1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential Financial”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Prudential” or the “Company”) provide a wide range of insurance, investment management, and other financial products and services to both individual and institutional customers throughout the United States and in many other countries. Principal products and services provided include life insurance, annuities, retirement solutions, mutual funds and investment management.

In October 2021, the Company announced the creation of Retirement Strategies, a new U.S. business that would serve the retirement needs of both its institutional and individual customers by bringing the institutional investment and pension solutions offered through the Retirement business together with the financial solutions and capabilities of the Individual Annuities business. As of the second quarter of 2022, this new structure has been fully operationalized; therefore, the results of the former Retirement segment (now known as the “Institutional Retirement Strategies” operating segment) and the former Individual Annuities segment (now known as the “Individual Retirement Strategies” operating segment) have been aggregated into the Retirement Strategies segment. Prior periods have been updated to conform to this new presentation.

Consequently, the Company’s principal operations now consist of PGIM (the Company’s global investment management business), the U.S. Businesses (consisting of the Retirement Strategies, Group Insurance, Individual Life and Assurance IQ businesses), the International Businesses, the Closed Block division, and the Company’s Corporate and Other operations. The Closed Block division is accounted for as a divested business that is reported separately from the Divested and Run-off Businesses that are included in Corporate and Other operations. Divested and Run-off Businesses consist of businesses that have been, or will be, sold or exited, including businesses that have been placed in wind-down status that do not qualify for “discontinued operations” accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP. The Company’s Corporate and Other operations include corporate items and initiatives that are not allocated to business segments as well as the Divested and Run-off Businesses described above.

Basis of Presentation

The Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Prudential Financial, entities over which the Company exercises control, including majority-owned subsidiaries and minority-owned entities such as limited partnerships in which the Company is the general partner and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. See Note 4 for additional information on the Company’s consolidated variable interest entities. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The most significant estimates include those used in determining deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) and related amortization; policyholders’ account balances related to the fair value of embedded derivative instruments associated with the index-linked features of certain universal life and annuity products; value of business acquired (“VOBA”) and its amortization; amortization of deferred sales inducements (“DSI”); measurement of goodwill and any related impairment; valuation of investments including derivatives, measurement of allowance for credit losses, and the recognition of other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”); future policy benefits including guarantees; pension and other postretirement benefits; provision for

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

income taxes and valuation of deferred tax assets; and accruals for contingent liabilities, including estimates for losses in connection with unresolved legal and regulatory matters.

Out of Period Adjustments

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company recorded out of period adjustments within the Individual Life business, resulting in an aggregate net benefit of $125 million to “Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of operating joint ventures” for the second quarter of 2022. The adjustments included (i) a $230 million benefit from a reduction to cost of reinsurance liabilities related to universal and variable life products; (ii) an $80 million net benefit from a reduction in reserves, partially offset by an increase in cost of reinsurance liabilities, for certain universal and variable universal life products; and (iii) a $185 million charge from an increase in reserves for certain universal life insurance products.

The impact of these out of period adjustments, individually and in the aggregate, was not material to any previously reported quarterly or annual financial statements and is not expected to be material to the 2022 annual financial statements. See Note 13 for additional information on the impact of these adjustments to the Company’s operating segments.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

COVID-19

Since the first quarter of 2020, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has resulted in extreme stress and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. While markets subsequently rebounded, the pandemic has adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Due to the highly uncertain nature of these conditions, it is not possible to estimate the ultimate impacts at this time. The risks have manifested, and may continue to manifest, in the Company’s financial statements in the areas of, among others, (i) insurance liabilities and related balances: potential changes to assumptions regarding investment returns, mortality, morbidity and policyholder behavior which are reflected in our insurance liabilities and certain related balances (e.g., DAC, VOBA, etc.) and; (ii) investments: increased risk of loss on our investments due to default or deterioration in credit quality or value. The Company cannot predict what impact the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately have on its businesses.

Business Dispositions

Prudential Annuities Life Assurance Corporation, Representing a Portion of Individual Annuities’ Traditional Variable Annuity Block of Business

On April 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of Prudential Annuities Life Assurance Corporation (“PALAC”), a wholly owned subsidiary, representing a portion of its in-force traditional variable annuity block of business, to Fortitude Group Holdings, LLC (“Fortitude”). The PALAC block primarily consisted of non-New York traditional variable annuities with guaranteed living benefits that were issued prior to 2011, which constituted approximately $30 billion of Prudential’s total in-force individual annuity account values at the closing of the transaction. The Company, through co-insurance and modified co-insurance agreements, has retained the results of certain variable annuities, indexed annuities, and fixed annuities with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal income feature issued by PALAC.

The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $852 million in the second quarter of 2022 within “Other income”. The gain is included in adjusted operating income within the Retirement Strategies segment.

The economics of approximately $1.7 billion of commercial mortgage and other loans and fixed maturities, available-for-sale, held by PALAC, have been transferred to Fortitude via participation agreements. The Company has retained legal ownership and control over the participated assets, and they cannot be freely pledged or exchanged by Fortitude. This transfer did not meet the requirements of sale accounting and is therefore accounted for as a secured borrowing. As a result, these assets continue to be reported on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position along with the recognition of a corresponding secured borrowing liability in “Other liabilities”.

Full Service Retirement Business

On April 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Full Service Retirement business to Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“Great-West”), primarily through a combination of (i) the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of certain legal entities, including Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (“PRIAC”); (ii) the ceding of certain insurance policies through reinsurance; and (iii) the sale, transfer and/or novation of certain in-scope contracts and brokerage accounts.

The Company recognized a net pre-tax gain of $690 million in the second quarter of 2022, composed of (i) an $890 million gain recorded in “Other income”; (ii) $150 million of realized losses recorded in “Realized investment gains (losses), net”, related to assets transferred as part of the reinsurance of certain retained policies to Great-West; and (iii) $50 million of indirect expenses and charges recorded in “General and administrative expenses” on the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations. The net gain is excluded from adjusted operating income and reported within Divested Businesses as part of Corporate and Other operations. In addition, the Company recognized a deferred gain of $495 million for the ceding of certain insurance policies through reinsurance to Great-West, which will be recognized in income over the term of the ceded policies. The transaction agreement includes a post-closing adjustment provision. Any such adjustment will be finalized by the fourth quarter of 2022 and could impact the amount of the pre-tax gain referred to above. The Company does not expect that any such adjustment will have a material impact on the Company’s results.

Excluding the gain on sale recognized in the second quarter of 2022, the Full Service Retirement business generated pre-tax income/(loss) of $0 million and ($206) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $84 million and $99 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. These amounts exclude the impact of overhead costs retained in the Company’s Corporate and Other operations and not transferred to Great-West.

The assets and liabilities of both the Full Service Retirement business and PALAC were classified as held-for-sale prior to completion of these dispositions. The table below reflects their carrying amounts as of December 31, 2021:

The Prudential Life Insurance Company of Taiwan Inc.

In June 2021, Prudential International Insurance Holdings, Ltd. (“PIIH”), a subsidiary of Prudential Financial, completed the sale of The Prudential Life Insurance Company of Taiwan Inc. (“POT”) to Taishin Financial Holding Co, Ltd. (the “Buyer”) for cash consideration of approximately NT5.5 billion, equal to approximately $200 million at then current exchange rates, and contingent consideration with a fair value of approximately $97 million as of June 30, 2022. The fair value of the contingent consideration is tied to the level of yields for the 10-year Taiwanese Government bond for two years after the signing of the transaction and can result in a maximum payout of $100 million if yields increase by 40 basis points. In connection with the transaction, the Company recognized a liability with a fair value of approximately $33 million as of June 30, 2022, representing its financial guarantee of certain insurance obligations of POT.

The after-tax loss on the sale of POT was approximately $400 million, of which approximately $350 million was recorded during 2020, and approximately $50 million was recorded during 2021.

Prior to the sale, in the third quarter of 2020, the Company transferred the results of POT and the anticipated impact of its sale from the International Businesses segment to Divested and Run-off Businesses within Corporate & Other operations. Prior period amounts were restated at that time, which impacted both segment reporting and adjusted operating income, but did not impact results reported under GAAP.

Pramerica SGR (PGIM Italy Joint Venture)

In March 2021, the Company sold its 35% ownership stake in Pramerica SGR, PGIM’s asset management joint venture in Italy, to its partner UBI Banca, which was acquired in 2020 by Intesa Sanpaolo Group. The after-tax gain on the sale of Pramerica SGR was approximately $330 million, which was recognized in adjusted operating income in the first quarter of 2021.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs listed below include those that have been adopted during the current fiscal year and/or those that have been issued but not yet adopted as of June 30, 2022, and as of the date of this filing. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or not material.

ASU issued but not yet adopted as of June 30, 2022 — ASU 2018-12

ASU 2018-12, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts, was issued by the FASB on August 15, 2018, and was amended by ASU 2019-09, Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Effective Date, issued in October 2019, and ASU 2020-11, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Effective Date and Early Application, issued in November 2020. The Company will adopt ASU 2018-12 effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective transition method where permitted, and apply the guidance as of January 1, 2021 (and record transition adjustments as of January 1, 2021) in the 2023 financial statements.

The Company has an established governance framework to manage the implementation of the standard. The Company’s implementation efforts continue to progress including, but not limited to, implementing refinements to key accounting policy decisions, modifications to actuarial valuation models, updates to data sourcing capabilities, automation of key financial reporting and analytical processes and updates to internal control over financial reporting.

ASU 2018-12 will impact, at least to some extent, the accounting and disclosure requirements for all long-duration insurance and investment contracts issued by the Company. The Company expects the standard to have a significant financial impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and will significantly increase disclosures. As of the January 1, 2021 transition date, the Company estimates that the implementation of the standard will result in a decrease to “Retained earnings” of approximately $2 billion to $3 billion primarily from reclassifying the cumulative effect of changes in non-performance risk from “Retained earnings” to “Accumulated other comprehensive income” (“AOCI”) and other changes in reserves, and will result in a decrease to AOCI of approximately $40 billion to $45 billion primarily from remeasuring in-force contract liabilities using upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yields as of the transition date. As of December 31, 2021, these estimates decline to a decrease to “Retained earnings” of approximately $1 billion to $2 billion and a decrease to AOCI of approximately $28 billion to $33 billion primarily due to the increase in interest rates during 2021. In addition to the impacts to the balance sheet, the Company also expects an impact to the pattern of earnings emergence following the transition date. Outlined below are four key areas of change, although there are other less significant policy changes not noted below.

