Company Overview

Current report

Effective in the first quarter of 2025, consistent with changes to the Company’s internal management structure, our International Businesses are reflected as a single operating and reportable segment, which is how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) now assesses its performance and allocates resources. Prior to the first quarter of 2025, our International Businesses consisted of the Life Planner and Gibraltar Life and Other operating segments, each of which was a reportable segment under U.S. GAAP. The change has been applied retrospectively and did not have any impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein or to any previously issued financial statements.

Current report

In February 2026, in conjunction with our previously announced internal investigation into employee misconduct in Japan, we voluntarily suspended new sales activity at Prudential of Japan for a 90-day period, commencing February 9, 2026. See “—Litigation and Regulatory Matters—Regulatory” within Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Results of Operations by Segment—International Businesses” below for additional information.

Business Outlook

Current report

We feel confident about our prospects for the future based on the foundation of our integrated and complementary businesses. We are focused on evolving our strategy to transform our market-leading businesses to become a higher growth, more capital efficient company. We plan to continue investing in growth businesses and markets around the world, delivering industry-leading customer and client experiences, and creating the next generation of financial solutions. The businesses drive our company’s performance, value and growth, and are organized around the markets we serve with solutions in investing, insurance, and retirement security.

Current report

America, is experiencing rising life expectancy and an expanding middle class, along with increasing disposable income and greater financial awareness. These trends drive demand for life insurance products that prioritize financial security, wealth preservation, and retirement planning, and underscore the need for diversified solutions, including protection-oriented, savings, and health related policies.

Current report

Highly inflationary economy

Current report

The following section provides a comparative discussion of our consolidated results of operations on a U.S. GAAP basis for the periods indicated.

Current report

“Net income (loss) attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc.” increased $849 million, inclusive of a $546 million unfavorable variance from income taxes, primarily driven by the increase in pre-tax earnings, as described below, and the impact of certain tax law and rate changes in the current year. See “—Income Taxes” for additional information.

Current report

“Total revenues” decreased $9,631 million, primarily due to the following:

Current report

•“Realized investment gains (losses), net” — $703 million unfavorable variance, primarily reflecting unfavorable derivative results, excluding Funds Withheld portfolios, as well as unfavorable impacts from Funds Withheld related embedded derivatives, which are offset by changes in the value of the investments in these portfolios that are primarily recorded in “Other income (loss)” or through “Other comprehensive income.” These variances were partially offset by lower losses from the sales of fixed income securities, and less unfavorable impacts from net credit losses and impairments. See “—General Account Investments—Realized Investment Gains and Losses” for additional information.

Current report

•“Net investment income” — $1,564 million favorable variance, primarily reflecting business growth and higher reinvestment rates. See “—General Account Investments—Investment Results” for additional information; and

Current report

•“Other income (loss)” — $1,389 million favorable variance, primarily reflecting favorable changes in the market value of fixed income securities designated as trading, including those within our Funds Withheld portfolios, as discussed above.

Current report

“Total benefits and expenses” decreased $11,078 million, primarily due to the following:

Current report

•“Policyholders’ benefits” — $11,895 million favorable variance, primarily reflecting lower pension risk transfer premiums, as discussed above; and

Current report

•“General and administrative expenses” — $330 million favorable variance, net of deferrals, primarily reflecting lower operating expenses, partially offset by higher variable expenses supporting business growth.

Current report

•“Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances” — $486 million unfavorable variance, primarily reflecting business growth.

Current report

Shown below are the impacts on our adjusted operating income from updates of actuarial assumptions and other refinements as discussed above. The information below is presented by each segment and Corporate and Other operations and includes a reconciliation of these impacts to the impacts within income (loss) before income taxes and equity in earnings of joint ventures and other operating entities.

Current report

Individual Life. Results for 2025 increased in comparison to 2024, inclusive of a favorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements. Excluding this item, results increased, primarily reflecting higher underwriting results and lower expenses, partially offset by lower net investment spread results.

