Why is KKR filing an 8-K/A amendment instead of a full pro forma financial statement?

KKR is filing an amendment to an 8-K to provide pro forma information regarding the Global Atlantic acquisition. They are presenting a narrative rather than full pro forma financial statements because the number of pro forma adjustments required is limited. This narrative is deemed sufficient to illustrate the effects for investors.

What is the impact of the Global Atlantic acquisition on KKR's balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, according to the pro forma adjustments?

Pro forma adjustments indicate that as of December 31, 2023, KKR's Cash and Cash Equivalents would have been reduced by $2.6 billion and KKR & Co. Inc. Stockholders' Equity by $2.2 billion. Noncontrolling Interests would have decreased by $0.4 billion. The reduction in equity is largely due to Global Atlantic's negative Accumulated Comprehensive Income from unrealized investment losses.

How does the acquisition affect KKR's net income and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2023?

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the pro forma Net Income Attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. Common Stockholders is presented as increasing slightly from $3.7 billion to $3.8 billion. This results in a pro forma increase in Net Income per Share (Basic) from $4.24 to $4.33, reflecting a reallocation of net income that would have otherwise been attributed to noncontrolling interests.

Are the unrealized losses on Global Atlantic's investment portfolio a significant concern for KKR?

The filing suggests these unrealized losses, which contributed to a negative Accumulated Comprehensive Income, are not considered a significant immediate concern. KKR believes substantially all these losses should not be realized because Global Atlantic intends to hold these investments until they recover, aligning with its asset-liability cash-flow matching strategy.