ASU 2018-12 Amended Topic

Description

Method of adoption

Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters

Cash flow assumptions used to measure the liability for future policy benefits for non-participating traditional and limited-pay insurance products

Requires an entity to review and, if necessary, update the cash flow assumptions used to measure the liability for future policy benefits, for both changes in future assumptions and actual experience, at least annually using a retrospective update method with a cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded in a separate line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

An entity may choose one of two adoption methods for the liability for future policy benefits: (1) a modified retrospective transition method whereby the entity may choose to apply the amendments to contracts in force as of the beginning of the prior year (if early adoption is elected) or as of the beginning of the earliest period presented on the basis of their existing carrying amounts, adjusted for the removal of any related amounts in AOCI or (2) a full retrospective transition method.

The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective transition method. As a result of the modified retrospective transition method, the Company expects the vast majority of the impact of updating cash flow assumptions as of the transition date to be reflected in the pattern of earnings in subsequent periods. The Company also expects some decrease to “Retained earnings” upon adoption from cash flow assumption updates isolated to the impact on certain issue year cohorts.

Discount rate assumption used to measure the liability for future policy benefits for non-participating traditional and limited-pay insurance products

Requires discount rate assumptions to be based on an upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yield, which will be updated each quarter with the impact recorded through OCI. An entity shall maximize the use of relevant observable information and minimize the use of unobservable information in determining the discount rate assumptions.

As noted above, an entity may choose either a modified retrospective transition method or full retrospective transition method for the liability for future policy benefits. Under either method, for balance sheet remeasurement purposes, the liability for future policy benefits will be remeasured using current discount rates as of either the beginning of the prior year (if early adoption is elected) or the beginning of the earliest period presented with the impact recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to AOCI.

As noted above, the Company will adopt the guidance for the liability for future policy benefits effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company expects a decrease to AOCI as a result of remeasuring in-force contract liabilities using upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yields as of the adoption date. The adjustment will largely reflect the difference between discount rates locked-in at contract inception versus discount rates as of the adoption date.

ASU 2018-12 Amended Topic

Description

Method of adoption

Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) and other balances

Requires DAC and other balances, such as unearned revenue reserves and DSI, to be amortized on a constant level basis over the expected term of the related contract, independent of expected profitability.

An entity may apply one of two adoption methods: (1) a modified retrospective transition method whereby the entity may choose to apply the amendments to contracts in force as of the beginning of the prior year (if early adoption is elected) or as of the beginning of the earliest period presented on the basis of their existing carrying amounts, adjusted for the removal of any related amounts in AOCI or (2) if an entity chooses a full retrospective transition method for its liability for future policy benefits, as described above, it is required to also use a full retrospective transition method for DAC and other balances.

The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective transition method. Under the modified retrospective transition method, the Company does not expect a significant impact to the balance sheet, other than the impact of the removal of any related amounts in AOCI.

Market Risk Benefits (“MRB”)

Requires an entity to measure all market risk benefits (e.g., living benefit and death benefit guarantees associated with variable annuities) at fair value, and record MRB assets and liabilities separately on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Changes in fair value of market risk benefits are recorded in net income, except for the portion of the change in MRB liabilities attributable to changes in an entity’s NPR, which is recognized in OCI.

An entity shall adopt the guidance for market risk benefits using the retrospective transition method, which includes a cumulative effect adjustment on the balance sheet as of either the beginning of prior year (if early adoption is elected) or the beginning of the earliest period presented. An entity shall maximize the use of relevant observable information and minimize the use of unobservable information in determining the balance of the market risk benefits upon adoption.

The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2023 using the retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, the Company expects a decrease to “Retained earnings” and offsetting increase to AOCI from reclassifying the cumulative effect of changes in NPR from retained earnings to AOCI. There will also be an impact to “Retained earnings” for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of benefits not currently measured at fair value (e.g., guaranteed minimum death benefits on variable annuities).

ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosure

This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”) for creditors and adds enhanced disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Following adoption of the ASU, all loan refinancings and restructurings are subject to the modification guidance in ASC 310-20.

This ASU also amends the guidance on the vintage disclosures to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination.

January 1, 2023 using the prospective method with an option to apply a modified retrospective transition method for the recognition and measurement of TDRs which will include a cumulative effect adjustment on the balance sheet in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2022, including adoption in an interim period provided guidance is applied as of the beginning of the year.

The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity available-for-sale securities without an allowance were composed of $22,624 million and $1,242 million, respectively, related to “1” highest quality or “2” high quality securities based on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) or equivalent rating and $2,264 million and $463 million, respectively, related to other than high or highest quality securities based on NAIC or equivalent rating. As of June 30, 2022, the $3,228 million of gross unrealized losses of twelve months or more were concentrated in the consumer non-cyclical, finance and utility sectors within corporate securities and foreign government securities. As of December 31, 2021, the $755 million of gross unrealized losses of twelve months or more were concentrated in consumer non-cyclical, utility and finance sectors within corporate securities.

In accordance with its policy described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company concluded that an adjustment to earnings for credit losses related to these fixed maturity securities was not warranted at June 30, 2022. This conclusion was based on a detailed analysis of the underlying credit and cash flows on each security. Gross unrealized losses are primarily attributable to increases in interest rates, general credit spread widening, foreign currency exchange rate movements and the financial condition or near-term prospects of the issuer. As of June 30, 2022, the Company did not intend to sell these securities, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis.

The following table sets forth the amortized cost or amortized cost, net of allowance and fair value of fixed maturities by contractual maturities, as of the date indicated:

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. Asset-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and residential mortgage-backed securities are shown separately in the table above, as they do not have a single maturity date.

The following table sets forth the sources of fixed maturity proceeds and related investment gains (losses), as well as losses on write-downs and the allowance for credit losses of fixed maturities, for the periods indicated:

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the net decrease in the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities was primarily related to net reductions in the communications, foreign agencies and utility sectors within corporate securities, partially offset by a net addition within the capital goods sector. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the net decrease in the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities was primarily related to the improving credit environment within the consumer cyclical, energy and communication sectors within corporate securities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the net decrease in the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities was primarily related to net reductions in the communications and transportation sectors within corporate securities, partially offset by net additions in the capital goods and utility sectors. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the net decrease in the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities was primarily related to the improving credit environment within the energy and consumer cyclical sectors within corporate securities.

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of certain VIEs for which it is the investment manager. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss resulting from its relationship with unconsolidated VIEs for which it is the investment manager is limited to its investment in the VIEs, which was $906 million and $997 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These investments are reflected in “Fixed maturities, available-for-sale,” “Fixed maturities, trading,” “Equity securities” and “Other invested assets.” There are no liabilities associated with these unconsolidated VIEs on the Company’s Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

In the normal course of its activities, the Company will invest in limited partnerships and limited liability companies (“LPs/LLCs”), which include hedge funds, private equity funds and real estate-related funds and may or may not be VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these investments, both VIEs and non-VIEs, is limited to the amount of its investment. The Company classifies these investments as “Other invested assets” and its maximum exposure to loss associated with these entities was $16,771 million as of June 30, 2022, and $15,966 million as of December 31, 2021, excluding “Assets held-for-sale.”

In addition, in the normal course of its activities, the Company will invest in structured investments including VIEs for which it is not the investment manager. These structured investments typically invest in fixed income investments and are managed by third-parties and include asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and residential mortgage-backed securities. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these structured investments, both VIEs and non-VIEs, is limited to the amount of its investment. See Note 3 for details regarding the carrying amounts and classification of these assets. The Company has not provided material financial or other support that was not contractually required to these structures. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these structures due to the fact that it does not control these entities.

Primary Risks Managed by Derivatives

The table below provides a summary of the gross notional amount and fair value of derivatives contracts by the primary underlying risks, excluding embedded derivatives and associated reinsurance recoverables. Many derivative instruments contain multiple underlying risks. The fair value amounts below represent the value of derivative contracts prior to taking into account of the netting effects of master netting agreements and cash collateral. This netting impact results in total derivative assets of $2,318 million and $3,266 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and total derivative liabilities of $1,857 million and $2,278 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, reflected in the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

(1)There were no material fair value hedging adjustments for hedged assets and liabilities for which hedge accounting has been discontinued.

Most of the Company’s derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting for various reasons. For example: (i) derivatives that economically hedge embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting because changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are already recorded in net income; (ii) derivatives that are utilized as macro hedges of the Company’s exposure to various risks typically do not qualify for hedge accounting because they do not meet the criteria required under portfolio hedge accounting rules; and (iii) synthetic GICs, which are product standalone derivatives, do not qualify as hedging instruments under hedge accounting rules.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

The following table presents recognized derivative instruments (excluding embedded derivatives and associated reinsurance recoverables), and repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements that are offset in the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and/or are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

For information regarding the rights of offset associated with the derivative assets and liabilities in the table above, see “—Counterparty Credit Risk” below. For securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the Company monitors the value of the securities and maintains collateral, as appropriate, to protect against credit exposure. Where the Company has entered into repurchase and resale agreements with the same counterparty, in the event of default, the Company would generally be permitted to exercise rights of offset. For additional information on the Company’s accounting policy for securities repurchase and resale agreements, see Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Cash Flow, Fair Value and Net Investment Hedges

The primary derivative and non-derivative instruments used by the Company in its fair value, cash flow and net investment hedge accounting relationships are interest rate swaps, currency swaps, currency forwards, and foreign currency denominated debts. These instruments are only designated for hedge accounting in instances where the appropriate criteria are met. The Company does not use futures, options, credit, or equity derivatives in any of its fair value, cash flow or net investment hedge accounting relationships.

The following table provides the financial statement classification and impact of derivatives used in qualifying and non-qualifying hedge relationships, including the offset of the hedged item in fair value hedge relationships.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Presented below is a rollforward of current period cash flow hedges in AOCI before taxes:


	(in millions)
Balance, December 31, 2021	$	1,019
Amount recorded in AOCI:
Interest Rate	(139)
Currency	148
Currency/Interest Rate	2,074
Total amount recorded in AOCI	2,083
Amount reclassified from AOCI to income:
Interest Rate	5
Currency	(4)
Currency/Interest Rate	(657)
Total amount reclassified from AOCI to income	(656)
Balance, June 30, 2022	$	2,446

The changes in fair value of cash flow hedges are deferred in AOCI and are included in “Net unrealized investment gains (losses)” in the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income; these amounts are then reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Using June 30, 2022 values, it is estimated that a pre-tax gain of approximately $289 million is expected to be reclassified from AOCI to earnings during the subsequent twelve months ending June 30, 2023.

The exposures the Company is hedging with these qualifying cash flow hedges include the variability of future cash flows from forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies, the purchases of invested assets, and the receipt or payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments. The maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 29 years.