Current report

Adjusted operating income increased $3 million, primarily reflecting:

Current report

•higher net service, distribution and other revenues driven by a gain on the sale of our asset management business in Taiwan.

Current report

These variances were largely offset by:

Current report

•higher operating expenses, primarily driven by charges resulting from a business reorganization and to support business growth; and

Current report

•lower net other related revenues.

Current report

(2)Includes revenues from the Company’s general account assets, as well as certain separate account assets of the Company’s insurance and retirement businesses managed by PGIM.

Current report

Revenues increased $139 million, primarily reflecting:

Current report

•higher asset management fees, driven by higher average assets under management from the impact of equity market and fixed income appreciation, net inflows and strong investment performance; and

Current report

•higher service, distribution and other revenues, primarily reflecting the gain on sale of our asset management business in Taiwan and higher revenues from certain consolidated funds (which were fully offset by higher expenses related to noncontrolling interests in these funds).

Current report

•lower other related revenues, primarily reflecting lower incentive fees and lower seed and co-investments earnings, driven by less favorable investment performance, partially offset by higher commercial mortgage origination revenues from higher loan production.

Removed paragraphs (112)

Previous report

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company identified an immaterial error in the application of adjusted operating income, which resulted in an overstatement thereof for indexed variable and fixed annuity products within the Retirement Strategies segment in the first three quarters of 2024 and each of the four quarters of 2023. As a result, the Company has voluntarily revised its historical adjusted operating income for the relevant periods, resulting in decreases in pre-tax adjusted operating income of $149 million (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $55 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. These revisions had no impact to “Net income (loss)” for any period as determined in accordance with GAAP. See Note 23 for additional information regarding adjusted operating income.

Outlook

Previous report

We feel confident about our prospects for the future based on the foundation of our integrated and complementary businesses. We plan to continue our transformation towards becoming less market-sensitive, including efforts to further de-risk, such as through reinsurance transactions, and to deliver sustainable long-term growth, including investing in products and solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. Our plan remains to allocate capital across the businesses with the intention of increasing the earnings contribution from our higher-growth businesses and reducing capital allocated to lower-growth, more capital-intensive businesses.

Previous report

See below for a discussion of the current interest rate environment and its impact to net investment spread in our U.S. and Japanese operations along with the composition of their insurance liabilities and policyholder account balances.

Previous report

U.S. Operations excluding the Closed Block Division

Previous report

While interest rates in the U.S. have experienced a sustained period of historically low levels, rates increased throughout 2022 and have continued to sustain higher levels throughout 2024, and our average reinvestment yield is generally now exceeding our current average portfolio yield.

Previous report

The portion of the general account supporting our U.S. Businesses and our Corporate and Other operations has approximately $205 billion offixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans (based on net carrying value) as of December 31, 2024, with an average portfolio yield of approximately 4.9%. For this portion of the general account attributable to these operations, we estimate annual principal payments and prepayments that we would be required to reinvest to be approximately 7.4%of the fixed maturity security and commercial mortgage loan portfolios through 2026.

Previous report

Included in the $205 billion of fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans are approximately $170 billion that are subject to call or redemption features at the issuer’s option and have a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5%. Of this $170 billion, approximately 55% contain provisions for prepayment premiums. Future operating results will be impacted by (i) the reinvestment of scheduled payments or prepayments (not subject to a prepayment fee) at different rates compared to the current portfolio yield, including in some cases at rates below those guaranteed under our insurance contracts, and (ii) our utilization of other asset/liability management strategies, as described above, in order to maintain favorable net investment spread.

Previous report

The following table sets forth the insurance liabilities and policyholder account balances of our U.S. operations excluding the Closed Block Division, by type, for the date indicated:

Previous report

The $194 billion above relates to long-duration products such as group annuities, structured settlements and other insurance products that have fixed and guaranteed terms. We seek to manage the impact of changes in interest rates on these contracts through asset/liability management, as discussed above.

