MetLife shares lower as company misses EPS expectations

Shares of MetLife Inc. fell more than 2% late Tuesday after the insurer reported adjusted fourth-quarter per-share earnings below expectations. Metlife said it earned $2.1 billion, or $1.97 a share, in the quarter, versus a loss of $2.2 billion, or $2.03 a share, in the prior-year period. Net income includes a $70 million, after tax, charge related to policy reserves, and a $1.2 billion charge related to the U.S. tax overhaul. Adjusted for one-time earnings, the company earned $678 million, or 64 cents a share, compared with 95 cents a share a year ago. Revenue rose to $15.75 billion, from $12.62 billion a year ago. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected adjusted earnings of $1.08 a share on revenue of $15.52 billion. MetLife in January postponed its earnings report and said it would revise previous quarterly earnings because of pension benefits it had failed to pay.

MetLife to use tax savings to boost employee benefits

MetLife Inc. said Monday it is planning to increase its investment in employees using tax savings from the overhaul that was written into law in December. The life insurer said it will establish a minimum wage of $15 an hour and a minimum group life insurance benefit of $75,000, regardless of an employee's pay. The benefit was previously set at one times annual pay. The company is planning to introduce a $300 minimum monthly credit for the cash-balance formula of its defined benefit pension plan, also regardless of employee pay. It will enhance its 401-k plan by moving to auto-enrollment and extend company-paid group legal services offered through MetLife's Hyatt Legal Plans. Shares were not active premarket, but have fallen 5% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 13%.
