For the year ended December 31, 2025, the International Insurance segment had lower reserves compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to matured endowments, which outpaced reserves added for new business sales and assumptions updates to reflect higher than anticipated persistency in later durations. For the year ended
December 31, 2025, the Domestic Insurance segment had higher reserves compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by high new business sales which were partially offset by favorable assumptions updates reflecting better mortality than previous assumptions.
