Comment from Michel Khalaf, President

and Chief Executive Officer:

We delivered the highest quarterly

adjusted earnings per share in MetLife’s

history in the third quarter, demonstrating

the strength of our New Frontier strategy

and discipline of our execution.

Revenue rose in every business segment,

and solid underwriting, volume growth and

higher investment returns lifted earnings.

We’re turning that into strong free cash

flow, reinvesting for responsible growth

and returning capital to shareholders.

We are firing on all cylinders in year two of

New Frontier, and we remain confident in

our strategy and its ability to drive

repeatable results.