Previous report

The $37 billion above relates to contracts with crediting rates that may be adjusted over the life of the contract, subject to guaranteed minimums. Although we may have the ability to lower crediting rates for those contracts above guaranteed minimums, our willingness to do so may be limited by competitive pressures. For additional information regarding contracts with adjustable crediting rates subject to guaranteed minimums, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Previous report

The remaining $1 billion of insurance liabilities and policyholder account balances in these operations relates to participating contracts for which the investment income risk is expected to ultimately accrue to contractholders. The crediting rates for these contracts are periodically adjusted based on the return earned on the related assets.

Previous report

Substantially all of the $47 billion of general account assets in the Closed Block division support obligations and liabilities relating to the Closed Block policies only. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Closed Block.

Previous report

Japan has experienced a low interest rate environment for many years, during which the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy has resulted in even lower and, at times, negative yields for certain tenors of government bonds; however, recent actions by the Bank of Japan have resulted in an increase in interest rates in 2024.

Previous report

In order to manage, to the extent possible, the impact that the current interest rate environment has on our net investment spread, our Japanese operations employ a proactive asset/liability management program. We continue to purchase long-term bonds with tenors of 10 years or greater. We also regularly examine our product offerings and their profitability. As a result, we may reprice certain products, adjust commissions for certain products and discontinue sales of other products that do not meet our profit expectations. Additionally, our diverse product portfolio in terms of currency mix and premium payment structure allows us to further manage any impacts from changes in the interest rate environment. For additional information regarding sales within these operations, see “—International Businesses—Sales Results,” below.

Previous report

The portion of the general account supporting our Japanese operations has approximately $142 billionof fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans (based on net carrying value) as of December 31, 2024, with an average portfolio yield of approximately 3.0%. Our Japanese operations have continued to invest in U.S. dollar (“USD”)-denominated assets supporting our USD-denominated product portfolio, which has now driven average reinvestment rates to exceed current average portfolio rates. For this portion of the general account attributable to these operations, we estimate annual principal payments and prepayments that we would be required to reinvest to be approxim ately 6.1% of the fixed maturity security and commercial mortgage loan portfolios through 2026.

Previous report

Included in the$142 billion of fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans are approximately $12 billion that are subject to call or redem ption features at the issuer’s option and have a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4%. Of this$12 billion, approximately 7% contain provisions for prepayment premiums. Future operating results will be impacted by (i) the reinvestment of scheduled payments or prepayments (not subject to a prepayment fee) at different rates compared to the current portfolio yield, including in some cases at rates below those guaranteed under our insurance contracts, and (ii) our utilization of other asset/liability management strategies, as described above, in order to maintain favorable net investment spread.

Previous report

The following table sets forth the insurance liabilities and policyholder account balances of our Japanese operations, by type, for the date indicated:

Previous report

The$108 billion primarily consists of long-duration insurance products that have fixed and guaranteed terms, for which underlying assets may have to be reinvested at interest rates that are lower than current portfolio yields. The remaining insurance liabilities and policyholder account balances include $36 billion related to contracts that impose a market value adjustment if the contracts are canceled before maturity and $8 billion related to contracts with crediting rates that may be adjusted over the life of the contract, subject to guaranteed minimums. Most of the current crediting rates on these contracts, however, are at or near contractual minimums. Although we have the ability in some cases to lower crediting rates for those contracts that are above guaranteed minimum crediting rates, the majority of this business has interest crediting rates that are determined by formula. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding crediting rates on policyholder account balances.

Previous report

The following table summarizes net income (loss) for the periods presented:

Previous report

2024 to 2023 Annual Comparison. The $239 million increase in “Net income (loss) attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc.” reflected the following notable items on a pre-tax basis:

Previous report

•$360 million favorable variance from realized investment gains (losses), net, and related charges and adjustments; and

Previous report

•$327 million favorable variance from higher adjusted operating income from our business segments (see “Segment Results of Operations” for additional information).