There were no material amounts reclassified from AOCI into earnings relating to instances in which the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting because the forecasted transaction did not occur by the anticipated date or within the additional time period permitted by the authoritative guidance for the accounting for derivatives and hedging. In addition, there were no instances in which the Company discontinued fair value hedge accounting due to a hedged firm commitment no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge.

For net investment hedges, in addition to derivatives, the Company uses foreign currency denominated debt to hedge the risk of change in the net investment in a foreign subsidiary due to changes in exchange rates. For effective net investment hedges, the amounts, before applicable taxes, recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment within AOCI were $123 million and $141 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $(10) million and $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Credit Derivatives

The following table provides a summary of the notional and fair value of written credit protection, presented as assets (liabilities). The Company’s maximum amount at risk under these credit derivatives, assuming the value of the underlying referenced securities become worthless, is equal to the notional amounts. These credit derivatives have maturities of less than 25 years for Index Reference.

(1)The NAIC rating designations are based on availability and the lowest ratings among Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”). If no rating is available from a rating agency, a NAIC 6 rating is used.

(2)Single name credit default swaps may reference to the credit of corporate debt, sovereign debt, and structured finance. Index references NAIC designations are based on the lowest rated single name reference included in the index.

(3)Excludes “Assets held-for-sale” with fair value of $54 million as of December 31, 2021 and “Liabilities held-for-sale” with fair value of $0 million as of December 31, 2021, with an outstanding notional amount of $1,971 million as of December 31, 2021. See Note 1 for additional information.

In addition to writing credit protection, the Company has purchased credit protection using credit derivatives in order to hedge specific credit exposures in the Company’s investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $210 million and $115 million of outstanding notional amounts and reported at fair value as an asset of $6 million and a liability of $1 million, respectively.

Counterparty Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial derivative transactions with a positive fair value. The Company manages credit risk by: (i) entering into derivative transactions with highly rated major financial institutions and other creditworthy counterparties governed by master netting agreements, as applicable; (ii) trading through central clearing and over-the-counter (“OTC”) parties; (iii) obtaining collateral, such as cash and securities, when appropriate; and (iv) setting limits on single party credit exposures which are subject to periodic management review.

Substantially all of the Company’s derivative agreements have zero thresholds which require daily full collateralization by the party in a liability position. In addition, certain of the Company’s derivative agreements contain credit-risk related contingent features; if the credit rating of one of the parties to the derivative agreement is to fall below a certain level, the party with positive fair value could request termination at the then fair value or demand immediate full collateralization from the party whose credit rating fell and is in a net liability position.

As of June 30, 2022, there were no net liability derivative positions with counterparties with credit risk-related contingent features. All derivatives have been appropriately collateralized by the Company or the counterparty in accordance with the terms of the derivative agreements.

6. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Fair Value Measurement—Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative fair value guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1—Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Fair value is based on significant inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, and other market observable inputs.

Level 3—Fair value is based on at least one significant unobservable input for the asset or liability. The assets and liabilities in this category may require significant judgment or estimation in determining the fair value.

For a discussion of Company’s valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the fair value hierarchy, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(1)Conversely, the impact of a decrease in input would have the opposite impact on fair value as that presented in the table.

(2)Includes assets classified as fixed maturities available-for-sale, assets supporting experience-rated contractholder liabilities and fixed maturities trading.

(3)Excludes notes which have been offset with the associated payables under a netting agreement.

(4)Represents multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and are amounts used when the Company has determined that market participants would use such multiples when valuing the investments.

(5)For these investments, a range of discount rates is typically used (10% to 20%) and is therefore a more meaningful representation of the unobservable inputs used in the valuation rather than weighted average.

(6)Changes in the fair value of separate account assets are borne by customers and thus are offset by changes in separate account liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As a result, changes in value associated with these investments are not reflected in the Company’s Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(7)Future policy benefits primarily represent general account liabilities for the living benefit features of the Company’s variable annuity contracts which are accounted for as embedded derivatives. Since the valuation methodology for these liabilities uses a range of inputs that vary at the contract level over the cash flow projection period, presenting a range, rather than weighted average, is a more meaningful representation of the unobservable inputs used in the valuation.

(8)Policyholders’ account balances primarily represent general account liabilities for the index-linked interest credited on certain of the Company’s life and annuity products that are accounted for as embedded derivatives. Since the valuation methodology for these liabilities uses a range of inputs that vary at the contract level over the cash flow projection period, presenting a range, rather than weighted average, is a more meaningful representation of the unobservable inputs used in the valuation.

(9)Lapse rates for contracts with living benefit guarantees are adjusted at the contract level based on the in-the-moneyness of the living benefit and reflect other factors, such as the applicability of any surrender charges. Lapse rates are reduced when contracts are more in-the-money. Lapse rates for contracts with index-linked crediting guarantees may be adjusted at the contract level based on the applicability of any surrender charges, product type, and market

Table of Contents

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

related factors such as interest rates. Lapse rates are also generally assumed to be lower for the period where surrender charges apply. For any given contract, lapse rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for the purposes of valuing these embedded derivatives.

(10)The spread over the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) swap curve and the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) swap curve represents the premium added to the proxy for the risk-free rate (SOFR or LIBOR, as applicable) to reflect the Company’s estimates of rates that a market participant would use to value the living benefits in both the accumulation and payout phases and index-linked interest crediting guarantees as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. This spread includes an estimate of NPR, which is the risk that the obligation will not be fulfilled by the Company. NPR is primarily estimated by utilizing the credit spreads associated with issuing funding agreements, adjusted for any illiquidity risk premium. In order to reflect the financial strength ratings of the Company, credit spreads associated with funding agreements, as opposed to credit spread associated with debt, are utilized in developing this estimate because funding agreements, living benefit guarantees, and index-linked interest crediting guarantees are insurance liabilities and are therefore senior to debt.

(11)The utilization rate assumption estimates the percentage of contracts that will utilize the benefit during the contract duration and begin lifetime withdrawals at various time intervals from contract inception. The remaining contractholders are assumed to either begin lifetime withdrawals immediately or never utilize the benefit. Utilization assumptions may vary by product type, tax status and age. The impact of changes in these assumptions is highly dependent on the product type, the age of the contractholder at the time of the sale and the timing of the first lifetime income withdrawal. Range reflects the utilization rate for the vast majority of business with living benefits.

(12)The withdrawal rate assumption estimates the magnitude of annual contractholder withdrawals relative to the maximum allowable amount under the contract. These assumptions vary based on the age of the contractholder, the tax status of the contract and the duration since the contractholder began lifetime withdrawals. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the minimum withdrawal rate assumption is 77% and 76% respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the maximum withdrawal rate assumption may be greater than 100%. The fair value of the liability will generally increase the closer the withdrawal rate is to 100% and decrease as the withdrawal rate moves further away from 100%.

(13)The range reflects the mortality rates for the vast majority of business with living benefits and other contracts, with policyholders ranging from 45 to 90 years old. While the majority of living benefits have a minimum age requirement, certain other contracts do not have an age restriction. This results in contractholders with mortality rates approaching 0% for certain benefits. Mortality rates may vary by product, age, and duration. A mortality improvement assumption is also incorporated into the overall mortality table.

Interrelationships Between Unobservable Inputs—In addition to the sensitivities of fair value measurements to changes in each unobservable input in isolation, as reflected in the table above, interrelationships between these inputs may also exist, such that a change in one unobservable input may give rise to a change in another or multiple inputs. Examples of such interrelationships for significant internally-priced Level 3 assets and liabilities are as follows:

Corporate Securities—The rate used to discount future cash flows reflects current risk-free rates plus credit and liquidity spread requirements that market participants would use to value an asset. The discount rate may be influenced by many factors, including market cycles, expectations of default, collateral, term, and asset complexity. Each of these factors can influence discount rates, either in isolation, or in response to other factors. During weaker economic cycles, as the expectations of default increases, credit spreads widen, which results in a decrease in fair value.

Asset-Backed Securities—Interrelationships may exist between the prepayment rate, the default rate and/or loss severity, depending on specific market conditions. In stronger economic cycles, prepayment rates are generally driven by overall market interest rates and accompanied by lower default rates and loss severity. During weaker economic cycles, prepayments may decline, as default rates and loss severity increase. Additionally, the impact of these factors on average life varies with the structure and subordination. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default would have been accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.

Future Policy Benefits—The Company expects efficient benefit utilization and withdrawal rates to generally be correlated with lapse rates. However, behavior is highly dependent on the facts and circumstances surrounding the individual contractholder, such as their liquidity needs or tax situation, which could drive lapse behavior independent of other contractholder behavior assumptions. To the extent that more efficient contractholder behavior results in greater in-the-moneyness at the contract level, lapse rates may decline for those contracts. Similarly, to the extent that increases in equity volatility are correlated with overall declines in the capital markets, lapse rates may decline as contracts become more in-the-money.

Changes in Level 3 Assets and Liabilities—The following tables describe changes in fair values of Level 3 assets and liabilities as of the dates indicated, as well as the portion of gains or losses included in income attributable to unrealized gains or losses related to those assets and liabilities still held at the end of their respective periods. When a determination is made to classify assets and liabilities within Level 3, the determination is based on significance of the unobservable inputs in the overall fair value measurement. All transfers are based on changes in the observability of the valuation inputs, including the availability of pricing service information that the Company can validate. Transfers into Level 3 are generally the result of unobservable inputs utilized within valuation methodologies and the use of indicative broker quotes for assets that were previously valued using observable inputs. Transfers out of Level 3 are generally due to the use of observable inputs in valuation methodologies as well as the availability of pricing service information for certain assets that the Company can validate.

__________

(1)“Other,” includes additional activity not allocated to the specific categories within the rollforward of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities, such as the increase in Policyholders’ account balances for the period ended June 30, 2022, which is driven by the Company’s reinsurance of certain annuity products issued by the sold PALAC entity. See Note 1 for additional information.

(2)Unrealized gains or losses related to assets still held at the end of the period do not include amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts.

(3)Includes U.S. corporate public, U.S. corporate private, foreign corporate public and foreign corporate private securities.

(4)Includes asset-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and residential mortgage-backed securities.

(5)Separate account assets represent segregated funds that are invested for certain customers. Investment risks associated with market value changes are borne by the customers, except to the extent of minimum guarantees made by the Company with respect to certain accounts. Separate account liabilities are not included in the above table as they are reported at contract value and not fair value in the Company’s Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

(6)Issuances and settlements for Policyholders’ account balances are presented net in the rollforward.

(7)Effective January 1, 2020, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period were added prospectively due to adoption of ASU 2018-13.

(1)Total realized and unrealized gains (losses) as well as unrealized gains (losses) for assets still held at the end of the period are recorded in “Realized investment gains (losses), net”.

