SECOND QUARTER 2011 SUMMARY

•

Operating earnings of $1.3 billion, or $1.24 per share, reflecting:

o

strong variable investment income, which was above the plan range by $46 million, or $0.04 per share, after tax and the impact of deferred acquisition costs (DAC)

severe storm-related catastrophe losses in the Auto & Home business that were $137 million ($0.13 per share), after tax, higher than the company’s quarterly plan provision of $37 million

o

additional insurance claims and increased operating expenses of $44 million ($0.04 per share), after tax, due to the March 11 earthquake in Japan

•		U.S. annuity sales of $7.3 billion, up 48% over the second quarter of 2010, driven by strong demand for variable annuities
•		Total International* sales more than doubled on a reported basis over the second quarter of 2010 and were up 25% compared with combined MetLife and Alico second quarter 2010 results
•		Premiums, fees & other revenues of $11.8 billion, up 38% over the second quarter of 2010, largely due to the acquisition of Alico, and up 8% over the first quarter of 2011 due to growth in both the U.S. and International businesses

BUSINESS SEGMENT DISCUSSIONS

All comparisons of second quarter 2011 results in the segment discussions that follow are with the second 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 Second Quarter 2011 Quarterly Financial Supplement, which is available on the Investor Relations section of www.metlife.com.

U.S. BUSINESS

•		U.S. Business operating earnings of $908 million, up 12% due to increases in Insurance Products, Retirement Products and Corporate Benefit Funding
•		Variable annuity sales of almost $7.0 billion, up 55%
•		Excellent underwriting results in group life as well as continued improvement in non-medical health, particularly in the dental business
•		Premiums, fees & other revenues of $7.6 billion, up 6% due to premium growth in Corporate Benefit Funding and higher fee revenue in Retirement Products

Insurance Products
Operating earnings for Insurance Products — which includes group life, individual life and non-medical health insurance — were $449 million, up 22% due to increases in all three business lines. In particular, the rise in earnings was driven by record underwriting results in group life, solid underwriting in non-medical health and higher net investment income. Premiums, fees & other revenues for Insurance Products were $5.0 billion, relatively unchanged.

Retirement Products
Operating earnings for Retirement Products — which includes the company’s U.S. annuity products — were $201 million, up 48% driven by higher separate account fee income. Total annuity sales increased 48% to $7.3 billion, driven by strong growth in variable annuities across all distribution channels. In addition, total annuity net flows were very strong at $3.8 billion and higher than in both the first quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2010. Premiums, fees & other revenues for Retirement Products were $937 million, up 15% due to higher fee income.

Corporate Benefit Funding
Operating earnings for Corporate Benefit Funding — which includes the U.S. and U.K. pension closeout businesses, structured settlements and other benefit funding products — were $314 million, up 34% primarily due to higher net investment income. Total general and separate accounts grew a combined 12% to reach $162.9 billion. Premiums, fees & other revenues for Corporate Benefit Funding were $900 million, up 53% due to higher pension closeout sales (which fluctuate from quarter to quarter) and higher structured settlement sales.

Auto & Home
Auto & Home had an operating loss of $56 million, compared with operating earnings of $73 million as unusually heavy storm activity contributed to catastrophe losses of $174 million, after tax — $137 million higher than the company’s quarterly plan provision. The higher losses in the second quarter of 2011 were partially offset by favorable non-catastrophe claim development related to prior accident years of $17 million, after tax, compared with $12 million, after tax, in the second quarter of 2010. Excluding catastrophes, Auto & Home’s combined ratio was strong at 85.7%, compared with 85.5%. Net written premiums for Auto & Home were $778 million, up 2%.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

•		International operating earnings of $507 million, up from $142 million largely due to the acquisition of Alico
•		Total International sales up 25%, including a 28% increase in Japan, compared with combined MetLife and Alico second quarter 2010 results
•		Premiums, fees & other revenues of $4.0 billion, up 4% over the first quarter of 2011 and reflecting strong performance in Japan and Latin America as well as the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates

Japan
Operating earnings in Japan were $245 million, reflecting strong business performance and high net investment income and partially reduced by the previously mentioned claims and expenses due to the March earthquake. Premiums, fees & other revenues in Japan were up 5% over the first quarter of 2011 at $1.8 billion and reflect strong sales in life and accident & health insurance, particularly through face to face distribution channels, as well as improved persistency.

Other International Regions
Operating earnings in the Other International Regions were $262 million, up 85%, while premiums, fees & other revenues grew to $2.2 billion. The increase in both earnings and revenues was largely due to the Alico acquisition. In Latin America, growth in the accident and health business across the region and in the institutional business in Mexico also contributed to the increase in the segment’s premiums, fees and other revenues.

BANKING, CORPORATE & OTHER

Operating earnings for MetLife Bank were $14 million, down from $67 million, reflecting higher expenses as well as lower mortgage origination and refinancing. MetLife Bank operating revenues were down 8% to $311 million. At June 30, 2011, total assets were $16.5 billion (including deposits of $10.0 billion), up 13% from June 30, 2010. On July 21, MetLife announced that it is exploring the sale of MetLife Bank’s depository business, which includes savings accounts, certificates of deposit and money market accounts. MetLife plans to continue offering residential mortgages.

Corporate & Other had an operating loss of $100 million, compared with an operating loss of $108 million. Results in the second quarter of 2011 benefited from higher net investment income.

INVESTMENTS

•		Investment portfolio of $466.2 billion, up from $359.6 billion at June 30, 2010 largely due to the acquisition of Alico
•		Strong net investment income of $5.1 billion, up 24%
•		Investment portfolio loss of $38 million, after tax (including impairments of $77 million, after tax), compared with an investment portfolio loss of $41 million, after tax

Net investment income was $5.1 billion, up 24% from the second quarter of 2010 and up 5% from the first quarter of 2011. During the second quarter of 2011, variable investment income

was $425 million ($269 million, after tax and the impact of DAC), driven by strong performance from securities lending and private equity funds.

For the quarter, MetLife reported a $38 million, after tax, investment portfolio loss. The company also reported $189 million, after tax, in derivative gains primarily due to lower interest rates. In the second quarter of 2010, MetLife reported $782 million, after tax, in derivative gains. 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, it 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 post-tax operating earnings adjustments relating to insurance joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, (iv) excludes certain amounts related to contractholder-directed unit-linked investments, and (v) excludes certain amounts related to 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 (loss) (“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, 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. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the Second 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.
