Andy Sullivan, CEO, commented on results:

"Prudential reported strong sales across our global retirement and insurance businesses, as well as strong investment performance and net inflows in PGIM for the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating income was higher than the first quarter of last year, despite lower than expected alternative investment results due to weaker private equity and real estate returns.

To continue to position the company for success, I will focus on evolving and delivering on our strategy, improving our execution, and fostering a high-performance culture that helps us achieve our growth ambitions. We will also continue to balance investments in the growth of our businesses with meaningful dividends and share repurchases, which exceeded $700 million in the first quarter.

Looking ahead, the leadership team and I are committed to executing on our strategy to improve our financial performance, and we believe our robust financial strength and business capabilities put us in a strong position to support our customers in the current macroeconomic environment and be a global leader in investment, insurance, and retirement security."

Net income attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc. was $707 million ($1.96 per Common share) for the first quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $1.138 billion ($3.12 per Common share) for the first quarter of 2024. After-tax adjusted operating income was $1.188 billion ($3.29 per Common share) for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $1.115 billion ($3.05 per Common share) for the first quarter of 2024.

Consolidated adjusted operating income and adjusted book value are non-GAAP measures. A discussion of these measures, including definitions thereof, how they are useful to investors, and certain limitations thereof, is included later in this press release under "Non-GAAP Measures" and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables that accompany this release.

RESULTS OF ONGOING OPERATIONS

The Company's ongoing operations include PGIM, U.S. Businesses, International Businesses, and Corporate & Other. In the following business-level discussion, adjusted operating income refers to pre-tax results.

PGIM

PGIM, the Company's global investment management business, reported adjusted operating income of $156 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $169 million in the year-ago quarter. This decrease primarily reflects lower other related revenues, driven by lower seed and co-investment income and lower incentive fees, partially offset by higher asset management fees, net of related expenses.

PGIM assets under management of $1.385 trillion were up 3% from the year-ago quarter driven by fixed income and equity market appreciation, net inflows, and strong investment performance. Total net flows in the quarter of $4.3 billion reflect $4.4 billion of third-party net inflows, partially offset by affiliated net outflows of $0.1 billion. Third-party institutional inflows of $4.6 billion were positive across fixed income, private alternatives, and equity. Third-party retail outflows were $0.2 billion as equity outflows were mostly offset by fixed income inflows.

U.S. Businesses

U.S. Businesses reported adjusted operating income of $931 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $805 million in the year-ago quarter. This increase primarily reflects more favorable underwriting results and lower expenses, partially offset by lower fee income, net of distribution expenses and other associated costs from the run-off of our legacy traditional variable annuity block, and lower net investment spread results, driven by lower alternative investment returns.

Retirement Strategies, consisting of Institutional Retirement Strategies and Individual Retirement Strategies, reported adjusted operating income of $876 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $881 million in the year-ago quarter.

Institutional Retirement Strategies:

Reported adjusted operating income of $412 million in the current quarter, compared to $441 million in the year-ago quarter. This decrease primarily reflects lower net investment spread results and higher expenses, partially offset by more favorable underwriting results.

Net account values of $285 billion increased 7% from the year-ago quarter, reflecting the benefits of business growth and market appreciation. Sales in the current quarter of $7 billion included two longevity risk transfer transactions totaling nearly $5 billion.

Individual Retirement Strategies:

Reported adjusted operating income of $464 million in the current quarter, compared to $440 million in the year-ago quarter. This increase primarily reflects higher net investment spread results, partially offset by lower fee income, net of distribution expenses and other associated costs.

Net account values of $124 billion increased 1% from the year-ago quarter driven by market appreciation, partially offset by net outflows from the run-off of our legacy traditional variable annuity block. Sales of $3.5 billion in the current quarter increased 5% from the year-ago quarter, reflecting continued momentum of our registered index-linked products.

Group Insurance:

Reported adjusted operating income of $89 million in the current quarter, compared to $45 million in the year-ago quarter. This increase primarily reflects more favorable underwriting results in both group life and disability, partially offset by higher expenses.

Sales of $400 million in the current quarter increased 6% from the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by growth in group life.

Individual Life:

Reported a loss, on an adjusted operating income basis, of $34 million in the current quarter, compared to a loss of $121 million in the year-ago quarter. This lower loss primarily reflects more favorable underwriting results and lower expenses, partially offset by lower net investment spread results.

Sales of $210 million in the current quarter increased 26% from the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by variable life sales, reflecting our pivot to more capital efficient solutions.

International Businesses

International Businesses reported adjusted operating income of $848 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $896 million in the year-ago quarter. This decrease primarily reflects lower net investment spread results, lower joint venture earnings, and a net unfavorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates.

Constant dollar basis sales⁽³⁾ of $586 million in the current quarter increased 15% from the year-ago quarter, driven by growth in both Japan and Brazil.

Corporate & Other

Corporate & Other reported a loss, on an adjusted operating income basis, of $415 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to a loss of $435 million in the year-ago quarter. This lower loss primarily reflects lower expenses, partially offset by higher interest expense.