Previous report

Partially offsetting these increases in “Net income (loss) attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc.” were the following items:

Previous report

•$453 million unfavorable variance reflecting the change in value of market risk benefits, net of related hedging gains (losses); and

Previous report

•$162 million unfavorable variance from market experience updates.

Previous report

“Net income (loss) attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc.” also reflected a $106 million favorable variance from income taxes, primarily reflecting an increase in the non-taxable pre-tax items included above.

Previous report

(1)The amount for 2023 reflects the correction of an error related to indexed variable and fixed annuity products within the Retirement Strategies segment. See “—Overview” above for additional information.

Previous report

(5)Includes goodwill impairments of $177 million and $903 million recorded in the fourth quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to Assurance IQ. See Note 2 and Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Previous report

Individual Life. Results for 2024 decreased in comparison to 2023, inclusive of an unfavorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements. Excluding this item, results decreased, primarily driven by higher expenses, including costs associated with the recent guaranteed universal life reinsurance transactions as well as from the consolidation of our internal captive reinsurance arrangements, partially offset by the ongoing favorable impacts from these reinsurance transactions.

Previous report

Highly inflationary economies

Previous report

•For most long-duration contracts, we utilize a net premium valuation methodology in measuring the liability for future policy benefits. Under this methodology, the Company accrues a liability for future policy benefits when premium revenue is recognized. The liability is based on the present value of expected future benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders and related non-level claim settlement expenses less the present value of expected future net premiums (portion of the gross premium required to provide for all benefits and related non-level claim settlement expenses using current best estimate assumptions). A net-to-gross (“NTG”) ratio is calculated as the ratio of the present value of expected policy benefits and non-level claim settlement expenses divided by the present value of expected gross premiums. The NTG ratio is applied to gross premiums, as premium revenue is recognized, to determine net premiums that are subtracted from the present value of expected benefits and non-level claim settlement expenses to determine the liability for future policy benefits, which cannot be less than zero. The NTG ratio at the cohort measurement unit level cannot exceed 100%, and if it exceeds 100%, the excess benefit expenses are recorded as a charge to current period earnings. The result of the net premium valuation methodology is that the liability at any point in time represents an accumulation of the portion of premiums received to date expected to fund future benefits (i.e., net premiums received to date), less any benefits and expenses already paid. The liability does not necessarily reflect the full policyholder obligation the Company expects to pay at the conclusion of the contract since a portion of that obligation would be funded by net premiums received in the future and would be recognized in the liability at that time. The insurance cash flow assumptions are updated quarterly to reflect actual experience and are generally updated annually to reflect changes in best estimate future insurance cash flow assumptions using a retrospective unlocking method with the impact recorded through current period earnings. At the time of an experience or best estimate assumption unlocking, a revised NTG ratio is calculated using actual historical cash flow experience and updated, if any, best estimate future cash flow assumptions, discounted using the locked-in discount rate. The revised NTG ratio is then applied to prior period cash flows to derive a cumulative catch-up adjustment as of the beginning of the quarter. The revised NTG ratio is then used going forward to accrue the reserve, until the next unlocking. The liability is also remeasured each quarter using a current discount rate, based on an upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield, with the impact recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income. Expense assumptions included in the liability only include claim related expenses and exclude acquisition costs and non-clai…

Excerpt shortened here; the source contains the full paragraph.

Previous report

•For limited-payment contracts, in addition to the liability calculated using the net premium valuation method described above, a deferred profit liability (“DPL”) is established for the amount of gross premiums received in excess of expected net premiums and is amortized into premium income in relation to the discounted amount of insurance in force for life insurance or expected benefit payments for annuity contracts. The DPL is subject to a retrospective unlocking adjustment consistent with the liability for future policy benefits.

