**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Contract Owners of<br>Metropolitan Life Separate Account E<br>and Board of Directors of<br>Metropolitan Life Insurance Company

**Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights**

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the divisions of Metropolitan Life Separate Account E (the "Separate Account") listed in Notes 2A and 2B (collectively, the "Divisions") as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, except for the Divisions included in the table below; the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the Divisions and periods indicated in the table below; and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements and financial highlights"). In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Divisions as of December 31, 2025, and the results of their operations for the year then ended (or for the periods listed in the table below), the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (or for the periods listed in the table below), and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (or for the periods listed in the table below), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Separate Account's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. 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 Separate Account 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 audits 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the Separate Account's custodian or mutual fund companies. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP

New York, New York<br>March 27, 2026

We have served as the Separate Account's auditor since 1984.

**1.** **ORGANIZATION**

Metropolitan Life Separate Account E (the "Separate Account"), a separate account of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), was established by the Company's Board of Directors on September 27, 1983 to support operations of the Company with respect to certain variable annuity contracts (the "Contracts"). The Company is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The Separate Account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is subject to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the New York State Department of Financial Services.

The Separate Account is divided into divisions (the "Divisions"), each of which is treated as an individual accounting entity for financial reporting purposes. Each Division invests in shares of the corresponding fund, series or portfolio (with the same name) of registered investment management companies (the "Trusts"), which are presented below:

American Funds Insurance Series<sup>®</sup> ("American Funds")

BlackRock Variable Series Funds, Inc. ("BlackRock")

Brighthouse Funds Trust I ("BHFTI")

Brighthouse Funds Trust II ("BHFTII")

Calvert Variable Series, Inc. ("Calvert")

Delaware VIP Trust

Fidelity<sup>®</sup> Variable Insurance Products ("Fidelity VIP")

Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust ("FTVIPT")

Janus Aspen Series ("Janus Aspen")

Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust ("LMPVET")

PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust ("PIMCO VIT")

The assets of each of the Divisions of the Separate Account are registered in the name of the Company. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Company's other assets and liabilities. The portion of the Separate Account's assets applicable to the Contracts cannot be used for liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by the Company.

**Merger:**

<u>Former Portfolio</u>

BHFTI SSGA Emerging Markets Enhanced Index II Portfolio

<u>New Portfolio</u>

BHFTI SSGA Emerging Markets Enhanced Index Portfolio

**4.** **SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Basis of Accounting**

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") applicable for variable annuity separate accounts registered as unit investment trusts, which follow the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, *Investment Companies.*

**Security Transactions**

Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are computed on the basis of the average cost of the investment sold. Income from dividends and realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-distribution date.

**Security Valuation**

A Division's investment in shares of a fund, series or portfolio of the Trusts is valued at fair value based on the closing net asset value ("NAV"). All changes in fair value are recorded as changes in unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the statements of operations of the applicable Divisions. The Separate Account defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Each Division invests in shares of open-end mutual funds which calculate a daily NAV based on the fair value of the underlying securities in their portfolios. As a result, and as required by law, shares of open-end mutual funds are purchased and redeemed at their daily NAV as reported by the Trusts at the close of each business day.

ASC Topic 820, *Fair Value Measurement* ("ASC 820") provides that the Separate Account is not required to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. Additionally, ASC 820 does not require certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The Separate Account's investments in shares of a fund, series or portfolio of the Trusts are using NAV as a practical expedient, therefore investments are not categorized within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**4.** **SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (Concluded)**

**Federal Income Taxes**

The operations of the Separate Account form a part of the total operations of the Company and are not taxed separately. The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Separate Account to the extent the earnings are credited under the Contracts. Accordingly, no charge is currently being made to the Separate Account for federal income taxes. The Company will periodically review the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the Contracts.

**Annuity Payouts**

Net assets allocated to Contracts in the annuity payout period are computed according to industry standard mortality tables and, if any, are shown in net assets from Contracts in payout on the statements of assets and liabilities. The assumed investment return is between 3.0 and 6.0 percent. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Separate Account by the Company to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the Company. Annuity payouts, if any, are included in transfers for Contract benefits and terminations on the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Divisions.

**Purchase Payments**

Purchase payments, less any applicable charges, applied to the Separate Account are invested in one or more Divisions in accordance with the selection made by the Contract owner. Purchase payments received from Contract owners by the Company are credited as accumulation units as of the end of the valuation period in which received, as provided in the prospectus for the Contracts, and are reported as Contract transactions on the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Divisions.

