SAFE HARBOR

The information in this report (including Exhibit 99.1) contains forward-looking statements about future events and circumstances and their effects upon revenues, expenses and business opportunities. Generally speaking, any statement in Exhibit 99.1 not based upon historical fact is a forward-looking statement.

In particular, statements regarding plans, strategies, prospects, targets and expectations regarding the business and industry are forward-looking statements. They reflect expectations, are not guarantees of performance and speak only as of the dates the statements are made. We caution investors that these forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, expressed or implied. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include those reflected in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Part II, Item 7.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jackson Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results

LANSING, Mich. — November 8, 2023 — Jackson Financial Inc. (NYSE: JXN) (Jackson®) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Key Highlights

▪Net income attributable to Jackson Financial Inc. common shareholders of $2,762 million, or $33.35 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $1,879 million, or $21.38 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2022

▪Adjusted operating earnings1 of $315 million, or $3.80 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $376 million, or $4.28 per diluted share in third quarter of 2022

▪Returned $123 million to common shareholders in the third quarter of 2023 through $71 million of share repurchases and $52 million in dividends; on pace to achieve 2023 capital return target of $450-$550 million

▪Third quarter 2023 registered index-linked annuity (RILA) sales of $807 million, up from $562 million in the third quarter of 2022

▪Total annuity account value of $218 billion as of the third quarter of 2023, up 10% from the third quarter of 2022, driven largely by higher equity markets over the 12-month period

▪Estimated Risk Based Capital (RBC) ratio at Jackson National Life Insurance Company as of the third quarter of 2023 was up from the second quarter of 2023 and above our target range of 425-500%

▪Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, Jackson Financial Inc. completed the planned sale of limited partnership assets as described in second quarter results. As a result, on a pro forma basis for this transaction, JFI had nearly $1.4 billion of cash and highly liquid securities.

Laura Prieskorn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jackson, stated, “Jackson’s third quarter 2023 results highlight our continued strategic and operational momentum as well as our commitment to ongoing diversification across our product portfolio. Our recently enhanced RILA suite gained traction, delivering a record level of RILA sales in the third quarter. Further, during the third quarter we successfully launched Flex Suite, a streamlined and simplified menu of add-on living benefits within our Perspective family of variable annuity products. In line with our commitments, we returned $123 million to common shareholders through dividends and share buybacks over the third quarter, positioning us well to achieve our 2023 capital return target of $450-$550 million. We’re pleased with our healthy regulatory capital position, as our estimated third quarter operating company RBC ratio is above our target range. We also maintained healthy levels of excess liquidity at the holding company and successfully completed our limited partnership sale. We are on track to deliver on our financial targets for the second year in a row and remain committed to creating long-term value for our shareholders.”

Consolidated Third Quarter 2023 Results

The company reported net income attributable to Jackson Financial Inc. common shareholders of $2,762 million, or $33.35 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1,879 million, or $21.38 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The current quarter net income

1 For the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, please see the explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Appendix to this release.

primarily reflects a larger net hedging gain compared to the prior year’s third quarter. The current quarter net hedging gain was driven by significant increases in interest rates, while the comparison to the prior year was mainly the result of stronger equity market returns. The change in the reported fair value of derivatives is not expected to match the change in hedged liabilities on a U.S. GAAP basis period-to-period, which can result in net income volatility. We believe the non-GAAP measure of adjusted operating earnings better represent the underlying performance of our business as the figure excludes, among other things, changes in fair value of derivative instruments and market risk benefits tied to market volatility. Additionally, net income in the third quarter reflects a $462 million gain from business reinsured to third parties, while the prior year’s third quarter included a gain of $868 million. These figures consist of the gain/loss on a funds withheld reinsurance treaty and related net investment income, which do not impact our statutory capital or free cash flow and can be volatile quarter to quarter. These figures also have a minimal net impact on shareholders’ equity because they are offset by related changes in AOCI within the funds withheld account.

Adjusted operating earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were $315 million, or $3.80 per diluted share, compared to $376 million or $4.28 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The current quarter adjusted operating earnings benefited from improved spread income as higher net investment income was only partially offset by the impact of resetting minimum interest crediting rates on variable annuity fixed rate options in 2023, as well as higher fee income resulting from higher average variable annuity assets under management (AUM). These were more than offset by lower income on operating derivatives, a gain on updating future policy benefits cash flow assumptions in the prior year’s third quarter that did not repeat in the current quarter, and higher operating and interest expenses.

The current quarter’s adjusted operating earnings included a $41 million comparative pretax benefit to the third quarter of 2022 from returns on private equity and other limited partnership assets relative to a 10% annualized return assumption.

Total common shareholders’ equity was $8.9 billion or $110.64 per diluted share as of September 30, 2023, compared to $8.6 billion or $100.56 per diluted share as of year-end 2022. Adjusted book value attributed to common shareholders2 was $11.9 billion or $146.84 per diluted share as of September 30, 2023, compared to $9.9 billion or $115.36 per diluted share as of year-end 2022. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily the result of non-operating hedging gains as well as adjusted operating earnings of $869 million.

