#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholder and the Board of Directors of Talcott Resolution Distribution Company, Inc.

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Talcott Resolution Distribution Company, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, and the related statements of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholder's equity for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Emphasis of a Matter

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements include significant transactions with Talcott Resolution Life and Annuity Insurance Company and are not necessarily indicative of the conditions that would have existed had the Company been operated as an unaffiliated company. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

#### Report on Supplemental Schedules

The accompanying supplemental Schedule (h) and Schedules (j and m) (collectively "the supplemental schedules") have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedules reconcile to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedules. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedules, including their form and content, are presented in compliance with Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In our opinion, such schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Hartford, Connecticut February 23, 2026

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2002.

### TALCOTT RESOLUTION DISTRIBUTION COMPANY, INC. (A Subsidiary of Talcott Holdings, L.P.)

### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

#### 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Talcott Resolution Distribution Company, Inc. (the "Company") is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Talcott Holdings, L.P. (the "Parent" or "THLP"). The Parent is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Talcott Financial Group, Ltd.

In 2025 the Company was transferred via a dividend from the direct control of THLP's subsidiary Talcott Resolution Life and Annuity Insurance Company to the direct control of THLP remains the Parent of the Company. The transfer changes the Company's status from an indirect subsidiary to a direct subsidiary of THLP.

The Company serves as an underwriter for variable annuity contracts issued by affiliates of the Parent, as well as the private placement agent for certain variable insurance contracts written by affiliates of the Parent. The Company incurs underwriting expenses to third party broker-dealers for the distribution of these contracts. Such expenses are paid by the Parent on behalf of the Company.

The Company does not hold customer funds and claims an exemption under the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 15c3-3 (k)(1). As a result, the Company is not subject to the customer protection rule, Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 15c3-3 ("Rule 15c3-3").

These financial statements were prepared from the separate records maintained by the Company, which include significant transactions with affiliates, and are not necessarily indicative of the conditions that would have existed had the Company been operated as an unaffiliated business.

#### 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Use of Accounting Estimates – The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP'), which requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported on the financial statements. The financial statements contain no material estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and may include cash on hand, demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions, money market funds, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

{10}------------------------------------------------

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of financial instruments, which include receivables and payables, approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

For financial instruments that are carried at fair value, a hierarchy is used to place the instruments into three broad levels (Level 1, 2, and 3) by prioritizing the observable inputs in the valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 investments include highly liquid open-ended management investment companies ("money market fund").

Level 2: Observable inputs, other than unadjusted quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 investments include those that are model priced by vendors using observable inputs.

Level 3: Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). Because Level 3 fair values, by their nature, contain unobservable market inputs, considerable judgment is used to determine the Level 3 fair values. Level 3 fair values represent the best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a current market exchange absent actual market exchanges.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

At December 31, 2025, the Company held \$9,451,793 in a money market fund, which is included in cash and cash equivalents. The investment is carried at fair value, measured at quoted prices, and considered a Level 1 investment under the fair value hierarchy levels. The Company had no Level 2 or Level 3 investments at December 31, 2025 and there were no transfers of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Underwriting Income and Expense – Variable insurance products underwriting income is recognized when, or as, services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those services. The Company earns and receives underwriting income from its affiliates to the extent that the Company incurs underwriting expenses in performing its contractual obligations. Underwriting expense is recorded as incurred based upon contractual agreements, and includes commissions paid to third parties who distributed variable insurance contracts on behalf of its affiliates.

Income Tax - The Company measures income taxes using the asset and liability method, where deferred income taxes are recognized to represent the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary

{11}------------------------------------------------

differences are expected to reverse. The Company evaluates the likelihood of realizing the benefit of deferred tax assets, and if required, records a valuation allowance to reduce the total deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance, to an amount that will more likely than not be realized. The Company classifies interest and penalties (if applicable) as income tax expense in the statements of operations. There are no deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2025.

The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for fiscal year 2025 and discloses the effective tax rate paid by the entity that is split between state and federal income taxes.

Segment Reporting - The Company has one reportable segment: insurance and annuity underwriting, as disclosed within the Underwriting Income and Expense section of this Footnote 2. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Group Chief Executive Officer. The CODM is regularly provided with only expenses as included on the face of the Statement of Operations. As such, there are no other significant segment expenses.

