REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of KKR & Co. Inc.:
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition of KKR & Co. Inc. and its subsidiaries
(the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive
income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the
related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). We also
have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in
Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the
accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and
are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement,
whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects.
Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits
also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial
statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts
or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex
judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements,
taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the
critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Fair Value—Level III Investments—Refer to Notes 2, 7, and 9 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company sponsors or manages investment funds, investment vehicles and accounts (“investment funds”) that have
certain investments measured at fair value using unobservable pricing inputs and are classified as Level III Investments in the
fair value hierarchy. These Level III investments have limited observable market activity and the inputs used in the
determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
In addition, the Company recognizes carried interest from investment funds based on cumulative fund performance to
date. At the end of each reporting period, the Company calculates the carried interest that would be due to the Company
from each investment fund, pursuant to the investment fund agreement. The change in the fair value of the underlying Level
III Investments held by the investment funds is a significant input into the determination of carried interest for each reporting
period. As the fair value of underlying investments varies between reporting periods, the Company adjusts the amounts
recorded as carried interest. Accrued but unpaid carried interest as of the reporting date is reflected in investments in the
consolidated statements of financial condition.
We identified certain Level III Investments as a critical audit matter because of the unobservable pricing inputs
Management used to estimate fair value.
Performing audit procedures to evaluate the appropriateness of these inputs used by Management required a high
degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists who
possess significant investment valuation expertise.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the unobservable pricing inputs used by Management to estimate the fair values of Level
III Investments included the following, among others:
-
We involved more senior, more experienced audit team members to perform audit procedures.
-
We tested the effectiveness of controls over the determination of the fair value of Level III Investments.
-
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated Management’s process for Level III Investments
valuation, including their determination of the unobservable pricing inputs used to estimate fair value.
-
We assessed the consistency by which Management applied its process.
-
We evaluated the Company’s historical ability to accurately estimate fair value of Level III Investments by comparing
previous estimates of fair value to subsequent market transactions with third parties.
Policy Liabilities — Valuation of Policy Liabilities Associated with the Fixed-Indexed Annuity Product — Refer to Notes 2,
9,10, and 17 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s products include the fixed-indexed annuity product, which contains equity indexed features that are
considered embedded derivatives and are required to be measured at fair value. In addition, certain fixed-indexed annuity
contracts are issued with guarantees, which are considered Market Risk Benefits (“MRBs”).
Management applies significant judgment in selecting assumptions used to estimate the value of embedded derivative
liabilities and MRBs associated with the fixed-indexed annuity product. Changes in market conditions or variations in certain
assumptions could result in significant fluctuations in these estimates. Principal assumptions include surrender, withdrawal,
benefit utilization, mortality, option budgets, future index credits, equity market return, interest rates, and nonperformance
risk assumptions.
We identified the valuation of embedded derivative liabilities, and MRBs associated with the fixed-indexed annuity
product as a critical audit matter because of the inherent management judgment required in selecting assumptions.
Performing audit procedures to evaluate the judgments made and the reasonableness of assumptions and models used
in the valuations required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of auditor effort. The audit effort
included the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge, including our valuation, modeling, and actuarial
specialists, to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained from these procedures.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the valuation of embedded derivative liabilities and MRBs associated with the fixed-
indexed annuity product included the following, among others:
-
We involved more senior, more experienced audit team members to perform audit procedures.
-
We tested the effectiveness of controls over the assumptions, including controls over the underlying data used in the
valuation of these liabilities.
- With the assistance of our valuation, modeling, and actuarial specialists, we:
◦Evaluated the methods and judgments applied by Management in the determination of principal
assumptions used in the valuation of embedded derivative liabilities and MRBs associated with the fixed-
indexed annuity product.
◦Evaluated the results of underlying experience studies, capital market projections, and judgments applied by
Management in setting the assumptions.
◦Developed an independent estimate of embedded derivative liabilities and MRBs associated with the fixed-
indexed annuity production on a sample basis and evaluated differences.

KKR & CO. INC.
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
(Amounts in Thousands)
The following presents the portion of the consolidated balances provided in the consolidated statements of financial
condition attributable to consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs"). As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
KKR's consolidated VIEs consist primarily of (i) certain collateralized financing entities ("CFEs") including those CFEs holding
collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), (ii) certain investment funds, and (iii) certain VIEs formed by Global Atlantic. The
noteholders, creditors, and equity holders of these VIEs have no recourse to the assets of any other KKR entity.
With respect to consolidated CFEs and certain investment funds, the following assets may only be used to settle
obligations of these consolidated VIEs and the following liabilities are only the obligations of these consolidated VIEs and not
generally to KKR. Additionally, KKR has no right to the benefits from, nor does KKR bear the risks associated with, the assets
held by these VIEs beyond KKR's beneficial interest therein and any income generated from the VIEs. There are neither explicit
arrangements nor does KKR hold implicit variable interests that would require KKR to provide any material ongoing financial
support to the consolidated VIEs, beyond amounts previously committed to them, if any.
With respect to certain other VIEs consolidated by Global Atlantic, Global Atlantic has formed certain VIEs to either (i)
hold investments, including fixed maturity securities, consumer and other loans, renewable energy, transportation, and real
estate, or (ii) to conduct certain reinsurance activities with third party commitments. These VIEs issue beneficial interests
primarily to Global Atlantic’s insurance companies.