(2)Transfers into or out of Level 3 are generally reported at the value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the transfers occur for any such positions still held at the end of the quarter.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements—The following tables represent information for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value measurement is nonrecurring as these assets are measured at fair value only when there is a triggering event (e.g., an evidence of impairment). Assets included in the table are those that were impaired during the respective reporting periods and that are still held as of the reporting date. The estimated fair values for these amounts were determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

(1)Mortgage servicing rights are valued using a discounted cash flow model. The model incorporates assumptions for servicing revenues, which are adjusted for expected prepayments, delinquency rates, escrow deposit income and estimated loan servicing expenses. The discount rates incorporated into the model are determined based on the estimated returns a market participant would require for this business including a liquidity and risk premium. This estimate includes available relevant data from any active market sales of mortgage servicing rights.

(2)Based on the goodwill impairment test performed as of December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge for Assurance IQ. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for more information on the valuation of Assurance IQ and the resulting impairment charge.

Fair Value Option

The fair value option allows the Company to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets and financial liabilities not otherwise reported at fair value. Such elections have been made by the Company to help mitigate volatility in earnings that result from different measurement attributes. Electing the fair value option also allows the Company to achieve consistent accounting for certain assets and liabilities. Changes in fair value are reflected in “Realized investment gains (losses), net” for commercial mortgage and other loans and “Other income (loss)” for other assets and notes issued by consolidated VIEs. Changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk are estimated using changes in credit spreads and quality ratings for the period reported. Interest income on commercial mortgage and other loans is included in “Net investment income.” Interest income on these loans is recorded based on the effective interest rate as determined at the closing of the loan.

The following tables present information regarding assets and liabilities where the fair value option has been elected.

7. CLOSED BLOCK

On December 18, 2001, the date of demutualization, The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”) established a closed block for certain in-force participating insurance policies and annuity products, along with corresponding assets used for the payment of benefits and policyholders’ dividends on these products, (collectively the “Closed Block”), and ceased offering these participating products. The recorded assets and liabilities were allocated to the Closed Block at their historical carrying amounts. The Closed Block forms the principal component of the Closed Block division. For additional information on the Closed Block, see Note 15 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a policyholder dividend obligation of $3,734 million and $4,387 million, respectively, to Closed Block policyholders for the excess of actual cumulative earnings over expected cumulative earnings. Additionally, accumulated net unrealized investment gains (losses) that have arisen subsequent to the establishment of the Closed Block have been reflected as a policyholder dividend obligation of $(2,172) million and $3,640 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, with a corresponding amount reported in AOCI.

8. INCOME TAXES

The Company uses a full year projected effective tax rate approach to calculate year-to-date taxes. In determining the full year projected tax rate, the Company considers the realizability of deferred tax assets, including those associated with unrealized investment losses, and has determined based upon the weight of available evidence that no valuation allowance is necessary related to unrealized investment losses. In addition, certain items impacting total income tax expense are recorded in the periods in which they occur. The projected effective tax rate is the ratio of projected “Total income tax expense” divided by projected “Income before income taxes and equity in earnings of operating joint ventures.” Taxes attributable to operating joint ventures are recorded within “Equity in earnings of operating joint ventures, net of taxes.” The interim period tax expense (or benefit) is the difference between the year-to-date income tax provision and the amounts reported for the previous interim periods of the fiscal year.

The Company’s income tax provision, on a consolidated basis, amounted to an income tax benefit of $(58) million, or 9.3% of income (loss) before income taxes and equity in earnings of operating joint ventures, in the first six months of 2022, compared to an income tax expense of $1,245 million, or 20.1%, in the first six months of 2021. The Company’s current and prior effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to non-taxable investment income, tax credits, foreign earnings taxed at higher rates than the U.S. statutory rate, and the items discussed below.

Foreign Tax Credit Regulations. The Treasury Department and the IRS published Final Regulations in the Federal Register on January 4, 2022, which affect the creditability of certain foreign taxes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Final Regulations create uncertainty as to whether a U.S. foreign tax credit may be claimed for taxes paid to Brazil. The ability to claim a foreign tax credit for taxes paid to Brazil impacts the benefit of the election made pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 952 to subject earnings from the Company’s insurance operations in Brazil to tax in the U.S. in the tax year earned, net of related foreign tax credits. Based on the Company’s analysis and current interpretation of the Final Regulations, a $26 million tax benefit is reflected as part of the Company’s results for the first six months of 2022. The Final Regulations are complex and have broad application that may also impact the creditability of taxes paid to other foreign jurisdictions, and their full impact to the Company is still being evaluated.

GILTI High Tax Exclusion. On July 20, 2020, the U.S. Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued Final Regulations which allows an annual election to exclude from the U.S. tax return certain GILTI amounts when the taxes paid by a foreign affiliate exceed 18.9% (90% of U.S. statutory rate of 21%) of the GILTI amount for that foreign affiliate (the “high-tax exception”). These regulations are effective for the 2021 taxable year with an election to apply to any taxable year beginning after 2017. In many of the countries in which the Company operates, including Japan, there are differences between local tax rules used to determine the tax base and the U.S. tax principles used to determine GILTI. Also, the Company’s Japan

Table of Contents

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

affiliates have a different tax year than the U.S. calendar tax year used to determine GILTI; therefore, while many of the countries, including Japan, have a statutory tax rate above the 18.9% threshold, separate affiliates may not meet the 18.9% threshold each year and, as such, may not qualify for this annual exclusion. The Company anticipates making the high-tax exception election for the 2021 and 2022 tax years and reflected the impact of the election in its full year projected effective tax rate used to calculate year-to-date taxes for the first six months of 2021 and 2022.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Pension and Other Postretirement Plans

The Company has funded and non-funded non-contributory defined benefit pension plans (“Pension Benefits”), which cover substantially all of its employees. For some employees, benefits are based on final average earnings and length of service (the “traditional formula”), while benefits for other employees are based on an account balance that takes into consideration age, length of service and earnings during their career (the “cash balance formula”).

(1)Represents net shares issued from treasury pursuant to the Company’s stock-based compensation programs.

In November 2021, Prudential Financial’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized the Company to repurchase at management’s discretion up to $1.5 billion of its outstanding Common Stock during the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, 6.9 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock were repurchased under this authorization at a total cost of $750 million.

The timing and amount of share repurchases are determined by management based upon market conditions and other considerations, and repurchases may be executed in the open market, through derivative, accelerated repurchase and other negotiated transactions and through prearranged trading plans complying with Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Numerous factors could affect the timing and amount of any future repurchases under the share repurchase authorization, including, but not limited to: compliance with laws, increased capital needs of the Company due to changes in regulatory capital requirements, opportunities for growth and acquisitions, and the effect of adverse market conditions.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations of Common Stock based on the consolidated earnings of Prudential Financial for the periods indicated is as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2022					2021
	Income		Weighted Average Shares	Per Share Amount		Income		Weighted Average Shares	Per Share Amount
	(in millions, except per share amounts)

__________

(1)For the three months ended June 30, 2022, weighted average shares for basic earnings per share is also used for calculating diluted earnings per share because dilutive shares and dilutive earnings per share are not applicable when a net loss is reported. As a result of the net loss attributable to Prudential Financial available to holders of Common Stock for the three months ended June 30, 2022, all potential stock options and compensation programs were considered antidilutive.

__________

(1)For the six months ended June 30, 2022, weighted average shares for basic earnings per share is also used for calculating diluted earnings per share because dilutive shares and dilutive earnings per share are not applicable when a net loss is reported. As a result of the net loss attributable to Prudential Financial available to holders of Common Stock for the three months ended June 30, 2022, all potential stock options and compensation programs were considered antidilutive.

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Under this method, earnings attributable to Prudential Financial are allocated between Common Stock and the participating awards, as if the awards were a second class of stock. During periods of net income available to holders of Common Stock, the calculation of earnings per share excludes the income attributable to participating securities in the numerator and the dilutive impact of these securities from the denominator. In the event of a net loss available to holders of Common Stock, undistributed earnings are not allocated to participating securities and the denominator excludes the dilutive impact of these securities as they do not share in the losses of the Company. Undistributed earnings allocated to participating unvested share-based payment awards for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, as applicable, were based on 4.9 million and 5.9 million of such awards, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, as applicable, were based on 5.0 million and 5.9 million of such awards, respectively, weighted for the period they were outstanding.

Stock options and shares related to deferred and long-term compensation programs that are considered antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Stock options are considered antidilutive based on application of the treasury stock method or in the event of a net loss available to holders of Common Stock. Shares related to deferred and long-term compensation programs are considered antidilutive in the event of a net loss available to holders of Common Stock. For the periods indicated, the number of stock options and shares related to deferred and long-term compensation programs that were considered antidilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding, are as follows:

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segments

In October 2021, we announced the creation of Retirement Strategies, a new U.S. business that would serve the retirement needs of both our institutional and individual customers by bringing the institutional investment and pension solutions offered through our Retirement business together with the financial solutions and capabilities of our Individual Annuities business. As of the second quarter of 2022, this new structure has been fully operationalized; therefore, the results of our former Retirement segment (now known as the “Institutional Retirement Strategies” operating segment) and our former Individual Annuities segment (now known as the “Individual Retirement Strategies” operating segment) have been aggregated into the Retirement Strategies segment. Prior periods have been updated to conform to this new presentation.

Adjusted Operating Income

The Company analyzes the operating performance of each segment using “adjusted operating income.” Adjusted operating income does not equate to “Income (loss) before income taxes and equity in earnings of operating joint ventures” or “Net income (loss)” as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP but is the measure of segment profit or loss used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources, and consistent with authoritative guidance, is the measure of segment performance presented below. Adjusted operating income is calculated by

Table of Contents

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

adjusting each segment’s “Income (loss) before income taxes and equity in earnings of operating joint ventures” for the following items:

•Realized investment gains (losses), net, and related adjustments;

•Charges related to realized investment gains (losses), net;

•Market experience updates;

•Divested and Run-off Businesses;

•Equity in earnings of operating joint ventures and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests; and

•Other adjustments.

These items are important to an understanding of overall results of operations. Adjusted operating income is not a substitute for income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the Company’s definition of adjusted operating income may differ from that used by other companies. The Company, however, believes that the presentation of adjusted operating income as measured for management purposes enhances the understanding of results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors of its businesses. For additional information on these reconciling items, see Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

As discussed in Note 1, during the second quarter of 2022, the Company recorded out of period adjustments within the Individual Life business resulting in an aggregate net benefit of $125 million to “Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of operating joint ventures” for the second quarter of 2022. These adjustments resulted in an aggregate $310 million benefit to the Company’s pre-tax adjusted operating income for the second quarter of 2022, reflected within the Individual Life segment.