The Company acts as an underwriter for certain variable insurance contracts issued by its affiliates. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded income of \$123,256,558 from affiliates while underwriting the insurance contracts.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received \$1,610,624 from affiliates as reimbursement for certain expenses incurred for performing these functions and is included in other revenue.

{12}------------------------------------------------

Management believes intercompany transactions are calculated on a reasonable basis; however, these transactions may not necessarily be indicative of the terms that would be incurred if the Company operated on a standalone basis.

#### 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 is comprised of the following components:

|                                            | December 31, 2025 |
|--------------------------------------------|-------------------|
| Current - U.S. Federal income tax expense  | \$83,785          |
| Deferred - U.S. Federal income tax expense |                   |
| Current - U.S. State income tax expense    | \$55.136          |
| Total income tax expense                   | \$138.921         |

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company's domestic income taxes was \$454,110. The Company does not have income from foreign sources and therefore does not have any foreign income tax.

A reconciliation of the difference between the expected income tax expense or benefit computed at the U.S. statutory income tax rate and the Company's income tax expense is shown in the following table:

|                                                                     |   | Amount  | Percent |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|---|---------|---------|
| U.S Federal Statutory Tax Rate                                      | S | 95,364  | 21%     |
| State and Local Income Taxes, Net of Federal Income S<br>Tax Effect |   | 43,557  | 10%     |
| Effective Tax Rate                                                  | ಕ | 138,921 | 31%     |

The Company paid \$55,136 in state taxes and \$95,000 in federal income taxes as of December 31, 2025. State taxes are included in other expenses on the statement of income.

For the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company recognized no interest expense and had no interest payable.

The Company does not believe it would be subject to any open tax years and, therefore, has not recorded any accrual for penalties.

The Company recognizes taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes for the tax consequences of differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

There are no deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2025.

The statute of limitations on federal audits has expired for all years through 2021 and the Company is not currently under examination for any open years. Management believes that an adequate provision 

{13}------------------------------------------------

has been made in the financial statements for any potential adjustments that may result from tax examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years.

On October 8, 2021, the OECD announced that members of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (the "Inclusive Framework") agreed to a two-pillar solution to address the tax challenges associated with the digitalization of the economy. On December 20, 2021, the OECD released the Pillar Two model rules, which define the global minimum tax and call for the taxation of large corporations at a minimum rate of 15 percent. The OECD has since issued commentary and additional administrative guidance related to the Inclusive Framework agreement. Certain jurisdictions in which the Company's affiliates operate, have enacted Pillar Two legislation that became effective on January 1, 2024. While the Company's indirect parent is in scope of the enacted legislation, we do not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact on the Company's current year financial results. We will continue to monitor regulatory developments to assess potential impacts on our financial statements as additional guidance is released.

#### 5. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company, as a registered broker-dealer in securities, is subject to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1, which requires the Company to maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of \$250,000 or 2% of combined aggregate debit items shown in the Formula for Reserve Requirements, pursuant to Rule 15c3-3.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$8,447,717 which was \$8,197,717 in excess of its required net capital of \$250,000.

#### CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 6.

In the normal course of business, the Company may be named as a defendant in various lawsuits and may be involved in certain investigations and proceedings. Some of these matters may involve claims of substantial amounts. Management evaluates each contingent matter separately and a loss is recorded if probable and reasonably estimable. Management establishes reserves for these contingencies at its "best estimate", or, if no one number within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, the Company records an estimated reserve at the low end of losses. At December 31, 2025, management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such normal course litigation, is not material to the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

#### SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 7.

The Company evaluated subsequent events through February 23, 2026, the date the financial statements were issued, and identified no events which would require recognition or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.

#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of Talcott Resolution Distribution Company, Inc.

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Talcott Resolution Distribution Company, Inc.'s (the "Company") Exemption Report in which (1) the Company identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3(k) under which the Company claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3: paragraph (k)(1) (the "exemption provisions") and (2) the Company stated that the Company met the identified exemption provisions throughout the year ended December 31, 2025, without exception. The Company's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about the Company's compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(1) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