KKR & CO. INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data, and Except Where Noted)
1. ORGANIZATION
KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE: KKR), through its subsidiaries (collectively, "KKR"), is a leading global investment firm that offers
alternative asset management as well as capital markets and insurance solutions. KKR aims to generate attractive investment
returns by following a patient and disciplined investment approach, employing world-class people, and supporting growth in
its portfolio companies and communities. KKR sponsors investment funds that invest in private equity, credit, and real assets
and has strategic partners that manage hedge funds. KKR’s insurance subsidiaries offer retirement, life, and reinsurance
products under the management of The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC ("TGAFG" and, together with its insurance
companies and other subsidiaries, "Global Atlantic").
KKR & Co. Inc. is the parent company of KKR Group Co. Inc., which in turn owns KKR Group Holdings Corp., which is the
general partner of KKR Group Partnership L.P. ("KKR Group Partnership"). KKR & Co. Inc. both indirectly controls KKR Group
Partnership and indirectly holds Class A partner interests in KKR Group Partnership ("KKR Group Partnership Units")
representing economic interests in KKR's business. As of December 31, 2025, KKR & Co. Inc. held indirectly approximately
98.9% of the KKR Group Partnership Units. The remaining balance is held indirectly by KKR current and former employees
through restricted holdings units representing an ownership interest in KKR Group Partnership Units, which may be
exchanged for shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. ("exchangeable securities"). As limited partner interests, these KKR
Group Partnership Units are non-voting and do not entitle anyone other than KKR to manage its business and affairs. KKR
Group Partnership also has outstanding limited partner interests that provide for a carry pool provided by KKR Associates
Holdings L.P. ("Associates Holdings") and outstanding preferred units with economic terms that mirror the KKR & Co. Inc.
6.25% Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock”).
KKR’s insurance business is operated by Global Atlantic, in which KKR acquired a majority controlling interest on February
1, 2021 and of which KKR acquired all the remaining equity interests in Global Atlantic on January 2, 2024 (the “2024 GA
Acquisition”).
In this report, references to "KKR," refer to KKR & Co. Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Global Atlantic, unless the context
requires otherwise, especially in sections where "KKR" is intended to refer to the asset management and strategic holdings
businesses only. References to our "funds," "vehicles" or "investment vehicles" refer to a wide array of investment funds,
vehicles, and accounts that are advised, managed or sponsored by one or more subsidiaries of KKR, including collateralized
loan obligations ("CLOs"), certain operating companies and business development companies ("BDCs"), unless the context
requires otherwise.
Reorganization Agreement
On October 8, 2021, KKR entered into a Reorganization Agreement (the "Reorganization Agreement") with KKR Holdings
L.P. ("KKR Holdings"), KKR Management LLP (which holds the sole outstanding share of Series I preferred stock), Associates
Holdings, and the other parties thereto. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the parties agreed to undertake a series
of integrated transactions to effect a number of transformative structural and governance changes, some of which were
completed on May 31, 2022, and other changes to be completed in the future. On May 31, 2022, KKR completed the merger
transactions ("Reorganization Mergers") contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement pursuant to which KKR acquired KKR
Holdings (which changed its name to KKR Group Holdings L.P.) and all of the KKR Group Partnership Units held by it.
Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the following transactions will occur in the future on the Sunset Date (as
defined below):
i.the control of KKR & Co. Inc. by KKR Management LLP and the Series I Preferred Stock held by it will be eliminated,
ii.the voting rights for all common stock of KKR & Co. Inc., including with respect to the election of directors, will be
established on a one vote per share basis, and
iii.KKR will acquire control of Associates Holdings, the entity providing for the allocation of carry proceeds to KKR
employees, also known as the carry pool.
The “Sunset Date” will be the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 and (ii) the six-month anniversary of the first date on which
the death or permanent disability of both Mr. Henry Kravis and Mr. George Roberts (collectively, "Co-Founders") has occurred
(or any earlier date consented to by KKR Management LLP in its sole discretion). In addition, KKR Management LLP agreed not
to transfer its ownership of the sole share of Series I Preferred Stock, and, the changes to occur effective on the Sunset Date
are unconditional commitments of the parties to the Reorganization Agreement.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements (referred to hereafter as the "financial statements") have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Certain prior
period amounts in the accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation, including the
realignment of prior period investment categories to the current year investment category presentation within Notes 4, 7, 9,
and 10.
KKR consolidates the financial results of KKR Group Partnership and its consolidated entities, which include the accounts of
KKR's investment management and capital markets companies, the general partners of certain unconsolidated investment
funds, general partners of consolidated investment funds, and their respective consolidated investment funds, Global Atlantic’s
insurance companies, and certain other entities including CFEs. References to Global Atlantic hereafter includes the insurance
companies of Global Atlantic, which are consolidated by KKR starting on February 1, 2021 (the "2021 GA Acquisition Date").
The presentations in the consolidated statement of financial condition and consolidated statement of operations reflect the
significant industry diversification of KKR by its acquisition of Global Atlantic. Global Atlantic operates an insurance business, and
KKR operates an asset management business, which manages the operations of the Strategic Holdings segment (see Note 21
"Segment Reporting"), each of which possess distinct characteristics. As a result, KKR developed a two-tiered approach for the
financial statements presentation, where Global Atlantic's insurance operations are presented separately from KKR's asset
management business. KKR believes that these separate presentations provide a more informative view of the consolidated
financial position and results of operations than traditional aggregated presentations and that reporting Global Atlantic’s
insurance operations separately is appropriate given, among other factors, the relative significance of Global Atlantic’s policy
liabilities, which are not obligations of KKR & Co. Inc. (other than the insurance companies that issued them). If a traditional
aggregate presentation were to be used, KKR would expect to eliminate or combine several identical or similar captions, which
would condense the presentations, but would also reduce the level of information presented. KKR also believes that using a
traditional aggregate presentation would result in no new line items compared to the two-tier presentation included in the
financial statements in this report.
The summary of the significant accounting policies has been organized considering the two-tiered approach and includes a
section for common accounting policies and an accounting policy section for each of the two tiers when a policy is specific to
one of the tiers.
In the ordinary course of business, KKR’s Asset Management business, Strategic Holdings business, and Insurance business
enter into transactions with each other, which may include transactions pursuant to their investment management agreements
and certain financing arrangements. The borrowings from these financing arrangements are non-recourse to KKR beyond the
assets designated to support such borrowings. All of the investment management and financing arrangements amongst KKR
businesses are eliminated in consolidation.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – OVERALL
Use of Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the recognition and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, investment income (loss),
and income taxes during the reporting periods. Such estimates include but are not limited to (i) the valuation of investments and
financial instruments, (ii) the determination of the income tax provision, (iii) the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets,
(iv) the impairment of available-for-sale investments, (v) the valuation of insurance policy liabilities, including market risk
benefits, (vi) the valuation of embedded derivatives in policy liabilities and funds withheld, and (vii) the determination of the
allowance for loan losses.
Certain events particular to each industry and country or region in which the portfolio companies conduct their operations,
as well as general market, economic, political and geopolitical, regulatory, and natural disasters and catastrophes, including
public health crises, may have a significant negative impact on KKR’s investments and profitability. Such events are beyond KKR’s
control, and the likelihood that they may occur and the effect on KKR's use of estimates cannot be predicted. Actual results
could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The types of entities KKR assesses for consolidation include (i) subsidiaries, including management companies, broker-
dealers and general partners of investment funds that KKR manages, (ii) entities that have the attributes of an investment
company, like investment funds, (iii) CFEs, (iv) Global Atlantic and its insurance companies, and (v) other entities. Each of these
entities is assessed for consolidation on a case by case basis depending on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding that
entity.
Pursuant to its consolidation policy, KKR first considers whether an entity is considered a VIE and therefore whether to
apply the consolidation guidance under the VIE model. Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are assessed for consolidation as
voting interest entities ("VOEs") under the voting interest model. Most of KKR's investment funds are categorized as VIEs.
KKR's funds are, for GAAP purposes, investment companies and therefore are not required to consolidate their investments
in portfolio companies even if majority-owned and controlled. Rather, the consolidated funds and vehicles reflect their
investments at fair value as described below in "—Fair Value Measurements."
An entity in which KKR holds a variable interest is a VIE if any one of the following conditions exist: (a) the total equity
investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support, (b) the holders of the equity investment at risk (as a group) lack either the direct or indirect ability through voting rights
or similar rights to make decisions about a legal entity's activities that have a significant effect on the success of the legal entity
or the obligation to absorb the expected losses or right to receive the expected residual returns, or (c) the voting rights of some
investors are disproportionate to their obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity, their rights to receive the
expected residual returns of the legal entity, or both and substantially all of the legal entity's activities either involve or are
conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights. Limited partnerships and other similar entities
where unaffiliated limited partners have not been granted (i) substantive participatory rights or (ii) substantive rights to either
dissolve the partnership or remove the general partner ("kick-out rights") are VIEs. KKR's investment funds (i) are generally
limited partnerships, (ii) generally provide KKR with operational discretion and control, and (iii) generally have fund investors
with no substantive rights to impact ongoing governance and operating activities of the fund, including the ability to remove the
general partner, and, as such, the limited partners do not have kick-out rights.
KKR consolidates all VIEs in which it is the primary beneficiary. A reporting entity is determined to be the primary
beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE. A controlling financial interest is defined as (a) the power to direct
the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of
the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be
significant to the VIE. The consolidation guidance requires an analysis to determine (i) whether an entity in which KKR holds a
variable interest is a VIE and (ii) whether KKR's involvement, through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity or
contractually through other variable interests (for example, management and performance income), would give it a controlling
financial interest. Performance of that analysis requires the exercise of judgment. Fees earned by KKR that are customary and
commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services, and where KKR does not hold other economic
interests in the entity that would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the expected losses or returns of the entity,
would not be considered to be variable interests. KKR factors in all economic interests including interests held through related
parties, to determine if it holds a variable interest. KKR determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it
becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion when facts and circumstances change.
For entities that are determined not to be VIEs, these entities are generally considered VOEs and are evaluated under the
voting interest model. KKR consolidates VOEs it controls through a majority voting interest or through other means.
The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or VOE, depends on
the facts and circumstances for each entity, and therefore certain of KKR's investment funds may qualify as VIEs whereas others
may qualify as VOEs.
With respect to CLOs (which are generally VIEs), in KKR's role as collateral manager, KKR generally has the power to direct
the activities of the CLO that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity. In some, but not all cases, KKR,
through its residual interest in the CLO may have variable interests that represent an obligation to absorb losses of, or a right to
receive benefits from, the CLO that could potentially be significant to the CLO. In cases where KKR has both the power to direct
the activities of the CLO that most significantly impact the CLO's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of
the CLO or the right to receive benefits from the CLO that could potentially be significant to the CLO, KKR is deemed to be the
primary beneficiary and consolidates the CLO.
Global Atlantic has formed certain VIEs to hold investments, including investments in real assets, consumer and other loans
and fixed maturity securities. These VIEs issue beneficial interests primarily to Global Atlantic’s insurance companies, and Global
Atlantic maintains the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance and
bears the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant. Accordingly, Global
Atlantic is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, which are consolidated in Global Atlantic’s results.
For certain consolidated renewable energy partnerships consolidated by Global Atlantic's insurance companies, Global
Atlantic uses a hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method to allocate income and cash flows based on third-party
investors’ claim to net assets, including those for the noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests.
KKR classifies certain noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within the control of KKR outside
of permanent equity on its consolidated statements of financial condition. These redeemable noncontrolling interests are
reported using the greater of the carrying value at each reporting date as determined by the HLBV method or the estimated
redemption value in each reporting period.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities of KKR represent the non-redeemable ownership interests that are held
primarily by:
(i)third party fund investors in KKR's consolidated funds and certain other entities;
(ii)third parties in KKR's Capital Markets business line;
(iii)certain current and former employees who hold exchangeable securities; and
(iv)third-party investors in certain of Global Atlantic's consolidated entities.
For further details see Note 22 "Equity."
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Generally KKR considers all liquid short‑term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased
to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash held at consolidated entities, which represents cash that,
although not legally restricted, is not available generally to fund liquidity needs of KKR, as the use of such funds is generally
limited to the investment activities of KKR's investment funds and CFEs. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents are
considered to be reasonable estimates of their fair values.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily represent amounts that are held by third parties under certain of KKR's
financing and derivative transactions. The duration of this restricted cash generally matches the duration of the related
financing or derivative transaction. Global Atlantic’s restricted cash principally includes certain cash and cash equivalents held in
trusts formed for the benefit of ceding companies or held in connection with open derivative transactions. The carrying values
of restricted cash and cash equivalents are considered to be reasonable estimates of their fair values.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Where available, fair value is based on
observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not
available, valuation techniques are applied. These valuation techniques involve varying levels of management estimation and
judgment, the degree of which is dependent on a variety of factors.
GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability
used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the
type of financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument and the state of the marketplace, including
the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted
prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used
in measuring fair value.
Investments and financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the
observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values, as follows:
Level I - Pricing inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the
measurement date. The types of financial instruments included in this category are publicly-listed equities, U.S.
government and agencies securities, and securities sold short.
Level II - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable
as of the measurement date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
The types of financial instruments included in this category are credit investments, fixed-income securities held by
consolidated insurance companies, investments and debt obligations of consolidated CLO entities, convertible debt
securities indexed to publicly-listed securities, less liquid and restricted equity securities, certain funds withheld
payable at interest, and certain over-the-counter derivatives such as foreign currency option and forward contracts.
Level III - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and include situations where there is little, if
any, market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant
management judgment or estimation. The types of financial instruments generally included in this category are private
portfolio companies, real assets investments, certain credit investments, equity method investments for which the fair
value option was elected, certain fixed-income and structured securities held by the consolidated insurance
subsidiaries, reinsurance recoverables carried at fair value, certain insurance policy liabilities carried at fair value, and
certain embedded derivatives related to (i) certain funds withheld payable at interest, and (ii) annuities and indexed
universal life products, which contain equity-indexed features.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases,
the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. KKR's assessment of the significance of a
particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the
asset.
A significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability is an indication that transactions or quoted
prices may not be representative of fair value because in such market conditions there may be increased instances of
transactions that are not orderly. In those circumstances, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a
significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value.
The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial asset or liability and is affected by a wide variety of
factors, including, for example, the type of instrument, whether the instrument has recently been issued, whether the
instrument is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, and current market conditions. To the extent that
valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value
requires additional judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by KKR in determining fair value is greatest for
instruments categorized in Level III. The variability and availability of the observable inputs affected by the factors described
above may cause transfers between Levels I, II, and III, which KKR recognizes at the beginning of the reporting period.
Investments and other financial instruments that have readily observable market prices (such as those traded on a
securities exchange) are stated at the last quoted sales price as of the reporting date. KKR does not adjust the quoted price for
these investments, even in situations where KKR holds a large position and a sale could reasonably affect the quoted price.
Management's determination of fair value is based upon the methodologies and processes described below and may
incorporate assumptions that are management's best estimates after consideration of a variety of internal and external factors.
For certain investments where the fair value is not readily determinable, net asset value (“NAV”) is applied as a practical
expedient.
Level II Valuation Methodologies
Credit Investments, U.S. Municipal Securities, Corporate Bonds and Structured Securities: These financial instruments
generally have bid and ask prices that can be observed in the marketplace. Bid prices reflect the highest price that KKR and
others are willing to pay for an instrument. Ask prices represent the lowest price that KKR and others are willing to accept for an
instrument. For financial instruments whose inputs are based on bid-ask prices obtained from third party pricing services, fair
value may not always be a predetermined point in the bid-ask range. KKR's policy is generally to allow for mid-market pricing
and adjusting to the point within the bid-ask range that meets KKR's best estimate of fair value. KKR may also use model-derived
valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Investments and Debt Obligations of Consolidated CLO Vehicles: Investments of consolidated CLO vehicles are reported
within Investments of Consolidated CFEs and are valued using the same valuation methodology as described above for credit
investments. KKR measures CLO debt obligations on the basis of the fair value of the financial assets of the CLO.
Securities Indexed to Publicly-Listed Securities: These securities are typically valued using standard convertible security
pricing models. The key inputs into these models that require some amount of judgment are the credit spreads utilized and the
volatility assumed. To the extent the company being valued has other outstanding debt securities that are publicly-traded, the
implied credit spread on the company's other outstanding debt securities would be utilized in the valuation. To the extent the
company being valued does not have other outstanding debt securities that are publicly-traded, the credit spread will be
estimated based on the implied credit spreads observed in comparable publicly-traded debt securities. In certain cases, an
additional spread will be added to reflect an illiquidity discount due to the fact that the security being valued is not publicly-
traded. The volatility assumption is based upon the historically observed volatility of the underlying equity security into which
the convertible debt security is convertible and/or the volatility implied by the prices of options on the underlying equity
security.
Equity Securities: The valuation of certain equity securities is based on (i) an observable price for an identical security
adjusted for the effect of a restriction or leverage that collateralized the equity securities and (ii) quoted prices for identical or
similar instruments in markets that are not active.
Derivatives: The valuation incorporates observable inputs comprising yield curves, foreign currency rates, interest rate
volatility and credit spreads.
Level III Valuation Methodologies
Private Equity Investments: KKR generally employs two valuation methodologies when determining the fair value of a
private equity investment. The first methodology is typically a market comparables analysis that considers key financial inputs,
which may take into account recent public and private transactions and other available measures. The second methodology
utilized is typically a discounted cash flow analysis, which incorporates significant assumptions and judgments. Estimates of key
inputs used in this methodology include the weighted average cost of capital for the investment and assumed inputs used to
calculate terminal values, such as exit EBITDA multiples. The results of the discounted cash flow approach can be significantly
impacted by these estimates. Other inputs are also used in both methodologies. In addition, when a definitive agreement has
been executed to sell an investment, KKR generally considers a significant determinant of fair value to be the consideration to
be received by KKR pursuant to the executed definitive agreement.
Upon completion of the valuations conducted using these methodologies, a weighting is ascribed to each method. When
determining the weighting ascribed to each valuation methodology, KKR considers, among other factors, the availability of
direct market comparables, the applicability of a discounted cash flow analysis, the expected hold period and manner of
realization for the investment, and in the case of investments being sold pursuant to an executed definitive agreement, an
estimated probability of such sale being completed. These factors can result in different weightings among investments in the
portfolio and in certain instances may result in up to a 100% weighting to a single methodology.
KKR seeks to take a uniform approach across each asset class with respect to liquidity considerations for its investment
valuations, including considering if factors exist that could make it more challenging to monetize the investment, such as (i) the
nature of KKR's governance rights, (ii) whether the portfolio company is undergoing significant restructuring activity or similar
factors, and (iii) characteristics about the portfolio company regarding its size and/or whether the portfolio company is
experiencing, or expected to experience, a significant decline in earnings. These factors generally make it more likely that the
price a portfolio company is sold or publicly offered in the near term may need to reflect factors such as these, and others,
relating to the liquidity of an investment. These factors tend to reduce the number of opportunities to sell an investment and/or
increase the time horizon over which an investment may be monetized. Depending on the applicability of these factors, KKR’s
valuation methodologies take into account impacts to valuations relating to liquidity, and during the time KKR holds the
investment, the impact of liquidity considerations on an investment’s valuation may be increased or decreased, from time to
time, based on changes to these factors. The impact of liquidity considerations on an investment is based on the facts and
circumstances of each individual investment. Accordingly, liquidity considerations ultimately considered by a market participant
upon the realization of any investment may be higher or lower than that implied by KKR in its valuations.
Real Asset Investments: Real asset investments primarily consist of infrastructure and real estate investments and are
generally valued using one or a combination of the discounted cash flow analysis, market comparables analysis and direct
income capitalization methods, which in each case incorporates significant assumptions and judgments. Key Inputs used in
these methodologies can include inputs such as the weighted average cost of capital and assumed inputs used to calculate
terminal values, including capitalization rates, and exit EBITDA multiples. Certain real asset investments are valued by KKR based
on ranges of valuations determined by independent valuation firms.
Credit Investments: Credit investments, including certain fixed-income and structured securities, are valued using values
obtained from dealers or market makers, and where these values are not available, credit investments are generally valued by
KKR based on ranges of valuations determined by an independent valuation firm. Valuation models are based on discounted
cash flow analyses, for which the key inputs are determined based on market comparables, which incorporate similar
instruments from similar issuers.
Real Estate Mortgage Loans: Real estate mortgage loans are illiquid, structured investments that are specific to the
property and its operating performance. KKR engages an independent valuation firm to estimate the fair value of each loan. KKR
reviews the quarterly loan valuation estimates provided by the independent valuation firm. These loans are generally valued
using a discounted cash flow model using discount rates derived from observable market data applied to the capital structure of
the respective sponsor and estimated property value.
Other Investments: KKR generally employs the same valuation methodologies as described above for private equity, credit
investments and real assets investments when valuing these other investments.
Funds withheld at interest: The funds withheld receivables and payables at interest carried at fair value are primarily valued
based on the fair value of the underlying investments, which have quoted prices or other observable inputs to pricing. A portion
of the funds withheld receivable and payables at interest carried at fair value represent embedded derivatives and are generally
valued as the difference between the fair value of the underlying assets and the carrying value of the host contract at the
balance sheet date.
Reinsurance recoverables: Reinsurance recoverables carried at fair value are valued using present value techniques that
consider inputs including mortality and surrender rates for the associated policies, as well as estimates of policy expenses and
the cost of capital held in support of the related closed block policy liabilities.
Insurance policy liabilities, insurance embedded derivatives, and market risk benefits: Certain insurance policy liabilities that
are carried at fair value are valued using present value techniques that discount estimated liability cash flows at a rate that
reflects the variability of those cash flows and also consider policyholder behavior (including lapse rates, surrender rates and
mortality).
Closed block policy liabilities carried at fair value are valued using present value techniques that consider inputs including
mortality and surrender rates for the respective policies, as well as estimates of policy expenses and the cost of capital held in
support of the liabilities.
Insurance embedded derivative liabilities are related to our fixed-indexed annuity, variable annuity and indexed universal
life products, which contain equity-indexed features. These embedded derivative liabilities are calculated as the present value of
future projected benefits in excess of the projected guaranteed benefits, using an option budget as the indexed account value
growth rate and considering an adjustment to reflect the risk of nonperformance on our obligation and inputs such as projected
withdrawal and surrender activity, and mortality. KKR calculates nonperformance risk using a blend of observable peer company
credit spreads, adjusted to reflect the claims paying ability of our insurance entities, as well as an adjustment to reflect the
priority of policyholder claims.
Market risk benefits include certain contract features on fixed annuity and variable annuity products. These features include
minimum guarantees to policyholders, such as guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDBs), guaranteed minimum withdrawal
benefits (GMWBs), and long-term care benefits (which are capped at the return of account value plus one or two times the
account value). Market risk benefits are measured at fair value using a non-option and option valuation approach based on
current net amounts at risk, market data, experience, and other factors.
Key unobservable inputs that have a significant impact on KKR's Level III valuations as described above are included in
Note 9 "Fair Value Measurements." KKR utilizes several unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions in determining the fair
value of its Level III financial instruments. These unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions may differ by financial
instruments and in the application of KKR's valuation methodologies. KKR's reported fair value estimates could vary materially if
KKR had chosen to incorporate different unobservable pricing inputs and other assumptions or, for certain applicable
investments, if KKR only used either the discounted cash flow methodology or the market comparables methodology instead of
assigning a weighting to both methodologies.
There is inherent uncertainty involved in the valuation of Level III financial instruments and there is no assurance that, upon
liquidation or sale, KKR will realize the values reflected in our valuations. Our valuations may differ significantly from the values
that would have been used had an active market for the financial instruments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the
difference could be material.
Business Combinations
KKR accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, under which the purchase price of the
acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as of the
acquisition date.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in
connection with an acquisition. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually in the third quarter of each fiscal year or more
frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill and Intangible Assets are recorded in Other
Assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.
In accordance with GAAP, KKR has the option to either (i) perform a quantitative impairment test or (ii) first perform a
qualitative assessment (commonly known as "step zero") to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a
reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, in which case the quantitative test would then be performed. When performing a
quantitative impairment test, KKR compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the
fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the goodwill impairment loss is equal to the excess of the
carrying value over the fair value, limited to the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The estimated fair
values of the reporting units are derived based on valuation techniques KKR believes market participants would use for each
respective reporting unit. The estimated fair values are generally determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology
and methodologies that incorporate market multiples of certain comparable companies.
KKR tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is generally at the level of or one level below its
reportable segments, on an annual basis, or, when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not
reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
Goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisition of Global Atlantic has been allocated to the insurance segment, and
goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisitions of KJR Management ("KJRM") and Healthcare Royalty Management, LLC has
been allocated to the asset management segment.
During the third quarter of 2025, KKR performed its annual impairment analysis for the goodwill recorded at the asset
management, strategic holdings and insurance reporting units.
KKR elected to perform step zero for the purposes of its impairment analysis for the goodwill recorded at its reporting units.
Based upon these assessments, no goodwill impairment charges were recorded. Factors considered in the qualitative
assessment included macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, current and projected
financial performance, changes in management or strategy and market capitalization.
KKR tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at the aggregate level of management contracts. KKR has the
option to either (i) perform a quantitative impairment test or (ii) first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it
is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount, in which case, the quantitative test would be
performed.
Additionally, during the third quarter of 2025 KKR performed its annual impairment analysis on investment management
contracts recorded at KKR’s asset management business, which were determined to have indefinite useful lives and are not
subject to amortization. KKR elected to perform a qualitative assessment for the purposes of its impairment analysis. Based
upon this assessment, no impairment charges were recorded. Factors considered in the qualitative assessment included
macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and current and projected financial performance.
Fixed Assets, Depreciation and Amortization
Fixed assets consist primarily of corporate real estate, leasehold improvements, furniture and computer hardware. Such
amounts are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and are included in Other Assets within the
accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the
straight‑line method over the assets' estimated economic useful lives, which for leasehold improvements are the lesser of the
lease term or the life of the asset, for KKR's owner occupied corporate real estate is up to 40 years, and 3 to 7 years for other
fixed assets.
Foreign Currency
Consolidated entities that have a functional currency that differs from KKR's reporting currency are (i) KKR's investment
management and capital markets companies located outside the United States and (ii) certain CFEs. Foreign currency
denominated assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Results
of foreign operations are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for each reporting period. Translation adjustments
are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Foreign currency income or
expenses resulting from transactions outside of the functional currency of a consolidated entity are recorded as incurred in
general, administrative and other expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Leases
At contract inception, KKR determines if an arrangement contains a lease by evaluating whether (i) the identified asset has
been deployed in the contract explicitly or implicitly and (ii) KKR obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use
of that underlying asset and directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. Additionally, at
contract inception KKR will evaluate whether the lease is an operating or finance lease. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent
KKR’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent KKR’s obligation to make lease payments
arising from the lease.
ROU assets and the associated lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the
future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily
determinable. Consequently, KKR uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available including, but not
limited to, collateral assumptions, the term of the lease, and the economic environment in which the lease is denominated at
the commencement date in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The ROU assets are recognized as the
initial measurement of the lease liabilities plus any initial direct costs and any prepaid lease payments less lease incentives
received, if any. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are accounted for when it is
reasonably certain that KKR will exercise that option. Certain leases that include lease and non-lease components are accounted
for as one single lease component. In addition to contractual rent payments, occupancy lease agreements generally include
additional payments for certain costs incurred by the landlord, such as building expenses and utilities. To the extent these are
fixed or determinable, they are included as part of the lease payments used to measure the operating lease liability.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded within Occupancy and
Related Charges in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The ROU assets are included in Other Assets and
the lease liabilities are included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statements of
financial condition. See Note 14 "Other Assets and Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities."
Equity-based Compensation
In addition to the cash-based compensation and carry pool allocations, employees may receive equity awards. Most of
these awards are subject to service-based vesting typically over a three to five-year period from the date of grant, while in
certain cases vesting is subject to the achievement of market conditions or business performance conditions. Certain of these
awards are subject to transfer restrictions and minimum retained ownership requirements. KKR considers both historical
volatility and implied volatility in estimating expected volatility. All these awards are equity-classified and the related expense is
recognized in Compensation and Benefits.
The total tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for equity based compensation for the years
ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $124 million, $127 million and $51 million, respectively, and was recognized as
an income tax benefit in the consolidated statements of operations.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances, excluding those resulting from contributions from and distributions to owners. In the
accompanying consolidated financial statements, comprehensive income is recorded net of income taxes and is comprised of (i)
Net Income (Loss), as presented in the consolidated statements of operations, (ii) unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale
securities and other (iii) net effect of changes in discount rates and instrument-specific credit risk on policy liabilities and (iv)
foreign currency translation.
The tax benefit (expense) related to items of other comprehensive income was $(546) million, $(30) million, and $(339)
million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Income Taxes
KKR & Co. Inc. is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local
income taxes at the corporate level on its share of taxable income. In addition, KKR Group Partnership and certain of its
subsidiaries operate as partnerships for U.S. federal tax purposes but as taxable entities for certain state, local or non-U.S. tax
purposes. Moreover, certain corporate subsidiaries of KKR, including certain subsidiaries of Global Atlantic, are domestic
corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes.
Deferred Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under this method, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities and their respective tax basis, using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to
reverse. The effect on deferred assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of
operations in the period when the change is enacted.
Deferred tax assets, which are recorded in Other Assets within the consolidated statements of financial condition, are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of the deferred tax assets, all evidence,
both positive and negative, is considered. Items considered when evaluating the need for a valuation allowance include the
ability to carry back losses, future reversals of existing temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and expectations of future
earnings.
For a particular tax‑paying component of an entity and within a particular tax jurisdiction, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are offset and presented as a single amount within Other Assets or Accrued and Other Liabilities, as applicable, in the
accompanying statements of financial condition.
Uncertain Tax Positions
KKR analyzes its tax filing positions in all of the U.S. federal, state and local tax jurisdictions and foreign tax jurisdictions
where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open tax years in these jurisdictions. If, based on this analysis,
KKR determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a reserve is established. The reserve for uncertain tax positions is
recorded in Accrued and Other Liabilities in the accompanying statements of financial condition. KKR recognizes accrued
interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of
operations.
KKR records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two‑step process: (a) determination is made whether it is more likely
than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (b) those tax positions that
meet the more‑likely‑than‑not threshold are recognized as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent
likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Net Income (Loss) attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. per share of common stock
Net Income (Loss) attributable to KKR per share of common stock (Basic) is computed by dividing earnings (losses)
attributable to KKR common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Net
Income (Loss) attributable to KKR per share of common stock (Diluted) reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities.
For further information on net income (loss) per common share, see Note 13 "Net Income (Loss) Attributable to
KKR & Co. Inc. per Share of Common Stock."
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – ASSET MANAGEMENT AND STRATEGIC HOLDINGS
The significant accounting policies applicable to KKR’s asset management and strategic holdings businesses are described
below.
Investments
Investments consist primarily of private equity, credit, investments of consolidated CFEs, real assets, equity method and
other investments. Investments denominated in currencies other than the entity's functional currency are valued based on the
spot rate of the respective currency at the end of the reporting period with changes related to exchange rate movements
reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Security and loan transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.
Further disclosure on investments is presented in Note 7 "Investments."
The following describes the types of securities held within each investment class.
Private Equity - Consists primarily of equity investments in operating businesses, including growth equity investments.
Credit - Consists primarily of investments in below investment grade corporate debt securities (primarily high yield bonds
and syndicated bank loans), originated, distressed and opportunistic credit, real estate mortgage loans, and interests in
unconsolidated CLOs.
Investments of Consolidated CFEs - Consists primarily of investments in below investment grade corporate debt securities
(primarily high yield bonds and syndicated bank loans) held directly by the consolidated CLOs.
Real Assets - Consists primarily of investments in (i) infrastructure assets, (ii) real estate, principally residential and
commercial real estate assets and businesses, and (iii) energy related assets, principally oil and natural gas properties.
Equity Method - Capital Allocation-Based Income - Consists primarily of (i) the capital interest KKR holds as the general
partner in certain investment funds, which are not consolidated and (ii) the carried interest component of the general
partner interest, which are accounted for as a single unit of account.
Other - Consists primarily of investments in common stock, preferred stock, warrants and options of companies that are not
private equity, real assets, credit or investments of consolidated CFEs.
Investments held by Consolidated Investment Funds
The consolidated investment funds are, for GAAP purposes, investment companies and reflect their investments and other
financial instruments, including portfolio companies that are majority-owned and controlled by KKR's investment funds, at fair
value. KKR has retained this specialized accounting for the consolidated investment funds in consolidation. Accordingly, the
unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the investments and other financial instruments held by the
consolidated investment funds are reflected as a component of Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the
consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value Option
For certain investments and other financial instruments, KKR has elected the fair value option. Such election is irrevocable
until the occurrence of certain qualifying events as defined in ASC 825, when KKR has, in addition to the ability to elect or the
option to cease applying the fair value option to an eligible item to which it was previously applied and is applied on a financial
instrument by financial instrument basis at initial recognition. KKR has elected the fair value option for certain private equity,
real assets, credit, investments of consolidated CFEs, equity method - other and other financial instruments not held through a
consolidated investment fund. Accounting for these investments at fair value is consistent with how KKR accounts for its
investments held through consolidated investment funds. Changes in the fair value of such instruments are recognized in Net
Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest income on interest bearing
credit securities on which the fair value option has been elected is based on stated coupon rates adjusted for the accretion of
purchase discounts and the amortization of purchase premiums. This interest income is recorded within Interest Income in the
consolidated statements of operations.
Equity Method
For certain investments in entities over which KKR exercises significant influence but which do not meet the requirements
for consolidation and for which KKR has not elected the fair value option, KKR uses the equity method of accounting. The
carrying value of equity method investments, for which KKR has not elected the fair value option, is determined based on the
amounts invested by KKR, adjusted for the equity in earnings or losses of the investee allocated based on KKR's respective
ownership percentage, less distributions.
For equity method investments for which KKR has not elected the fair value option, KKR records its proportionate share of
the investee's earnings or losses based on the most recently available financial information of the investee, which in certain
cases may lag the date of KKR's financial statements by no more than three calendar months. As of December 31, 2025, equity
method investees for which KKR reports financial results on a lag include Marshall Wace LLP (“Marshall Wace”).
KKR evaluates its equity method investments for which KKR has not elected the fair value option for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.
The carrying value of investments classified as Equity Method - Capital Allocation-Based Income approximates fair value,
because the underlying investments of the unconsolidated investment funds are reported at fair value.
Financial Instruments held by Consolidated CFEs
KKR measures both the financial assets and financial liabilities of the consolidated CFEs in its financial statements using the
more observable of the fair value of the financial assets and the fair value of the financial liabilities which results in KKR's
consolidated net income (loss) reflecting KKR's own economic interests in the consolidated CFEs including (i) changes in the fair
value of the beneficial interests retained by KKR and (ii) beneficial interests that represent compensation for services rendered.
For the consolidated CLOs, KKR has determined that the fair value of the financial assets of the consolidated CLOs is more
observable than the fair value of the financial liabilities of the consolidated CLOs. As a result, the financial assets of the
consolidated CLOs are being measured at fair value and the financial liabilities are being measured in consolidation as: (1) the
sum of the fair value of the financial assets and the carrying value of any nonfinancial assets that are incidental to the
operations of the CLOs less (2) the sum of the fair value of any beneficial interests retained by KKR (other than those that
represent compensation for services) and KKR's carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent compensation for
services. The resulting amount is allocated to the individual financial liabilities (other than the beneficial interests retained by
KKR).
Due from and Due to Affiliates
KKR considers its principals and their related entities, unconsolidated investment funds and the portfolio companies of its
funds to be affiliates for accounting purposes. Receivables from and payables to affiliates are recorded at their current
settlement amount.
Derivative instruments
Freestanding derivatives are instruments that KKR's asset management business and certain of its consolidated funds have
entered into as part of their overall risk management and investment strategies. These derivative contracts are not designated
as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Such contracts may include forward, swap and option contracts related to
foreign currencies and interest rates to manage foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk arising from certain assets and
liabilities. All derivatives are recognized in Other Assets or Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities and are presented on a gross
basis in the consolidated statements of financial condition and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in Net
Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. KKR's derivative financial
instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. KKR
attempts to reduce this risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions with strong credit ratings.
Securities Sold Short
Whether part of a hedging transaction or a transaction in its own right, securities sold short represent obligations of KKR to
deliver the specified security at the contracted price at a future point in time, and thereby create a liability to repurchase the
security in the market at the prevailing prices. The liability for such securities sold short, which is recorded in Accrued Expenses
and Other Liabilities in the statement of financial condition, is marked to market based on the current fair value of the
underlying security at the reporting date with changes in fair value recorded as unrealized gains or losses in Net Gains (Losses)
from Investment Activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. These transactions may involve market
risk in excess of the amount currently reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.
Fees and Other
Fees and Other, as detailed above, are accounted for as contracts with customers. Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers ("ASC 606"), KKR is required to (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance
obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance
obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) KKR satisfies its performance obligation. In determining the
transaction price, KKR has included variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the
amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is
resolved.
The following table summarizes KKR's revenues from contracts with customers:
| Revenue Type | Customer | Performance Obligation | Performance Obligation Satisfied Over Time or Point In Time (1) | Variable or Fixed Consideration | Payment Terms | Subject to Return Once Recognized | Classification of Uncollected Amounts (2) |
| Management Fees | Investment funds, CLOs and other vehicles | Investment management services | Over time as services are rendered | Variable consideration since varies based on fluctuations in the basis of the management fee over time | Typically quarterly or annually in arrears | No | Due from Affiliates |
| Transaction Fees | Portfolio companies and third party companies | Advisory services and debt and equity arranging and underwriting | Point in time when the transaction (e.g. underwriting) is completed | Fixed consideration | Typically paid on or shortly after transaction closes | No | Due from Affiliates (portfolio companies) Other Assets (third parties) |
| Monitoring Fees | |||||||
| Recurring Fees | Portfolio companies | Monitoring services | Over time as services are rendered | Variable consideration since varies based on fluctuations in the basis of the recurring fee | Typically quarterly in arrears | No | Due from Affiliates |
| Termination Fees | Portfolio companies | Monitoring services | Point in time when the termination is completed | Fixed consideration | Typically paid on or shortly after termination occurs | No | Due from Affiliates |
| Incentive Fees | Investment funds and other vehicles | Investment management services that result in achievement of minimum investment return levels | Over time as services are rendered | Variable consideration since contingent upon the investment fund and other vehicles achieving more than stipulated investment return hurdles | Typically paid shortly after the end of the performance measuremen t period | No | Due from Affiliates |
| Expense Reimbursements | Investment funds and portfolio companies | Investment management and monitoring services | Point in time when the related expense is incurred | Fixed consideration | Typically shortly after expense is incurred | No | Due from Affiliates |
| Consulting Fees | Portfolio companies and other companies | Consulting and other services | Over time as services are rendered | Fixed consideration | Typically quarterly in arrears | No | Due from Affiliates |
(1)For performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, there were no significant judgments made in evaluating when a customer obtains control of the
promised service.
(2)For amounts classified in Other Assets, see Note 14 "Other Assets and Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities." For amounts classified in Due from Affiliates,
see Note 20 "Related Party Transactions."
Management Fees
KKR provides investment management services to investment funds, CLOs, and other vehicles and entities in exchange for a
management fee. Management fees are generally determined quarterly based on an annual rate and are generally based upon
a percentage of the capital committed, capital invested or net asset value during the investment period, if applicable.
Thereafter, management fees are generally based on a percentage of remaining invested capital, net asset value, gross assets or
as otherwise defined in the respective contractual agreements. Since some of the factors that cause the fees to fluctuate are
outside of KKR's control, management fees are considered to be constrained and are therefore not included in the transaction
price. Revenue recognized for the investment management services provided is generally determined at the end of the period
because these management fees are payable on a regular basis (typically quarterly) and the uncertainty for that period is
resolved.
Management fees earned from KKR's consolidated investment funds and other vehicles and entities are eliminated in
consolidation. However, because these amounts are funded by, and earned from, noncontrolling interests, KKR's allocated share
of the net income from the consolidated investment funds and other vehicles is increased by the amount of fees that are
eliminated. Accordingly, net income (loss) attributable to KKR and KKR’s stockholder’s equity would be unchanged, if such
investment funds and other vehicles were not consolidated.
Management fee calculations based on committed capital or invested capital are mechanical in nature and therefore do not
require the use of significant estimates or judgments. Management fee calculations based on net asset value, total assets, or
investment fair value depend on the fair value of the underlying investments within the investment vehicle.
Fee Credits
Under the terms of the management agreements with certain of its investment funds, KKR is required to share with such
funds an agreed upon percentage of certain fees, including monitoring and transaction fees earned from portfolio companies
("Fee Credits"). Investment funds earn Fee Credits only with respect to monitoring and transaction fees that are allocable to the
fund's investment in the portfolio company and not, for example, any fees allocable to capital invested through co-investment
vehicles. Fee Credits are calculated after deducting certain costs incurred in connection with pursuing potential investments that
do not result in completed transactions ("broken-deal expenses") and generally amount to 80% for older funds formed on or
prior to January 1, 2015, or 100% for newer funds, of allocable monitoring and transaction fees after broken-deal expenses are
recovered, although the actual percentage may vary from fund to fund. Fee Credits are recognized and owed to investment
funds concurrently with the recognition of monitoring fees, transaction fees and broken-deal expenses. Since Fee Credits are
payable to investment funds, amounts owed are generally applied as a reduction of the management fee that is otherwise billed
to the investment fund. Fee credits are recorded as a reduction of revenues in the consolidated statement of operations. Fee
Credits owed to investment funds are recorded in Due to Affiliates on the consolidated statements of financial condition. See
Note 20 "Related Party Transactions."
Transaction Fees
KKR (i) arranges debt and equity financing, places and underwrites securities offerings, and provides other types of capital
markets services for companies seeking financing in its Capital Markets business line and (ii) provides advisory services in
connection with successful Private Equity, Real Assets, and Credit and Liquid Strategies business line portfolio company
investment transactions, in each case, in exchange for a transaction fee. Transaction fees are separately negotiated for each
transaction and are generally based on (i) for Capital Markets business line transactions, a percentage of the overall transaction
size and (ii) for Private Equity, Real Assets, and Credit and Liquid Strategies business line transactions, a percentage of either
total enterprise value of an investment or a percentage of the aggregate price paid for an investment. After the contract is
established, there are no significant judgments made when determining the transaction price.
Monitoring Fees
KKR provides services in connection with monitoring portfolio companies in exchange for a fee. Recurring monitoring fees
are separately negotiated for each portfolio company. In addition, certain monitoring fee arrangements may provide for a
termination payment following an initial public offering or change of control as defined in the contractual terms of the related
agreement. These termination payments are recognized in the period when the related transaction closes. After the contract is
established, there are no significant judgments made when determining the transaction price.
Incentive Fees
KKR provides investment management services to certain investment funds, CLOs and other vehicles in exchange for a
management fee as discussed above and, in some cases an incentive fee when KKR is not entitled to a carried interest. Incentive
fee rates generally range from 5% to 20% of investment gains. Incentive fees are considered a form of variable consideration as
these fees are subject to reversal, and therefore the recognition of such fees is deferred until the end of each fund's
measurement period when the performance-based incentive fees become fixed and determinable. Incentive fees are generally
paid within 90 days of the end of the investment vehicles' measurement period. After the contract is established, there are no
significant judgments made when determining the transaction price.
Incentive fees earned from KKR's consolidated investment funds, CLOs, and other vehicles are eliminated in consolidation.
However, because these amounts are funded by, and earned from, noncontrolling interests, KKR's allocated share of the net
income from the consolidated investment funds, CLOs, and other vehicles is increased by the amount of fees that are
eliminated. Accordingly, net income (loss) attributable to KKR would be unchanged if such investment funds and other vehicles
were not consolidated.
Expense Reimbursements
Providing investment management services to investment funds and monitoring KKR’s portfolio companies require KKR to
arrange for services on behalf of them. In those situations where KKR is acting as an agent on behalf of its investment funds or
portfolio companies, it presents the cost of services on a net basis as a reduction of Revenues. In all other situations, KKR is
primarily responsible for fulfilling the services and is therefore acting as a principal for those arrangements for accounting
purposes. As a result, the expense and related reimbursement associated with those services is presented on a gross basis.
Costs incurred are classified within Expenses and reimbursements of such costs are classified as Expense Reimbursements
within Revenues on the consolidated statements of operations. After the contract is established, there are no significant
judgments made when determining the transaction price.
Consulting Fees
KKR provides consulting and other services to portfolio companies and other companies in exchange for a consulting fee.
Consulting fees are separately negotiated with each company for which services are provided. After the contract is established,
there are no significant judgments made when determining the transaction price.
Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss)
Capital allocation-based income (loss) is earned from those arrangements where KKR has a general partner capital interest
and is entitled to a disproportionate allocation of investment income (referred to hereafter as "carried interest"). KKR accounts
for its general partner interests in capital allocation-based arrangements as financial instruments under ASC 323, Investments -
Equity Method and Joint Ventures ("ASC 323") since the general partner has significant governance rights in the investment
funds in which it invests, which demonstrates significant influence. In accordance with ASC 323, KKR records equity method
income based on the proportionate share of the income of the investment fund, including carried interest, assuming the
investment fund was liquidated as of each reporting date pursuant to each investment fund's governing agreements.
Accordingly, these general partner interests are accounted for outside of the scope of ASC 606. Other arrangements
surrounding contractual incentive fees through an advisory contract are separate and distinct and accounted for in accordance
with ASC 606. In these incentive fee arrangements, accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, KKR’s economics in the entity do
not involve an allocation of capital. See "Incentive Fees" above.
Carried interest is allocated to the general partner based on cumulative fund performance to date, and where applicable,
subject to a preferred return to the funds' limited partners. At the end of each reporting period, KKR calculates the carried
interest that would be due to KKR for each investment fund, pursuant to the fund agreements, as if the fair value of the
underlying investments were realized as of such date, irrespective of whether such amounts have been realized. As the fair
value of underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to make adjustments to amounts recorded as
carried interest to reflect either (a) positive performance resulting in an increase in the carried interest allocated to the general
partner or (b) negative performance that would cause the amount due to KKR to be less than the amount previously recognized,
resulting in a negative adjustment to carried interest allocated to the general partner. In each case, it is necessary to calculate
the carried interest on cumulative results compared to the carried interest recorded to date and to make the required positive
or negative adjustments. KKR ceases to record negative carried interest allocations once previously recognized carried interest
allocations for an investment fund have been fully reversed. KKR is not obligated to make payments for guaranteed returns or
hurdles and, therefore, cannot have negative carried interest over the life of an investment fund. Accrued but unpaid carried
interest as of the reporting date is reflected in Investments in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and Benefits expense includes (i) base cash compensation consisting of salaries and wages, (ii) benefits, (iii)
carry pool allocations, (iv) equity-based compensation, and (v) discretionary cash bonuses.
To supplement base cash compensation, benefits, carry pool allocations, and equity-based compensation, KKR typically
pays discretionary cash bonuses, which are included in Compensation and Benefits expense in the consolidated statements of
operations, based principally on the level of segment (i) management fees and other fee revenues (including incentive fees), (ii)
realized performance income and (iii) realized investment income earned during the year. The amounts paid as discretionary
cash bonuses, if any, are at KKR’s sole discretion and vary by individual to individual and from period to period, including having
no cash bonus. KKR accrues discretionary cash bonuses when payment becomes probable and reasonably estimable which is
generally in the period when KKR makes the decision to pay discretionary cash bonuses and is based upon a number of factors
including the recognition of segment fee revenues, realized performance income, realized investment income and other factors
determined during the year.
KKR decides whether to pay a discretionary cash bonus and determines the percentage of applicable revenue components
to pay compensation only upon the occurrence of the realization event. There is no contractual or other binding obligation that
requires KKR to pay a discretionary cash bonus to its employees, except in limited circumstances.
Carry Pool Allocation
With respect to our funds that provide for carried interest, KKR allocates a portion of the realized and unrealized carried
interest that KKR earns to Associates Holdings, which is referred to as the carry pool, from which KKR's asset management
employees and certain other carry pool participants are eligible to receive a carried interest allocation. The allocation is
determined based upon a fixed arrangement between Associates Holdings and KKR, and KKR does not exercise discretion on
whether to make an allocation to the carry pool upon a realization event. KKR refers to the portion of carried interest that KKR
allocates to the carry pool as the carry pool percentage.
As of December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage was fixed at 40%, 43% or 65% by investment fund, depending on the
fund’s vintage. For funds that closed after December 31, 2020 but before December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage was
fixed at 65%. For funds that closed after June 30, 2017 but before December 31, 2020, the carry pool percentage was fixed at
43%, and the carry pool percentage was fixed at 40% for older funds that contributed to KKR's carry pool. Effective January 2,
2024, KKR applies a carry pool percentage of up to 80% for all funds.
This increase to the carry pool percentage was approved by a majority of KKR's independent directors, and the carry pool
percentage may not be increased above 80% without the further approval of a majority of KKR's independent directors. For
funds that closed after December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage is fixed at 80%. For funds that closed prior to December
31, 2023, the carry pool percentage is calculated at a fixed percentage of 40%, 43% or 65% (depending on the fund’s vintage) for
carried interest realized up to a high water mark, which was established based on the unrealized carried interest balance that
existed on January 2, 2024, plus an additional percentage amount up to 80% based on a formulaic allocation, only if the
unrealized carried interest balance at any period end exceeds the high water mark. This imposes a limitation of the carry pool
allocation for such funds based on the amount of cumulative unrealized carried interest income earned subsequent to
December 31, 2023.
For funds that closed before December 31, 2023, if the cumulative carried interest subsequent to December 31, 2023 is not
sufficient to fund this formulaic allocation, the allocation of carried interest reverts to the carry pool percentage in effect before