Previous report

•For certain contract features, such as no-lapse guarantees, a liability is established when associated assessments (which include investment margin on policyholders’ account balances deposited to fixed and indexed funds and policy charges for administration, mortality, expense, surrender, and other charges) are recognized. This liability is established using current best estimate assumptions and is based on the ratio of the present value of total expected excess payments (e.g., payments in excess of account value) over the life of the contract divided by the present value of total expected assessments (i.e., benefit ratio). The liability equals the current benefit ratio multiplied by cumulative assessments recognized to date, plus interest, less cumulative excess payments to date. The liability does not necessarily reflect the full policyholder obligation the Company expects to pay at the conclusion of the contract since a portion of that excess payment would be funded by assessments received in the future and would be recognized in the liability at that time. The reserves are subject to adjustments based on annual reviews of assumptions and quarterly adjustments for experience as described below, including market performance. These adjustments reflect the impact on the benefit ratio of using actual historical experience from the issuance date to the balance sheet date plus updated estimates of future experience. The updated benefit ratio is then applied to all prior periods’ assessments to derive an adjustment to the reserve recognized through a benefit or charge to current period earnings.

Previous report

•For universal life type contracts and participating contracts, the Company performs premium deficiency tests using best estimate assumptions, at a minimum, on an annual basis, and on a quarterly basis for business whose profitability is closely tied to equity market performance. If the current net reserves are less than the best estimate liability, the existing net reserves are adjusted by first reducing the associated deferred sales inducements (“DSI”) or value of business acquired (“VOBA”) by the amount of the deficiency or to zero through a charge to current period earnings. If the deficiency is more than the DSI or VOBA for insurance contracts, the net reserves are increased by the excess through a charge to current period earnings. Since investment yields are used as the discount rate, the premium deficiency test is also performed using a discount rate based on the market yield (i.e., assuming what would be the impact if any unrealized gains (losses) were realized as of the testing date). In the event that by using the market yield a deficiency occurs, an adjustment is established for the deficiency and is included in AOCI.

Annual assumptions review and quarterly adjustments

Previous report

Individual Retirement Strategies. The reserves for future policy benefits of our Individual Retirement Strategies segment, which as of December 31, 2024, represented less than 1% of our total future policy benefit reserves, primarily relate to reserves for life contingent payout annuity contracts for which a deferred profit liability is established for the amount of gross premiums received in excess of net premiums, and are generally calculated using the net premium valuation methodology. The primary assumptions used in determining expected future benefits and expenses include mortality and interest rate assumptions.

Previous report

Group Insurance. The reserves for future policy benefits of our Group Insurance segment, which as of December 31, 2024, represented 2% of our total future policy benefit reserves, primarily relate to reserves for group life and disability benefits. For short-duration contracts, a liability is established when the claim is incurred. The reserves for group life and disability benefits also include a liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses, which relates primarily to the group long-term disability product. This liability represents our estimate of the present value of future disability claim payments and expenses as well as estimates of claims that have been incurred, but have not yet been reported, as of the balance sheet date. The primary assumptions used in determining expected future claim payments are claim termination factors, an assumed interest rate and expected Social Security offsets. The remaining reserves for future policy benefits for group life and disability benefits relate primarily to our group life business, and include reserves for waiver of premium, claims reported but not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported. The waiver of premium reserve is calculated as the present value of future benefits and utilizes assumptions such as expected mortality and recovery rates. The reserve for claims reported but not yet paid is based on the inventory of claims that have been reported but not yet paid. The reserve for claims incurred but not yet reported is estimated using expected patterns of claims reporting.

Previous report

Corporate and Other. The reserves for future policy benefits of our Corporate and Other operations, which as of December 31, 2024, represented 3% of our total future policy benefit reserves, primarily relate to our long-term care products and are generally calculated using the net premium valuation methodology, as described above. The primary assumptions used in establishing these reserves include morbidity, mortality, mortality improvement, persistency, premium rate increases, inflation, and interest rate assumptions.

