METLIFE INC 8-K

What Happened

• MetLife, Inc. filed a Form 8-K (Regulation FD disclosure) reporting preliminary, unaudited variable investment income of approximately $220 million to $270 million (pre-tax) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
• The company noted this figure compares to full-year 2026 guidance of about $1.6 billion (pre-tax). MetLife said variable investment income includes private equity, real estate and other funds and prepayment fees. The company will release its full quarterly earnings and financial supplement on August 5, 2026.

Key Details

• Preliminary Q2 2026 variable investment income: $220M–$270M (pre-tax).
• Full-year 2026 variable investment income guidance: ~ $1.6B (pre-tax).
• Disclosure type/date: Form 8-K (Regulation FD), filed June 29, 2026; full results scheduled Aug 5, 2026.
• Results are estimated and unaudited; MetLife has not completed quarter-end close and warns actual results could be materially different.

Why It Matters

• Variable investment income is a contributor to MetLife’s investment results and overall quarterly earnings; the Q2 estimate represents roughly 14%–17% of the company’s $1.6B 2026 guidance.
• Because these are preliminary, unaudited figures, investors should wait for the August 5 earnings release and financial supplement for finalized, GAAP-prepared results. MetLife also cautioned that forward-looking statements are subject to risks and may change.