Reconciliation of adjusted operating income to net income (loss)

Intersegment revenues

Management has determined the intersegment revenues with reference to market rates. Intersegment revenues are eliminated in consolidation in Corporate and Other operations. The PGIM segment revenues include intersegment revenues, primarily consisting of asset-based management and administration fees, as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(in millions)
PGIM segment intersegment revenues	$	201	$	226	$	433	$	449

Segments may also enter into internal derivative contracts with other segments. For adjusted operating income, each segment accounts for the internal derivative results consistent with the manner in which that segment accounts for other similar external derivatives.

Asset management and service fees

The table below presents asset management and service fees, predominantly related to investment management activities, for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(in millions)
Asset-based management fees	$	841	$	1,017	$	1,822	$	2,012

Total outstanding mortgage loan commitments(1)	$	2,493	$	2,300
Portion of commitment where prearrangement to sell to investor exists	$	1,071	$	1,102

__________

(1)Includes commitments of $21 million related to held-for-sale operations as of December 31, 2021. See Note 1 for additional information.

In connection with the Company’s commercial mortgage operations, it originates commercial mortgage loans. Commitments for loans that will be held for sale are recognized as derivatives and recorded at fair value. In certain of these transactions, the Company prearranges that it will sell the loan to an investor, including to government sponsored entities as discussed below, after the Company funds the loan. The above amount includes unfunded commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable. For related credit exposure, there was an allowance for credit losses of $1 million as of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The change in allowance is $0 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $0 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

__________

(1)Includes commitments of $118 million related to held-for-sale operations as of December 31, 2021. See Note 1 for additional information.

The Company has other commitments to purchase or fund investments, some of which are contingent upon events or circumstances not under the Company’s control, including those at the discretion of the Company’s counterparties. The Company anticipates a portion of these commitments will ultimately be funded from its separate accounts. The above amount includes unfunded commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable. There were no related charges for credit losses for either the three or six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.

Indemnification of Securities Lending and Securities Repurchase Transactions


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(in millions)
Indemnification provided to certain clients for securities lending and securities repurchase transactions(1)	$	6,386	$	6,499
Fair value of related collateral associated with above indemnifications(2)	$	6,524	$	6,635
Accrued liability associated with guarantee	$	0	$	0

__________

(1)Includes $74 million and $30 million related to securities repurchase transactions as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively

(2)Includes $74 million and $29 million related to securities repurchase transactions as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

In the normal course of business, the Company may facilitate securities lending or securities repurchase transactions on behalf of certain client accounts (collectively, “the accounts”). In certain of these arrangements, the Company has provided an indemnification to the accounts to hold them harmless against losses caused by counterparty (i.e., borrower) defaults associated with such transactions facilitated by the Company. In securities lending transactions, collateral is provided by the counterparty to the accounts at the inception of the transaction in an amount at least equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities and the collateral is maintained daily to equal at least 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. In securities repurchase transactions, collateral is provided by the counterparty to the accounts at the inception of the transaction in an amount at least equal to 95% of the fair value of the securities subject to repurchase and the collateral is maintained daily to equal at least 95% of the fair value of the securities subject to repurchase. The Company is only at risk if the counterparty to the transaction defaults and the value of the collateral held is less than the value of the securities loaned to, or subject to repurchase from, such counterparty. The Company believes the possibility of any payments under these indemnities is remote.

Credit Derivatives Written

As discussed further in Note 5, the Company writes credit derivatives under which the Company is obligated to pay the counterparty the referenced amount of the contract and receive in return the defaulted security or similar security.

Guarantees of Asset Values


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

Certain contracts underwritten by the Retirement Strategies segment include guarantees related to financial assets owned by the guaranteed party. These contracts are accounted for as derivatives and carried at fair value. The collateral supporting these guarantees is not reflected on the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Maximum exposure under indemnification agreements for mortgage loans serviced by the Company	$	2,876	$	2,930
First-loss exposure portion of above	$	836	$	854
Accrued liability associated with guarantees(1)	$	33	$	41

__________

(1)The accrued liability associated with guarantees includes an allowance for credit losses of $17 million and $20 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The change in allowance is a reduction of $1 million and $0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and a reduction for both six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 of $4 million and $1 million, respectively.

As part of the commercial mortgage activities of the Company’s PGIM segment, the Company provides commercial mortgage origination, underwriting and servicing for certain government sponsored entities, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Company has agreed to indemnify the government sponsored entities for a portion of the credit risk associated with certain of the mortgages it services through a delegated authority arrangement. Under these arrangements, the Company originates multi-family mortgages for sale to the government sponsored entities based on underwriting standards they specify, and makes payments to them for a specified percentage share of losses they incur on certain loans serviced by the Company. The Company’s percentage share of losses incurred generally varies from 4% to 20% of the loan balance, and is typically based on a first-loss exposure for a stated percentage of the loan balance, plus a shared exposure with the government sponsored entity for any losses in excess of the stated first-loss percentage, subject to a contractually specified maximum percentage. The Company determines the liability related to this exposure using historical loss experience, and the size and remaining life of the asset. The Company serviced $22,647 million and $22,963 million of mortgages subject to these loss-sharing arrangements as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, all of which are collateralized by first priority liens on the underlying multi-family residential properties. As of June 30, 2022, these mortgages had a weighted-average debt service coverage ratio of 1.96 times and a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of 62%. As of December 31, 2021, these mortgages had a weighted-average debt service coverage ratio of 1.93 times and a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of 63%. The Company had no losses related to indemnifications that were settled for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $1 million of losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Other Guarantees


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(in millions)
Other guarantees where amount can be determined	$	57	$	47
Accrued liability for other guarantees and indemnifications	$	33	$	34

The Company is also subject to other financial guarantees and indemnity arrangements. The Company has provided indemnities and guarantees related to acquisitions, dispositions, investments and other transactions that are triggered by, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by the Company. These obligations are typically subject to various time limitations, defined by the contract or by operation of law, such as statutes of limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation is subject to contractual limitations, while in other cases such limitations are not specified or applicable.

Since certain of these obligations are not subject to limitations, it is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount due under these guarantees. The accrued liability identified above relates to the sale of POT and represents a financial guarantee of certain insurance obligations of POT. See Note 1 for additional information regarding the sale.

Assurance IQ Contingent Consideration Liability

In October 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Assurance IQ. For additional information regarding the transaction, including the contingent consideration liability, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

The contingent consideration liability is reported at fair value, which is determined based on the present value of expected payments under the arrangement, using an internally-developed option pricing model based on a number of assumptions, including certain unobservable assumptions discounted at an estimated market interest rate. The fair value of the liability is updated each reporting period, with changes in fair value reported within “Other income.” The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was zero as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Contingent Liabilities

On an ongoing basis, the Company and its regulators review its operations including, but not limited to, sales and other customer interface procedures and practices, and procedures for meeting obligations to its customers and other parties. These reviews may result in the modification or enhancement of processes or the imposition of other action plans, including concerning management oversight, sales and other customer interface procedures and practices, and the timing or computation of payments to customers and other parties. In certain cases, if appropriate, the Company may offer customers or other parties remediation and may incur charges, including the cost of such remediation, administrative costs and regulatory fines.

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations of states and other jurisdictions concerning the identification, reporting and escheatment of unclaimed or abandoned funds, and is subject to audit and examination for compliance with these requirements.

It is possible that the results of operations or the cash flow of the Company in a particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected as a result of payments in connection with the matters discussed above or other matters depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flow for such period. Management believes, however, that ultimate payments in connection with these matters, after consideration of applicable reserves and rights to indemnification, should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of its businesses. Pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings relating to aspects of the Company’s businesses and operations that are specific to it and proceedings that are typical of the businesses in which it operates, including in both cases businesses that have been either divested or placed in wind-down status. Some of these proceedings have been brought on behalf of various alleged classes of complainants. In certain of these matters, the plaintiffs are seeking large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages. The outcome of litigation or a regulatory matter, and the amount or range of potential loss at any particular time, is often inherently uncertain.

The Company establishes accruals for litigation and regulatory matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. For litigation and regulatory matters where a loss may be reasonably possible, but not probable, or is probable but not reasonably estimable, no accrual is established but the matter, if potentially material, is disclosed, including matters discussed below. The Company estimates that as of June 30, 2022, the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accruals established for those litigation and regulatory matters for which such an estimate currently can be made is less than $250 million. Any estimate is not an indication of expected loss, if any, or the Company’s maximum possible loss exposure on such matters. The Company reviews relevant information with respect to its litigation and regulatory matters on a quarterly and annual basis and updates its accruals, disclosures and estimates of reasonably possible loss based on such reviews.

The following discussion of litigation and regulatory matters provides an update of those matters discussed in Note 23 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and should be read in conjunction with the complete descriptions provided in the Form 10-K.

Assurance IQ, LLC

William James Griffin, et al. v. Benefytt Technologies, Inc., et al. and Assurance IQ, LLC

In March 2022, the court issued an order granting Assurance IQ, LLC’s motion to dismiss the claims for declaratory and injunctive relief and denying the motion to dismiss as to the remaining claims. In May 2022, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint narrowing the scope of the putative plaintiff class, and the Company filed its answer.

LIBOR Litigation

Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, f/k/a Dryden Core Investment Fund, o/b/o Prudential Core Short-Term Bond Fund and Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund v. Bank of America Corporation, et al.

In March 2022, defendants petitioned the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari to review the Second Circuit Court of Appeals judgment that personal jurisdiction extends to foreign defendants. In June 2022, the United States Supreme Court denied defendants’ petition.

Summary

The Company’s litigation and regulatory matters are subject to many uncertainties, and given their complexity and scope, their outcome cannot be predicted. It is possible that the Company’s results of operations or cash flow in a particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of pending litigation and regulatory matters depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flow for such period. In light of the unpredictability of the Company’s litigation and regulatory matters, it is also possible that in certain cases an ultimate unfavorable resolution of one or more pending litigation or regulatory matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. Management believes, however, that, based on information currently known to it, the ultimate outcome of all pending litigation and regulatory matters, after consideration of applicable reserves and rights to indemnification, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) addresses the consolidated financial condition of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential,” “Prudential Financial,” “PFI,” or “the Company”) as of June 30, 2022, compared with December 31, 2021, and its consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. You should read the following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the MD&A, the “Risk Factors” section, and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as the statements under “Forward-Looking Statements,” and the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

Overview

Prudential Financial, a financial services leader with approximately $1.410 trillion of assets under management as of June 30, 2022, has operations primarily in the United States of America (“U.S.”), Asia, Europe and Latin America. Through our subsidiaries and affiliates, we offer a wide array of financial products and services, including life insurance, annuities, retirement solutions, mutual funds and investment management. We offer these products and services to individual and institutional customers through one of the largest distribution networks in the financial services industry.