•PGIM. After a long period of low interest rates and benign economic conditions, 2022 and 2023 experienced a sharp rise in rates, combined with higher equity market volatility and a downturn in the commercial real estate industry. While the economic outlook has improved, interest rates remain elevated and the real estate market is still in the early stages of recovery. We expect that a stabilized or declining rate environment over time will positively impact PGIM, particularly as investors reallocate record-high money market assets to fixed income, real estate, and other higher-yielding asset classes. Conversely, a deterioration in market conditions (e.g., equity market declines, higher interest rates, credit spread widening or real estate value declines) could lead to lower fee-based revenues, incentive fees taking longer to be realized and losses in our seed and co-investments. An economic downturn could also have impacts on real estate prices as well as transaction volumes in certain private asset classes. We believe PGIM’s uniquely diversified global platform is well positioned to be resilient in the face of market and industry headwinds.

Current wording

•PGIM. After a period of significantly increased interest rates and volatile economic conditions in 2022 and 2023, we experienced a modest decline in rates during 2024 and 2025, combined with improved equity market conditions and a slight rebound in the commercial real estate industry. While the economic outlook has improved, interest rate movements remain uncertain and the real estate market is in a modest recovery. We expect that a stabilized or declining rate environment over time will positively impact PGIM, particularly as investors reallocate record-high money market assets to fixed income, real estate, and other higher-yielding asset classes. Conversely, a deterioration in market conditions (e.g., equity market declines, higher interest rates, credit spread widening or real estate value declines) could lead to lower fee-based revenues, incentive fees taking longer to be realized and losses in our seed and co-investments. An economic downturn could also have impacts on real estate prices as well as transaction volumes in certain private asset classes. In addition, the continued shift from active strategies to passive index products, particularly in equities, could present additional headwinds for active managers such as PGIM. We believe PGIM’s uniquely diversified global platform is well positioned to be resilient in the face of market and industry headwinds.

•U.S. Businesses. As discussed further under “—Impact of Changes in the Interest Rate Environment” below, interest rates in the U.S. experienced a prolonged period of historically low levels, followed by a sharp rise in 2022 and sustained higher levels in 2023 and 2024. We expect that a continued level of higher interest rates will benefit our results over time. We continue to monitor current market conditions and the impact to our businesses from slowing or negative economic growth. In addition, we are subject to financial impacts associated with movements in equity markets and the evolution of the credit cycle as discussed in “—Segment Results of Operations,” where applicable, and more broadly in “Item 1A.

•International Businesses. Our International Businesses’ operations, especially in Japan, have operated in a low interest rate environment for many years, as discussed under “—Impact of Changes in the Interest Rate Environment” below, and these low interest rates negatively impact our net investment spread results and reinvestment yields. In addition, we are subject to financial impacts associated with movements in foreign currency rates, particularly the Japanese yen. Fluctuations in the value of the yen can impact the relative attractiveness to customers of both yen-denominated and non-yen denominated products thereby impacting both sales and surrenders. In addition, we are subject to financial impacts associated with movements in equity markets and the evolution of the credit cycle as discussed in “—Segment Results of Operations,” where applicable, and more broadly in “Item 1A.

Interest rates in Japan experienced a prolonged period of historically low levels, negatively impacting our net investment spread results and reinvestment yields; however, beginning in 2024, the Bank of Japan began raising its key short-term interest rates, marking their highest levels since September 1995. We expect that a continued level of higher interest rates will benefit our results over time.

•International Businesses. Japan has an aging population as well as a large pool of household assets invested in low-yielding deposit and savings vehicles. The aging of Japan’s population, along with strains on government pension and healthcare programs, have led to a growing demand for products that provide financial solutions for retirement, investment and wealth transfer, as well as for health-related products. Brazil has the largest population in South America and has recently experienced a modest increase in population. The nation is undergoing a rapid demographic transition characterized by a growing proportion of aging and middle class populations. This demographic transition has driven demand for diverse life insurance products, particularly tailored to financial security and wealth protection.

