Summarized from source with an LLMView SourceSector: FinanceLatest Results (19.10.2025):
MetLife Inc. reported its second quarter of 2025 results, showcasing a mix of challenges and growth opportunities. While net income and adjusted earnings declined compared to the previous year, the company experienced significant growth in net investment income and maintained strong regional performance in Latin America and EMEA. MetLife continues to focus on its strategic initiatives to deliver value to its shareholders amidst a fluctuating market environment.
Decline in Net Income
Net income for the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 23% to $698 million, with net income per share falling by 20% to $1.03. The decline was primarily driven by higher net derivative losses and lower adjusted earnings.
Adjusted Earnings Down
Adjusted earnings for the quarter were $1.4 billion, representing a 16% decrease on a reported basis and an 11% decline per share. The reduction was attributed to less favorable underwriting results and lower investment margins, partially offset by volume growth and improved expense margins.
Increase in Net Investment Income
Net investment income rose by 9% to $5.7 billion, primarily due to increases in the estimated fair value of certain securities. Adjusted net investment income also saw a 1% growth, driven by asset expansion.
Premiums, Fees, and Other Revenues
Premiums, fees, and other revenues (PFOs) were reported at $12.7 billion, a 6% decrease from the previous year. However, adjusted PFOs excluding pension risk transfers increased by 5% to $12.4 billion, supported by growth in all segments except MetLife Holdings.
Shareholder Returns and Book Value
MetLife returned approximately $900 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. Additionally, the book value per share increased by 7% to $35.79, while adjusted book value per share rose by 6% to $56.23.
Regional Performance
Growth was notable in Latin America and EMEA, with adjusted earnings rising by 3% and 30% respectively on a reported basis. Asia sales also increased by 9% on a constant currency basis, driven by strong performances in Japan and Korea.
