MET 2Q22 results…

Investment income from private equity was way down from the (unsustainable) level in 2Q21; this was offset to some degree by lower life-insurance claims due to COVID.

MET analysis—1Q22 non-GAAP EPS was -15% YoY due to weaker (but still objectively strong) results in private-equity investments. In #msg-167739042, I asked rhetorically how long MET could continue to post superlative results from private equity. Now, we’re seeing a regression to the mean (or perhaps worse).

MET’s insurance business benefits from higher interest rates insofar as MET is effectively short fixed income (i.e. it has net liabilities for eventual insurance claims). However, in recent quarters, the gains on MET’s private-equity investments have outweighed the interest-rate effect mentioned above.

All told, I’m not especially bullish on MET; however, I manage a portfolio that has a MET position with a cost basis of zero, stemming from MET’s de-mutualization in 2001.

MET—(-6%/AH)—reports 2Q20 results—the main negative in the quarter was not COVID-19 claims, but rather losses on private equity and derivative securities:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/metlife-announces-second-quarter-2020-201500963.html

https://s23.q4cdn.com/579645270/files/doc_financials/2020/q2/MET_2Q20_Supplemental_Slides-FINAL.pdf

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/metlife-quarterly-profit-nosedives-lower-201514460.html MetLife said it had higher COVID-related claims during the quarter, but did not provide specifics. The disease's effects in the third quarter would be largely offset by underwriting margins, the company said.

MetLife reported $710 million in net derivative losses, compared with $724 million in derivative gains a year ago. That’s a $1.43B negative swing, YoY, but I can’t really complain insofar as MET gained $4.2B on derivatives during 1Q20 (#msg-155475813).

MET has been unusually volatile lately because investors are finding it hard to get a handle on the effect of the pandemic on MET’s various business segments. The volatility will likely continue until MET announces 1Q19 results and updated 2020 guidance on 5/6/20 (after the market close).