NET INCOME

Net income in the current quarter included $351 million of pre-tax losses related to net change in value of market risk benefits, $246 million of pre-tax net realized investment losses and related charges and adjustments, including $84 million of pre-tax net credit-related losses, $73 million of pre-tax losses from divested and run-off businesses, and $39 million of pre-tax gains related to market experience updates.

Net income for the year-ago quarter included $123 million of pre-tax gains related to net change in value of market risk benefits, $63 million of pre-tax net realized investment losses and related charges and adjustments, including $80 million of pre-tax net credit-related losses, $38 million of pre-tax losses from divested and run-off businesses, and $32 million of pre-tax losses related to market experience updates.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain of the statements included in this release, including those regarding our strategy and our commitment to improve the quality and consistency of our earnings performance, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are made based on management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects upon Prudential Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Prudential Financial, Inc.'s actual results may differ, possibly materially, from expectations or estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements. Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from expectations or estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements can be found in the "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements" sections included in Prudential Financial, Inc.'s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements herein are subject to the risk, among others, that we will be unable to execute our strategy because of market or competitive conditions or other factors. Prudential Financial, Inc. does not undertake to update any particular forward-looking statement included in this document.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Consolidated adjusted operating income and adjusted book value are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this release.

We believe that our use of these non-GAAP measures helps investors understand and evaluate the Company's performance and financial position. The presentation of adjusted operating income as we measure it for management purposes enhances the understanding of the results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of our businesses. Trends in the underlying profitability of our businesses can be more clearly identified without the fluctuating effects of the items described below. Adjusted book value augments the understanding of our financial position by providing a measure of net worth that is primarily attributable to our business operations separate from the portion that is affected by capital and currency market conditions, and by isolating the accounting impact associated with insurance liabilities that are generally not marked to market and the supporting investments that are marked to market through accumulated other comprehensive income under GAAP. However, these non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for income and equity determined in accordance with GAAP, and the adjustments made to derive these measures are important to an understanding of our overall results of operations and financial position. The schedules accompanying this release provide reconciliations of non-GAAP measures with the corresponding measures calculated using GAAP. Additional historic information relating to our financial performance is located on our website at investor.prudential.com.

Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure used by the Company to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources. Adjusted operating income excludes "Realized investment gains (losses), net, and related charges and adjustments". A significant element of realized investment gains and losses are impairments and credit-related and interest rate-related gains and losses. Impairments and losses from sales of credit-impaired securities, the timing of which depends largely on market credit cycles, can vary considerably across periods. The timing of other sales that would result in gains or losses, such as interest rate-related gains or losses, is largely subject to our discretion and influenced by market opportunities as well as capital and other factors.

Realized investment gains (losses) within certain businesses for which such gains (losses) are a principal source of earnings, and those associated with terminating hedges of foreign currency earnings and current period yield adjustments, are included in adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income generally excludes realized investment gains and losses from products that contain embedded derivatives, and from associated derivative portfolios that are part of an asset-liability management program related to the risk of those products. Adjusted operating income also excludes gains and losses from changes in value of certain assets and liabilities relating to foreign currency exchange movements that have been economically hedged or considered part of our capital funding strategies for our international subsidiaries, as well as gains and losses on certain investments that are designated as trading. Adjusted operating income also excludes investment gains and losses on assets supporting experience-rated contractholder liabilities and changes in experience-rated contractholder liabilities due to asset value changes, because these recorded changes in asset and liability values are expected to ultimately accrue to contractholders. Adjusted operating income excludes the changes in fair value of equity securities that are recorded in net income. Additionally, adjusted operating income excludes the impact of annual assumption updates and other refinements included in the above items.

Adjusted operating income excludes "Change in value of market risk benefits, net of related hedging gains (losses)", which reflects the impact from changes in current market conditions, and market experience updates, reflecting the immediate impacts in current period results from changes in current market conditions on estimates of profitability, which we believe enhances the understanding of underlying performance trends. Adjusted operating income also excludes the results of Divested and Run-off Businesses, which are not relevant to our ongoing operations, and discontinued operations and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests, each of which is presented as a separate component of net income under GAAP. Additionally, adjusted operating income excludes other items, such as certain components of the consideration for acquisitions, which are recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service periods, and goodwill impairments. Earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests is presented as a separate component of net income under GAAP and excluded from adjusted operating income. The tax effect associated with pre-tax adjusted operating income is based on applicable IRS and foreign tax regulations inclusive of pertinent adjustments.

Adjusted operating income does not equate to "Net income" as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted operating income is not a substitute for income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our definition of adjusted operating income may differ from that used by other companies. The items above are important to an understanding of our overall results of operations. However, we believe that the presentation of adjusted operating income as we measure it for management purposes enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of our businesses. Trends in the underlying profitability of our businesses can be more clearly identified without the fluctuating effects of the items described above.

Adjusted book value is calculated as total equity (GAAP book value) excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), the cumulative change in fair value of funds withheld embedded derivatives, and the cumulative effect of foreign currency exchange rate remeasurements and currency translation adjustments corresponding to realized investment gains and losses. These items are excluded in order to highlight the book value attributable to our core business operations separate from the portion attributable to external and potentially volatile capital and currency market conditions.