this modification. As such, upon modification of the carry pool percentage effective on January 2, 2024, the cumulative
unrealized carried interest was not sufficient to fund the additional formulaic allocation percentage in excess of the pre-existing
40%, 43% and 65% carry pool percentages, and therefore no incremental expense was recognized as of such date. The carry
pool percentage applicable for all funds that closed prior to December 31, 2023 will not be less than their applicable carry pool
percentages of 40%, 43% or 65% prior to December 31, 2023, and will not be more than 80%. The intent of this modification is
that for all funds that closed prior to January 2, 2024, upon the final liquidation of each fund, realized carried interest distributed
will equal the historical fund carry pool allocations up to the high water mark and only distributions of realized carried interest
in excess of the high water mark will be distributed at 80 percent if and only if the unrealized carried interest balance at any
period end exceeds the high water mark. Under no circumstance would a distribution of carried interest exceed 80% of the total
allocable carried interest at any time.
KKR accounts for the carry pool as a compensatory profit-sharing arrangement in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
within the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition in conjunction with the related carried interest income
and it is recorded as compensation expense. The liability that is recorded in each period reflects the legal entitlement of
Associates Holdings at each point in time should the total unrealized carried interest be realized at the value recorded at each
reporting date. Upon a reversal of carried interest income, the related carry pool allocation, if any, is also reversed. Accordingly,
such compensation expense is subject to both positive and negative adjustments.
Profit Sharing Plan
KKR provides certain profit sharing programs for KKR employees. In particular, KKR provides a 401(k) plan for eligible
employees in the United States. For certain employees who are participants in the 401(k) plan, KKR may, in its discretion,
contribute an amount after the end of the plan year through its profit sharing program.
General, Administrative and Other
General, administrative and other expense consists primarily of professional fees paid to legal advisors, accountants,
advisors and consultants, insurance costs, travel and related expenses, communications and information services, depreciation
and amortization charges, broken-deal expenses, placement fees and other general operating expenses. A portion of these
general administrative and other expenses, in particular broken-deal expenses, are borne by fund investors.
Investment Income
Investment income consists primarily of the net impact of:
i.Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, securities sold short, derivatives and debt obligations of
consolidated CFEs which are recorded in Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities. Upon disposition of an
investment, previously recognized unrealized gains or losses are reversed and a realized gain or loss is recognized.
ii.Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to mark‑to‑market activity on foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign
currency options and foreign denominated debt which are recorded in Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities.
iii.Dividends, which are recognized on the ex‑dividend date, or, in the absence of a formal declaration of a record date, on
the date it is received.
iv.Interest income, which is recognized as earned.
v.Interest expense, which is recognized as incurred.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – INSURANCE
The significant accounting policies applicable to KKR’s insurance business, which is conducted by Global Atlantic, are
described below.
Investments
In the normal course of business, Global Atlantic enters into transactions involving various types of investments.
Investments include the following: U.S. government and agency obligations; commercial mortgage-backed securities
("CMBS"); residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"); CLOs; asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and other structured
securities, (collectively, “structured securities”); corporate bonds; state and political subdivision obligations; foreign government
obligations; equity securities; mortgage and other loan receivables; policy loans; and other non-derivative investments.
Available-For-Sale Fixed Maturity Securities
Global Atlantic primarily accounts for its fixed maturity securities (including bonds, structured securities and redeemable
preferred stock) as available-for-sale ("AFS"). AFS fixed maturity securities are generally recorded on a trade-date basis and are
carried at fair value. Impairment associated with AFS fixed maturity securities is recognized as an allowance for credit losses.
The allowance for credit losses is established either by a charge to net investment-related losses in the consolidated statements
of operations, for securities identified as credit impaired after purchase, or by a gross-up recognition of an initial allowance for
purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") securities.
PCD securities are those purchased by Global Atlantic that were assessed at acquisition as having experienced a more-than-
insignificant deterioration in credit quality since their origination. Global Atlantic considers an AFS fixed maturity security to be
PCD if there are indicators of a credit loss at the acquisition date or, in the case of structured securities, if there is a significant
difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows at acquisition. PCD securities also include those AFS fixed
maturity securities previously held by Global Atlantic that were similarly assessed at the time when KKR acquired a majority
controlling interest in Global Atlantic on February 1, 2021 (the "2021 GA Acquisition"). The initial amortized cost for a PCD
security equals the purchase price plus the initial allowance for credit losses. The initial allowance for credit losses is determined
using a discounted cash flow method based on the best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected.
After purchase, the accounting for a PCD security is generally consistent with that applied to all other securities.
Unrealized gains and losses on AFS fixed maturity securities, net of tax and insurance intangible amortization, are reported
in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Realized
investment gains and losses are recognized on a first-in first-out ("FIFO") basis and are reported in net investment-related gains
(losses) in the consolidated statements of operations. The amortized cost of fixed maturity securities is adjusted for impairment
charge-offs, amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Such amortization and accretion is calculated using the
effective yield method and included in net investment income in the consolidated statements of operations.
For structured securities, Global Atlantic recognizes interest income using a constant effective yield based on estimated
cash flows generated from internal models utilizing interest rate, default and prepayment assumptions. Effective yields for
structured securities that are not of high credit quality are recalculated and adjusted prospectively based on changes in
expected undiscounted future cash flows, after consideration of any appropriate recognition or release of an allowance for
credit losses. For structured securities that are of high credit quality, effective yields are recalculated based on payments
received and updated prepayment expectations, and amortized cost is adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the
new effective yield been applied since acquisition with a corresponding charge or credit to net investment income. Prepayment
fees are recorded when earned in net investment income in the consolidated statements of operations.
Global Atlantic generally suspends accrual of interest for securities that are more than 90 days past due and reverses any
related accrued interest to net investment income in the consolidated statements of operations. When a security is in non-
accrual status, coupon payments are recognized as interest income as cash is received, subject to consideration as to the overall
collectibility of the security. A security is returned to accrual status when Global Atlantic determines that the collection of
amounts due is probable. The allowance for credit losses excludes accrued interest from the amortized cost basis for which
losses are estimated.
Trading Fixed Maturity Securities
Global Atlantic accounts for certain fixed maturity securities as trading at acquisition, based on intent or via the election of
the fair value option. Trading securities are generally recorded on a trade-date basis and are carried at fair value, with realized
and unrealized gains and losses reported in net investment-related gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Interest income from these securities is reported in net investment income. Trading securities, which are primarily used to
match asset and liability accounting, back funds withheld payable at interest where the investment performance is ceded to
reinsurers under the terms of the respective reinsurance agreements.
Equity Securities
Global Atlantic accounts for its investments in equity securities (including common stock and non-redeemable preferred
stock) that do not require equity method accounting or result in consolidation, at fair value. Realized and unrealized investment
gains and losses are reported in net investment-related gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Mortgage and Other Loan Receivables
Global Atlantic purchases and originates mortgage and other loan receivables, and the majority of these loans are carried at
cost, less the allowance for credit losses and as adjusted for amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts. Loan premiums or
discounts are amortized or accreted using the effective yield method. The allowance for credit losses is established either by a
charge to net investment-related losses in the consolidated statements of operations or, for PCD mortgage and other loan
receivables, by a gross-up recognition of the initial allowance in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
PCD mortgage and other loan receivables are those purchased by Global Atlantic that were assessed at acquisition as having
experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since their origination. PCD mortgage and other loan
receivables also include those mortgage and other loan receivables previously held by Global Atlantic that were similarly
assessed at the time of the 2021 GA Acquisition. The initial amortized cost for a PCD mortgage or other loan receivable equals
the purchase price plus the initial allowance for credit losses. The initial allowance for credit losses is determined using a
method consistent with that used for other similar loans. See further discussion of allowance methods below. After purchase,
the accounting for a PCD mortgage or other loan receivable is consistent with that applied to all other mortgage and other loan
receivables.
Global Atlantic has elected the fair value option for certain mortgage and other loan receivables, when purchased or
originated. Changes in the fair value of these mortgage and other loan receivables are reported in net investment related gains
(losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Interest income is accrued on the principal balance of each loan based on its contractual interest rate. The accrual of
interest is generally suspended when the collection of interest is no longer probable or the collection of any portion of principal
is doubtful. Global Atlantic generally suspends accrual of interest for loans that are more than 90 days past due and reverses any
related accrued interest to net investment income in the consolidated statements of operations. When a loan is in non-accrual
status, coupon payments are generally recognized as interest income as cash is received, subject to consideration as to the
overall collectibility of the loan. A loan is returned to accrual status when Global Atlantic determines that the collection of
amounts due is probable. The allowance for credit losses for loans carried at amortized cost excludes accrued interest from the
amortized cost basis for which losses are estimated.
Policy Loans
Policy loans are loans policyholders take out against their life insurance policies. Each policy loan is fully collateralized by the
cash surrender value of the policyholder’s life insurance policy. Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances. Interest
income on such loans is recognized as earned using the contractually agreed upon interest rate and reflected in net investment
income in the consolidated statements of operations. Generally, interest is capitalized on the associated policy’s anniversary
date.
Real Assets and Other Investments
Real assets consist primarily of investments in real estate assets, transportation assets, energy-related assets (principally
renewable energy properties), and infrastructure assets. Other investments include equity securities, limited partnership
interests, investments in Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") common stock, and other interests.
Real assets and other investments in the consolidated statements of financial condition include investments in investment
partnerships, for which Global Atlantic does not have voting control or power to direct activities. These investments are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting unless Global Atlantic’s interest is so minor that it has virtually no
influence over partnership operating or financial policies. The equity method of accounting requires that the investments be
initially recorded at cost and the carrying amount of the investment subsequently be adjusted to recognize Global Atlantic’s
share of the earnings and losses of the investee. In applying the equity method, Global Atlantic uses financial information
provided by the investee, generally on a one to three month lag due to the timing of the receipt of related financial statements.
The income from Global Atlantic’s equity method investments is included in net investment income in the consolidated
statements of operations. In limited circumstances, Global Atlantic elects to apply the fair value option to investment
partnerships, which are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in net investment-related gains (losses) in
the consolidated statements of operations. Distributions from investment partnerships that apply equity method accounting are
classified as either investing or operating activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows based on the nature of the
distributions.
Global Atlantic consolidates investment partnerships and other entities when it has a controlling financial interest. The
results of certain consolidated investment entities are reported on a one to three month lag and intervening events are
evaluated for materiality and recognition by disclosure or otherwise, as appropriate.
Included in real assets are Global Atlantic’s investments in renewable energy entities, including partnerships and limited
liability companies. Respective investments are consolidated when Global Atlantic has a controlling financial interest, or are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting when Global Atlantic has the ability to exercise significant influence but
not control. These investments involve tiered capital structures that facilitate a waterfall of returns and allocations to ensure the
efficient use of tax credits. A conventional income statement oriented approach to the equity method of accounting, or to the
recognition of noncontrolling interests (when Global Atlantic is consolidating the investment), based on ownership percentages
does not accurately reflect the proper allocation of income and cash flows for these investments. Instead, Global Atlantic uses
the HLBV which is a balance sheet oriented approach to the equity method of accounting and to the recognition of
noncontrolling interests that allocates income and cash flows based on changes to each investor’s claim to net assets assuming a
liquidation of the investee as of each reporting date, including an assessment of the likelihood of liquidation in determining the
contractual provisions to utilize when applying the HLBV method.
The income, net of the depreciation and other expenses associated with consolidated real assets is reported in net
investment income in the consolidated statements of operations. Income on real assets is generally earned from the lease of the
assets or, in the case of energy-related assets, from the contracted sale of the energy generated. Real assets carried at
depreciated cost, excluding land, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. As appropriate,
depreciation is recognized to the estimated salvage value of the respective asset.
Global Atlantic has certain investments in real estate held in consolidated investment companies that account for such real
estate at fair value under investment company accounting, and this specialized accounting is retained in consolidation. Changes
in the fair value of real estate in consolidated investment companies are recognized in net investment-related gains (losses) in
the consolidated statements of operations.
Investments in equity securities are carried at fair value, with changes recognized in net investment related gains (losses) in
the consolidated statements of operations. Investments in FHLB common stock are accounted at cost.
Derivative Instruments
Derivatives are instruments that derive their values from underlying asset prices, indices, foreign exchange rates, reference
rates and other inputs or a combination of these factors. Derivatives may be privately negotiated contracts, which are usually
referred to as over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives, or they may be listed and traded on an exchange ("exchange-traded").
Global Atlantic’s derivative instruments are primarily used to hedge certain risks, including interest rate risk, equity market risk
and foreign exchange risk. Where certain criteria are met, some of these hedging arrangements may achieve hedge accounting.
Derivative instruments are recognized at estimated fair value in either funds withheld receivable at interest, other assets,
funds withheld payable at interest or accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial
condition, with changes in fair value recorded in net investment-related gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of
operations. Where certain qualifying criteria are met, some derivative instruments are designated as accounting hedges and are
recognized at estimated fair value in derivative assets or accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of
financial condition. For derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in the
consolidated statements of operations, in the same line where the hedged item is reported. For derivative instruments
designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are initially recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
in the consolidated statements of financial condition and subsequently reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations
when the hedged item affects earnings, in the same line item where the hedged item is reported. For derivative instruments
designated as net investment hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in
the consolidated statements of financial condition, consistent with the translation adjustment for the hedged investment.
Derivative receivables and payables with a counterparty that are subject to an International Swaps and Derivatives
Association Master Agreement ("ISDA") or other similar agreement that provides a legal right of setoff, are presented at their
net amounts. Where the legal right of setoff exists, Global Atlantic also offsets the fair value of cash collateral received or posted
under an ISDA, or other similar agreement with a counterparty, against the related derivative balances as appropriate.
Investment Credit Losses and Impairment
Available-For-Sale Fixed Maturity Securities
One of the significant estimates related to AFS securities is the evaluation of those investments for credit losses. The
evaluation of investments for credit losses is a quantitative and qualitative quarterly process that is subject to risks and
uncertainties and involves significant estimates and judgments by management. Changes in the estimates and judgments used
in such analysis can have a significant impact on the consolidated statements of operations. Considerations relevant to the
evaluation of credit losses may include the severity of any loss position, as well as changes in market interest rates, changes in
business climate, management changes, litigation, government actions, and other similar factors that may impact an issuer’s
ability to meet current and future principal and interest obligations. Indicators of credit impairment may also include changes in
credit ratings, the frequency of late payments, pricing levels and deterioration in any, or a combination of, key financial ratios,
financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections.
For AFS fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position, Global Atlantic first considers the intent to sell a security, or
whether it is more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the security, before the recovery of its amortized cost. If Global
Atlantic intends to sell an AFS fixed maturity security with an unrealized loss or it is more-likely-than-not that it will be required
to sell an AFS fixed maturity security with an unrealized loss before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the amortized cost is
written down to fair value and a corresponding charge is recognized to net investment-related losses.
For AFS fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position that Global Atlantic does not intend to sell, and will not be
required to sell, Global Atlantic bifurcates the impairment into two components: credit impairment and non-credit impairment.
Credit impairments are measured as the difference between the security’s cost or amortized cost and its estimated recoverable
value, which is the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the current effective interest rate. The
estimated recoverable value is subject to a floor equal to the fair value of the security. The remaining difference between the
security’s fair value and the recoverable value, if any, is the non-credit impairment. Credit impairments are recognized in the
allowance for credit losses on AFS fixed maturity securities, which is established via a charge to net investment-related losses in
the consolidated statements of operations, and non-credit impairments are charged to accumulated other comprehensive
income in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
In determining the estimated recoverable value, the review of expected future cash flows for structured securities includes
assumptions about key systemic risks (e.g., unemployment rates, housing prices) and loan-specific information (e.g.,
delinquency rates, loan-to-value ratios). Estimating future cash flows is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates
information received from third parties, along with assumptions and judgments about the future performance of the underlying
collateral. For corporate and government bonds the recoverable value is determined using cash flow estimates that consider
facts and circumstances relevant to the security and the issuer, including overall financial strength and secondary sources of
repayment as well as pending restructuring or disposition of assets.
In periods subsequent to the initial recognition of an allowance for credit losses on a fixed maturity security, whether for a
PCD security or a security impaired since purchase, Global Atlantic continues to monitor credit loss expectations. Deterioration
in the estimated recoverable value of a credit impaired security is recognized as an addition to the allowance for credit losses, as
limited by the amount by which the security’s fair value is less than amortized cost. Improvements in the estimated recoverable
value of a credit impaired security or improvements in the fair value of a credit impaired security that limit the amount of the
allowance result in reductions in the allowance for credit losses, which are recognized as a credit to net investment-related
gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of income.
Amounts are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when deemed uncollectible or when Global Atlantic
determines that it intends to sell, or more likely than not will be required to sell, the security. Charge-offs are reflected as a
decrease in the allowance and a direct write down in the amortized cost of the security. If Global Atlantic recovers all or a
portion of an amount previously written off on a credit impaired security, the recovery is recognized as a realized investment
gain.
Mortgage and Other Loan Receivables
Global Atlantic updates its estimate of the expected credit losses on its investments in mortgage and other loan receivables
carried at amortized cost each quarter. For loans that share similar risk characteristics, expected credit losses are measured on a
pool basis. For loans that do not share similar risk characteristics, expected credit losses are measured individually. Loans
subject to individual evaluation include those loans that are collateral dependent, where the borrower is experiencing financial
difficulty. For these collateral dependent loans, expected credit losses are measured as the difference between the fair value of
the collateral (less costs to sell, where the collateral is to be sold) and the amortized cost basis of the loan.
For commercial mortgage loans, the current expected credit losses are estimated using a model that evaluates the
probability that each loan will default and estimates the amount of loss given the occurrence of such a default over the life of
each loan in the portfolio. The model incorporates historical and current data on the relevant property market and projects
potential future paths for each loan’s collateral, considering both the net income to be generated by the collateral real estate
and its market value. The model considers how macroeconomic forecasts (such as gross domestic product, unemployment, and
interest rates) influence commercial real estate market factors (including vacancy rates, rental and income growth rates,
property value changes), and in turn how commercial real estate market conditions, in combination with loan specific
information (including debt service coverage and loan to value), drive commercial mortgage loan credit risk.
For residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, the current expected credit losses are primarily estimated using a
discounted cash flow model. The model considers loan-specific information as well as current, historical and forecasted data
relevant to the respective loans, including home prices, interest rates and unemployment. Expected cash flows are projected for
each loan and are discounted using the effective interest rate of the respective loan. Any shortfalls between the discounted cash
flows and the amortized cost of each individual loan are aggregated to determine the total allowances on the residential
mortgage loan and consumer loan portfolios. For certain residential mortgage loans secured by single-family rental properties,
current expected credit losses are determined using a model consistent with that described above for commercial mortgage
loans.
With regard to the use of forecasts in the determination of Global Atlantic’s current expected credit losses, the reversion of
forecasts to historical data is based on reversion dynamics that depend on the specific variable and its interaction with the other
parameters of the respective model; however, the forecasts generally tend to revert to a long-term equilibrium trend within two
to three years from the forecast start date.
For the investment in other loan receivables, a variety of methodologies are used to estimate the respective current
expected credit losses. These methodologies consider the terms specific to each loan, including the value of any collateral, and
evaluate the risk of loss over the life of these loans.
Global Atlantic also assesses and measures an allowance for credit losses arising from off-balance sheet commitments,
including loan commitments, that are not unconditionally cancellable by Global Atlantic. This allowance for credit losses for off-
balance sheet commitments is determined using methods consistent with those used for the associated mortgage and other
loan receivable class, as described above, and is recognized in other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial
condition, since there is no funded asset for the committed amount.
When all or a portion of a loan is deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion of the carrying amount of the loan is
charged off against the allowance. If Global Atlantic recovers all or a portion of an amount previously written off on a credit
impaired loan, the recovery is recognized as a realized investment gain.
Real Assets and Other Investments
The determination of the amount of impairment on other classes of investments also requires significant judgment and is
based upon a periodic evaluation and assessment of known and inherent risks associated with the respective asset class. Such
assessments are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available.
Impairment of consolidated real assets carried at depreciated cost is assessed whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment are present, a recoverability test is
performed to determine if the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets is greater than
the carrying amount. If the undiscounted estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is
recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value.
Impairment of investments subject to the equity method of accounting is assessed whenever events or circumstances
suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized in earnings for a decline in value
that is determined to be other than temporary and is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair
value of the equity method investment as of the balance sheet date.
Deferral and Amortization of Certain Revenues and Expenses
Deferrals
Deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") consist of commissions and other costs that are directly related to the successful
acquisition of new or renewal life insurance or annuity contracts. DAC is estimated using a group approach, instead of on an
individual contract level. DAC groups, or cohorts, are by product type and issue year and consistent with the groups used in
estimating the associated insurance liability. DAC is recorded in insurance intangibles in the consolidated statements of financial
condition.
Value of business acquired ("VOBA") represents the difference between the carrying value of the purchased insurance
contract liabilities at the time of the business combination and the estimated fair value of insurance and reinsurance contracts.
VOBA can be either positive or negative. Positive VOBA is recorded in insurance intangibles. Negative VOBA is recorded in the
same financial statement line in the consolidated statements of financial condition as the associated reserves.
For limited-payment products (e.g., payout annuities), gross premiums received in excess of net premiums are deferred at
initial recognition as a deferred profit liability (“DPL”). DPL is measured using assumptions consistent with those used in the
measurement of the liability for future policy benefits, including discount rate, mortality, lapses, and expenses. DPL is recorded
in policy liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
For certain preneed contracts, the gross premium is in excess of the benefit reserve plus additional insurance liability. An
unearned front-end load ("UFEL") is established to defer the recognition of this front-end load. UFEL is recorded in policy
liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Amortization
DAC is amortized on a constant level basis for the grouped contracts over the expected economic life of the related
contracts. Global Atlantic amortizes DAC for all products on a constant level basis based on policy count, except for DAC for
traditional life products that are amortized on a constant level basis based on face amount. The constant level bases used for
amortization are projected using mortality and lapse assumptions that are based on Global Atlantic's experience, industry data,
and other factors and are consistent with those used for the liability for future policy benefits. If those projected assumptions
change in future periods, they will be reflected in the cohort level amortization basis at that time. Unexpected lapses, due to
higher mortality and lapse experience than expected, are recognized in the current period as a reduction of the capitalized
balances.
Amortization of DAC is included in amortization of policy acquisition costs in the consolidated statements of operations.
VOBA is generally amortized using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC.
DPL is amortized and recognized in proportion to insurance in-force for life insurance contracts and expected future benefit
payments for annuity contracts. Interest is accreted on the balance of the DPL using the discount rate determined at contract
issuance. Global Atlantic reviews and updates its estimates of cash flows for the DPL at the same time as the estimates of cash
flows for the liability for future policy benefits. When cash flows are updated, the updated estimates are used to recalculate the
DPL at contract issuance. The recalculated DPL as of the beginning of the current reporting period is compared to the carrying
amount of the DPL as of the beginning of the current reporting period, and any difference is recognized as either a charge or
credit to net policy benefits and claims.
UFEL is amortized consistent with the amortization of DAC on preneed contracts.
The key assumptions used in the calculation of the amortization of these balances are reviewed quarterly and updated if
actual experience or other evidence suggests that current assumptions should be revised. In addition, Global Atlantic formally
reviews assumptions annually as part of the assumptions review process. The effects of changes in assumptions are recorded in
net income in the period in which the changes are made.
Internal Replacements
An internal replacement is a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverages that occurs by the legal
extinguishment of one contract and the issuance of another contract (a contract exchange), or by amendment, endorsement, or
rider to a contract, or by the election of a benefit, feature, right, or coverage within a contract. If the modification does not
substantially change the contract, the unchanged contract is viewed as a prospective revision and the unamortized DAC is
adjusted prospectively. As such, unamortized DAC and other associated balances from the unchanged contract are retained and
acquisition costs incurred to modify the contract are not deferred but expensed as incurred. Other balances associated with the
unchanged contract, such as any liability for future policyholder benefit or market risk benefits, should similarly be accounted
for as if the unchanged contract is a continuation of the original contract. If an internal replacement represents a substantial
change, the original contract is considered to be extinguished and any related DAC or other policy balances are charged or
credited to income, and any new deferrable costs associated with the replacement contract are deferred.
Separate Accounts
Separate account assets and liabilities represent segregated funds administered and invested by Global Atlantic for the
benefit of variable annuities and variable universal life insurance contractholders and certain pension funds. Global Atlantic
reports separately, as assets and liabilities, investments held in the separate accounts and liabilities of separate accounts if: (i)
such separate accounts are legally recognized; (ii) assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from Global
Atlantic’s general account liabilities; (iii) investments are directed by the contract owner or participant; and (iv) all investment
performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contract owner.
Separate account assets consist principally of mutual funds at fair value. The investment income and gains and losses of
these accounts generally accrue to the contractholders and therefore, are not included in Global Atlantic’s net income.
However, Global Atlantic’s net income reflects fees assessed and earned on fund values of these contracts which are presented
as a component of policy fees in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized investment gains and losses related to
separate accounts that meet the conditions for separate account reporting accrue to and are borne by the contractholder.
Policy Liabilities
Policy liabilities, or collectively, “reserves,” are the portion of past premiums or assessments received that are set aside to
meet future policy and contract obligations as they become due. Interest accrues on these reserves and on future premiums,
which may also be available to pay for future obligations. Global Atlantic establishes reserves to pay future policyholder
benefits, claims, and certain expenses for its life policies and annuity contracts.
Reserves are estimates based on models that include many actuarial assumptions and projections. These assumptions and
projections, which are inherently uncertain, involve significant judgment, including assumptions as to the levels and/or timing of
premiums, benefits, claims, expenses, interest credits, investment results (including equity market returns), mortality, longevity,
and persistency.
The assumptions on which reserves are based are intended to represent an estimation of experience for the period that
policyholder benefits are payable. The adequacy of these reserves and the assumptions underlying those reserves are reviewed
at least annually. Global Atlantic cannot, however, determine with precision the amount or the timing of actual policyholder
benefit payments. If actual experience is better than or equal to the assumptions, then reserves would be adequate to provide
for future policyholder benefits and expenses. If experience is worse than the assumptions, additional reserves may be required
to meet future policy and contract obligations. This would result in a charge to Global Atlantic’s net income during the period in
which excess policyholder benefits are paid or an increase in reserves occurs.
For a majority of Global Atlantic’s in-force policies, including its universal life policies and most annuity contracts, the base
policy reserve is equal to the account value. For these products, the account value represents Global Atlantic’s obligation to
repay to the policyholder the amounts held on deposit. However, there are several significant blocks of business where
additional policyholder reserves are explicitly calculated, including fixed-indexed annuities, variable annuities, universal life with
secondary guarantees, indexed universal life and preneed policies.
Annuity Contracts
Fixed Indexed Annuities ("FIA")
Policy liabilities for fixed-indexed annuities earning a fixed rate of interest and certain other fixed-rate annuity products are
computed under a retrospective deposit method and represent policyholder account balances before applicable surrender
charges. For certain fixed-rate annuity products, an additional reserve was established for above market interest rate
guarantees upon acquisition. These reserves are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining guaranteed interest rate
period.
Certain of Global Atlantic’s fixed-indexed annuity products enable the policyholder to allocate contract value between a
fixed crediting rate and strategies which reflect the change in the value of an index, such as the S&P 500 Index or other indices.
These products are accounted for as investment-type contracts. The liability for these products consists of a combination of the
underlying account value and an embedded derivative value. The liability for the underlying account value is primarily based on
policy guarantees and its initial value is the difference between the premium payment and the fair value of the embedded
derivative. Thereafter, the account value liability is determined in a manner consistent with the accounting for a deposit liability
under the “effective yield method.” All future host balances are determined as: (i) the initial host balance; (ii) plus interest; (iii)
less applicable policyholder benefits. The interest rate used in the prior roll forward is re-determined on each valuation date,
per the effective yield method. The embedded derivative component’s fair value is based on an estimate of the policyholders’
expected participation in future increases in the relevant index. The fair value of this embedded derivative component includes
assumptions, including those about future interest rates and investment yields, future costs for options used to hedge the
contract obligations, projected withdrawal and surrender activity, benefit utilization and the level and limits on contract
participation in any future increases in the respective index option. The account value liability and embedded derivative are
recorded in policy liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition, with changes in value of the liabilities
recorded in policy benefits and claims in the consolidated statements of operations.
Contractholder deposit funds reserves for certain assumed blocks of fixed-indexed and fixed-rate annuity products are
accounted for as investment-type contracts. A net liability (consisting of the benefit reserve plus deferred revenue liability less
ceding commission paid between a ceding and assuming reinsurance company) is established at inception and amortized under
the effective yield method.
Global Atlantic issues registered index-linked annuity ("RILA") contracts, which are similar to FIAs in offering the
policyholder the opportunity to participate in the performance of a market index, subject to a cap or adjusted for a participation
rate. In contrast to the FIA, the RILA enables policyholders to earn higher returns but with the risk of loss to principal and related
earnings. In particular, if performance of the market indices is negative, the policyholder may potentially absorb losses, subject
to downside protection in the form of either a "buffer" or a "floor" specified in the contract. A "buffer" is protection from
downside performance up to a certain percentage, typically 10 percent, with uncapped losses thereafter. A "floor" is protection
from downside performance in excess of the "floor," e.g., if the floor is 10% then the policyholder absorbs losses up to 10% but
not in excess.
The RILA is accounted for similar to the FIA. The RILA host contract is calculated at the inception of the contract as the value
of the initial premium minus the value of the index option, which is an embedded derivative. That initial host value is then
accreted to the guaranteed surrender value at the end of the surrender charge period. The RILA index option, which is an
embedded derivative, is required to be measured at fair value. Fair value represents the policyholders’ expected participation in
future increases in the relevant index and is calculated as the excess cash flows from the indexed crediting feature above the
guaranteed cash flows. The excess cash flows are based on the option budget methodology whereby the indexed account is
projected to grow by the option budget. A key difference from a standard FIA product is that the RILA policyholder can lose
principal on this investment. Therefore, it is possible that the embedded derivative can become negative. The option budget will
be calculated depending on the product type and strategy. The growth in the indexed account will be projected based on the
value of the options dependent upon the strategy and associated hedge construction. The fair value of this embedded derivative
component includes assumptions, including those about future interest rates and investment yields, future costs for options
used to hedge the contract obligations, projected withdrawal and surrender activity, benefit utilization and the level and limits
on contract participation in any future increases in the respective index option. The account value liability and embedded
derivative are recorded in policy liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition, with changes in value of the
liabilities recorded in policy benefits and claims in the consolidated statements of operations.
Variable Annuities
Global Atlantic issues and assumes variable annuity contracts for which the liabilities are included in policy liabilities in the
consolidated statements of financial condition. The change in the liabilities for these benefits is included in policy benefits and
claims in the consolidated statements of operations. Variable annuity contracts may have certain guarantees that are accounted
for as market risk benefits, which are discussed in more detail below.
Funding Agreements
Global Atlantic issues funding agreements to certain unaffiliated special purpose entities that have issued debt securities for
which payment of interest and principal is secured by such funding agreements. Global Atlantic also has similar obligations to
Federal Home Loan Banks. Global Atlantic’s funding agreements are considered investment type contracts and liabilities are net
deposits plus accrued and unpaid interest. Global Atlantic's obligation is reported in policy liabilities in the consolidated
statements of financial condition. Interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method and recorded in policy
benefits and claims in the consolidated statements of operations.
Interest-Sensitive Life Products
For universal life policies, the base policy reserve is the policyholder account value.
Policy liabilities for indexed universal life with returns linked to the performance of a specified market index are equal to
the sum of two components: (i) the fair value of the embedded derivative; and (ii) the host (or guaranteed) component. The fair
value of the embedded derivative component is based on the fair value of the policyholders’ expected participation in future
increases in the relevant index over the life of the contract. The fair value of this embedded derivative component includes
assumptions, including those about future interest rates and investment yields, future costs for options used to hedge the
contract obligations, projected benefits, benefit utilization and the level and limits on contract participation in any future
increases in the respective index option.
The initial host balance is established at the time of premium payment and is equal to the total account value less the
embedded derivative component. Thereafter, the balance of the host component is determined in a manner consistent with the
accounting for a deposit liability under the “effective yield method.” All future host balances are determined as: (i) the initial
host balance; (ii) plus interest; (iii) less applicable policyholder benefits. The interest rate used in the prior roll forward is re-
determined on each valuation date, per the effective yield method.
Preneed Policies
Preneed insurance contracts that feature death benefits with variable growth rates are accounted for as universal life-type
contracts, which requires that the retrospective deposit method be used. This includes contracts where Global Atlantic has the
discretion to adjust death benefit growth rates up or down, or where death benefit growth rates are tied to inflation as
measured by the U.S. Consumer Price Index. The retrospective deposit method establishes a liability for policyholder benefits in
an amount determined by the account or contract balance that accrues to the benefit of the policyholder. This account value is
deemed to be equal to the contract’s statutory cash surrender value. In addition to the account balance, Global Atlantic
establishes an additional reserve for expected future discretionary benefits which is reflected as policy liabilities in KKR's
consolidated statements of financial condition.
Preneed insurance contracts without a discretionary death benefit growth rate have death benefits which are fixed and
guaranteed. For these contracts, Global Atlantic recognizes a liability for future policy benefits.
Traditional and Limited Payment Contracts
Liability for Future Policy Benefits
A liability for future policy benefits, which is the present value of estimated future policy benefits to be paid to or on behalf
of policyholders and certain related expenses less the present value of estimated future net premiums to be collected from
policyholders, is accrued as premium revenue is recognized. The liability is estimated using current assumptions that include
mortality, morbidity, lapses, and expenses. These current assumptions are based on judgments that consider Global Atlantic’s
historical experience, industry data, and other factors.
For nonparticipating traditional and limited-payment contracts, contracts are grouped into cohorts by contract type and
issue year. The liability is adjusted for differences between actual and expected experience. With the exception of the expense
assumption, Global Atlantic reviews its historical and future cash flow assumptions quarterly and updates the net premium ratio
used to calculate the liability each time the assumptions are changed. Global Atlantic has elected to use expense assumptions
that are locked in at contract inception and are not subsequently reviewed or updated.
Each quarter, Global Atlantic updates its estimate of cash flows expected over the entire life of a group of contracts using
actual historical experience and current future cash flow assumptions. These updated cash flows are discounted using the
discount rate or curve on the original contract issue date to calculate the revised net premiums and net premium ratio, which
are used to derive an updated liability for future policy benefits. This amount is then compared to the carrying amount of the
liability before the updating of cash flow assumptions to determine the current period change in liability estimate. This current
period change in the liability is the liability remeasurement gain or loss and is presented parenthetically as a separate
component of benefit expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
For nonparticipating traditional and limited-payment contracts, the discount rate assumption is a spot rate yield curve that
is derived based on upper medium grade (low credit risk) fixed-income instruments with similar duration to the liability. Global
Atlantic uses one or more external indices of corporate credit issues as its proxy for these instruments. The discount rate
assumption is updated quarterly and used to remeasure the liability at the reporting date, with the resulting change in the
discount rate reflected in other comprehensive income. For liability cash flows between two market observable points on the
yield curve, Global Atlantic interpolates the effective yield by holding the marginal rates constant. For liability cash flows that
are projected beyond the last market-observable point on the yield curve, Global Atlantic uses the last market-observable yield
level.
Payout Annuities
Payout annuities include single premium immediate annuities, annuitizations of deferred annuities, pension risk transfer
and structured settlements. These contracts subject the insurer to risks over a period that extends beyond the period or periods
in which premiums are collected. These contracts may be either non-life contingent or life contingent. Non-life contingent
annuities are accounted for as investment contracts. For life contingent annuities, Global Atlantic records a liability at the
present value of future annuity payments and estimated future expenses calculated using expected mortality and costs, and
expense assumptions. Any gross premiums received in excess of the net premium is the DPL and is recognized separately in
income in a constant relationship with the discounted amount of the insurance in-force or expected future benefit payments.
These liabilities are recorded in policy liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Also included under payout annuities are liabilities for disability income benefits which pertain primarily to disability income
policies that are already in claim payout status. Liabilities for disability income benefits are calculated as the present value of
future disability payments and estimated future expenses using expected mortality and costs, and interest assumptions. The
liabilities are recorded in policy liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Whole and Term Life
Global Atlantic has established liabilities for amounts payable under insurance policies, including whole life insurance and
term life insurance policies. These policies provide death benefits in exchange for a guaranteed level premium for a specified
period of time and, in the case of whole life, a guaranteed minimum cash surrender value. Generally, liabilities for these policies
are calculated as the present value of future expected benefits to be paid, reduced by the present value of future expected net
premiums. Current assumptions are used in the establishment of liabilities for future policyholder benefits including mortality,
policy lapse, renewal, investment returns, inflation, expenses and other contingent events as appropriate for the respective
product. Each quarter, Global Atlantic updates its estimate of cash flows using actual historical experience and current future
cash flow assumptions. These updated cash flows are discounted using the discount rate or curve on the original contract issue
date to calculate the revised net premiums and net premium ratio, which are used to derive an updated liability for future policy
benefits. This amount is then compared to the carrying amount of the liability before the updating of cash flow assumptions to
determine the current period change in liability estimate. This current period change in the liability is the liability
remeasurement gain or loss and is presented parenthetically as a separate component of benefit expense in the consolidated
statements of operations.
Policy liabilities for participating whole life insurance policies are equal to the aggregate of: (i) net level premium reserves
for death and endowment policyholder benefits (calculated based upon the non-forfeiture interest rate, and mortality rated
guarantee in calculating the cash surrender values described in such contracts); and (ii) the liability for terminal dividends.
Long-Term Care
Long-term care policies are purchased by individuals to pay for specified personal care costs, typically in the later stage of
life at the onset of a loss of ability to perform certain basic activities of daily living. Policyholders pay ongoing premiums to keep
the policy in force and receive benefits in the event their health becomes impaired. Global Atlantic has established liabilities for
future policyholder benefits payable under its long-term care policies reinsured. Liabilities for long-term care benefits are
calculated as the present value of future expected benefits to be paid reduced by the present value of future expected net
premiums. Principal assumptions used in the establishment of liabilities for future policyholder benefits are mortality, morbidity
(claim incidence and continuation), lapse, and future interest rates.
Long-term care insurance risks assumed by Global Atlantic have been retroceded to a third-party reinsurer in exchange for
fixed cash flows. Net of this reinsurance, the long-term care block has the economic profile of a period certain annuity.
Product Guarantees
Market Risk Benefits
Market risk benefits are contracts or contract features that both provide protection to the policyholder from other-than-
nominal capital market risk and expose Global Atlantic to other-than-nominal capital market risk.
Market risk benefits include certain contract features on fixed annuity and variable annuity products. These features include
minimum guarantees to policyholders, such as guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDBs”), guaranteed minimum
withdrawal benefits (“GMWBs”), and long-term care benefits (which are capped at the return of account value plus one or two
times the account value). Market risk benefits are measured at fair value using a non-option and option valuation approach
based on current net amounts at risk, market data, experience, and other factors. Changes in fair value are recognized in net
income each period with the exception of the portion of the change in fair value due to a change in the instrument-specific
credit risk, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Additional Liability for Annuitization, Death, or Other Insurance Benefits
Global Atlantic establishes additional liabilities for contracts or contract features that provide for potential benefits in
addition to the account balance but are not market risk benefits or embedded derivatives. These benefits include annuitization
benefits and death or other insurance benefits (e.g., universal life secondary guarantees). For these benefits, the liability is the
sum of the current benefit ratio multiplied by cumulative assessments and accreted interest, less excess payments.
In particular, Global Atlantic holds additional liabilities for universal life products with secondary guarantees, sometimes
referred to as no-lapse guarantees. The additional liabilities are measured using the benefit ratio approach where excess
benefits are spread over the life of the contract based on assessments collected from the policyholder. Generally, total expected
excess benefit payments are the aggregate of death claims after the policyholder account value is exhausted. The exception is
when the cost of insurance charges are insufficient to produce consistently positive earnings in the future. In this case, all death
benefits are deemed to be excess benefits. For annuitization benefits, the benefit ratio is the present value of expected
annuitization payments to be made less the accrued account balance at the expected annuitization date divided by the present
value of expected assessments during the accumulation phase of the contract, discounted at the contract rate. Expected
annuitization payments and related incremental claim adjustment expenses, expected assessments, and expected excess
payments are calculated using discount rate, mortality, lapse, and expense assumptions.
Global Atlantic recognizes a shadow reserve adjustment for the additional insurance liabilities when unrealized gains and
losses are included in the investment margin while calculating the present value of expected assessments for the benefit ratios.
Shadow reserve adjustments are recognized in other comprehensive income.
For additional liabilities for death or other insurance benefits, the discount rate assumption is based on the contract rate at
inception. The mortality, lapse, and expense assumptions are based on Global Atlantic’s experience, industry data, and other
factors. Assumptions are reviewed and updated, if necessary, at least annually. When those assumptions are updated, the
benefit ratio and the liability are remeasured, with the resulting gain or loss reflected in total benefits expense.
Outstanding Claims
Outstanding claims include amounts payable relating to in course of settlement and incurred but not reported claim
liabilities. In course of settlement, claim liabilities are established for policies when Global Atlantic is notified of the death of the
policyholder, but the claim has not been paid as of the reporting date. Incurred but not reported claim liabilities are determined
using studies of past experience and are estimated using actuarial assumptions of historical claims expense, adjusted for current
trends and conditions. These estimates are continually reviewed, and the ultimate liability may vary significantly from the
amounts initially recognized, which are reflected in net income in the period in which they are determined. Changes in
policyholder and contract claims are recorded in policy benefits and claims in the consolidated statements of operations.
Closed Blocks
Through its insurance companies, Global Atlantic has acquired several closed blocks of participating life insurance policies.
Global Atlantic has elected to account for the closed block policy liabilities using the fair value option.
The assets and cash flow generated by the closed blocks inure solely to the benefit of the holders of policies included in the
closed blocks. All closed block assets will ultimately be paid out as policyholder benefits and through policyholder dividends. In
the event that the closed blocks’ assets are insufficient to meet the benefits of the closed blocks' benefits, general assets of
Global Atlantic would be used to meet the contractual benefits to the closed blocks’ policyholders.
The closed block liabilities are measured at fair value, which comprises the fair value of the closed block assets plus the
present value of projected expenses including commissions and the cost of capital charges associated with the closed blocks. In
calculating the present value, Global Atlantic used a discount rate based on current U.S. Treasury rates, with a risk margin to
reflect uncertainties in the closed block liability and a provision for Global Atlantic’s instrument-specific credit risk.
Reinsurance
Consistent with the overall business strategy, Global Atlantic assumes certain policy risks written by other insurance
companies on a coinsurance, modified coinsurance or funds withheld coinsurance basis. Reinsurance accounting is applied for
these ceded and assumed transactions when risk transfer provisions have been met. To meet risk transfer requirements, a long-
duration reinsurance contract must transfer mortality or morbidity risks, and subject the reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of
a significant loss. Those contracts that do not meet risk transfer requirements are accounted for using deposit accounting.
Global Atlantic seeks to diversify risk and limits its overall financial exposure through reinsurance.
With respect to ceded reinsurance, Global Atlantic values reinsurance recoverables on reported claims at the time the
underlying claim is recognized in accordance with contract terms. For future policyholder benefits, Global Atlantic estimates the
amount of reinsurance recoverables based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts and historical reinsurance recovery
information. The reinsurance recoverables are based on what Global Atlantic believes are reasonable estimates and the balance
is reported as an asset in the consolidated statements of financial condition. However, the ultimate amount of the reinsurance
recoverable is not known until all claims are settled.
The cost of reinsurance, which is the difference between the amount paid for a reinsurance contract and the amount of the
liabilities for policy benefits relating to the underlying reinsured contracts, is deferred and amortized over the reinsurance
contract period for short-duration contracts, or over the terms of the reinsured policies on a basis consistent with the reporting
of those policies for long-duration contracts. Generally, Global Atlantic amortizes cost of reinsurance based on policy count or
effective yield method, retrospectively calculated based on actual and projected future cash flows. Cost of reinsurance assets
and liabilities are reported in insurance intangibles and policy liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition,
respectively. Reinsurance contracts do not relieve Global Atlantic from its obligations to policyholders, and failure of reinsurers
to honor their obligations could result in losses to Global Atlantic; consequently, allowances are established for expected credit
losses, via a charge to policy benefits and claims in the consolidated statements of operations. Global Atlantic’s funds withheld
receivable at interest and reinsurance recoverable assets are reviewed for expected credit losses by considering credit ratings
for each reinsurer, historical insurance industry specific default rate factors, rights of offset, expected recovery rates upon
default and the impact of other terms specific to the reinsurance arrangement.
For funds withheld and modified coinsurance agreements, Global Atlantic has the right to receive or obligation to pay the
total return on assets supporting the funds withheld receivable at interest or funds withheld payable at interest. This indirectly
exposes Global Atlantic to the credit risk of the underlying assets. As a result, funds withheld coinsurance and modified
coinsurance agreements are viewed as total return swaps and accounted for as embedded derivatives. Embedded derivatives
are required to be separated from the host contracts and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net
income. Generally, the embedded derivative is measured as the difference between the fair value of the underlying assets and
the carrying value of the host contract at the balance sheet date. The fair value of the embedded derivative is included in the
funds withheld receivable at interest or the funds withheld payable at interest on the consolidated statements of financial
condition. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative are reported in operating activities on the consolidated
statements of cash flows.
Recognition of Insurance Revenue and Related Benefits
Premiums related to whole life and term life insurance contracts and payout contracts with life contingencies are
recognized in premiums in the consolidated statements of operations when due from the contractholders.
Amounts received as payment for universal life and investment-type contracts are reported as deposits to contractholder
account balances and recorded in policy liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Amounts received as
payment for Global Atlantic’s fixed fund variable annuities are reported as a component of policy liabilities in the consolidated
statements of financial condition. Revenues from these contracts consist primarily of fees assessed against the contractholder
account balance for mortality, policy administration, separate account administration and surrender charges, and are reported
in policy fees in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, Global Atlantic earns investment income from the
investment of contract deposits in Global Atlantic’s insurance companies' general account portfolio, which is reported in net
investment income in the consolidated statements of operations.
Fees assessed that represent compensation to Global Atlantic for benefits to be provided in future periods and certain
other fees are established as an unearned revenue reserve liability and amortized into revenue over the expected life of the
related contracts in a manner consistent with DAC for these contracts. Unearned revenue reserves are reported in policy
liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition and amortized into policy fees in the consolidated statements of
operations. Benefits and expenses for these products include claims in excess of related account balances, expenses for contract
administration and interest credited to contractholder account balances in the consolidated statements of operations.
Global Atlantic primarily earns revenues from premiums, policy fees, income from investments, and other administration,
management, and distribution fees. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Global Atlantic’s revenue was sourced in its entirety
from the Americas (100%), based on the geographic region of the reporting subsidiary company. Due to a large block
reinsurance transaction during the year ended December 31, 2024, Global Atlantic recognized more than 10% of KKR's total
consolidated revenues with one reinsurance counterparty in the period. Predominantly all of Global Atlantic’s fixed assets are
located in the United States.
Other Income
Other income is primarily comprised of expense allowances on ceded reinsurance, administration fees, management fees
and distribution fees.
Insurance Expenses
Insurance expenses are primarily comprised of commissions expense, premium taxes, amortization of acquired distribution
and trade name intangibles, and other expenses related to insurance products and reinsurance transactions.
General, Administrative and Other Expenses
General, administrative and other expenses are primarily comprised of employee compensation and benefit expenses,
administrative and professional services and other operating expenses.
Incentive and Other Deferred Compensation
Global Atlantic measured compensation cost for certain legacy deferred or cash-based compensation plans that were in
place prior to 2024 using an intrinsic value method, beginning on the date of grant, and remeasured the value at each reporting
period until the awards are settled. Accrued compensation expense is recognized in general, administrative and other expenses
in the consolidated statements of operations and within accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of
financial condition.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024–01, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of
Profits Interest and Similar Awards” (“ASU 2024–01”). ASU 2024–01 amends the guidance in Accounting Standard Codification
718 (“ASC 718”) by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate and clarify how to apply the scope guidance to determine
whether profits interests and similar awards should be accounted for as a share-based payment arrangement under ASC 718 or
another standard. KKR adopted this accounting standard effective for the year ended December 31, 2025, and its adoption did
not have a material impact on KKR’s consolidated financial statements.
Income Tax Disclosure Improvements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023–09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax
Disclosures" ("ASU 2023–09"). ASU 2023–09 intends to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax
disclosures, requiring disaggregated information about an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as income taxes paid.
KKR adopted this accounting standard effective for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis and its adoption
did not have a material impact on KKR's consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 18 "Income Taxes" for the expanded
disclosures.
Future Application of Accounting Standards
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024–03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense
Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024–03”). ASU 2024–03
requires a public business entity to provide disaggregated disclosures of certain categories of expenses on an annual and interim
basis including employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization for each income statement expense
line item that contains those expenses. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. KKR is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its
consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025–03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810):
Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity” (“ASU 2025–03”). ASU 2025–03 requires an
entity involved in an acquisition transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests when the legal acquiree is a
variable interest entity (“VIE”) that meets the definition of a business to consider certain factors to determine which entity is the
accounting acquirer. The update will be effective for annual periods and interim periods in annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2026. KKR does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements
or disclosures.
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025–05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025–05”). ASU 2025–05 simplifies the application of the current
expected credit loss model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets under ASC 606. The update will be
effective for annual periods and interim periods in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption
is permitted. KKR is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and
disclosures.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025–06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic
350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025–06”). ASU 2025–06 eliminates
accounting consideration of software project development stages; requires capitalizing software costs when (i) management has
authorized and committed to funding the project and (ii) it is ‘probable’ the project will be completed and the software used to
perform its intended function (the ‘probable-to-complete’ threshold). ASU 2025–06 also enhances the guidance around the
‘probable-to-complete’ threshold. The update will be effective for annual periods and interim periods in annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2027. KKR is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated
financial statements and disclosures.
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Purchased Loans. ASU
2025-08 expands the population of purchased financial assets subject to the gross-up approach in Topic 326. As a result of this
update, loans (excluding credit cards) acquired without credit deterioration and deemed “seasoned” as defined in the ASU will
follow the gross-up approach at acquisition and the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price to
determine the amortized cost basis of the loans. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026,
including interim periods within those fiscal years, and is to be applied prospectively to loans acquired on or after adoption;
early adoption is permitted. KKR is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial
statements and disclosures.