In order to manage the impacts that changes in interest rates have on our net investment spread, we employ a proactive asset/liability management program, which includes strategic asset allocation and hedging strategies within a disciplined risk management framework. These strategies seek to match the liability characteristics of our products, and to closely approximate the interest rate sensitivity of the assets with the estimated interest rate sensitivity of the product liabilities. Our asset/liability management program also helps manage duration gaps, currency and other risks between assets and liabilities through the use of derivatives. We adjust this dynamic process as products change, as customer behavior changes and as changes in the market environment occur. As a result, our asset/liability management process has permitted us to manage the interest rate risk associated with our products through several market cycles. Our interest rate exposure is also mitigated by our business mix, which includes lines of business for which fee-based and insurance underwriting earnings play a more prominent role in product profitability. We also regularly examine our product offerings and their profitability. As a result, we may reprice certain products and discontinue sales of other products that do not meet our profit expectations.

As a result, we implemented a structure in Gibraltar Life’s operations that disaggregated the USD- and AUD-denominated businesses into separate divisions, each with its own functional currency that aligns with the underlying products and investments. The result of this alignment was to reduce differences in the accounting for changes in the value of these assets and liabilities that arise due to changes in foreign currency exchange rate movements. For the USD- and AUD-denominated assets that were transferred under this structure, the net cumulative unrealized investment gains associated with foreign exchange remeasurement that were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” (“AOCI”) totaled $1.1 billion and $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and will be recognized in earnings within “Realized investment gains (losses), net” over time as these assets mature or are sold. Absent the sale of any of these assets prior to their stated maturity, approximately 3% of the $1.1 billion balance as of December 31, 2024 will be recognized in 2025, approximately 5% will be recognized in 2026, and the remaining balance will be recognized from 2027 through 2051.

Enterprise Group, our strategic investment in Ghana, has historically utilized the Ghanaian cedi as its functional currency given it is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. In the fourth quarter of 2023, Ghana experienced a cumulative inflation rate that exceeded 100% over a 3-year period. As a result, Ghana’s economy was deemed to be highly inflationary, which requires the results of our investment in Enterprise Group to be remeasured in USD, effective January 1, 2024, as per the U.S. GAAP requirements described above. The impact to our financial statements was not material nor is it expected to have a material impact to our financial statements in future periods given the relative size of the investment.

Annual Reviews and Update of Assumptions and Other Refinements

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

During the second quarter of each year, we perform an annual comprehensive review of the assumptions used for estimating future premiums, benefits, and other cash flows, including reviews related to mortality, morbidity, lapse, surrender, and other contractholder behavior assumptions, and economic assumptions, including expected future rates of returns on investments. The Company generally looks to relevant Company experience as the primary basis for these assumptions; however, if relevant Company experience is not available or does not have sufficient credibility, the Company may look to experience of similar blocks of business, either elsewhere within the Company or within the industry. As part of this review, we may update these assumptions and make refinements to our models based upon emerging experience, future expectations and other data, including any observable market data we feel is indicative of a long-term trend. These assumptions are generally reviewed annually unless a material change in our own experience or in industry experience made available to us is observed in an interim period that we feel is also indicative of a long-term trend. Generally, we do not expect trends to change significantly in the short-term and, to the extent these trends may change, we expect such changes to be gradual over the long-term. The impact on our results of operations of changes in these assumptions can be offsetting and we are unable to predict their movement or offsetting impact over time.

Our former insurance operations in Argentina, Prudential of Argentina (“POA”), historically utilized the Argentine peso as its functional currency given it is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operated. During 2018, Argentina experienced a cumulative inflation rate that exceeded 100% over a 3-year period. As a result, Argentina’s economy was deemed to be highly inflationary, resulting in reporting changes effective July 1, 2018. Under U.S. GAAP, the financial statements of a foreign entity in a highly inflationary economy are to be remeasured as if its functional currency (formerly the Argentine peso) is the reporting currency of its parent reporting entity (the USD) on a prospective basis. While this changed how the results of POA were remeasured and/or translated into USD, the impact to our financial statements was not material given the relative size of those operations. As discussed further in “—International Businesses” below, in March 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell POA and transferred these operations into the Divested and Run-off Businesses that are included within our Corporate and Other operations. The transaction was completed in May 2024.
