in Insurance Products, Retirement Products and Corporate Benefit Funding
Insurance Products
Premiums, fees & other revenues for Insurance Products — which includes group life, individual life and non-medical health insurance — were $5.0 billion, down 2%. Operating earnings for Insurance Products were $350 million, up 17% driven by strong underwriting results in group life and non-medical health. Results reflect the company’s continued commitment to pricing discipline.

2


 

Retirement Products
Premiums, fees & other revenues for Retirement Products — which includes the company’s U.S. annuity products — were $867 million, up 13%. Total annuity sales increased 34% to $6.1 billion, driven by strong growth in variable annuities across all distribution channels. In addition, total annuity net flows were strong at $2.6 billion and higher than in both the first and fourth quarters of 2010. Operating earnings for Retirement Products were $212 million, up 5% driven by higher separate account fee income.
Corporate Benefit Funding
Premiums, fees & other revenues for Corporate Benefit Funding — which includes the U.S. and U.K. pension closeout businesses, structured settlements and other corporate benefit funding products — were $405 million, down from $789 million, due to lower pension closeout sales (which fluctuate from quarter to quarter) and a decline in structured settlement sales, which were very strong in the first quarter of 2010. Total assets (general and separate accounts) in Corporate Benefit Funding grew 10% to reach $159.7 billion and operating earnings were $289 million, up 31% primarily due to higher net investment income.
Auto & Home
Net written premiums for Auto & Home were $719 million, up 3% due to growth across the business. Operating earnings were $57 million, down 21% largely due to severe weather in the Northeast in the first quarter of 2011. In addition, catastrophe losses were $14 million higher than expected. Favorable non-catastrophe claim development related to prior accident years was $10 million, after tax, compared with $5 million, after tax, in the first quarter of 2010. Excluding catastrophes, Auto & Home’s combined ratio was 92.3%, compared with 88.8%.
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
  International premiums, fees & other revenues of $3.8 billion, up from $1.1 billion driven by the acquisition of Alico and reflecting particularly strong performance in the Latin America and Asia Pacific regions
  Total International sales up 27%; Japan sales up 45%, both based on combined MetLife and Alico first quarter 2010 results
  Operating earnings of $567 million, up from $147 million largely due to the acquisition of Alico
Japan
Premiums, fees & other revenues in Japan were $1.7 billion and reflect strong sales, particularly in life and accident & health insurance, as well as improved persistency. Operating earnings in Japan were strong at $290 million and reflect both growth in the business as well as higher net investment income.
MetLife currently expects that the impact to the company’s second quarter 2011 operating earnings from additional insurance claims and increased operating expenses due to the March 11 earthquake in Japan will be between $45 million and $65 million, after tax.
Other International Regions
Premiums, fees & other revenues in MetLife’s Other International Regions were $2.1 billion, up 86% largely driven by the Alico acquisition as well as strong performance in the Latin America

3


 

and Asia Pacific regions. In Latin America, growth in the institutional business in Mexico, the group life and dental businesses in Brazil and in accident & health insurance in both Chile and Argentina contributed to the region’s strong results. In the Asia Pacific region, growth was driven by strong life insurance sales through the agency channel in Korea. Operating earnings in the Other International Regions were also strong at $277 million due to growth in the business.
BANKING, CORPORATE & OTHER
Total operating revenues for MetLife Bank were down 8% to $275 million while its operating earnings were $11 million, down from $53 million, reflecting lower mortgage refinancing activity. MetLife Bank’s total assets at March 31, 2011 were $15.6 billion, up 15% from March 31, 2010.
Corporate & Other had an operating loss of $68 million, compared with an operating loss of $127 million. Results in the first quarter of 2011 benefited from higher net investment income.
INVESTMENTS
  Investment portfolio of $452.5 billion, up from $345.7 billion at March 31, 2010 largely due to the acquisition of Alico
  Strong net investment income of $4.9 billion, up 14%
  Net investment portfolio loss of $29 million, after tax (including impairments of $59 million, after tax), compared with a net investment portfolio loss of $23 million, after tax
Net investment income was $4.9 billion, up 14% from the first quarter of 2010 and up 8% from the fourth quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, variable investment income was $434 million ($279 million, after tax and the impact of DAC), driven by strong performance from private equity funds.
For the quarter, MetLife reported a $29 million, after tax, net investment portfolio loss. The company also reported $254 million, after tax, in derivative losses primarily due to higher interest rates and a weaker U.S. dollar. MetLife uses derivatives in connection with its broader portfolio management strategy to hedge a number of risks, including changes in interest rates and fluctuations in foreign currencies. Movement in interest rates, foreign currencies and MetLife’s own credit spread — which impacts the valuation of certain insurance liabilities — can generate derivative gains or losses. Derivative gains or losses related to MetLife’s own credit spread do not have an economic impact on the company.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Disclosures
All references in this press release (except in this section) to net income (loss), net income (loss) per share, operating earnings, operating earnings per share and book value per share should be read as net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders, net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders per diluted common share, operating earnings available to common shareholders, operating earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share and book value per common share, respectively.
Operating earnings is the measure of segment profit or loss that MetLife uses to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources and, consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) accounting guidance for segment reporting, is MetLife’s measure of segment performance. Operating earnings is also a measure by which MetLife senior management’s and many other employees’ performance is evaluated for the purposes of determining their compensation under applicable compensation plans.
Operating earnings is defined as operating revenues less operating expenses, both net of income tax. Operating earnings available to common shareholders is defined as operating earnings less preferred stock dividends.
Operating revenues exclude net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses). The following additional adjustments are made to GAAP revenues, in the line items indicated, in calculating operating revenues:
  Universal life and investment-type product policy fees exclude the amortization of unearned revenue related to net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses) and certain variable annuity guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIB”) fees (“GMIB Fees”);
  Net investment income: (i) includes amounts for scheduled periodic settlement payments and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of investments but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, (ii) includes income from discontinued real estate operations, (iii) excludes certain amounts related to contractholder-directed unit-linked investments, (iv) excludes post-tax operating earnings adjustments relating to insurance joint ventures accounted for under the equity method and (v) excludes certain amounts related to

