Financial Statements by Insurance Company (Form N-VPFS)

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Contract Owners of

EquiTrust Life Annuity Account II and

EquiTrust Life Insurance Company

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the subaccounts listed in the Appendix that comprise EquiTrust Life Annuity Account II (the Accounts) as of December 31, 2025, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Accounts as of December 31, 2025, and the results of their operations for the year then ended and changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period 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 Accounts' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Accounts' financial statements 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 Accounts 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 are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits 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 include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the fund companies or their transfer agents, as applicable. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Forvis Mazars LLP

We have served as the Accounts' auditor since 2024.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2025

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

EquiTrust Life Annuity Account II (the Account), a unit investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, was established by EquiTrust Life Insurance Company (the Company). The Account is a funding vehicle for individual variable annuity contracts issued by the Company. The Company discontinued sales of variable annuity contracts but continues to receive premiums from sales that occurred prior to this change.

The assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Company's other assets and liabilities. The portion of the Account's assets applicable to the variable annuity contracts is not available to satisfy liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.

At the direction of eligible contract owners, the Account invests in the following thirty-five investment subaccounts which, in turn, own open-end mutual fund shares of registered investment companies (the Funds). Eligible contract owners may also allocate funds to the Declared Interest Option (DIO) account. The DIO is funded by the general account of the Company and pays interest at declared rates with a guaranteed minimum. Assets and liabilities associated with funds allocated to the DIO are excluded from the Account as these are included in the Company's general account.

EquiTrust Life Annuity Account II

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

(1) Subaccount was inactive during 2025 and 2024; accordingly, a Statement of Assets and Liabilities, a Statement of Operations and a Statement of Changes in Net Assets have not been presented herein.
(2) Effective December 31, 2025, BNY Mellon Variable Investment Fund changed the name of BNY Mellon VIF Opportunistic Small Cap Portfolio fund to BNY Mellon VIF Small Cap Portfolio.

Investments

Investments in shares of the Funds are stated at fair value, which is the closing net asset value per share as determined by the Funds. The first-in, first-out cost basis has been used in determining the net realized gain or loss from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.

At December 31, 2025, all valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of mutual fund shares owned by the Account were classified as Level 1 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the year.

Dividends and realized capital gain distributions are taken into income on an accrual basis as of the ex-dividend date and are automatically reinvested in shares of the Funds on the payable date.

Contracts in Annuitization Period

Net assets allocated to contracts in the annuitization period are computed according to the mortality table indicated in the original contract with an assumed investment return determined at the time of annuitization. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the variable annuity 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 insurance company.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of the Account's financial statements and accompanying notes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. These estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

2. Expense Charges and Related Party Transactions

Paid to the Company

The Account pays the Company certain amounts relating to the distribution and administration of the contracts funded by the Account and as reimbursement for certain mortality and other risks assumed by the Company. The following summarizes those amounts.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges: The Company deducts a daily mortality and expense risk charge from the Account at an effective annual rate of 1.40% of the average daily net asset value of the Account. These charges are assessed in return for the Company's assumption of risks associated with adverse mortality experience or excess administrative expenses in connection with contracts issued.

13

EquiTrust Life Annuity Account II

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Administrative Charge: Prior to the annuity payment period, the Company will deduct an annual administrative charge of $45 to reimburse it for administrative expenses related to the contract. A portion of this charge may be deducted from funds held in the fixed interest subaccount.

Transfer Charge: A transfer charge of $25 may be imposed for the thirteenth and each subsequent transfer between subaccounts in any one contract year.

3. Federal Income Taxes

The operations of the Account are included in the federal income tax return of the Company, which 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 Account to the extent the earnings are credited under the contracts. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the Account for federal income taxes. The Company will review periodically 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.

EquiTrust Life Annuity Account II

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

(A) There are no differences in unit value between accumulation units and units of contracts in annuitization period since there are no differences in charges that result in direct reductions of unit values.
(B) These ratios represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest.
(C) These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting of mortality and expense risk charges, for the 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 are excluded.
(D) These ratios represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.

7. Segment Reporting

Each subaccount, as detailed in Note 1, represents a single operating segment. The Chief Operating Officer of the Company acts as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and monitors the operating results of each subaccount. The change in net assets resulting from operations, which is used by the CODM to assess the subaccount's performance, is consistent with that presented within the subaccount's financial statements. Subaccount assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of Operations.
