Andy Sullivan, CEO, commented on results:

“Our second quarter financial performance reflects continued positive momentum with solid sales across our global retirement and insurance businesses as well as strong investment performance in PGIM.

We remain focused on driving sustainable growth by sharpening our strategy, improving our financial performance, and fostering a high-performance culture.

During the second quarter, we made early progress towards achieving these priorities by launching the integration of PGIM's multi-manager model into a single unified asset management business, including a $1 trillion public and private credit platform. Our new structure enables us to better serve clients with differentiated origination and alpha-generating capabilities, including the rapidly growing market for private credit solutions, and to drive operating efficiencies, cross-selling opportunities, and increased revenue over time.

Looking ahead, we are focused on driving growth and long-term value for our shareholders, while continuing to navigate the current macroeconomic environment with discipline and the support of our robust financial strength."

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 $229 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $206 million in the year-ago quarter. This increase primarily reflects higher asset management fees, partially offset by higher expenses to support business growth.

PGIM assets under management of $1.441 trillion were up 8% 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 $0.4 billion reflect affiliated net inflows of $0.6 billion, partially offset by $0.2 billion of third-party net outflows. Third-party institutional inflows of $2.6 billion were positive across fixed income, private alternatives, and equity. Third-party retail outflows were $2.8 billion mainly driven by equity outflows due to market volatility.

U.S. Businesses

U.S. Businesses reported adjusted operating income of $955 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $1,023 million in the year-ago quarter. This decrease includes an unfavorable comparable impact from our annual assumption update and other refinements of $111 million. Excluding this item, current quarter results primarily reflect more favorable underwriting results, partially offset by lower fee income, net of distribution expenses and other associated costs.

Retirement Strategies, consisting of Institutional Retirement Strategies and Individual Retirement Strategies, reported adjusted operating income of $722 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $989 million in the year-ago quarter.

Institutional Retirement Strategies:

• Reported adjusted operating income of $396 million in the current quarter, compared to $550 million in the year-ago quarter. This decrease includes an unfavorable comparable impact from our annual assumption update and other refinements of $164 million. Excluding this item, current quarter results primarily reflect more favorable underwriting results.

• Net account values of $298 billion increased 13% from the year-ago quarter, reflecting the benefits of business growth and market appreciation. Sales in the current quarter of $8.9 billion reflect longevity risk transfer transactions totaling $5.6 billion, including our second transaction in the Netherlands. Year-to-date sales of $15.9 billion increased 6% from prior year-to-date.

Individual Retirement Strategies:

• Reported adjusted operating income of $326 million in the current quarter, compared to $439 million in the year-ago quarter. This decrease includes an unfavorable comparable impact from our annual assumption update and other refinements of $89 million. Excluding this item, current quarter results primarily reflect lower fee income, net of distribution expenses and other associated costs, partially offset by higher net investment spread results.

• Net account values of $132 billion increased 6% from the year-ago quarter driven by market appreciation, positive net flows from registered index-linked and fixed annuity products, partially offset by net outflows from the run-off of our legacy traditional variable annuity block. Sales of $3.1 billion in the current quarter decreased 10% from the year-ago quarter, as continued momentum in fixed annuities was more than offset by a decrease in sales of registered index-linked products.

Group Insurance:

• Reported adjusted operating income of $125 million in the current quarter, compared to $121 million in the year-ago quarter. This increase includes an unfavorable comparable impact from our annual assumption update and other refinements of $14 million. Excluding this item, current quarter results primarily reflect more favorable underwriting results.

• Year-to-date sales of $477 million increased 13% from prior year-to-date, driven by growth in both group life and disability.

Individual Life:

• Reported adjusted operating income of $108 million in the current quarter, compared to a loss of $87 million in the year-ago quarter. This increase includes a favorable comparable impact from our annual assumption update and other refinements of $156 million. Excluding this item, current quarter results primarily reflect more favorable underwriting results, partially offset by lower net investment spread results.

• Sales of $223 million increased 10% from the year-ago quarter, driven by higher variable life and term product sales.

International Businesses

International Businesses reported adjusted operating income of $761 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $702 million in the year-ago quarter. This increase includes a favorable comparable impact from our annual assumption update and other refinements of $53 million. Excluding this item, current quarter results primarily reflect more favorable underwriting results and higher net investment spread results, partially offset by higher expenses to support business growth.

Constant dollar basis sales⁽⁴⁾ of $541 million in the current quarter increased 4% from the year-ago quarter, reflecting growth of retirement and savings product sales in Japan.

Corporate & Other

Corporate & Other reported a loss, on an adjusted operating income basis, of $280 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to a loss of $371 million in the year-ago quarter. This lower loss primarily reflects lower expenses and higher net investment income.

NET INCOME

Net income in the current quarter included $516 million of pre-tax net realized investment losses and related charges and adjustments, including $78 million of pre-tax net credit-related losses, $426 million of pre-tax losses related to net change in value of market risk benefits, $6 million of pre-tax losses from divested and run-off businesses, and $42 million of pre-tax gains related to market experience updates.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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.