4**.** NET GAINS (LOSSES) FROM INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES – ASSET MANAGEMENT AND
STRATEGIC HOLDINGS
Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the consolidated statements of operations consist primarily of the
realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments (including foreign exchange gains and losses attributable to foreign
denominated investments and related activities) and other financial instruments, including those for which the fair value
option has been elected. Unrealized gains or losses result from changes in the fair value of these investments and other
financial instruments during a period. Upon disposition of an investment or financial instrument, previously recognized
unrealized gains or losses are reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period.

Unrealized gains and losses can be created by changing interest rates or several other factors, including changing credit
spreads. Global Atlantic had gross unrealized losses on below investment grade AFS fixed maturity securities of $279.7 million
and $557.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The single largest unrealized loss on AFS fixed maturity
securities was $43.8 million and $54.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Global Atlantic had 4,294 and
5,966 securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, AFS fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more consisted of
2,810 fixed maturity securities. AFS fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more with an
allowance for credit losses had a fair value and gross unrealized losses of $1.4 billion and $125.5 million, respectively, as of
December 31, 2025. These fixed maturity securities primarily relate to Corporate, RMBS, and U.S. state, municipal and
political subdivisions fixed maturity securities, which have depressed values due primarily to an increase in interest rates since
the purchase of these securities. Unrealized losses were not recognized in net income on these fixed maturity securities since
Global Atlantic neither intends to sell the securities nor does it believe that it is more likely than not that it will be required to
sell these securities before recovery of their cost or amortized cost basis. For securities with significant declines in value,
individual security level analysis was performed utilizing underlying collateral default expectations, market data, and industry
analyst reports.