5


 

    securitization entities that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) consolidated under GAAP; and
  Other revenues are adjusted for settlements of foreign currency earnings hedges.
The following adjustments are made to GAAP expenses, in the line items indicated, in calculating operating expenses:
  Policyholder benefits and claims and policyholder dividends exclude (i) changes in the policyholder dividend obligation related to net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses), (ii) inflation-indexed benefit adjustments associated with contracts backed by inflation-indexed investments and amounts associated with periodic crediting rate adjustments based on the total return of a contractually referenced pool of assets, (iii) benefits and hedging costs related to GMIBs (“GMIB Costs”) and (iv) market value adjustments associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts (“Market Value Adjustments”);
  Interest credited to policyholder account balances includes adjustments for scheduled periodic settlement payments and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of policyholder account balances but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and amounts related to net investment income earned on contractholder-directed unit-linked investments;
  Amortization of DAC and value of business acquired (“VOBA”) excludes amounts related to (i) net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses), (ii) GMIB Fees and GMIB Costs and (iii) Market Value Adjustments;
  Amortization of negative VOBA excludes amounts related to Market Value Adjustments;
  Interest expense on debt excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP; and
  Other expenses exclude costs related to (i) noncontrolling interests, (ii) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements and (iii) business combinations.
MetLife believes the presentation of operating earnings and operating earnings available to common shareholders as MetLife measures it for management purposes enhances the understanding of the company’s performance by highlighting the results from operations and the underlying profitability drivers of the business. Operating revenues, operating expenses, operating earnings, operating earnings available to common shareholders, operating earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share, book value per common share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and book value per diluted common share, excluding AOCI should not be viewed as substitutes for the following financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP: GAAP revenues, GAAP expenses, GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations, net of income tax, GAAP net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders and GAAP net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders per diluted common share, book value per common share and book value per diluted share, respectively. These reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the First Quarter 2011 Quarterly Financial Supplement and in the tables that accompany this earnings press release.
Statistical sales information for life insurance is calculated by MetLife using the LIMRA International, Inc. definition of sales for core direct sales, excluding company sponsored internal

exchanges, corporate-owned life insurance, bank-owned life insurance, and private placement variable universal life insurance. Individual annuities sales consists of statutory premiums direct and assumed, excluding company sponsored internal exchanges.

(1)   In the first quarter of 2011, management modified its definition of operating earnings and operating earnings available to common shareholders to exclude impacts related to certain variable annuity guarantees and market value adjustments associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts to better conform to the way it manages and assesses its business. Operating earnings and operating earnings available to common shareholders results for prior periods have been adjusted to conform to this modified definition.
 
(2)   During the first quarter of 2011, MetLife, Inc. entered into a definitive agreement to sell its wholly-owned subsidiary, MetLife Taiwan Insurance Company Limited (“MetLife Taiwan”), to a third-party. The operations and financial position of MetLife Taiwan have been reflected as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operating earnings available to common shareholders and consolidated balance sheets.
 
(3)   On March 8, 2011, MetLife, Inc. repurchased and canceled the 6,857,000 shares of convertible preferred stock issued to AM Holdings LLC (formerly known as ALICO Holdings LLC) in connection with the financing of the acquisition of American Life Insurance Company and Delaware American Life Insurance Company (collectively, “ALICO”) in November 2010. This resulted in a preferred stock redemption premium of $146 million.
 
(4)   In the first quarter of 2011, management realigned the reporting of net derivative gains (losses) related to certain income annuity products to better conform to the way it manages and assesses its business. These net derivative gains (losses) results, which were previously reported in the Corporate Benefit Funding segment, are now reported in the Retirement Products segment.
 
(5)   In the first quarter of 2011, the Company began reporting the results of its international operations as two separate segments to reflect a change in the manner in which the financial results are reviewed and evaluated by executive management. The assets, liabilities and the operating results relating to the acquisition of ALICO are included in Japan and Other International Regions segments. The Japan segment is comprised of the business acquired in the acquisition of ALICO. Prior period results have been adjusted to conform to this new presentation of segments.