Consequently, our principal operations now consist of PGIM (our global investment management business), our U.S. Businesses (consisting of our Retirement Strategies, Group Insurance, Individual Life and Assurance IQ businesses), our International Businesses, the Closed Block division, and our Corporate and Other operations. The Closed Block division is accounted for as a divested business that is reported separately from the Divested and Run-off Businesses that are included in Corporate and Other. Divested and Run-off Businesses consist of businesses that have been, or will be, sold or exited, including businesses that have been placed in wind-down status that do not qualify for “discontinued operations” accounting treatment under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Our Corporate and Other operations include corporate items and initiatives that are not allocated to business segments as well as the Divested and Run-off Businesses described above.

We attribute financing costs to each segment based on the amount of financing used by each segment, excluding financing costs associated with corporate debt, which are reflected in our Corporate and Other operations. The net investment income of each segment includes earnings on the amount of capital that management believes is necessary to support the risks of that segment.

Management expects that results will continue to benefit from our differentiated mix of market-leading 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 individual customers, workplace 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, including the ability to sell solutions across a broad socio-economic spectrum through Assurance IQ’s digital platform. We aim to expand our addressable market, build deeper and longer-lasting relationships with customers and clients, and meaningfully improve their financial wellness. While challenges have existed in the form of a sustained low interest rate environment, interest rates have recently risen from historically low levels. In the short term, higher interest rates will cause a decrease in our assets under management and associated fee income in our fee-based businesses, while over the longer term, higher interest rates will drive an increase in investment income from higher portfolio reinvestment rates.

In order to further increase our competitive advantage, we are working to enhance the experience of our customers and the capabilities of our businesses, which we expect will also help us realize improved margins. In 2019, we launched programs in pursuit of these objectives that have resulted and will continue to result in multi-year investments in technology, systems and employee reskilling, as well as severance and related charges. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred approximately $38 million and $63 million of costs, respectively, in connection with these programs. We expect these programs will generate significant expense efficiencies over several years that will mitigate the impact from increases in other expenses due to inflation and business growth initiatives. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company estimates that these programs generated cost savings of approximately $174 million and $344 million, respectively, and, as of June 30, 2022, we expect to accumulate approximately $750 million of annual run-rate cost savings by the end of 2022, which is one year ahead of our target date.

COVID-19

Since the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused extreme stress and disruption in the global economy and financial markets and elevated mortality and morbidity for the global population. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our results of operations in the current period and is expected to impact our results of operations in future periods.

The Company has taken several measures to manage the impacts of this crisis. The actual and expected impacts of these events and other items are included in the following update:

•Outlook.

U.S. Businesses:

The United States has experienced multiple waves of COVID-19, with the severity of each wave depending on such factors as seasonality, varying levels of population immunity, and the evolution of the virus itself into different variants. Throughout the course of the pandemic, deaths from COVID-19 in the United States have ranged from a few hundred to several thousand per day. Since December 2021, the Omicron variant and several of its subvariants have emerged in the U.S. and quickly became the dominant strains, causing many more infections but with a smaller percentage of infections resulting in hospitalizations and deaths compared to prior waves, though still causing deaths to spike during the first half of 2022. Vaccines and other therapeutics, such as antiviral treatments, are now widely available and non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as mandatory social distancing and mask wearing, are being relaxed in most communities; however, the future evolution of the virus, among other factors, could cause the actual course of the pandemic and its impact on our business to differ from our current expectations.

Specific outlook considerations for certain of our U.S. businesses include the following:

Retirement Strategies. As many of the products in our Institutional Retirement Strategies business assume longevity risk, elevated levels of mortality resulting from COVID-19 may contribute to higher levels of underwriting gains.

Group Insurance. COVID-19 may contribute to elevated levels of mortality, which would result in increased life insurance claims. In addition, we continue to monitor the potential impact of the pandemic on our disability business, overall sales volumes, and the utilization of our workplace benefit offerings.

Individual Life. COVID-19 may contribute to elevated levels of mortality, resulting in increased life insurance claims.

International Businesses:

Our Japanese operations experienced an elevated level of COVID-19 claims due to the continued spread of the Omicron variant in the first half of 2022 as well as a regulatory requirement that extends hospitalization benefits for at-home recoveries. Additionally, we continued to experience modest disruptions to sales and agent recruiting in Japan after the expiration of certain control measures enacted by Japanese authorities. The situation remains fluid and COVID-19 might impact future claims and sales depending on the state of the pandemic in the geographic markets in which we operate. We believe our needs-based selling and death protection focus are even more valuable to consumers based on the global experience of COVID-19 and will help support the continued long-term growth of our businesses.

•Results of Operations. See “—Results of Operations” and “—Results of Operations by Segment” for a discussion of results for the second quarter and the first six months of 2022.

•Investment Portfolio. Credit migration and defaults were low in 2021 and have remained limited in 2022. The sectors most impacted by COVID-19 have started to recover but could be influenced by periods of volatility due to the possibility of additional variants emerging.

•Sales and Flows. See “—Segment Results of Operations” for a discussion of sales and flows in each of our segments.

•Underwriting. Throughout the pandemic, COVID-19 had a significant net negative impact on our underwriting results, reflecting unfavorable mortality impacts in our Group Insurance, Individual Life and International businesses, partially offset by favorable mortality impacts in the Institutional portion of our Retirement Strategies business. In the second quarter of 2022, our overall mortality results were within expected ranges, inclusive of impacts from COVID-19, which we have seen decrease throughout the year. As such, beginning with the third quarter of 2022, the Company will embed

Table of Contents

COVID-19 considerations within the Company’s best estimate assumptions of future expected mortality impacts for its applicable U.S.-based businesses. The ultimate impact on our underwriting results, however, will continue to depend on various factors including: an insured’s age; geographic concentration; insured versus uninsured populations among the fatalities; the transmissibility and virulence of the virus, including the potential for further mutation; and the ongoing acceptance and efficacy of the vaccines and other therapeutics.

•Risk Management. Prudential has a robust risk management framework that seeks to ensure we can fulfill our customer, regulatory, and other stakeholder obligations under a range of stress scenarios by maintaining the appropriate balance between the Company’s resources and risks. We evaluate the Company’s exposure to stress under four lenses (economic, STAT, GAAP, and liquidity).

Our risk management framework incorporates severe to very severe stresses across equities, interest rates, credit migration and defaults, currencies and mortality. This framework includes a specific “pandemic and sell-off” scenario with a mortality calamity (1.5 extra deaths per 1,000 lives in the first year) based on a modern-day interpretation of the 1918 Spanish Flu experience that is aligned with most regulatory frameworks. The stress scenario assumes an even distribution of increased mortality across the population, which is more adversely impactful to the Company than our current understanding of COVID-19 mortality, which is skewed toward older ages. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, we continue to update our analysis and take management actions in response to this specific event.

As of June 30, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic has not reached the most severe levels of financial impacts included in the Company’s stress testing. In addition, the net mortality impact of COVID-19 has been moderated by the balance between our mortality exposure (such as in our Individual Life and Group Insurance businesses) and our offsetting longevity exposure (such as in our Institutional Retirement Strategies business), and is influenced by the age distribution of U.S. COVID-19 mortality. The future evolution of the virus, among other factors, could cause the actual course of the pandemic to differ from our current expectations.

•Risk Factors. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our results of operations, financial position, investment portfolio, new business opportunities and operations, and these impacts are expected to continue. For additional information on the risks to our business posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, see “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

•Business Continuity. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been executing our business continuity protocols to ensure our employees are safe and able to serve our customers. This included effectively transitioning the vast majority of our employees to remote work arrangements. In March 2022, our offices were reopened to employees and we expect that most of our workforce will adopt a hybrid arrangement for the foreseeable future.

We believe all of our businesses can sustain long-term hybrid or fully remote work arrangements while ensuring that critical business operations are sustained. In addition, we are managing COVID-19 related impacts on third-party provided services, and do not anticipate significant interruption in critical operations.

Impact of a Low Interest Rate Environment

As a global financial services company, market interest rates are a key driver of our results of operations and financial condition. Changes in interest rates can affect our results of operations and/or our financial condition in several ways, including favorable or adverse impacts to:

•investment-related activity, including: investment income returns, net interest margins, net investment spread results, new money rates, mortgage loan prepayments and bond redemptions;

•hedging costs and other risk mitigation activities;

•insurance reserve levels, market experience true-ups and amortization of both deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) and value of business acquired (“VOBA”);

•customer account values, including their impact on fee income;

•fair value of, and possible impairments on, intangible assets such as goodwill;

•product offerings, design features, crediting rates and sales mix; and

•policyholder behavior, including surrender or withdrawal activity.

For more information on interest rate risks, see “Risk Factors—Market Risk” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

See below for discussions related to the current interest rate environments in our two largest markets, the U.S. and Japan; the composition of our insurance liabilities and policyholder account balances; and the hypothetical impacts to our investment related results if these interest rate environments are sustained.

U.S. Operations excluding the Closed Block Division

Interest rates in the U.S. have experienced a sustained period of historically low levels with certain benchmarks reaching significant lows in recent years, while increasing more recently. Although more recent impacts of inflation in the U.S., along with other varying market conditions and events, make uncertain the timing, amount and impact of any monetary policy decisions by the Federal Reserve, changes in interest rates may impact our reinvestment yields, primarily for our investments in fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans. As interest rates decline, our reinvestment yield may be below our overall portfolio yield, resulting in an unfavorable impact to earnings. Conversely, as interest rates rise, our reinvestment yield may exceed the overall portfolio yield resulting in a favorable impact to earnings.

For the general account supporting our U.S. Businesses and our Corporate and Other 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 2023. The portion of the general account attributable to these operations has approximately $168 billion of such assets (based on net carrying value) as of June 30, 2022. The average portfolio yield for fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans is approximately 4% as of June 30, 2022.

Included in the $168 billion of fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans are approximately $135 billion that are subject to call or redemption features at the issuer’s option and have a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4%. Of this $135 billion, approximately 55% contain provisions for prepayment premiums. If we reinvest scheduled payments or prepayments (not subject to a prepayment fee) at rates below the current portfolio yield, including in some cases at rates below those guaranteed under our insurance contracts, future operating results will be impacted to the extent we do not, or are unable to, reduce crediting rates on in-force blocks of business, or effectively utilize other asset/liability management strategies described below, in order to maintain current net interest margins.