Loan-to-Value Ratio on Mortgage Loans
The loan-to-value ratio is expressed as a percentage of the current amount of the loan relative to the value of the
underlying collateral. The following table summarizes Global Atlantic's loan-to-value ratios for its commercial mortgage loans

Changing economic conditions and updated assumptions affect Global Atlantic's assessment of the collectibility of
commercial mortgage loans. Changing vacancies and rents are incorporated into the analysis that Global Atlantic performs to
measure the allowance for credit losses. In addition, Global Atlantic continuously monitors its commercial mortgage loan
portfolio to identify risk. Areas of emphasis are properties that have exposure to specific geographic events or have
deteriorating credit.
The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for Global Atlantic's residential mortgage loans was 64% and 63% as of
December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Loan Modifications
Global Atlantic may modify the terms of a loan when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, as a means to
optimize recovery of amounts due on the loan. Modifications may involve temporary relief, such as payment forbearance for
a short period of time (where interest continues to accrue) or may involve more substantive changes to a loan. Changes to the
terms of a loan, pursuant to a modification agreement, are factored into the analysis of the loan’s expected credit losses,
under the allowance model applicable to the loan.
For commercial mortgage loans, modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are tailored for individual
loans and may include interest rate relief, maturity extensions or, less frequently, principal forgiveness. For both residential
mortgage loans and consumer loans, the most common modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, aside
from insignificant delays in payment, typically involve deferral of missed payments to the end of the loan term, interest rate
relief, or maturity extensions.
The tables below present the carrying value of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, for which
modifications have been granted during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
| Year Ended December 31, 2025 by Loan Type | Deferral of Amounts Due | Interest Rate Relief | Maturity Extension | Combination**(1)** | Total | Percentage of Total Carrying Value Outstanding | |||||

(1)Includes modifications involving a combination of deferral of amounts due, interest rate relief, or maturity extension.
(2)Excludes loans that were modified during the year, but were repaid in full by year end.
All of the commercial mortgage loans that had a combination of modifications had both interest rate relief and maturity
extensions. For commercial mortgage loans granted interest rate relief, this relief generally involved either a change from a
floating rate or a decrease in fixed rate to a weighted average rate of 4.2% and 4.9% for the years ended December 31, 2025
and 2024, respectively. The maturity extensions for commercial mortgage loans added a weighted-average of 1.9 years and
2.9 years to the life of the loans, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025,

8. DERIVATIVES
Asset Management and Strategic Holdings
KKR and certain of its consolidated funds have entered into derivative transactions as part of the overall risk management
for their investment strategies. These derivative contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting
purposes. Such contracts may include forward, swap, and option contracts related to foreign currencies and interest rates to
manage foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk arising from certain assets and liabilities. All derivatives are recognized in
Other Assets or Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities and are presented on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of
financial condition and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in Net Gains (Losses) from Investment
Activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. KKR's derivative financial instruments contain credit
risk to the extent that its counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. KKR attempts to reduce this risk
by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions with strong credit ratings.
Insurance
Global Atlantic holds derivative instruments that are primarily used in its hedge program. Global Atlantic has established
a hedge program that seeks to mitigate economic impacts primarily from interest rate and equity price movements, while
taking into consideration accounting and capital impacts.
Global Atlantic hedges interest rate and equity market risks associated with its insurance liabilities including fixed-indexed
annuities, indexed universal life policies, variable annuity policies, and variable universal life policies, among others. For fixed-
indexed annuities and indexed universal life policies, Global Atlantic generally seeks to use static hedges to offset the
exposure primarily created by changes in its embedded derivative balances. Global Atlantic generally purchases options which
replicate the crediting rate strategies, often in the form of call spreads. Call spreads are the purchase of a call option matched
by the sale of a different call option. For variable annuities and variable universal life policies, Global Atlantic generally seeks
to dynamically hedge its exposure to changes in the value of the guarantee it provides to policyholders. Doing so requires the
active trading of several financial instruments to respond to changes in market conditions. In addition, Global Atlantic enters
into inflation swaps to manage inflation risk associated with inflation-indexed preneed policies.
In the context of specific reinsurance transactions in the institutional channel or acquisitions, Global Atlantic may also
enter into hedges which are designed to limit short-term market risks to the economic value of the target assets. From time to
time, Global Atlantic also enters into hedges designed to mitigate interest rate and credit risk in investment income, interest
expense, and fair value of assets and liabilities. In addition, Global Atlantic enters into currency swaps and forwards to
manage any foreign exchange rate risks that may arise from investments and policy liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies.
Global Atlantic attempts to mitigate the risk of loss due to ineffectiveness under these derivative investments through a
regular monitoring process which evaluates the program’s effectiveness. Global Atlantic monitors its derivative activities by
reviewing portfolio activities and risk levels. Global Atlantic also oversees all derivative transactions to ensure that the types
of transactions entered into and the results obtained from those transactions are consistent with both Global Atlantic's risk
management strategy and its policies and procedures.
The restricted cash which was held in connection with open derivative transactions with exchange brokers was $49.9
million and $135.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Global Atlantic also has embedded derivatives related to reinsurance contracts that are accounted for on a modified
coinsurance and funds withheld basis. An embedded derivative exists because the arrangement exposes the reinsurer to
third-party credit risk. These embedded derivatives are included in funds withheld receivable and payable at interest in the
consolidated statements of financial condition.
Credit Risk
Global Atlantic may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties to
derivatives. Generally, the current credit exposure of Global Atlantic’s derivatives is limited to the positive fair value of
derivatives less any collateral received from the counterparty.
Global Atlantic manages the credit risk on its derivatives by entering into derivative transactions with highly rated
financial institutions and other creditworthy counterparties and, where feasible, by trading through central clearing
counterparties. Global Atlantic further manages its credit risk on derivatives via the use of master netting agreements, which
require the daily posting of collateral by the party in a liability position. Counterparty credit exposure and collateral values are
monitored regularly and measured against counterparty exposure limits. The provisions of derivative transactions may allow
for the termination and settlement of a transaction if there is a downgrade to Global Atlantic’s financial strength ratings
below a specified level.

Derivatives Designated as Accounting Hedges
Where Global Atlantic has derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as accounting hedges, these derivative
instruments receive hedge accounting.
Fair Value Hedges
Global Atlantic has designated foreign exchange derivative contracts, including forwards and swaps, to hedge the foreign
currency risk associated with foreign currency-denominated bonds in fair value hedges. These foreign currency-denominated
bonds are accounted for as AFS fixed maturity securities. Changes in the fair value of the hedged AFS fixed maturity securities
due to changes in spot exchange rates are reclassified from AOCI to earnings, which offsets the earnings impact of the spot
changes of the foreign exchange derivative contracts, both of which are recognized within investment-related gains (losses).
The effectiveness of these hedges is assessed using the spot method. Changes in the fair value of the foreign exchange
derivative contracts related to changes in the spot-forward difference are excluded from the assessment of hedge
effectiveness and are deferred in AOCI and recognized in earnings using a systematic and rational method over the life of the
foreign exchange derivative contracts. The amortized cost of the AFS fixed maturity securities in qualifying foreign exchange
fair value hedges was $3.7 billion and $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Global Atlantic has designated interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with certain debt and policy
liabilities. These fair value hedges generally qualify for the shortcut method of assessing hedge effectiveness. The following
table presents the financial statement classification, carrying amount, and cumulative fair value hedging adjustments for
qualifying hedged debt and policy liabilities:
| As of December 31, 2025 | As of December 31, 2024 | ||||||
| Carrying Amount of Hedged Liabilities | Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustments Included in the Carrying Amount of Hedged Liabilities**(1)** | Carrying Amount of Hedged Liabilities | Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustments Included in the Carrying Amount of Hedged Liabilities**(1)** | ||||
| Debt | $3,572,318 | $(123,471) | $2,279,261 | $(233,202) | |||
| Policy Liabilities | 3,647,117 | (99,239) | 4,453,766 | (204,435) |
(1)Includes $154.6 million and $193.3 million of hedging adjustments on discontinued hedging relationships as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash Flow Hedges
Global Atlantic has designated bond forwards to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the planned purchase of AFS
fixed maturity securities in cash flow hedges. These arrangements are hedging purchases through January 2030 and are
expected to affect earnings until 2057. Regression analysis is used to assess the effectiveness of these hedges.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was a cumulative gain (loss) of $(213.9) million and $(249.7) million,
respectively, on the currently designated bond forwards recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Amounts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to net investment income following the
qualifying purchases of AFS securities, as an adjustment to the yield earned over the life of the purchased securities, using the
effective interest method.
Global Atlantic has designated interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with floating rate
investments, including AFS fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans. Regression analysis is used to assess the
effectiveness of these hedges.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was a cumulative gain (loss) of $(22.3) million and $(60.8) million on the
currently designated interest rate swaps recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), respectively. Amounts
deferred in accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) are reclassified to net investment income in the same period during
which the hedged investments affect earnings.
Global Atlantic has designated foreign exchange swaps to hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with certain policy
liabilities in cash flow hedges. The critical terms of the swaps match those of the hedged liabilities, such that the respective
hedging relationship is expected to be perfectly effective (pursuant to ASC 815-20-25-84).
As of December 31, 2025, there was a cumulative gain (loss) of $(1.7) million on the currently designated foreign
exchange swaps recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Amounts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive
loss are reclassified to net policy benefits and claims in the same period during which the hedged policy liabilities affect
earnings due to changes in spot foreign exchange rates. The amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss
for the swap designated in the hedge comprises changes in its fair value due to changes in spot exchange rates and an
allocated portion of its initial spot-forward difference.
For all cash flow hedges, Global Atlantic estimates that the amount of gains/losses in accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months will not be material.
Net Investment Hedges
Global Atlantic has designated cross currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with certain foreign
currency-denominated equity method investments in net investment hedges. The effectiveness of these hedges is assessed
based on changes in spot rates.
Changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income, consistent with the translation
adjustment for the hedged investment. The component comprising the difference between forward rates and spot rates is
amortized to net investment income over the life of the swaps. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the cumulative foreign
currency translation gain (loss) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to net investment hedges was
$(14.1) million and $(25.3) million, respectively.

(1)In determining certain of these inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic conditions, industry and market developments,
market valuations of comparable companies and company specific developments including exit strategies and realization opportunities. KKR has
determined that market participants would take these inputs into account when valuing the investments and debt obligations. "LTM" means last twelve
months, and "EBITDA" means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
(2)Inputs were weighted based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.
(3)Unless otherwise noted, this column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level III investments that would result from an increase to
the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases and decreases in these
inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.
(4)The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the market comparables approach would increase the fair value of the Level III
investments if the market comparables approach results in a higher valuation than the discounted cash flow approach and transaction price. The opposite
would be true if the market comparables approach results in a lower valuation than the discounted cash flow approach and transaction price.
(5)The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the discounted cash flow approach would increase the fair value of the Level III
investments if the discounted cash flow approach results in a higher valuation than the market comparables approach, transaction price and direct
income capitalization approach. The opposite would be true if the discounted cash flow approach results in a lower valuation than the market
comparables approach, transaction price and direct income capitalization approach.
(6)The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the transaction price or milestones would increase the fair value of the Level III
investments if the transaction price or milestones results in a higher valuation than the market comparables and discounted cash flow approach. The
opposite would be true if the transaction price or milestones results in a lower valuation than the market comparables approach and discounted cash flow
approach.
(7)The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the direct income capitalization approach would increase the fair value of the Level III
investments if the direct income capitalization approach results in a higher valuation than the discounted cash flow approach. The opposite would be true
if the direct income capitalization approach results in a lower valuation than the discounted cash flow approach.
(8)Consists primarily of investments in common stock, preferred stock, warrants and options of companies that are not private equity, real assets, credit,
equity method - other, or investments of consolidated CFEs.
(9)The funds withheld receivable at interest has been excluded from the above table. As discussed in Note 12 – Reinsurance, the funds withheld receivable
at interest is created through funds withheld contracts. The assets supporting these receivables were held in trusts for the benefit of Global Atlantic.
Accordingly, the unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation of the embedded derivative are a component of the invested assets supporting the funds
withheld reinsurance agreements.