**Net Transfers**

Assets transferred by the Contract owner into or out of Divisions within the Separate Account or into or out of the fixed account, which is part of the Company's general account, are recorded on a net basis as net transfers in the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Divisions.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

**Segment Reporting**

Each Division of the Separate Account constitutes a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment. The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") oversees the activities of the Separate Account using information of each Division. The Separate Account is engaged in a single line of business as a registered unit investment trust. The Separate Account is a funding vehicle for individual and group variable annuity Contracts issued by the Company to support the liabilities of the applicable Contracts. The Divisions have identified the Company's Assistant Vice President of Life and Annuity Products as the CODM.

The CODM uses the increase (decrease) in net assets from operations as their performance measure in order to make operational decisions while monitoring the net assets of each of the Divisions within the Separate Account. The accounting policies used to measure profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The measure of segment assets is reported on the statements of assets and liabilities as net assets. The measure of segment profit and loss is reported on the statements of operations and changes in net assets as increase (decrease) in net assets from operations. All assets and increases (decreases) in net assets from operations are generated in the U.S.

**5.** **EXPENSES & CONTRACT CHARGES**

The following annual Separate Account charge paid to the Company is an asset-based charge and assessed through a daily reduction in unit values, which are recorded as administrative charges in the accompanying statements of operations of the applicable Divisions:

<u>Administrative</u> — The Company has responsibility for the administration of the Contracts and the Separate Account. Generally, the administrative charge is related to the maintenance, including distribution, of each Contract and the Separate Account.

The following annual Separate Account charges paid to the Company are asset-based charges and assessed through a daily reduction in unit values, which are recorded as expenses in the accompanying statements of operations of the applicable Divisions:

<u>Mortality and Expense Risk</u> — The mortality risk assumed by the Company is the risk that those insured may die sooner than anticipated and therefore, the Company will pay an aggregate amount of death benefits greater than anticipated. The expense risk assumed is the risk that expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Contracts will exceed the amounts realized from the administrative charges assessed against the Contracts. In addition, the charge compensates the Company for the risk that the insured (the annuitant) may live longer than estimated and the Company would be obligated to pay more in income payments than anticipated.

<u>Optional Death Benefit Rider</u> — For an additional charge, the total death benefit payable may be increased based on increases in account value of the Contracts.

<u>Earnings Preservation Benefit</u> — For an additional charge, the Company will provide additional amounts at death to pay expenses that may be due upon the death of the Contract owner, unless the Contract owner is a non-natural person and then the benefit is payable upon the death of the annuitant. This amount may not be sufficient to cover expenses that the Contract owner's heirs may have to pay.

<u>Enhanced Stepped-Up Benefit Rider</u> — For an additional charge, the total death benefit payable may be increased based on the greater of the account balance or highest annual Contract anniversary value in the Contract or the greater of the account balance, annual increase amount or highest annual Contract anniversary value in the Contract.

<u>Preservation and Growth Rider</u> — For an additional charge, the Company will guarantee at a future date the Account Value (adjusted for withdrawals) will not be less than the initial Purchase Payment.

The table below represents the range of effective annual rates for each respective charge for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Separate Account charges referred to in this disclosure are for current charges of the Contracts and can vary among products within the Separate Account. A Contract administrative charge which ranges from $0 to $30 is assessed on an annual basis for Contracts with a value of less than $50,000, which may be waived if the Contract reaches a certain asset size or under certain circumstances. The Company reserves the right to charge a transfer fee ranging from $0 to $25 after twelve transfers are made in a Contract year or, for certain Contracts. Currently, the Company is not charging a transfer fee. These charges are paid to the Company, assessed through redemption of units, and recorded as Contract charges in the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

<sup>1</sup>

These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Division from the underlying fund, series, or portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets, regardless of share class, if any. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense risk charges, that are assessed against Contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The investment income ratio is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The recognition of investment income by the Division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund, series, or portfolio in which the Division invests. The investment income ratio is calculated as a weighted average ratio since the Division may invest in two or more share classes, within the underlying fund, series, or portfolio of the Trusts which may have unique investment income ratios.

<sup>2</sup>

These amounts represent annualized Contract expenses of each of the applicable Divisions, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to Contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund, series, or portfolio have been excluded.

<sup>3</sup>

These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, series, or portfolio, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum returns, based on the minimum and maximum returns within each product grouping of the applicable Division.

\*

Due to system limitations, the Units Outstanding for this fund were increased and accordingly the Unit Values decreased during the year ended December 31, 2023 or 2024. There was no impact to the net assets of the division.