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:


	As of June 30, 2022
	(in billions)
Long-duration insurance products with fixed and guaranteed terms	$	147
Contracts with adjustable crediting rates subject to guaranteed minimums	36
Participating contracts where investment income risk ultimately accrues to contractholders	2
Total	$	185

The $147 billion above relates to long-duration products such as group annuities, structured settlements and other insurance products that have fixed and guaranteed terms, for which underlying assets may have to be reinvested at interest rates that are lower than portfolio rates. We seek to mitigate the impact of a prolonged low interest rate environment on these contracts through asset/liability management, as discussed further below.

The $36 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. The following table sets forth the related account values by range of guaranteed minimum crediting rates and the related range of the difference, in basis points (“bps”), between rates being credited to contractholders as of June 30, 2022, and the respective guaranteed minimums.

__________

(1)Includes approximately $0.19 billion related to contracts that impose a market value adjustment if the invested amount is not held to maturity.

The remaining $2 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.

Assuming a hypothetical scenario where the average 10-year U.S. Treasury rate is 3.00% (which is reasonably consistent with recent rates) for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 (and credit spreads remain unchanged from average levels experienced during the second quarter 2022), we estimate that the favorable impact to net investment income of reinvesting activities, including scheduled maturities and estimated prepayments of fixed maturities and commercial mortgage and other loans (excluding assets supporting participating contracts), would be between $0 million and $45 million over this period.

In order to mitigate the unfavorable impact that a low interest rate environment has on our net interest margins, 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 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.

Closed Block Division

Substantially all of the $51 billion of general account assets in the Closed Block division support obligations and liabilities relating to the Closed Block policies only. See Note 7 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Closed Block.

International Insurance Operations

While our international insurance operations have experienced a low interest rate environment for many years, the current reinvestment yields for certain blocks of business in our international insurance operations are generally lower than the current portfolio yield supporting these blocks of business. In recent years, the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy has resulted in even lower and, at times, negative yields for certain tenors of government bonds. Our international insurance operations employ a proactive asset/liability management program in order to mitigate, to the extent possible, the unfavorable impact that the current interest rate environment has on our net interest margins. In conjunction with this program, we have not purchased negative yielding assets to support the portfolio and we continue to purchase long-term bonds with tenors of 30 years or greater. Additionally, our diverse product portfolio in terms of currency mix and premium payment structure allows us to further mitigate the negative impact from this low interest rate environment. 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. The impact of these actions and the introduction of certain new products has resulted in an increase in sales of U.S. dollar-denominated products relative to products denominated in other currencies. For additional information on sales within our international insurance operations, see “—International Businesses—Sales Results,” below.

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


	As of June 30, 2022
	(in billions)
Insurance products with fixed and guaranteed terms	$	128
Contracts with a market value adjustment if invested amount is not held to maturity	24
Contracts with adjustable crediting rates subject to guaranteed minimums	9
Total	$	161

The $128 billion is primarily comprised 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 $24 billion related to contracts that impose a market value adjustment if the invested amount is not held to maturity and $9 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.

Assuming a hypothetical scenario where the average 30-year Japanese Government Bond yield is 1.20% and the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate is 3.00% (which is reasonably consistent with recent rates) for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 (and credit spreads remain unchanged from average levels experienced during the second quarter 2022), we estimate that the favorable impact to net investment income of reinvesting activities, including scheduled maturities and estimated prepayments of fixed maturities and commercial mortgage and other loans (excluding assets supporting participating contracts) would be between $0 million and $45 million over this period.

Three Month Comparison. The $2,723 million decrease in “Net income (loss) attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc.” for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 reflected the following notable items on a pre-tax basis:

•$2,974 million unfavorable variance from realized investment gains (losses), net, and related charges and adjustments for PFI, excluding the impact of the hedging program associated with certain variable annuities (see “General Account Investments” for additional information); and

•$957 million unfavorable variance from lower adjusted operating income from our business segments, including an unfavorable net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, primarily within the Individual Life business, partially offset by a gain from the sale of our equity interest in Prudential Annuities Life Assurance Corporation (“PALAC”) (see “Segment Results of Operations” for additional information).

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

•$598 million favorable variance from income taxes reflecting the decrease in pre-tax earnings;

•$306 million favorable variance driven by market experience updates primarily within our Individual Retirement Strategies business; and

•$266 million favorable variance reflecting the impact from changes in the value of our embedded derivatives and related hedge positions, net of DAC and other costs, associated with certain variable annuities.

Six Month Comparison. The $5,582 million decrease in “Net income (loss) attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc.” for the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021 reflected the following notable items on a pre-tax basis:

•$4,520 million unfavorable variance from realized investment gains (losses), net, and related charges and adjustments for PFI, excluding the impact of the hedging program associated with certain variable annuities;

•$1,434 million unfavorable variance from lower adjusted operating income from our business segments, including an unfavorable net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, primarily within the Individual Life business, and the absence of a gain from the sale of the Company’s 35% ownership stake in Pramerica SGR recorded in the prior year period, partially offset by a gain from the sale of our equity interest in PALAC;

•$603 million unfavorable variance reflecting the impact from changes in the value of our embedded derivatives and related hedge positions, net of DAC and other costs, associated with certain variable annuities; and

•$310 million unfavorable variance reflecting lower results from our Divested and Run-off Businesses in the current year period, partially offset by a gain from the sale of our Full Service Retirement business.

Partially offsetting these decreases in “Net income (loss) attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc.” was a $1,303 million favorable variance from income taxes reflecting the decrease in pre-tax earnings.

Segment Results of Operations

We analyze the performance of our segments and Corporate and Other operations using a measure of segment profitability called adjusted operating income. See “—Segment Measures” for a discussion of adjusted operating income and its use as a measure of segment operating performance.

Annual Reviews and Update of Assumptions and Other Refinements

Annually during the second quarter of each year, we perform a comprehensive review of actuarial assumptions utilized in measuring insurance liabilities and expected gross profits used in amortizing deferred acquisition costs, sales inducement costs, unearned revenue reserves and value of business acquired. The assumptions reviewed include, but are not necessarily limited to, inputs such as mortality, morbidity, contractholder behavior and expected future rates of returns on investments. 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. These assumptions are generally updated annually during the second quarter of each year, unless a material change in experience that we feel is indicative of a long-term trend is observed during an interim period.

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 operating joint ventures.

Segment results for the period presented above reflect the following:

PGIM. Results for the second quarter of 2022 decreased in comparison to the prior year period, primarily reflecting lower net other related revenues, higher operating expenses and lower net asset management fees. Results for the first six months of 2022 decreased in comparison to the prior year period, primarily reflecting the absence of a gain in the prior year period from the sale of our 35% ownership stake in Pramerica SGR, higher compensation and operating expenses, and lower net other related revenues.

Table of Contents

Retirement Strategies. Results for both the second quarter and the first six months of 2022 increased in comparison to the prior year periods, inclusive of a favorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements. Excluding this item, results for both periods increased, primarily reflecting a gain from the sale of our equity interest in PALAC and market value gains on a strategic investment, as well as higher spread results and lower expenses, partially offset by lower fee income, net of distribution expenses and other associated costs.

Group Insurance. Results for both the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased in comparison to the prior year period, inclusive of an unfavorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements. Excluding this item, results for both periods increased, driven by more favorable underwriting results, partially offset by lower net investment spread results. Results for the first six months of 2022 also reflected higher expenses.

Individual Life. Results for both the second quarter and the first six months of 2022 decreased in comparison to the prior year periods, inclusive of an unfavorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements. Excluding this item, results for the second quarter of 2022 decreased, primarily driven by lower net spread results, partially offset by more favorable underwriting results. Results for the first six months of 2022 increased, primarily driven by less unfavorable underwriting results.

Assurance IQ. Results for both the second quarter and the first six months of 2022 decreased in comparison to the prior year periods, primarily reflecting an unfavorable net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements. Excluding this item, results for both periods decreased, primarily reflecting a decrease in the Health Under 65 line. Results for the first six months of 2022 were partially offset by an increase in the Medicare line.

International Businesses. Results for both the second quarter and the first six months of 2022 decreased in comparison to the prior year periods, inclusive of an unfavorable net impact from foreign currency exchange rates and an unfavorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements. Excluding these items, results for both periods decreased, primarily driven by lower net investment spread results and lower earnings from our joint venture investments, as well as higher expenses and less favorable underwriting results.

Corporate and Other. Results for the second quarter of 2022 reflected decreased losses in comparison to the prior year period, primarily driven by lower net charges from other corporate activities, favorable pension and employee benefit results and higher investment income. Results for the first six months of 2022 reflected decreased losses in comparison to the prior year period, primarily driven by favorable pension and employee benefit results and lower interest expense on debt, partially offset by higher net charges from other corporate activities.

Closed Block Division. Results for both the second quarter and the first six months of 2022 decreased in comparison to the prior year periods, primarily driven by lower net investment activity results, partially offset by a reduction in the policyholder dividend obligation.

Segment Measures

Adjusted Operating Income. In managing our business, we analyze our segments’ operating performance using “adjusted operating income.” Adjusted operating income does not equate to “Income (loss) before income taxes and equity in earnings of operating joint ventures” or “Net income (loss)” as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP but is the measure of segment profit or loss we use to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources and, consistent with authoritative guidance, is our measure of segment performance. The adjustments to derive adjusted operating income are important to an understanding of our overall results of operations. 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; 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.

See Note 13 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the presentation of segment results and our definition of adjusted operating income.

Annualized New Business Premiums. In managing our Individual Life, Group Insurance and International Businesses, we analyze annualized new business premiums, which do not correspond to revenues under U.S. GAAP. Annualized new business premiums measure the current sales performance of the business, while revenues primarily reflect the renewal persistency of policies written in prior years and net investment income, in addition to current sales. Annualized new business premiums include 10% of first year premiums or deposits from single pay products. No other adjustments are made for limited pay contracts.

Table of Contents

The amount of annualized new business premiums for any given period can be significantly impacted by several factors, including but not limited to: addition of new products, discontinuation of existing products, changes in credited interest rates for certain products and other product modifications, changes in premium rates, changes in tax laws, changes in regulations or changes in the competitive environment. Sales volume may increase or decrease prior to certain of these changes becoming effective, and then fluctuate in the other direction following such changes.

Assets Under Management. In managing our PGIM business, we analyze assets under management (which do not correspond directly to U.S. GAAP assets) because the principal source of revenues is fees based on assets under management. Assets under management represent the fair market value or account value of assets that we manage directly for institutional clients, retail clients, and for our general account, as well as assets invested in our products that are managed by third-party managers.