(1)In determining certain of these inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic conditions, industry and market developments,
market valuations of comparable companies and company specific developments including exit strategies and realization opportunities. KKR has
determined that market participants would likely take these inputs into account when valuing the investments and debt obligations. "LTM" means last
twelve months, and "EBITDA" means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
(2)Inputs were weighted based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.
(3)Unless otherwise noted, this column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level III investments that would result from an increase to
the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases and decreases in these
inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.
(4)The fair value of the embedded derivative component of the funds withheld payable at interest has been excluded from the above table. The investments
supporting the funds withheld payable at interest balance are held in a trust by Global Atlantic. Accordingly, the unobservable inputs utilized in the
valuation of the embedded derivative are a component of the investments supporting the reinsurance cession agreements.
In the table above, certain private equity investments may be valued at cost for a period of time after an acquisition as
the best indicator of fair value. In addition, certain valuations of private equity investments may be entirely or partially
derived by reference to observable valuation measures for a pending or consummated transaction.
The various unobservable inputs used to determine the Level III valuations may have similar or diverging impacts on
valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could
result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements as noted in the table above.
Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value
Asset management and strategic holdings financial instruments are primarily measured at fair value on a recurring basis,
except as disclosed in Note 16 "Debt Obligations."
The following tables present carrying amounts and fair values of Global Atlantic’s financial instruments which are not
carried at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Significant inputs, judgments, assumptions for insurance intangibles and related amortization amounts
Global Atlantic considers surrender rates, mortality rates, and other relevant policy decrements in determining the
expected life of the contract. As a part of Global Atlantic's actual experience update for the years ended December 31, 2025
and 2024, Global Atlantic concluded that there was no material change in relevant inputs, judgments, or assumptions
requiring an update of the amortization rate for insurance intangibles and related amortization amounts.
12**.** REINSURANCE
Global Atlantic maintains a number of reinsurance treaties with third parties whereby Global Atlantic assumes annuity
and life policies on a coinsurance, modified coinsurance or funds withheld basis. Global Atlantic also maintains other
reinsurance treaties including the cession of certain annuity, life and health policies.
The effects of all reinsurance agreements on the consolidated statements of financial condition were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||
| Policy Liabilities: | |||

| Net Policy Liabilities | $157,831,232 | $140,199,242 |
(1)Reported within reinsurance recoverable within the consolidated statements of financial condition.
A key credit quality indicator is a counterparty’s A.M. Best financial strength rating. A.M. Best ratings are an independent
opinion of a reinsurer’s ability to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders. Global Atlantic mitigates counterparty credit risk
by requiring collateral and credit enhancements in various forms including engaging in funds withheld at interest and
modified coinsurance transactions. The following shows the amortized cost basis of Global Atlantic’s reinsurance recoverable
and funds withheld receivable at interest by credit quality indicator and any associated credit enhancements Global Atlantic
has obtained to mitigate counterparty credit risk:

15. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Consolidated VIEs
KKR consolidates certain VIEs in which it is determined that KKR is the primary beneficiary. The consolidated VIEs are
predominately CLOs and certain investment funds sponsored by KKR. The primary purpose of these VIEs is to provide strategy
specific investment opportunities to earn investment gains, current income or both in exchange for management fees and
performance income. KKR's investment strategies differ for these VIEs; however, the fundamental risks have similar
characteristics, including loss of invested capital and loss of management fees and performance income. KKR does not provide
performance guarantees and has no other financial obligation to provide funding to these consolidated VIEs, beyond amounts
previously committed, if any. Furthermore, KKR consolidates certain VIEs that are formed by Global Atlantic to either (i) hold
investments, including fixed maturity securities, consumer and other loans, renewable energy, transportation and real estate,
or (ii) to conduct certain reinsurance activities with third party commitments.
Unconsolidated VIEs
KKR holds variable interests in certain VIEs which are not consolidated as it has been determined that KKR is not the
primary beneficiary. VIEs that are not consolidated predominantly include certain investment funds sponsored by KKR as well
as certain investment partnerships where Global Atlantic retains an economic interest. KKR's investment strategies differ by
investment fund; however, the fundamental risks have similar characteristics, including loss of invested capital and loss of
management fees and performance income. KKR's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investments in the
unconsolidated investment funds is the carrying value of such investments, including KKR's capital interest and any unrealized
carried interest. Accordingly, disaggregation of KKR's involvement by type of unconsolidated investment fund would not
provide more useful information. For these unconsolidated investment funds in which KKR is the sponsor, KKR may have an
obligation as general partner to provide commitments to such investment funds. As of December 31, 2025, KKR's
commitments to these unconsolidated investment funds were $2.2 billion. KKR generally has not provided any financial
support other than its obligated amount as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, Global Atlantic has unfunded commitments of
$447.1 million as of December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the maximum exposure to loss, before allocations to the carry pool
and noncontrolling interests, if any, for those VIEs in which KKR is determined not to be the primary beneficiary but in which it
has a variable interest is as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||
| Asset Management and Strategic Holdings | |||
| Investments | $11,842,627 | $9,798,370 | |
| Due from (to) Affiliates, net | 1,871,408 | 1,437,525 | |
| Maximum Exposure to Loss | $13,714,035 | $11,235,895 | |
| Insurance | |||
| Real Assets | $79,367 | $124,910 | |
| Other Investments | 720,933 | 664,951 | |
| Maximum Exposure to Loss | $800,300 | $789,861 | |
| Total Maximum Exposure to Loss | $14,514,335 | $12,025,756 |

KCM 364*-Day* Revolving Credit Facility
On April 2, 2025, KKR Capital Markets Holdings L.P. and certain other capital markets subsidiaries (the "KCM Borrowers")
replaced their existing 364-day revolving credit agreement with a new 364-day revolving credit agreement (the "KCM 364-Day
Revolving Credit Facility”) with Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, and one or more lenders party thereto. The KCM
364-Day Revolving Credit Facility replaced the prior 364-day revolving credit facility, dated as of April 4, 2024, between the
KCM Borrowers and the administrative agent, and one or more lenders party to the prior facility, which was terminated
according to its terms on April 2, 2025. The KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility provides for revolving borrowings up to
$750 million, expires on April 1, 2026, and ranks pari passu with the existing $750 million 5-year revolving credit facility
provided by them for KKR's capital markets business (the "KCM Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility"). If a borrowing is made
under the KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, the interest rate will vary depending on the type of drawdown
requested. As with the KCM Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility, borrowings under the KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility
may only be used for KKR’s capital markets business. This facility’s only obligors are entities involved in KKR’s capital markets
business, and its liabilities are non-recourse to other parts of KKR’s business. The KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility
contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, including a
financial covenant providing for a maximum debt to equity ratio for the KCM Borrowers, which are substantially similar to
those found in the KCM Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility. The KCM Borrowers' obligations under the KCM 364-Day Revolving
Credit Facility are secured by certain assets of the KCM Borrowers, including a pledge of equity interests of certain subsidiaries
of the KCM Borrowers.
Other Asset Management and Strategic Holdings Debt Obligations
Certain of KKR's consolidated investment funds have entered into financing arrangements with financial institutions,
generally to provide liquidity to such investment funds. These financing arrangements are generally not direct obligations of
the general partners of KKR's investment funds (beyond KKR's capital interest) or its management companies. Such
borrowings have varying maturities and bear interest at floating rates. Borrowings are generally secured by the investment
purchased with the proceeds of the borrowing and/or the uncalled capital commitment of each respective fund. When an
investment vehicle borrows, the proceeds are available only for use by that investment vehicle and are not available for the
benefit of other investment vehicles or KKR. Collateral within each investment vehicle is also available only against borrowings
by that investment vehicle and not against the borrowings of other investment vehicles or KKR.
In certain other cases, investments and other assets held directly by majority-owned consolidated levered investment
vehicles and other entities have been funded with borrowings that are collateralized by the investments and assets they own.
These borrowings are non-recourse to KKR beyond the investments or assets serving as collateral or the capital that KKR has
committed to fund such investment vehicles. Such borrowings have varying maturities and generally bear interest at fixed
rates.
In addition, consolidated CFEs issue debt securities to third-party investors which are collateralized by assets held by the
CFE. Debt securities issued by CFEs are supported solely by the assets held at the CFEs and are not collateralized by assets of
any other KKR entity. CFEs also may have warehouse facilities with banks to provide liquidity to the CFE. The CFE's debt
obligations are non-recourse to KKR beyond the assets of the CFE.
As of December 31, 2025, other debt obligations consisted of the following:
| Financing Available | Principal | Carrying Value**(1)** | Fair Value | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Weighted Average Remaining Maturity in Years | ||||||
| Financing Facilities of Consolidated Funds and Other | $6,356,060 | $9,678,441 | $9,654,785 | $9,632,992 | 5.2% | 5.1 | |||||

| $6,356,060 | $40,612,665 | $39,882,670 | $39,860,877 |
(1)Includes borrowings collateralized by fund investments, fund co-investments, and other assets held by levered investment vehicles of $3.3 billion.
(2)The senior notes of the consolidated CFEs had a weighted average interest rate of 5.1%. The subordinated notes of the consolidated CLOs do not have
contractual interest rates but instead receive a pro rata amount of the net distributions from the excess cash flows of the respective CLO vehicle.
Accordingly, weighted average borrowing rates for the subordinated notes are based on cash distributions during the period, if any.
Debt obligations of consolidated CLOs are collateralized by assets held by each respective CLO vehicle and assets of one
CLO vehicle may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of another. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the consolidated
CLO assets was $34.3 billion. This collateral consisted of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investments, and Other Assets.
Global Atlantic's debt obligations consisted of the following:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||||

(1)Carrying value of debt as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, includes purchase accounting adjustments of $26.9 million and $34.1 million, respectively, net

Tender offer of Global Atlantic 4.70% Subordinated Debentures due 2051
On November 17, 2025, Global Atlantic (Fin) Company ("GA FinCo") commenced an at-par cash tender offer for its then
outstanding $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.70% subordinated debentures due 2051. Upon close of the tender
offer on November 21, 2025, Global Atlantic accepted $726 million aggregate principal amount of such debentured that had
been offered for purchase.
Issuance of Global Atlantic 7.25% Subordinated Debentures due 2056
On November 26, 2025, GA FinCo issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% fixed-to-fixed rate
subordinated debentures maturing on March 1, 2056. The subordinated debentures were issued pursuant to the
Subordinated Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2021, among GA FinCo, as issuer, Global Atlantic Limited (Delaware) (formerly
known as Global Atlantic Financial Limited, "GALD"), as guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as
supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 26, 2025.
The subordinated debentures will bear interest (i) from, and including, November 26, 2025 to, but not including, the
initial interest reset date of March 1, 2031 at an annual rate of 7.25% and (ii) from and including March 1, 2031, during each
interest reset period, at an annual rate equal to the five-year Treasury rate as of the most recent reset interest determination
date, plus 3.55% provided, that the interest rate during any interest reset period will not reset below 7.25% (which equals the
initial interest rate on the Debentures). Interest on the subordinated debentures is payable semi-annually in arrears on March
1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2026, and on the maturity date.
GA FinCo has the right on one or more occasions to defer the payment of interest on the subordinated debentures due
2056 for up to five consecutive years. During an optional deferral period, interest will continue to accrue at the interest rate
on the subordinated debentures due 2056, compounded semi-annually as of each interest payment date, and certain
restrictions are placed on GA FinCo and GALD including with respect to making payments on any indebtedness or guarantees
ranking on parity with or junior to the subordinated indentures.
GA FinCo may elect to redeem the subordinated debentures due 2056 either in whole at any time or in part from time to
time during the three-month period prior to, and including, March 1, 2031, or after the initial interest reset date, on any
interest payment date, in each case at 100% of the principal amount of the subordinated debentures being redeemed, plus
accrued and unpaid interest (including compounded interest, if any) to, but excluding, the redemption date. GA FinCo also has
certain redemption rights related to tax, rating agency and capital events.
Global Atlantic Insurance Operating Company Revolving Credit Facility
On January 16, 2026, subsequent to the end of the period, Global Atlantic Limited (Delaware) and GA FinCo (together, the
“GA Guarantors”) and certain direct and indirect insurance company subsidiaries of the Guarantors (such insurance company
subsidiaries, the “GA OpCo Borrowers”, and together with the Guarantors, the “GA OpCo Credit Parties”) entered into a credit
agreement (the “GA OpCo Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “GA Administrative
Agent”) and other lenders from time to time party thereto.
The GA OpCo Credit Agreement provides the GA OpCo Borrowers with an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “GA
OpCo Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $3.00 billion as of January 16, 2026, with the option to request an
increase in the facility amount of up to an additional $500 million, for an aggregate principal amount of $3.50 billion, subject
to certain conditions, including obtaining new or increased commitments from new or existing lenders. The GA OpCo Credit
Facility is a 364-day facility, scheduled to mature on January 15, 2027, which may from time to time be extended for
additional 364-day periods at the GA OpCo Borrowers’ option, subject to the consent of the applicable lenders, and the GA
OpCo Borrowers may prepay, terminate or reduce the commitments under the GA OpCo Credit Facility at any time without
penalty. Borrowings under the GA OpCo Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes including working capital.
Interest on borrowings under the GA OpCo Credit Facility will be based on either (i) the term Secured Overnight Financing
Rate (SOFR), plus a margin based on a corporate ratings-based grid ranging from 1.10% to 1.375%, or (ii) an alternate base
rate, plus a margin based on a corporate ratings-based grid ranging from 0.10% to 0.375%.
Certain other terms of the GA OpCo Credit Agreement include: (i) financial covenants that require GALD and certain of its
consolidated subsidiaries not to exceed a specified debt-to-total-capitalization ratio and to satisfy a net worth threshold; (ii)
customary representations, affirmative covenants and certain negative covenants; and (iii) customary events of default, upon
the occurrence of which the lenders will have the ability to accelerate all outstanding loans under the GA OpCo Credit Facility
and terminate the commitments.
Debt Covenants
Borrowings of KKR (including Global Atlantic) contain various debt covenants. These covenants do not, in management's
opinion, materially restrict KKR's operating business or investment strategies as of December 31, 2025. KKR (including Global
Atlantic) was in compliance with such debt covenants in all material respects as of December 31, 2025.

Significant Inputs, Judgments, and Assumptions used in Measuring Future Policyholder Benefits
Significant policyholder behavior and other assumption inputs to the calculation of the liability for future policy benefits
include discount rates, mortality and, for life insurance, lapse rates. Global Atlantic reviews its assumptions at least annually,
and more frequently if necessary. Accordingly, as part of the annual assumption review conducted during the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024, assumptions were revised for an increase in expected mortality on certain payout annuities and
pension risk transfer products, which resulted in a $97.4 million and $28.4 million increase, respectively, to net income before
taxes.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Global Atlantic recognized $(437.1) million and $238.1 million in other
comprehensive income (loss) (gross of the impact of reinsurance), respectively, due to changes in the future policy benefits
estimate from updating discount rates. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no changes to the
methods used to determine the discount rates.
Additional Liability for Annuitization, Death, or Other Insurance Benefits

The additional liability for annuitization, death, or other insurance benefits relates primarily to secondary guarantees on
certain interest-sensitive life products, and preneed insurance.
The following reflects the amount of gross assessments recognized for the additional liability for annuitization, death, or
other insurance benefits in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and

Significant Inputs, Judgments, and Assumptions used in Measuring the Additional Liabilities for Annuitization, Death, or Other
Insurance Benefits
Significant policyholder behavior assumption inputs to the calculation of the additional liability for annuitization, death,
or other insurance benefits include mortality, lapse rates, investment yields and interest margin. Global Atlantic reviews its
assumptions at least annually, and more frequently if necessary. Accordingly, as part of the annual assumption review
conducted during the year ended December 31, 2025, assumptions for higher mortality, lapse rates, and investment yields
were updated, which resulted in a $4.5 million increase to net income before taxes. During the year ended December 31,
2024, assumptions for lapse rates, investment yields, and interest margin were updated, which resulted in a $16.4 million
decrease to net income before taxes.

Significant Inputs, Judgments, and Assumptions Used in Measuring Market Risk Benefits
Significant policyholder behavior and other assumption inputs to the calculation of the market risk benefits include
interest rates, instrument-specific credit risk, mortality rates, surrender rates, and utilization rates. Global Atlantic reviews its
assumptions at least annually, and more frequently if necessary. Accordingly, as part of the annual assumption review
conducted during the year ended December 31, 2025, assumptions were updated for higher expected morbidity for certain
long-term care related benefit riders, offset in part by an increase in expected fixed-indexed annuity activations, which
resulted in a $6.0 million decrease to net income before taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2024, assumptions for
fixed-indexed annuities mortality, surrenders, and utilization, and variable annuity activations were updated, which resulted
in a $128.7 million increase to net income before taxes.
Separate Account Liabilities
Separate account assets and liabilities consist of investment accounts established and maintained by Global Atlantic for
certain variable annuity and interest-sensitive life insurance contracts. Some of these contracts include minimum guarantees
such as GMDBs and GMWBs that guarantee a minimum payment to the policyholder.
The assets that support these variable annuity and interest-sensitive life insurance contracts are measured at fair value
and are reported as separate account assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. An equivalent amount is
reported as separate account liabilities. Market risk benefit assets and liabilities for minimum guarantees are valued and
presented separately from separate account assets and separate account liabilities. For more information on market risk
benefits see “—Market risk benefits” in this footnote. Policy charges assessed against the policyholders for mortality,
administration and other services are included in “Policy fees” in the consolidated statements of operations.

(1)In connection with exchanges of KKR Holdings equity into common stock of KKR & Co. Inc., KKR records a deferred tax asset associated with an increase in
KKR & Co. Inc.'s share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of KKR Group Partnership. This amount is offset by an adjustment to record
amounts due to KKR Holdings and principals under the tax receivable agreement, which is included within Due to Affiliates in the consolidated statements
of financial condition. The net impact of these adjustments was recorded as an adjustment to equity at the time of the exchanges.

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income
will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2025, a valuation allowance of
$24.1 million has been recorded against certain state deferred tax assets primarily due to tax credit carryforwards that are
expected to expire unutilized.
In 2022, changes in market conditions, including rapidly rising interest rates, impacted the unrealized tax gains and losses
in the available for sale securities portfolios of Global Atlantic, resulting in deferred tax assets related to net unrealized tax
capital losses for which the carryforward period has not yet begun. As such, when assessing recoverability, Global Atlantic
considered our ability and intent to hold the underlying securities to recovery. Based on all available evidence, Global Atlantic
concluded that a valuation allowance should be established on a portion of the US deferred tax assets related to unrealized
tax capital losses that are not more-likely-than-not to be realized, which represents the portion of the portfolio Global Atlantic
estimates it would not be able to hold to recovery. In 2024, Global Atlantic concluded that it had the ability to utilize realized
capital loss carryforwards prior to their expiration, and to recover its unrealized losses in the available for sale securities
portfolio. As a result, Global Atlantic concluded that it was more likely than not that the related US deferred tax assets would
be wholly realizable, and consequently released the previously recorded valuation allowance recorded against its deferred
income tax assets. Therefore, the valuation allowance of $89 million was released through the income tax expense line of the
statement of operations as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, there is no valuation allowance on realized or
unrealized capital losses, as management concluded that realization is more likely than not. Certain Global Atlantic in scope
entities have a full valuation allowance of $4.6 million on its net deferred tax assets, as realization is not more likely than not.
On December 27, 2023, the Government of Bermuda enacted the Bermuda Corporate Income Tax ("Bermuda CIT").
Commencing on January 1, 2025, the Bermuda CIT generally will impose a 15% corporate income tax on in-scope entities that
are residents in Bermuda or have a Bermuda permanent establishment. On January 2, 2024, Global Atlantic became subject to
Bermuda CIT and resulted in the establishment of a $22.1 million deferred tax asset, primarily on available-for-sale securities,
which was offset by a full valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2025, deferred tax assets associated with Bermuda CIT on
Global Atlantic and certain in-scope entities was $38.1 million. Global Atlantic does not believe those deferred tax assets will
more likely than not be realized and therefore maintains a full valuation allowance.
As of December 31, 2025, KKR has state tax credit carryforwards of $24.1 million that will begin to expire in 2031. As of
December 31, 2025, the Global Atlantic and certain in-scope entities have U.S. federal net operating loss ("NOL")
carryforwards totaling $3.3 billion; $56.3 million will begin to expire in 2034 and the remainder has an indefinite life. Global
Atlantic also has capital loss carryforwards of $1.8 billion which will begin to expire in 2027.
As of December 31, 2025, KKR has accumulated undistributed earnings generated by certain foreign subsidiaries for
which we have not recorded any deferred taxes with respect to outside U.S. federal income tax basis difference on these
subsidiaries because of our ability and intent to reinvest such earnings indefinitely unless they can be distributed tax free. KKR
will continue to evaluate its capital management plans. It is not practicable for us to determine the amount of unrecognized
deferred income tax liability due to the complexity associated with the hypothetical calculation.
On December 20, 2021, the OECD released Pillar Two Model Rules, which contemplate a global 15% minimum tax rate. In
January 2026, the OECD released a “side-by-side” administrative guidance package under Pillar Two, agreed to by 145
jurisdictions, which introduces simplification measures and additional safe harbors intended to reduce compliance burdens
and further align the global minimum tax framework. The package includes a simplified effective tax rate safe harbor,
extensions of transitional relief, a new substance-based tax incentive safe harbor, and a side-by-side system for reporting in
various countries in which we do business. For the year ended December 31, 2025, KKR concluded there was no material
impact on income taxes with respect to Pillar Two. KKR will continue to evaluate the potential future impacts of Pillar Two and
will continue to review the issuance of this guidance.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash payments of income taxes, net of refunds, were as follows:
| For the Year Ended | |
| December 31, 2025 | |
| Federal | $841,229 |
| State | 155,596 |
| Foreign | |
| United Kingdom | 105,296 |
| Other | 107,095 |
| Total Payments, net of refunds | $1,209,216 |
Tax Contingencies
KKR files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of
business, KKR is subject to examination by U.S. federal and certain state, local and foreign tax regulators. As of December 31,
2025, tax returns of KKR and its predecessor entities are no longer subject to examinations for years before 2018 for U.S.
federal tax returns and 2014 for state and local tax returns under general statute of limitations provisions.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, KKR's unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax
positions, excluding related interest and penalties, consisted of the following:
| For the Years Ended December 31, | |||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |||
| Unrecognized Tax Benefits, beginning of period | $32,830 | $16,476 | $41,008 | ||
| Gross increases in tax positions in prior periods | — | 10,677 | — | ||
| Gross decreases in tax positions in prior periods | (577) | — | (13,878) | ||
| Gross increases in tax positions in current period | 7,362 | 5,927 | 935 | ||
| Lapse of statute of limitations | — | (250) | (219) | ||
| Settlements with taxing authorities | (7,027) | — | (11,370) | ||
| Unrecognized Tax Benefits, end of period | $32,588 | $32,830 | $16,476 |
If the above tax benefits were recognized, the effective income tax rate would be reduced. KKR recognizes interest and
penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits, KKR
had a net increase of accrued penalties of $0.3 million and interest of $1.6 million during 2025 and in total, as of December
31, 2025, recognized a liability for penalties of $2.6 million and interest of $8.5 million. During 2024, penalties increased by
$0.4 million and interest increased by $1.8 million and in total, as of December 31, 2024, recognized a liability for penalties of
$2.3 million and interest of $6.9 million. During 2023, penalties decreased by $1.3 million and interest decreased by
$6.7 million and in total, as of December 31, 2023, recognized a liability for penalties of $2.0 million and interest of
$5.1 million.

