Current report
We believe we are a uniquely integrated financial services company, with a competitive position supported by our longstanding brand, broad customer relationships, global distribution capabilities, and a diversified business model that combines liability generation across retirement and protection products with PGIM’s asset management expertise across public and private markets. Together, these capabilities enable us to originate, manage, and allocate capital at scale, meet evolving customer and client needs, and generate earnings and cash flow across market cycles.
Current report
In August 2026, we announced a deliberate, multi-year strategy to become a more focused, higher-performing enterprise. We intend to exit emerging markets and concentrate capital, talent, and management attention on large, developed markets where we believe we have the greatest opportunity to compete and scale, including the United States, Japan, and select markets in Europe; strengthen leadership positions in global retirement, asset management, and select protection businesses; optimize capital deployment toward higher-return and less capital-intensive opportunities; and leverage global scale, technology, and simplification initiatives to improve efficiency. As part of this strategy, we are undertaking an enterprise-wide cost savings initiative expected to reduce annual operating expenses by approximately $750 million by year-end 2028. Through these actions, we seek to deliver earnings growth, increase free cash flow conversion, maintain strong returns on capital, and create durable long-term value for shareholders.

Previous report
Management expects that results will continue to benefit from our mutually-reinforcing business system, which includes a mix of businesses that complement each other to provide competitive advantages, earnings diversification and capital benefits from a balanced risk profile. We believe we are well-positioned to tap into market opportunities to meet the evolving needs of our clients and society at large. Our mix of high-quality protection, retirement and investment management businesses enables us to offer solutions that cover a broad range of financial needs and to engage with our clients through multiple channels.
Previous report
As part of our continuous improvement process, we are working to become a leaner and more agile company by simplifying our management structure, empowering our employees with faster decision-making processes and investing in technology and data platforms. We expect these ongoing actions will create operating efficiencies, and provide reinvestment capacity to build capabilities, realize additional efficiencies, strengthen our competitiveness and fuel future growth.

Previous wording
The suspension of sales resulted in an estimated reduction of $130 million in International Businesses’ pre-tax adjusted operating income for the first quarter of 2026. We estimate that the suspension of new sales as extended will result in a reduction of pre-tax adjusted operating income in the range of $525 to $575 million for 2026, inclusive of the first quarter impact, and in the range of $400 to $450 million for 2027, reflecting remediation costs associated with sustaining the business, one-time and other operating costs, and lower earnings attributable to the gradual ramp-up of new sales after sales resume. Should the suspension of new sales activities extend beyond November 2026, we estimate that International Businesses’ pre-tax adjusted operating income would be reduced by $50 to $60 million per each additional month. We do not expect a material impact to capital, Economic Solvency Ratios (“ESR”) or cash flows. It is also possible that reputational and other harm resulting from or in connection with this matter will negatively impact our other businesses in Japan beyond Prudential of Japan. We are proactively reviewing the sales practices of Gibraltar Life Insurance Company, which distributes its products through life consultants and independent agencies. Actual results may differ materially from these preliminary expectations, as covered under “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Previous wording
As a result, we implemented a structure in certain of our Japanese 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 $0.8 billion and $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 $0.8 billion balance as of March 31, 2026 will be recognized throughout the remainder of 2026, approximately 3% will be recognized in 2027, and the remaining balance will be recognized from 2028 through 2051.