Retail Annuities

Retail Annuities reported pretax adjusted operating earnings of $354 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $330 million in the third quarter of 2022. The current quarter benefited from improved spread income as higher net investment income was only partially offset by the impact of resetting minimum interest

crediting rates on variable annuity fixed rate options in 2023, and higher fee income resulting from higher average variable annuity AUM. These items were partially offset by increases in other policyholder benefits, operating and interest expenses, and a loss on operating derivatives compared to a gain in the prior year’s third quarter.

Current quarter total annuity sales of $3.3 billion were up from the second quarter of 2023 and down 7% from the third quarter of 2022. Traditional variable annuity sales have stabilized over recent quarters and were down 16% compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to consumer preferences for asset protection. The current quarter also included $807 million in RILA product sales, up from $562 million in the third quarter of 2022, reflecting strong demand for our recently enhanced RILA product suite. Fixed and fixed indexed annuity sales in the current quarter totaled $76 million, compared to $112 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Institutional Products

Institutional Products reported pretax adjusted operating earnings of $21 million in the third quarter of 2023, broadly in line with $20 million in the third quarter of 2022. Total sales for the current quarter were $112 million. Net flows totaled $(242) million in the current quarter, and total account value of $8.7 billion was up from $8.4 billion in the third quarter of 2022.

Closed Life and Annuity Blocks

Closed Life and Annuity Blocks reported pretax adjusted operating earnings of $6 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $76 million in the third quarter of 2022. The current quarter was negatively impacted by a loss on updating future policy benefits cash flow assumptions compared to a gain in the prior year’s third quarter, lower income on operating derivatives, and higher operating expenses, partially offset by favorable policy reserve movements.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other reported a pretax adjusted operating loss of $(26) million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of $(12) million in the third quarter of 2022. The change was primarily due to lower net investment income and lower income on operating derivatives.

Capitalization and Liquidity

(Unaudited, in billions)

September 30, 2023

June 30, 2023

Statutory Total Adjusted Capital (TAC) Jackson National Life Insurance Company

$4.5

$3.8

Jackson National Life Insurance Company’s (JNLIC) estimated RBC ratio as of the third quarter of 2023 was up from the second quarter of 2023 and above our 425-500% target range.

Statutory TAC at JNLIC was $4.5 billion as of the current quarter, up from $3.8 billion as of the second quarter of 2023. TAC increased primarily due to base contract cash flows, positive VA net guarantee results, and related tax benefits including deferred tax asset admissibility limits. JNLIC’s estimated company action level (CAL) required capital was up slightly during the quarter as a result of equity market and interest rate movements.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, Jackson Financial Inc. completed the planned sale of limited partnership assets as described in second quarter results. As a result, on a pro forma basis for this transaction, JFI had nearly $1.4 billion of cash and highly liquid securities. Prior to this transaction, holding company assets (excluding equity in subsidiaries) totaled nearly $1.4 billion, including cash and highly liquid securities of more than $0.9 billion as of September 30, 2023, which was above our targeted minimum liquidity buffer of 2x annual holding company expenses. On November 22, 2023, we expect to retire $600 million of senior notes with cash on hand.

Earnings Conference Call

Jackson will host a conference call Thursday, November 9, 2023, at 10 a.m. ET to review the third quarter results. The live webcast is open to the public and can be accessed at https://investors.jackson.com. A replay will be available following the call.

APPENDIX

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to presenting our results of operations and financial condition in accordance with GAAP, we use and report selected non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures, together with relevant GAAP financial measures, provides a better understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and the underlying performance drivers of our business. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplementary to our results of operations and financial condition that are presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the GAAP financial measures. Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Consequently, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Adjusted Operating Earnings

Adjusted Operating Earnings is an after-tax non-GAAP financial measure, which we believe should be used to evaluate our financial performance on a consolidated basis by excluding certain items that may be highly variable from period to period due to accounting treatment under GAAP or that are non-recurring in nature, as well as certain other revenues and expenses that we do not view as driving our underlying performance. Adjusted Operating Earnings should not be used as a substitute for net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe the adjustments to net income are useful for gaining an understanding of our overall results of operations.

For additional detail on the excluded items, please refer to the supplement regarding the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, posted on our website, https://investors.jackson.com.

The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Earnings to net income (loss) attributable to Jackson Financial Inc. common shareholders, the most comparable GAAP measure.

Adjusted Book Value Attributable to Common Shareholders

Adjusted Book Value Attributable to Common Shareholders excludes Preferred Stock and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) ("AOCI") attributable to Jackson Financial Inc ("JFI"), which does not include AOCI arising from investments held within the funds withheld account related to the Athene Reinsurance Transaction. We exclude AOCI attributable to JFI from Adjusted Book Value Attributable to Common Shareholders because our invested assets are generally invested to closely match the duration of our liabilities, which are longer duration in nature, and therefore we believe period-to-period fair market value fluctuations in AOCI to be inconsistent with this objective. We believe excluding AOCI attributable to JFI is more useful to investors in analyzing trends in our business. Changes in AOCI within the funds withheld account related to the Athene Reinsurance Transaction offset the related non-operating earnings from the Athene Reinsurance Transaction resulting in a minimal net impact on Adjusted Book Value of Jackson Financial Inc.
