Results of Operations by Segment

PGIM

•In December 2023, we completed the acquisition of a majority stake in Deerpath Capital Management, LP (“Deerpath”), a leading U.S.-based private credit and direct lending manager with approximately $5 billion in assets under management.

The following table sets forth PGIM’s operating results for the periods indicated:

(1)Certain of PGIM’s investment activities are based in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and are therefore subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The financial results of PGIM include the impact of an intercompany arrangement with our Corporate and Other operations designed to mitigate the impact of exchange rate changes on PGIM’s U.S. dollar-equivalent earnings. For additional information regarding this intercompany arrangement, see “—Results of Operations—Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates,” above.

(2)Includes certain components of consideration for business acquisitions, which are recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service periods.

Adjusted operating income increased $18 million, primarily reflecting higher asset management fees, net of related expenses, and higher other related revenues, net of related expenses, partially offset by higher compensation expenses.

Revenues and Expenses

The following table sets forth PGIM’s revenues, presented on a basis consistent with the table above under “—Operating Results,” by type:

(1)Consists of fees from: individual mutual funds and variable annuities and variable life insurance separate account assets; funds invested in proprietary mutual funds through our defined contribution plan products; and third-party sub-advisory relationships. Revenues from fixed annuities and the fixed-rate accounts of variable annuities and variable life insurance are included in the general account.

(2)Includes mortgage origination revenues from our commercial mortgage origination and servicing business.

Revenues increased $92 million. Asset management fees increased, primarily reflecting equity market appreciation and tightening credit spreads, as well as strong investment performance, and the impact of the Deerpath acquisition. Other related revenues were favorable, primarily reflecting higher incentive fees due to strong investment performance.

Expenses increased $74 million, primarily reflecting higher compensation expenses due to business growth, including the impact of the Deerpath acquisition, and increases related to certain long-term employee compensation plans tied to investment performance, as well as higher variable expenses related to performance-based incentive fees.

(2)Includes income reinvestment, where applicable.

PGIM’s assets under management as of March 31, 2024 increased $72 billion in comparison to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by equity market appreciation and tightening credit spreads, partially offset by the impacts of higher interest rates and unfavorable foreign exchange rates. PGIM’s assets under management as of March 31, 2024 increased $43 billion in comparison to the prior year end, primarily driven by fixed income net inflows and equity market appreciation, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts.

Private Capital Deployment

Private capital deployment is indicative of the pace and magnitude of capital that is invested and will result in future revenues that may include management fees, transaction fees, incentive fees and servicing revenues, as well as future costs to manage these assets.

Private capital deployment represents the gross value of private capital invested in real estate debt and equity, and private credit and equity asset classes. Assets under management resulting from private capital deployment are included in “Real estate” and “Private credit and other alternatives” in the “—Assets Under Management— by asset class table” above. As of March 31, 2024, these assets remained unchanged compared to December 31, 2023, as private capital net inflows were offset by market depreciation and unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts.

Private capital deployment includes PGIM’s real estate agency debt business, which consists of agency commercial loans that are originated and sold to third-party investors. PGIM continues to service these commercial loans; however, they are not included in assets under management.

The following table sets forth PGIM’s private capital deployed by asset class for the periods indicated:

Seed and Co-Investments

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, PGIM had approximately $1,176 million and $1,088 million of seed investments and $466 million and $443 million of co-investments at carrying value, respectively, primarily consisting of public fixed income, public equity, private credit and other alternatives, and real estate investments.

U.S. Businesses

The following table sets forth the operating results for our U.S. Businesses for the periods indicated:

Adjusted operating income for our U.S. Businesses increased by $79 million primarily due to:

•Higher net investment spread results, primarily reflecting higher reinvestment and short-term rates, as well as higher income on non-coupon investments; and

•Higher underwriting results, primarily reflecting less unfavorable mortality experience in our Individual Life business, and more favorable mortality experience in our Group Insurance business.

•Partially offsetting these increases were higher expenses, including costs associated with the recently closed reinsurance transaction for certain guaranteed universal life policies in our Individual Life business; and

•Lower fee income, net of distribution expenses and other associated costs, primarily in our Individual Retirement Strategies business due to a reduction in account values resulting from net outflows and the impact of the Prudential Defined Income (“PDI”) reinsurance transaction, partially offset by favorable equity markets.