(1)For the year ended December 31, 2025, KKR recorded acquisition-related stock consideration of $5.1 million.
KKR Equity Incentive Awards
Under KKR's equity incentive plan, KKR is permitted to grant equity awards representing ownership interests in
KKR & Co. Inc. common stock. On March 29, 2019, the Amended and Restated KKR & Co. Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"2019 Equity Incentive Plan") became effective. Following the effectiveness of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, KKR no longer
makes further grants under the Amended and Restated KKR & Co. Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, and the 2019 Equity
Incentive Plan became KKR's only plan for providing new equity awards by KKR & Co. Inc. The total number of equity awards
representing shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan is equivalent to 15% of the
aggregate number of the shares of common stock and KKR Group Partnership Units (excluding KKR Group Partnership Units
held by KKR & Co. Inc. or its wholly-owned subsidiaries), subject to annual adjustment. As of December 31, 2025, 53,140,914
shares may be issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. KKR has also issued equity grants in the form of restricted
holdings units through KKR Holdings III L.P. ("KKR Holdings III"), which are not issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and
are currently held by certain current and former KKR employees. Equity awards granted generally consist of (i) restricted stock
units that convert into shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. (or cash equivalent) upon vesting and (ii) restricted holdings
units that are exchangeable into shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. upon vesting and certain other conditions,
including those described below.
Service-Vesting Awards
KKR grants restricted stock units and restricted holdings units that are subject to service-based vesting, typically over a
three to five-year period from the date of grant (referred to hereafter as "Service-Vesting Awards"). In certain cases, these
Service-Vesting Awards may have a percentage of the award that vests immediately upon grant, and certain Service-Vesting
Awards may have vesting periods longer than five years. Additionally, some but not all Service-Vesting Awards are subject to
transfer restrictions and/or minimum retained ownership requirements. Generally, the transfer restriction period, if
applicable, lasts for (i) one year with respect to one-half of the awards vesting on any vesting date and (ii) two years with
respect to the other one-half of the awards vesting on such vesting date. While providing services to KKR, some but not all of
these awards are also subject to minimum retained ownership rules requiring the award recipient to continuously hold shares
of common stock equivalents equal to at least 15% of their cumulatively vested awards that have or had the minimum
retained ownership requirement. Holders of the Service-Vesting Awards do not participate in dividends until such awards
have met their vesting requirements.
Expense associated with the vesting of these Service-Vesting Awards is based on the closing price of KKR & Co. Inc.
common stock on the date of grant, discounted for the lack of participation rights in the expected dividends on unvested
equity awards. Expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the award and assumes a forfeiture rate of up to
7% annually based upon expected turnover by class of recipient.
As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $775 million of total estimated unrecognized expense related to
unvested Service-Vesting Awards, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite service
period of 2.4 years.
A summary of the status of unvested Service-Vesting Awards from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 is
presented below:
| Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | ||
| Balance, January 1, 2025 | 21,105,890 | $64.65 | |
| Granted | 2,413,187 | 112.30 | |
| Vested | (6,396,381) | 59.60 | |
| Forfeitures | (978,911) | 73.31 | |
| Balance, December 31, 2025 | 16,143,785 | $73.25 |
Market Condition Awards
KKR also grants restricted stock units and restricted holdings units that are subject to both a service-based vesting
condition and a market price based vesting condition. The following is a discussion of the Market Condition Awards, excluding
the Co-CEO Awards (as defined and discussed below).
The number of Market Condition Awards (other than the Co-CEO awards) that will vest depend upon (i) the market price
of KKR common stock reaching certain price targets that range from $45.00 to $140.00 and (ii) the employee being employed
by KKR on a certain date, which typically ranges from five to six years from the date of grant (with exceptions for involuntary
termination without cause, death and permanent disability). The market price vesting condition is met when the average
closing price of KKR common stock during 20 consecutive trading days meets or exceeds the stock price targets. Holders of the
Market Condition Awards do not participate in dividends until such awards have met both their service-based and market
price based vesting requirements. Additionally, these awards are subject to additional transfer restrictions and minimum
retained ownership requirements after vesting.
Due to the existence of the service requirement, the vesting period for these Market Condition Awards (other than the
Co-CEO awards) is explicit, and as such, compensation expense will be recognized on (i) a straight-line basis over the period
from the date of grant through the date the award recipient is required to be employed by KKR and (ii) assumes a forfeiture
rate of up to 7% annually based upon expected turnover. The fair value of the awards granted are based on a Monte Carlo
simulation valuation model. In addition, the grant date fair value assumes that holders of the Market Condition Awards will
not participate in dividends until such awards have met all of their vesting requirements.
Below is a summary of the grant date fair value based on the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model and the significant
assumptions used to estimate the grant date fair value of these Market Condition Awards:
| Weighted Average | Range | ||
| Grant Date Fair Value | $30.62 | $19.87 - $79.94 | |
| Closing KKR share price as of valuation date | $51.74 | $37.93 - $98.62 | |
| Risk Free Rate | 2.21% | 0.41% - 4.41% | |
| Volatility | 30.04% | 28.00% - 38.00% | |
| Dividend Yield | 1.27% | 0.71% - 1.53% | |
| Expected Cost of Equity | 10.74% | 9.13% - 11.80% |
As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $358 million of total estimated unrecognized expense related to these
unvested Market Condition Awards, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite
service period of 1.6 years.
A summary of the status of unvested Market Condition Awards from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 is
presented below:
| Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | ||
| Balance, January 1, 2025 | 38,019,023 | $31.33 | |
| Granted | — | — | |
| Vested | (65,467) | 44.84 | |
| Forfeitures | (628,295) | 46.26 | |
| Balance, December 31, 2025 | 37,325,261 | $31.05 |
As of December 31, 2025, all of the Market Condition awards have met their market price based vesting condition. These
Market Condition awards remain unvested until their service conditions (as described above) are satisfied.
Co-CEO Awards
On December 9, 2021, the Board of Directors approved grants of 7.5 million restricted holdings units to each of KKR’s Co-
Chief Executive Officers that are subject to both a service-based vesting condition and a market price based vesting condition
(referred to hereafter as "Co-CEOs Awards"). For both Co-Chief Executive Officers, 20% of the Co-CEOs Awards are eligible to
vest at each of the following KKR common stock prices targets: $95.80, $105.80, $115.80, $125.80 and $135.80. The market
price based vesting condition is met when the average closing price of KKR common stock during 20 consecutive trading days
meets or exceeds the stock price targets. In addition to the market price based vesting conditions, in order for the award to
vest, the Co-Chief Executive Officer is required to be employed by KKR on December 31, 2026 (with exceptions for involuntary
termination without cause, death and permanent disability).
These awards will be automatically canceled and forfeited upon the earlier of a Co-Chief Executive Officer’s termination
of service (except for involuntary termination without cause, death or permanent disability) or the failure to meet the market
price based vesting condition by December 31, 2028 (for which continued service is required if the market price vesting
condition is met after December 31, 2026). Co-CEO Awards do not participate in dividends until such awards have met both
their service-based and market price based vesting requirements. Additionally, these awards are subject to additional transfer
restrictions and minimum retained ownership requirements after vesting.
Due to the existence of the service requirement, the vesting period for these Co-CEO Awards is explicit, and as such,
compensation expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the period from the date of grant through December
31, 2026 given the derived service period is less than the explicit service period. The fair value of the awards granted are
based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. In addition, the grant date fair value assumes that these Co-CEO Awards
will not participate in dividends until such awards have met all of their vesting requirements.
Below is a summary of the grant date fair value based on the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model and the significant
assumptions used to estimate the grant date fair value of these Co-CEO Awards:
| Grant Date Fair Value | $48.91 |
| Closing KKR share price as of valuation date | $75.76 |
| Risk Free Rate | 1.42% |
| Volatility | 28.0% |
| Dividend Yield | 0.77% |
| Expected Cost of Equity | 9.36% |
As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $145 million of total estimated unrecognized expense related to these
unvested Co-CEO Awards, which is expected to be recognized ratably from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026. As of
December 31, 2025, all Co-CEO Awards have met their market price based vesting condition. The Co-CEO Awards remain
unvested until their service conditions (as described above) are satisfied.

Tax Receivable Agreement
KKR Group Co. Inc. (formerly KKR & Co. Inc.) and KKR Holdings were parties to a tax receivable agreement, which required
KKR to pay to KKR Holdings or to its limited partners a portion of any cash tax savings realized by KKR resulting from their
exchange of KKR Group Partnership Units for shares of common stock. In connection with the Reorganization Mergers, KKR
Holdings and KKR terminated the tax receivable agreement on May 30, 2022; provided that, notwithstanding such
termination of the tax receivable agreement, all obligations of KKR to make payments arising under the tax receivable
agreement with respect to any exchanges completed prior to May 30, 2022 remain outstanding until fully paid.
Prior to the Reorganization Mergers, KKR was required to acquire KKR Group Partnership Units from time to time
pursuant to the exchange agreement with KKR Holdings. The KKR Group Partnership made an election under Section 754 of
the Code that was effective for each taxable year in which an exchange of KKR Group Partnership Units for shares of common
stock occurred, which may have resulted in an increase in KKR's tax basis of the assets of KKR Group Partnership at the time of
an exchange of KKR Group Partnership Units. Certain of these exchanges were expected to result in an increase in KKR's share
of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of the KKR Group Partnership, primarily attributable to a portion of the
goodwill inherent in KKR's business that would not otherwise have been available. This increase in tax basis may have
increased depreciation and amortization deductions for tax purposes and therefore reduced the amount of income tax KKR
otherwise would be required to pay. This increase in tax basis may have also decreased gain (or increased loss) on future
dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
The tax receivable agreement required KKR to pay to KKR Holdings, or to current and former principals who exchanged
KKR Holdings equity for shares of common stock (as transferees of KKR Group Partnership Units), 85% of the amount of cash
savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that KKR realized as a result of the increase in tax basis described
above, as well as 85% of the amount of any such savings KKR actually realized as a result of increases in tax basis that arose
due to future payments under the agreement. KKR benefited from the remaining 15% of cash savings, if any, in income tax
that it realized.
These payment obligations are obligations of KKR Group Co. Inc. (formerly KKR & Co. Inc.) and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, KKR Group Holdings Corp., which are treated as corporations for U.S. tax purposes, but are not payment
obligations of KKR & Co. Inc. or KKR Group Partnership L.P., and are recorded within Due to Affiliates in the accompanying
consolidated statements of financial condition. Payments made under the tax receivable agreement are required to be made
within 90 days of the filing of KKR's tax returns, which may result in a timing difference between the tax savings received by
KKR and the cash payments made to the exchanging holders of KKR Group Partnership Units.
Effective July 1, 2018, we amended the tax receivable agreement to reflect the conversion of KKR & Co. L.P. to KKR Group
Co. Inc. (formerly KKR & Co. Inc.) on July 1, 2018 (the "Conversion"). The amendment also provides that, in the event the
maximum U.S. federal corporate income tax rate is increased to a rate higher than 21.0% within the five- year period
following the Conversion, for exchanges pursuant to the exchange agreement that take place within that five-year period
(other than exchanges following the death of an individual), payments of cash tax savings realized as a result of such
exchanges shall be calculated by applying a U.S. federal corporate income tax rate not to exceed 21.0%. The amendment also
clarified that the tax benefit payments with respect to exchanges completed at any time prior to the Conversion will be
calculated without taking into account the step-up in tax basis in our underlying assets that we generated in 2018 as a result
of the Conversion.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, cash payments that have been made under the tax receivable
agreement were $25.5 million, $27.2 million, and $16.3 million, respectively. KKR expects to benefit from the remaining 15%
of cash savings, if any, in income tax that they realize. As of December 31, 2025, $22.8 million of cumulative income tax
savings have been realized.
Discretionary Investments
Certain of KKR's current and former employees and other qualifying personnel are permitted to invest, and have invested,
their own capital in KKR's funds, in side-by-side investments with these funds and the firm, as well as in funds managed by its
hedge fund partnerships. Side-by-side investments are made on the same terms and conditions as those acquired by the
applicable fund or the firm, except that the side-by-side investments do not subject the investor to management fees or a
carried interest. The cash contributed by these individuals aggregated $611.9 million, $863.8 million, and $629.0 million for
the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Aircraft and Other Services
Certain of our senior employees own aircraft that are used for KKR's business in the ordinary course of its operations. The
hourly rates that KKR pays for the use of these aircraft are based on current market rates for chartering private aircraft of the
same type. KKR incurred $5.8 million, $6.2 million, and $3.4 million for the use of these aircraft for the years ended December
31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, of which substantially all was paid to entities controlled by Messrs. Kravis, Roberts and
Nuttall, and of which substantially all was borne by KKR rather than its investment funds (which indirectly bear the cost of
some of these flights at commercial airline rates).
Facilities
Messrs. Kravis and Roberts, including their estate planning trusts, whose beneficiaries include their children, and certain
other senior employees who are not executive officers of KKR, are minority limited partners in a real estate partnership that
owns KKR's Menlo Park location. Payments made to this partnership were $7.1 million, $7.7 million, and $9.5 million for the
years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. In November 2022, this lease was renewed for another 15-
year term.
21. SEGMENT REPORTING
KKR operates through three reportable segments which are presented below and reflect how its chief operating decision-
makers, who are the Co-Chief Executive Officers, allocate resources and assess performance:
- Asset Management - The asset management business offers a broad range of investment management services to
investment funds, vehicles and accounts (including Global Atlantic and the Strategic Holdings segment) and provides
capital markets services to portfolio companies and third parties. This reportable segment also reflects how its
business lines operate collaboratively with predominantly a single expense pool.
- Insurance - The insurance business is operated by Global Atlantic, which is a leading U.S. retirement and life
insurance company that provides a broad suite of protection, legacy and savings products and reinsurance solutions
to clients across individual and institutional markets. Global Atlantic primarily generates income by earning a spread
between its investment income and the cost of policyholder benefits.
- Strategic Holdings - The strategic holdings business acquires and manages interests in operating companies that are
owned by KKR. This segment primarily generates income from dividends from these businesses. Dividends are
presented net of management fees paid to the Asset Management segment. If KKR were to sell a portion or all of a
business reported in Strategic Holdings, the realized gain or loss would be presented as realized investment income,
net of a performance fee paid to the Asset Management segment.
KKR’s segment profitability measures used to make operating decisions and assess performance across KKR’s reportable
segments is presented prior to giving effect to the allocation of income (loss) among KKR & Co. Inc. and holders of any
exchangeable securities, and the consolidation of the investment funds, vehicles and accounts that KKR advises, manages or
sponsors (including CFEs). For each segment, the chief operating decision makers use the key measure of segment earnings to
allocate resources to that segment in the annual budget and forecasting process. KKR's segment profitability measures
excludes: (i) equity-based compensation charges, (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles, and (iii) transaction-related and
non-operating items, if any. Transaction-related and non-operating items arise from corporate actions, which consist of: (i)
impairments, (ii) transaction costs from acquisitions, including any acquisition-related stock consideration, (iii) depreciation on
real estate that KKR owns and occupies, (iv) contingent liabilities, net of any recoveries, (v) certain integration, restructuring,
and other non-operating expenses, and (vi) other gains or charges that affect period-to-period comparability and are not
reflective of KKR's ongoing operational performance.
Inter-segment transactions are not eliminated from segment results when management considers those transactions in
assessing the results of the respective segments. These transactions include (i) management fees earned by the Asset
Management segment as the investment adviser for Global Atlantic insurance companies, (ii) management and performance
fees earned by the Asset Management segment from the Strategic Holdings segment, and (iii) interest income and expense
based on lending arrangements where the Asset Management segment borrows from the Insurance segment. All these inter-
segment transactions are recorded by each segment based on the applicable governing agreements. Additionally, due to the
integrated nature of our segment operations and as part of our strategic capital allocation decisions, inter-segment asset
transfers have and may continue to occur. In these cases in segment reporting, the assets are transferred at their fair value,
and no gain or loss is recognized at the time of transfer. Earnings are recognized upon realization events and transactions with
third parties. Total Segment Earnings represents the total segment earnings of KKR’s Asset Management, Insurance, and
Strategic Holdings segments:
- Asset Management Segment Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to
assess the performance of the Asset Management segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is
comprised of: (i) Fee Related Earnings, (ii) Realized Performance Income, (iii) Realized Performance Income
Compensation, (iv) Realized Investment Income, and (v) Realized Investment Income Compensation. Asset
Management Segment Earnings excludes the impact of: (i) unrealized gains (losses) on investments, (ii) unrealized
carried interest, and (iii) unrealized carried interest compensation. Management fees earned by KKR as the adviser,
manager or sponsor for its investment funds, vehicles and accounts, including its Global Atlantic insurance companies
and Strategic Holdings segment, are included in Asset Management Segment Earnings.
- Insurance Operating Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to assess
the performance of the Insurance segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is comprised of: (i)
Net Investment Income, (ii) Net Cost of Insurance, and (iii) General, Administrative, and Other Expenses. Insurance
Operating Earnings excludes the impact of: (i) investment gains (losses) which include realized gains (losses) related
to asset/liability matching investment strategies and unrealized investment gains (losses) and (ii) non-operating
changes in policy liabilities and derivatives which includes (a) changes in the fair value of market risk benefits and
other policy liabilities measured at fair value and related benefit payments, (b) fees attributed to guaranteed
benefits, (c) derivatives used to manage the risks associated with policy liabilities, and (d) losses at contract issuance
on payout annuities. Insurance Operating Earnings includes (i) realized gains and losses not related to asset/liability
matching investment strategies and (ii) the investment management costs that are earned by our Asset Management
segment as the investment adviser of the Global Atlantic insurance companies.
- Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to
assess the performance of the Strategic Holdings segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is
comprised of: Dividends, Net and Net Realized Investment Income. Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings excludes the
impact of unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings includes management fees
and performance fee expenses that are earned by the Asset Management segment.
KKR disclosed all the segment expenses under the significant expense principle for each reportable segment. There are no
expenses to be disclosed in the other segment category, because segment revenues minus segment expenses equals the
segment measure of profit of each reportable segment.

22. EQUITY
Stockholders' Equity
Common Stock
The common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. is entitled to vote as provided by its certificate of incorporation, Delaware General
Corporation Law and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Subject to preferences that apply to any shares of
preferred stock outstanding at the time on which dividends are payable, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive
dividends out of funds legally available if the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines to declare dividends and then
only at the times and in the amounts that the Board of Directors may determine. The common stock is not entitled to
preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.
Series I Preferred Stock
Except for any distribution required by Delaware law to be made upon a dissolution event, the holders of Series I
preferred stock do not have any economic rights to receive dividends. Series I preferred stock is entitled to vote on various
matters that may be submitted to vote of the stockholders and the other matters as set forth in the certificate of
incorporation. Upon a dissolution event, each holder of Series I preferred stock will be entitled to a payment equal to $0.01
per share of Series I preferred stock. The Series I preferred stock will be eliminated on the Sunset Date (as defined in Note 1
"Organization"), which is scheduled to occur not later than December 31, 2026.
Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
On March 7, 2025, KKR & Co. Inc. issued 51,750,000 shares, or $2.59 billion aggregate liquidation preference, of Series D
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.
Subject to certain exceptions, so long as any share of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock remains
outstanding, no dividend or distributions will be declared or paid on shares of KKR & Co. Inc.’s common stock, par value $0.01
per share, or any other class or series of stock ranking junior to the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and no
common stock or any other class or series of stock ranking junior to the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will
be purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired for consideration by KKR & Co. Inc. or any of its subsidiaries unless, in each
case, all accumulated and unpaid dividends for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid in cash, shares of
common stock or a combination thereof, or a sufficient sum of cash or number of shares of common stock has been set aside
for the payment of such dividends, on all outstanding shares of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition,
when dividends on shares of the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (i) have not been declared and paid in full on
any dividend payment date (or, in the case of any parity stock having dividend payment dates different from such dividend
payment dates on a dividend payment date falling within a regular dividend period related to such dividend payment date), or
(ii) have been declared but a sum of cash or number of shares of Common Stock sufficient for payment thereof has not been
set aside for the benefit of the holders thereof on the applicable regular record date, no dividends may be declared or paid on
any parity stock unless dividends are declared on the shares of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock such that the
respective amounts of such dividends declared on the shares of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and such
shares of parity stock shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the shares of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred
Stock and the holders of any shares of parity stock then outstanding.
Unless converted earlier, each share of the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert on
the mandatory conversion date, which is expected to be March 1, 2028, into between 0.3312 shares and 0.4140 shares of
common stock, in each case, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments described in the certificate of designations
setting forth the terms of the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The number of shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion will be determined based on the average volume weighted average price per share of common
stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately
prior to March 1, 2028.
Dividends on the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if
declared by KKR & Co. Inc.’s board of directors, or an authorized committee thereof (which will be influenced by receipt of
distributions from KKR Group Partnership in respect of our Series D mirrored preferred units that we hold in KKR Group
Partnership) at an annual rate of 6.25% on the liquidation preference of $50.00 per share of Series D Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock, and may be paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of common stock or, subject to certain
limitations, any combination of cash and shares of common stock.
If declared, dividends on the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on March 1, June
1, September 1 and December 1 of each year to, and including, March 1, 2028, commencing on June 1, 2025.
Upon KKR & Co. Inc.’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, each holder of the Series D
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidation preference in the amount of $50.00 per share
of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends on such
shares, whether or not declared, to, but excluding, the date fixed for liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, such amount to be
paid out of KKR & Co. Inc.’s assets legally available for distribution to its stockholders after satisfaction of debt and other
liabilities owed to KKR & Co. Inc.’s creditors and holders of shares of its stock ranking senior to the Series D Mandatory
Convertible Preferred Stock and before any payment or distribution is made to holders of any stock ranking junior to the
Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, Common Stock.
Share Repurchase Program
Under KKR's repurchase program, shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. may be repurchased from time to time in
open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing, manner, price and amount of any
repurchases will be determined by KKR in its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements,
price and economic and market conditions. In addition to the repurchases of common stock, the repurchase program will be
used for the retirement (by cash settlement or the payment of tax withholding amounts upon net settlement) of equity
awards granted pursuant to our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan representing the right to receive common stock. KKR expects that
the program will be in effect until the maximum approved dollar amount has been used. The program does not require KKR to
repurchase or retire any specific number of shares of common stock or equity awards, respectively, and the program may be
suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. In April 2024, the share repurchase program was amended such
that when the remaining available amount under the share repurchase program becomes $50 million or less, the total
available amount under the share repurchase program will automatically add an additional $500 million to the then remaining
available amount of $50 million or less (the “Share Repurchase Program Increase Threshold”). The Share Repurchase Program
Increase Threshold was reached during the second quarter of 2025, which automatically added an additional $500 million to
the then remaining available amount. As of January 30, 2026, there was approximately $439 million remaining under the
program. Any additional increases to this remaining available amount would require a separate approval by the Board of
Directors of KKR & Co. Inc. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date.
The following table presents the shares of KKR & Co. Inc. common stock that have been repurchased or equity awards
retired under the repurchase program:

Change in KKR & Co. Inc.'s Ownership Interest
Vesting of restricted holdings units results in a change in ownership in KKR Group Partnership, while KKR retains a
controlling interest, and is accounted for as an equity transaction between the controlling and noncontrolling interests.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities represent the non-redeemable ownership interests in KKR that are held
primarily by:
(i)third party fund investors in KKR's consolidated funds and certain other entities;
(ii)third parties in KKR's Capital Markets business line;
(iii)certain current and former employees who hold exchangeable securities; and

vehicles that are subject to periodic redemption by fund investors following the expiration of a specified period of time, or
may be withdrawn subject to a redemption fee during the period when capital may not be otherwise withdrawn.
Consolidated fund investor's interests subject to redemption as described above are presented as Redeemable Noncontrolling
Interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition and presented as Net Income (Loss) Attributable
to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. When redeemable
amounts become legally payable to fund investors, they are classified as a liability and included in Accounts Payable, Accrued
Expenses, and Other Liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.

24. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Funding Commitments and Others
As of December 31, 2025, KKR had unfunded commitments consisting of $10.5 billion to its investment funds and
vehicles. These unfunded commitments also include funding requirements to levered investment vehicles and structured
transactions to fund or otherwise be liable for a portion of the vehicle's investment losses and/or to provide the vehicle with
liquidity upon certain termination events.
In addition to these uncalled commitments and funding obligations to KKR's investment funds and vehicles, KKR has
entered into contractual commitments primarily with respect to underwriting transactions, debt financing, revolving credit
facilities, and syndications in KKR's Capital Markets business line. As of December 31, 2025, these capital markets
commitments amounted to $1.0 billion. Whether these amounts are actually funded, in whole or in part, depends on the
contractual terms of such capital markets commitments, including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions to closing or
funding. KKR's capital markets business has arrangements with third parties, which are expected to reduce KKR's risk under
certain circumstances when underwriting certain debt transactions. As a result, our unfunded capital markets commitments
as of December 31, 2025, have been reduced to reflect the amount expected to be funded by such third parties. As of
December 31, 2025, KKR's capital markets business line has entered into such arrangements representing a total notional
amount of $5.0 billion.
Global Atlantic has commitments to purchase or fund investments of $7.3 billion as of December 31, 2025. These
commitments include those related to mortgage loans, other lending facilities, and real assets. For those commitments that
represent a contractual obligation to extend credit, Global Atlantic has recorded a liability of $30.9 million for current
expected credit losses as of December 31, 2025.
In addition, Global Atlantic has entered into agreements to purchase loans. Global Atlantic's obligations under these
agreements are subject to change, curtailment, and cancellation based on various provisions including repricing mechanics,
due diligence reviews, and performance or pool quality, among other factors.
Global Atlantic has certain contingent funding obligations related to development-stage renewable energy projects in the
amount of $322.2 million as of December 31, 2025, with expiration dates occurring between March 2026 and September
- For accounting purposes, these contingent funding obligations are considered guarantees of the obligations of the
development-stage renewable energy projects.
As of December 31, 2025, purchase commitments under agreements with third-party administrators and other service
providers were as follows:
| 2026 | $27,825 | |
| 2027 | 17,625 | |
| 2028 | 12,266 | |
| 2029 | 10,450 | |
| 2030 | 9,291 | |
| Thereafter | 45,066 | |
| Total | $122,523 |
Non-cancelable Operating Leases
KKR's non-cancelable operating leases consist of leases of office space around the world. There are no material rent
holidays, contingent rent, rent concessions, or leasehold improvement incentives associated with any of these property
leases. In addition to base rentals, certain lease agreements are subject to escalation provisions and rent expense is
recognized on a straight‑line basis over the term of the lease agreement. Global Atlantic also enters into land leases for its
consolidated investments in renewable energy.
As of December 31, 2025, the approximate aggregate future lease payments required on the asset management
operating leases are as follows:
| 2026 | $82,539 | |
| 2027 | 77,698 | |
| 2028 | 76,768 | |
| 2029 | 74,355 | |
| 2030 | 68,109 | |
| Thereafter | 587,902 | |
| Total Lease Payments Required | 967,371 | |
| Less: Imputed Interest | 207,575 | |
| Total Operating Lease Liabilities | $759,796 |
As of December 31, 2025, the approximate aggregate future lease payments required on the Global Atlantic operating
leases are as follows:
| 2026 | $16,780 | |
| 2027 | 16,753 | |
| 2028 | 13,358 | |
| 2029 | 12,011 | |
| 2030 | 12,480 | |
| Thereafter | 284,337 | |
| Total Lease Payments Required | 355,719 | |
| Less: Imputed Interest | 180,040 | |
| Total Operating Lease Liabilities | $175,679 |
Contingent Repayment Guarantees
The partnership documents governing KKR's carry-paying investment funds and vehicles generally include a "clawback"
provision that, if triggered, may give rise to a contingent obligation requiring the general partner to return amounts to the
fund for distribution to the fund investors at the end of the life of the fund. Under a clawback obligation, upon the liquidation
of a fund, the general partner is required to return, typically on an after-tax basis, previously distributed carry to the extent
that, due to the diminished performance of later investments, the aggregate amount of carry distributions received by the
general partner during the term of the fund exceed the amount to which the general partner was ultimately entitled,
including the effects of any performance thresholds. KKR has guaranteed its general partners' clawback obligations.
As of December 31, 2025, approximately $150 million of carried interest was subject to this clawback obligation,
assuming that all applicable carry-paying investment funds were liquidated at their December 31, 2025 fair values. Although
KKR would be required to remit the entire amount to fund investors that are entitled to receive the clawback payment, KKR
would be entitled to seek reimbursement of approximately $65 million of that amount from Associates Holdings, which is not
a KKR subsidiary. As of December 31, 2025, Associates Holdings had access to cash reserves sufficient to reimburse the full
$65 million that would be due to KKR. If the investments in all carry-paying funds were to be liquidated at zero value, a
possibility that management views to be remote, the clawback obligation would have been approximately $5.8 billion as of
December 31, 2025. KKR will acquire control of Associates Holdings when a subsidiary of KKR becomes its general partner
upon the closing of the transactions contemplated to occur on the Sunset Date (as defined in Note 1 "Organization"), which
will occur not later than December 31, 2026.
Carried interest is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on the contractual conditions set forth
in the agreements governing the fund as if the fund were terminated and liquidated at the reporting date and the fund's
investments were realized at the then estimated fair values. Amounts earned pursuant to carried interest are earned by the
general partner of those funds to the extent that cumulative investment returns are positive and where applicable, preferred
return thresholds have been met. If these investment amounts earned decrease or turn negative in subsequent periods,
recognized carried interest will be reversed and to the extent that the aggregate amount of carry distributions received by the
general partner during the term of the fund exceed the amount to which the general partner was ultimately entitled, a
clawback obligation would be recorded. For funds that are consolidated, this clawback obligation, if any, is reflected as an
increase in noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of financial condition. For funds that are not consolidated,
this clawback obligation, if any, is reflected as a reduction of KKR's investment balance as this is where carried interest is
initially recorded.
Indemnifications and Other Guarantees
KKR may incur contingent liabilities for claims that may be made against it in the future. KKR enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations, warranties and covenants, including indemnifications. KKR (including KFN) and certain of
KKR's investment funds have provided and provide certain credit support, such as indemnities and guarantees, relating to a
variety of matters, including non-recourse carve-out guarantees for fraud, willful misconduct and other wrongful acts in
connection with the financing of (i) certain real estate investments that we have made, including KKR's corporate real estate,
and (ii) certain investment vehicles that KKR manages or sponsors.
KKR also has provided, and provides, credit support in connection with its businesses, including:
i.to certain of its subsidiaries' obligations in connection with a limited number of investment vehicles that KKR
manages,
ii.in connection with repayment and funding obligations to third-party lenders on behalf of certain employees,
excluding its executive officers, in connection with their personal investments in KKR investment funds and a
levered multi-asset investment vehicle,
iii.through a contingent guarantee of a subsidiary’s loan repayment obligations, which does not become effective
unless and until its loan becomes accelerated due to certain specified events of default involving the
investment vehicles managed by KJRM,
iv.the obligations of our subsidiaries' funding obligations to our investment vehicles, and
v.certain of our investment vehicles to fund or otherwise be liable for a portion of their investment losses and/or
to provide them with liquidity upon certain termination events.
In addition, KKR has agreed to tender to one of its consolidated investment vehicles up to a fixed number of shares that
KKR owns in it if the net asset value of such shares is less than an agreed upon value on June 1, 2027.
KKR may also become liable for certain fees payable to sellers of businesses or assets if a transaction does not close,
subject to certain conditions, if any, specified in the acquisition agreements for such businesses or assets.
In addition, the Global Atlantic business was formerly owned by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (together with its
subsidiaries, "Goldman Sachs"). In connection with the separation of Global Atlantic from Goldman Sachs in 2013, Global
Atlantic entered into a tax benefit payment agreement with Goldman Sachs. Under the tax benefit payment agreement,
Global Atlantic (Fin) Company ("GA FinCo"), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of TGAFG, the
holding company for the Global Atlantic business, is obligated to make annual payments out of available cash, guaranteed by
Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited, to Goldman Sachs over an approximately 25-year period. As of December 31, 2025,
the present value of the remaining amount to be paid is $46.3 million. Although these payments are subordinated and
deferrable, deferral of these payments would result in restrictions on distributions by GA FinCo and Global Atlantic Financial
Group Limited.
Unless otherwise stated above, KKR's maximum exposure under the arrangements described under this section “—
Indemnifications and Other Guarantees” are currently unknown as there are no stated or notional amounts included in these
arrangements and KKR's liabilities for these matters would require a claim to be made against KKR in the future.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, KKR (including Global Atlantic) is involved in various legal proceedings, requests for information,
lawsuits, arbitration, and claims incidental to the conduct of KKR's businesses. KKR's businesses are also subject to extensive
regulation, which may result in regulatory or other legal proceedings against them. Moreover, in the ordinary course of
business, KKR is and can be the defendant or the plaintiff in numerous lawsuits with respect to acquisitions, bankruptcy,
insolvency and other events. Such lawsuits may involve claims, or may be resolved on terms, that adversely affect the value of
certain investments owned by KKR's funds and Global Atlantic's insurance companies.
Kentucky Matter
In December 2017, KKR & Co. L.P. (which is now KKR Group Co. Inc.) and its then Co-Chief Executive Officers, Henry Kravis
and George Roberts, were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in Kentucky state court (the “2017 Action”) alleging, among
other things, the violation of fiduciary and other duties in connection with certain separately managed accounts that Prisma
Capital Partners LP, a former subsidiary of KKR, manages for the Kentucky Retirement Systems. Also named as defendants in
the lawsuit are certain current and former trustees and officers of the Kentucky Retirement Systems, Prisma Capital Partners
LP, and various other service providers to the Kentucky Retirement Systems and their related persons. The 2017 Action was
dismissed at the direction of the Supreme Court of Kentucky for lack of Kentucky constitutional standing. This dismissal
became final on February 16, 2024.
On July 21, 2020, the Office of the Attorney General, on behalf of the Commonwealth of Kentucky (the "Kentucky AG"),
filed a new lawsuit in the same Kentucky state court (the “2020 AG Action”) making essentially the same allegations as those
raised in the 2017 Action, including against what was then KKR & Co. Inc. (now KKR Group Co. Inc.) and Messrs. Kravis and
Roberts. On May 1, 2024, the trial court denied motions to dismiss the 2020 AG Action filed by KKR & Co. Inc. and Messrs.
Kravis and Roberts.
On April 8, 2024, after receiving permission from the Kentucky trial court in the 2020 AG Action, the Kentucky AG
amended its complaint in the 2020 AG Action to add a claim for breach of contract. The Kentucky AG also filed an action (the
"2024 AG Action") substantially identical to the 2020 AG Action, including the new claim for breach of contract. On April 23,
2024, KKR & Co. Inc., Messrs. Kravis and Roberts and other defendants moved to strike the Kentucky AG's amended complaint
in the 2020 AG Action, to stay consideration of the breach of contract claim and the 2024 AG Action until after the trial court's
ruling on the motions to dismiss the 2020 AG Action, and to deny a motion by the Kentucky AG to consolidate the 2020 AG
Action and the 2024 AG Action. These motions were denied, and the trial court consolidated the 2020 AG Action with the
2024 AG Action. On June 17, 2024, KKR & Co. Inc., Messrs. Kravis and Roberts and other defendants filed new motions to
dismiss the consolidated 2020 AG Action and 2024 AG Action.
In January 2021, some of the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the 2017 Action filed a new lawsuit on behalf of a new set of
plaintiffs, who claim to be “Tier 3” members of Kentucky Retirement Systems (the “Tier 3 Plaintiffs”), alleging substantially the
same allegations as in the 2017 Action. On July 9, 2021, the Tier 3 Plaintiffs served an amended complaint, which purports to
assert, on behalf of a class of beneficiaries of Kentucky Retirement Systems, direct claims for breach of fiduciary duty and civil
violations under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”). This complaint was removed to the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, which has entered an order staying this case until the completion of the
2020 AG Action. On August 20, 2021, the Tier 3 Plaintiffs and other individual plaintiffs filed a second complaint in Kentucky
state court (the “Second Tier 3 Action”), purportedly on behalf of Kentucky Retirement Systems’ funds, alleging the same
claims against what was then KKR & Co. Inc. (now KKR Group Co. Inc.) and Messrs. Kravis and Roberts as in the July 9th
amended complaint but without the RICO or class action allegations. On May 1, 2024, the trial court denied motions to
dismiss the Second Tier 3 Action filed by KKR & Co. Inc. and Messrs. Kravis and Roberts. On July 3, 2024, KKR & Co. Inc.,
Messrs. Kravis and Roberts and other defendants filed a writ of prohibition asking the Kentucky Court of Appeals to order the
trial court to dismiss the Second Tier 3 Action. On November 12, 2024, the Court of Appeals denied the request for a writ of
prohibition. Defendants have appealed that denial by petitioning the Kentucky Supreme Court for a writ of prohibition. The
Second Tier 3 Action is stayed pending the outcome of this petition.
On March 24, 2022, in a separate declaratory judgment action brought by the Commonwealth of Kentucky regarding the
enforceability of certain indemnification provisions available to what was then KKR & Co. Inc. (now KKR Group Co. Inc.) and
Prisma Capital Partners LP, the Kentucky state court concluded that it has personal jurisdiction over KKR & Co. Inc. in that
action, and that the indemnification provisions violated the Kentucky Constitution and were therefore unenforceable. On
December 1, 2023, the Kentucky Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s summary judgment on the issue of personal
jurisdiction over KKR & Co. Inc., but affirmed the trial court’s rulings that the indemnification provisions violated the Kentucky
Constitution and were unenforceable. On February 5, 2024, the Kentucky Court of Appeals denied the petitions of KKR & Co.
Inc. and others for rehearing. On April 8, 2024, KKR & Co. Inc. and other defendants in the declaratory judgment case filed
motions with the Supreme Court of Kentucky for discretionary review of the Court of Appeals' December 1, 2023 decision. On
August 14, 2024, the Kentucky Supreme Court granted discretionary review in the Kentucky AG’s declaratory judgment case of
both personal jurisdiction over KKR & Co. Inc. and the enforceability and constitutionality of the indemnification provisions
and, on September 22, 2025, opening briefs were filed by KKR & Co. Inc. and other defendants. The Commonwealth of
Kentucky filed its response briefs on November 21, 2025, and KKR & Co. Inc. and other defendants filed their reply briefs on
December 15, 2025.
On January 8, 2025, KKR, Messrs. Kravis and Roberts, Prisma Capital Partners L.P., and certain other defendants entered
into an agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Kentucky Public Pensions Authority, County Employees Retirement
System and Kentucky Retirement Systems (the “KPPA Entities”) to settle the 2020 AG Action and the 2024 AG Action. On May
12, 2025, the Kentucky trial court entered an order declining to enter the parties’ jointly proposed order approving the
settlement. Because the receipt of the court’s approval was a contractual condition to the settlement becoming final, the
settlement agreement terminated. KKR, Messrs. Kravis and Roberts, Prisma Capital Partners L.P., and the other defendants
that were party to the settlement agreement continue to deny any liability, wrongdoing, or damage, maintain that the
settlement was not an admission of any fault, liability, wrongdoing or damage, and maintain that they entered into the
settlement solely to avoid further legal expense, inconvenience, and the distraction of burdensome and protracted litigation.
KKR intends to continue to vigorously defend against all claims against KKR and Messrs. Kravis and Roberts.
On November 19, 2025, the Kentucky Public Pensions Authority (“KPPA”) filed a motion to intervene in the consolidated
2020 AG Action and 2024 AG Action to assert claims against KKR & Co. Inc., Prisma Capital Partners LP, and Prisma Capital
Partners LLC. On December 8, 2025, the court entered an agreed order tendered by the parties granting KPPA’s motion to
intervene and ordering that all briefing and deadlines relating to KPPA’s intervening complaint are stayed pending decision by
the Kentucky Supreme Court in the appeals arising out of the Kentucky AG’s declaratory judgment action.
Shareholder Derivative Litigation
On July 30, 2024, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court and was subsequently
amended on August 7, 2024 (first amended complaint) and further amended on August 19, 2025 (second amended
complaint). The operative second amended complaint claims, among other matters, that the Co-Founders and various current
and former executive officers and directors of KKR & Co. Inc. breached fiduciary duties and wasted corporate assets in
connection with transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Co-
Founders, certain current and former executive officers, and other senior executives of KKR received common stock from KKR.
The suit seeks to recover on behalf of KKR & Co. Inc. a cancellation of shares issued in the reorganization, monetary damages,
injunctive relief, restitution, and other remedies. KKR & Co. Inc. and other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the operative
second amended complaint on October 6, 2025. On December 18, 2025, plaintiffs filed their opposition to the motion to
dismiss the second amended complaint. Defendants filed their response on February 13, 2026.
Regulatory Matters
KKR currently is, and expects to continue to become from time to time, subject to various examinations, inquiries and
investigations by various U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies. Such examinations, inquiries and
investigations may result in the commencement of civil, criminal or administrative proceedings, or the imposition of fines,
penalties, or other remedies, against KKR and its personnel. KKR is subject to periodic examinations of its regulated businesses
by various U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, Central Bank of
Ireland, Monetary Authority of Singapore, U.S. state insurance regulatory authorities, and the Bermuda Monetary Authority.
KKR may also become subject to civil, criminal, administrative, or other inquiries or investigations (through a request for
information, civil investigative demand, subpoena or otherwise) by any of the foregoing governmental and regulatory
agencies as well as by any other U.S. or non-U.S. governmental or regulatory agency, including but not limited to the SEC, U.S.
Department of Justice ("DOJ"), U.S. state attorney generals, and similar non-U.S. governmental or regulatory agencies.
Since 2022, as previously disclosed, KKR has been subject to investigations by the Antitrust Division of the DOJ (the “DOJ”)
related to the accuracy and completeness of certain filings made by KKR pursuant to the premerger notification requirements
under the Hart‐Scott‐Rodino Act of 1976 (“HSR”) for certain transactions in 2021 and 2022. On January 14, 2025, the DOJ filed
a civil antitrust complaint (the “DOJ Complaint”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against KKR
and various KKR-sponsored investment entities (the “KKR Defendants”) alleging violations of the HSR Act. The DOJ Complaint
requests various relief for the alleged violations of the HSR Act by the KKR Defendants, including civil penalties in an amount
to be determined and various equitable relief, including potential disgorgement and injunctive relief against future violations
of the HSR Act. On January 14, 2025, KKR filed a complaint (the “KKR Complaint”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia against Doha Mekki in her official capacity as Acting Assistant Attorney General of the United States for the
Antitrust Division, the DOJ, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), and the United States of America pertaining to the HSR-
related investigations conducted by the DOJ. On January 16, 2025, KKR voluntarily dismissed the KKR Complaint filed in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and re-filed it in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York as
related to the DOJ Complaint. The KKR Complaint requests various forms of relief, including declaratory judgments that: (i)
KKR did not violate the HSR Act; (ii) the DOJ’s and FTC’s interpretations of the HSR Act are unconstitutionally vague; and (iii)
the DOJ seeks an excessive fine in violation of the U.S. Constitution. KKR intends to vigorously defend against the DOJ
Complaint and filed a motion to dismiss the DOJ Complaint on April 17, 2025. The DOJ filed its motion to dismiss the KKR
Complaint on April 23, 2025, and KKR and the DOJ agreed to dismiss one count of the KKR Complaint and to stay the rest of
the DOJ’s motion to dismiss pending resolution of KKR’s motion to dismiss the DOJ Complaint. The DOJ has continued its
investigations into certain of KKR’s past HSR filings, and KKR continues to cooperate in connection with these investigations.
The DOJ may initiate additional civil or criminal proceedings or take other actions against KKR, its employees or portfolio
companies, which could include further antitrust investigations into past HSR filings or transactions or other purported
violations of law. There can be no certainty as to the possible outcome of the DOJ Complaint, the KKR Complaint, the DOJ’s
investigations, or such other proceedings or other actions, any of which could result in a range of adverse financial and non‐
financial consequences to KKR. Even in the event that the parties are able to settle the pending litigation, it is possible that
any such settlement could involve significant monetary penalties and/or other possible remedial measures. In addition, KKR is
currently, and may from time to time become, subject to other investigations by the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and other
U.S. or non-U.S. governmental authorities related to antitrust matters, including the European Commission’s investigation
relating to the acquisition of certain infrastructure assets of Telecom Italia S.p.A. and FiberCop S.p.A. KKR is currently
cooperating in connection with these other investigations.
Loss Contingencies
KKR establishes an accrued liability for legal or regulatory proceedings only when those matters present loss
contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. KKR includes in its financial statements the amount of any
reserve for regulatory, litigation and related matters that Global Atlantic includes in its financial statements. No loss
contingency is recorded for matters where such losses are either not probable or reasonably estimable (or both) at the time
of determination. Such matters also have the possibility of resulting in losses in excess of any amounts accrued. To the extent
KKR can in any particular period estimate an aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, these decisions involve significant
judgment given that it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss for a matter is probable or even possible or to
estimate the amount of any loss in many legal, governmental and regulatory matters.
Estimating an accrued liability or a reasonably possible loss involves significant judgment due to many uncertainties,
including among others: (i) the proceeding may be in early stages; (ii) damages sought may be unspecified, unsupportable,
unexplained or uncertain; (iii) discovery may not have been started or is incomplete; (iv) there may be uncertainty as to the
outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there may be significant factual issues to be resolved; (vi) there may be novel
legal issues or unsettled legal theories to be presented or a large number of parties; or (vii) the proceeding relates to a
regulatory examination, inquiry, or investigation. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of all pending litigations,
arbitrations, claims, and governmental or regulatory examinations, inquiries, investigations and proceedings, and some of the
matters discussed above seek or may seek potentially large or indeterminate relief. Consequently, management is unable as
of the date of filing of this report to estimate an amount or range of reasonably possible losses related to matters pending
against KKR. In addition, any amounts accrued as loss contingencies or disclosed as reasonably possible losses may be, in part
or in whole, subject to insurance or other payments such as contributions and indemnity, which may reduce any ultimate loss.
As of the date of filing this report, management does not believe, based on currently available information, that the
outcomes of the matters pending against KKR will have a material adverse effect upon its financial statements. However,
given the potentially large and/or indeterminate relief sought or that may be sought in certain of these matters and the
inherent unpredictability of litigations, arbitrations, claims, and governmental or regulatory examinations, inquiries,
investigations and proceedings, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could have a material adverse effect
on KKR's financial results in any future period. In addition, there can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred
from claims that have not yet been asserted or those where potential losses have not yet been determined to be probable or
possible and reasonably estimable.
Other Financing Arrangements
Global Atlantic has financing arrangements with unaffiliated third parties to support the reserves of its affiliated special
purpose reinsurers. Total fees associated with these financing arrangements were $31.6 million, $17.9 million, and
$20.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and are included in insurance expenses in
the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total capacity of the financing
arrangements with third parties was $2.6 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively.
Other than the matters disclosed above, there were no outstanding or unpaid balances from the financing arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024.
25. CAPITAL & REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
Insurance subsidiary capital requirements
All of our Global Atlantic insurance companies are subject to minimum capital and surplus requirements. Insurance
companies typically operate in excess of such requirements. Failure to maintain such minimum capital will result in regulatory
actions, including in certain circumstances regulatory takeover of the insurance company.
In the United States, our Global Atlantic's insurance companies are subject to risk based capital ("RBC") standards and
other minimum capital and surplus requirements imposed by state laws. The RBC formula is intended to measure the
adequacy of the insurance company’s statutory surplus in relation to the risks inherent in its business. The RBC formula
requires higher surplus in relation to items deemed to have higher risk. Regulatory action is triggered beginning at 200% RBC
and below.
Our Global Atlantic Bermuda insurance companies are subject to Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirements ("BSCR")
standards and other minimum capital and surplus requirements imposed by the BMA. The BMA expects that insurers operate
at or above a BSCR ratio of at least 120%.
Each of our Global Atlantic insurance companies exceeded the minimum requirements that would trigger regulatory
action for all periods presented in this report.
Insurance subsidiary dividend restrictions
Payments of dividends by our U.S. and Bermuda-domiciled insurance companies are restricted by insurance statutes and
regulations. Our ability to pay dividends out of our U.S.-domiciled insurance companies is limited to the dividend paying
capacity of Global Atlantic's indirect insurance subsidiary, Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company
(“Commonwealth”). Commonwealth has negative unassigned surplus, and while it remains so, Commonwealth must obtain
written approval from the Massachusetts Division of Insurance prior to the payment of any dividend or distribution. Without
prior regulatory approval, and subject to maintaining certain solvency requirements, our U.S. and Bermuda insurance
subsidiaries, may declare ordinary dividends or distributions to their holding companies during 2025, as follows:
| ($ in thousands) | Ordinary dividend and distribution capacity | |
| U.S. domiciled | ||
| Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company | None | |
| Bermuda domiciled | ||
| Global Atlantic Re Limited | $1,674,870 |
Shareholders’ equity of our principal U.S.-domiciled insurance subsidiary, Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance
Company, determined pursuant to statutory accounting rules was approximately $6.8 billion and $6.2 billion as of December
31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Statutory surplus computed under those methodologies differ from equity reported in
accordance with U.S. GAAP primarily because fixed maturity securities are required to be carried at cost or amortized cost,
embedded derivatives on funds withheld reinsurance balances are not recognized, policy acquisition costs are expensed when
incurred and asset valuation, and interest maintenance reserves are required to be held. Life insurance reserves are
calculated based upon different assumptions and the recognition of deferred tax assets is based on different recoverability
assumptions.
Shareholders’ equity of our Bermuda-domiciled insurance subsidiary, Global Atlantic Re Limited, determined pursuant to
statutory accounting rules was approximately $5.1 billion and $4.2 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Bermuda reinsurers file statutory financial statements with the Bermuda Monetary Authority (the "BMA") that may differ
from U.S. GAAP. For example, Bermuda statutory surplus differs from U.S. GAAP primarily due to a modification that permits
our Bermuda insurance subsidiary to not measure the embedded derivative included within certain funds withheld
coinsurance agreements at fair value.

On February 4, 2026, KKR entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of Arctos Partners, LP (“Arctos”), an
investment firm that provides strategic growth capital and liquidity solutions to sports franchises and to private investment
fund sponsors. The closing of the acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of regulatory and specified sports approvals as well
as other customary conditions. Subject to the closing, KKR agreed to pay (i) $1.4 billion in initial consideration for the seller's
equity interests in Arctos, consisting of cash and equity securities of KKR, and (ii) up to $550 million of additional equity
securities based on KKR share price and Arctos business-specific performance targets. The number of shares or units issuable
in connection with the initial equity consideration of $1.1 billion will be calculated using $130.62 per share of common stock
of KKR & Co. Inc.