Account Values. In managing our Retirement Strategies business, we analyze account values, which do not correspond directly to U.S. GAAP assets. Net additions (withdrawals) in our Institutional Retirement Strategies business and sales (redemptions) in our Individual Retirement Strategies business do not correspond to revenues under U.S. GAAP but are used as a relevant measure of business activity.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Foreign currency exchange rate movements and related hedging strategies

As a U.S.-based company with significant business operations outside the U.S., particularly in Japan, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate movements that could impact our U.S. dollar (“USD”)-equivalent shareholder return on equity. We seek to mitigate this impact through various hedging strategies, including holding USD-denominated assets in certain of our foreign subsidiaries.

In order to reduce equity volatility from foreign currency exchange rate movements, we primarily utilize a yen hedging strategy that calibrates the hedge level to preserve the relative contribution of our yen-based business to the Company’s overall return on equity on a leverage neutral basis. We implement this hedging strategy utilizing a variety of instruments, including USD-denominated assets and dual currency and synthetic dual currency investments held locally in our Japanese insurance subsidiaries. The total hedge level may vary based on our periodic assessment of the relative contribution of our yen-based business to the Company’s overall return on equity.

The table below presents the aggregate amount of instruments that serve to hedge the impact of foreign currency exchange movements on our USD-equivalent shareholder return on equity from our Japanese insurance subsidiaries as of the dates indicated.

Foreign currency hedging instruments:



USD-denominated assets held in yen-based entities(1)	$	8.8	$	9.5
Dual currency and synthetic dual currency investments(2)	0.4		0.5

Total foreign currency hedges	$	9.2	$	10.0

__________

(1)Includes USD-denominated fixed maturities at amortized cost plus any related accrued investment income, as well as USD notional amount of foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding. Note this amount represents only those USD assets serving to hedge the impact of foreign currency volatility on equity. Separate from this program, our Japanese operations also have $72.5 billion and $74.3 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, of USD-denominated assets supporting USD-denominated liabilities related to USD-denominated products.

(2)Dual currency and synthetic dual currency investments are held by our yen-based entities in the form of fixed maturities and loans with a yen-denominated principal component and USD-denominated interest income. The amounts shown represent the present value of future USD-denominated cash flows.

The USD-denominated investments that hedge the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on USD-equivalent earnings and shareholder return on equity from our Japanese insurance operations are reported within yen-based entities and, as a result, foreign currency exchange rate movements will impact their value reported within our yen-based Japanese insurance entities. We seek to mitigate the risk that future unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements will decrease the value of these USD-denominated investments reported within our yen-based Japanese insurance entities, and therefore negatively impact their equity and regulatory solvency margins, by having our Japanese insurance operations enter into currency hedging transactions with a subsidiary of Prudential Financial. These hedging strategies have the economic effect

Table of Contents

of moving the change in value of these USD-denominated investments due to foreign currency exchange rate movements from our Japanese yen-based entities to our USD-based entities.

These USD-denominated investments also pay a coupon which is generally higher than what a similar yen-denominated investment would pay. The incremental impact of this higher yield on our USD-denominated investments, as well as our dual currency and synthetic dual currency investments, will vary over time, and is dependent on the duration of the underlying investments as well as interest rate environments in both the U.S. and Japan at the time of the investments.

Impact of intercompany foreign currency exchange rate arrangements on segment results of operations

The financial results of our International Businesses and PGIM reflect the impact of intercompany arrangements with our Corporate and Other operations pursuant to which these segments’ non-USD-denominated earnings are translated at fixed currency exchange rates. Results of our Corporate and Other operations include differences between the translation adjustments recorded by the segments at the fixed currency exchange rate versus the actual average rate during the period. In addition, specific to our International Businesses where we hedge certain currencies, the results of our Corporate and Other operations also include the impact of any gains or losses recorded from the forward currency contracts that settled during the period, which include the impact of any over or under hedging of actual earnings that differ from projected earnings.

For our International Businesses, the fixed currency exchange rates are generally determined in connection with a foreign currency income hedging program designed to mitigate the impact of exchange rate changes on the segment’s expected USD-equivalent earnings. Pursuant to this program, our Corporate and Other operations execute forward currency contracts with third-parties to sell the net exposure of projected earnings for certain currencies in exchange for USD at specified exchange rates. The maturities of these contracts correspond with the future periods (typically on a three-year rolling basis) in which the identified non-USD-denominated earnings are expected to be generated.

For our International Businesses and PGIM, the fixed currency exchange rates for the current year are predetermined during the third quarter of the prior year using forward currency exchange rates.

The table below presents, for the periods indicated, the increase (decrease) to revenues and adjusted operating income for the International Businesses, PGIM and Corporate and Other operations, reflecting the impact of these intercompany arrangements.

Impact of products denominated in non-local currencies on U.S. GAAP earnings

While our international insurance operations offer products denominated in local currency, several also offer products denominated in non-local currencies. This is most notable in our Japanese operations, which currently offer primarily USD-denominated products, but have also historically offered Australian dollar (“AUD”)-denominated products. The non-local currency-denominated insurance liabilities related to these products are supported by investments denominated in corresponding currencies, including a significant portion designated as available-for-sale. While the impact from foreign currency exchange rate movements on these non-local currency-denominated assets and liabilities is economically matched, differences in the accounting for changes in the value of these assets and liabilities due to changes in foreign currency exchange rate movements have historically resulted in volatility in U.S. GAAP earnings.

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 $1.8 billion and $2.0 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 5% of the $1.8 billion balance as of June 30, 2022 will be recognized throughout the remainder of 2022, approximately 7% will be recognized in 2023, and the remaining balance will be recognized from 2024 through 2051.

Highly inflationary economy in Argentina

Our insurance operations in Argentina, Prudential of Argentina (“POA”), have historically utilized the Argentine peso as the functional currency given it is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. 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 are remeasured and/or translated into USD, the impact to our financial statements was not material nor is it expected to be material in future periods given the relative size of our POA operations. It should also be noted that due to the macroeconomic environment in Argentina, the majority of POA’s balance sheet consists of USD-denominated product liabilities supported by USD-denominated assets. As a result, this accounting change serves to reduce the remeasurement impact reflected in net income given that the functional currency and currency in which the assets and liabilities are denominated will be more closely aligned.

Accounting Policies & Pronouncements

Application of Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Management, on an ongoing basis, reviews estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements. If management determines that modifications in assumptions and estimates are appropriate given current facts and circumstances, the Company’s results of operations and financial position as reported in the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements could change significantly.

Management believes the accounting policies relating to the following areas are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments:

•DAC, deferred sales inducements (“DSI”) and VOBA;

•Policyholder liabilities;

•Goodwill;

•Valuation of investments including derivatives, measurement of allowance for credit losses, and recognition of other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”);

•Pension and other postretirement benefits;

•Taxes on income; and

•Reserves for contingencies, including reserves for losses in connection with unresolved legal matters.

Table of Contents

Market Performance - Equity and Interest Rate Assumptions

DAC, DSI and VOBA, associated with the variable and universal life policies of our Individual Life and International Businesses segments and the variable and fixed annuity contracts of our Retirement Strategies and International Businesses segments, are generally amortized over the expected lives of these policies in proportion to total gross profits. Total gross profits include both actual gross profits and estimates of gross profits for future periods. The quarterly adjustments for market performance reflect the impact of changes to our estimate of total gross profits to reflect actual fund performance and market conditions. A significant portion of gross profits for our variable annuity contracts and, to a lesser degree, our variable life contracts are dependent upon the total rate of return on assets held in separate account investment options. This rate of return influences the fees we earn on variable annuity and variable life contracts, costs we incur associated with the guaranteed minimum death and guaranteed minimum income benefit features related to our variable annuity contracts and expected claims to be paid on variable life contracts, as well as other sources of profit. Returns that are higher than our expectations for a given period produce higher than expected account balances, which increase the future fees we expect to earn on variable annuity and variable life contracts and decrease the future costs we expect to incur associated with the guaranteed minimum death and guaranteed minimum income benefit features related to our variable annuity contracts and expected claims to be paid on variable life contracts. The opposite occurs when returns are lower than our expectations. The changes in future expected gross profits are used to recognize a cumulative adjustment to all prior periods’ amortization.

Furthermore, the calculation of the estimated liability for future policy benefits related to certain insurance products includes an estimate of associated revenues and expenses that are dependent on both historical market performance as well as estimates of market performance in the future. Similar to DAC, DSI and VOBA described above, these liabilities are subject to quarterly adjustments for experience including market performance, in addition to annual adjustments resulting from our annual reviews of assumptions.

The weighted average rate of return assumptions used in developing estimated market returns consider many factors specific to each product type, including asset durations, asset allocations and other factors. With regard to equity market assumptions, the near-term future rate of return assumption used in evaluating DAC, DSI and VOBA and liabilities for future policy benefits for certain of our products, primarily our domestic variable annuity and domestic and international variable life insurance products, is generally updated each quarter and is derived using a reversion to the mean approach, a common industry practice. Under this approach, we consider historical equity returns and adjust projected equity returns over an initial future period of five years (the “near-term”) so that equity returns converge to the long-term expected rate of return. If the near-term projected future rate of return is greater than our near-term maximum future rate of return of 15.0%, we use our maximum future rate of return. If the near-term projected future rate of return is lower than our near-term minimum future rate of return of 0%, we use our minimum future rate of return. As of June 30, 2022, our domestic variable annuities and variable life insurance businesses assume an 8.0% long-term equity expected rate of return and a 6.4% near-term mean reversion equity expected rate of return, and our international variable life insurance business assumes a 4.8% long-term equity expected rate of return and a 3.0% near-term mean reversion equity expected rate of return.

With regard to interest rate assumptions used in evaluating DAC, DSI and VOBA and liabilities for future policy benefits for certain of our products, we update the long-term and near-term future rates used to project fixed income returns annually and quarterly, respectively. As a result of our 2022 annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, we kept our long-term expectation of the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate and 10-year Japanese Government Bond yield unchanged and continue to grade to rates of 3.25% and 1.00%, respectively, over ten years. As part of our quarterly market experience updates, we update our near-term projections of interest rates to reflect changes in current rates.

For further discussion of impacts that could result from changes in certain key assumptions, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Accounting Policies and Pronouncements—Application of Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Table of Contents

ASU 2018-12 will impact, at least to some extent, the accounting and disclosure requirements for all long-duration insurance and investment contracts issued by the Company. The Company expects the standard to have a significant financial impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and will significantly increase disclosures. As of the January 1, 2021 transition date, the Company estimates that implementation of the standard will result in a decrease to Retained Earnings of approximately $2 billion to $3 billion primarily from reclassifying the cumulative effect of changes in non-performance risk from retained earnings to AOCI and other changes in reserves, and will result in a decrease to AOCI of approximately $40 billion to $45 billion primarily from remeasuring in-force contract liabilities using current upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yields. As of December 31, 2021, these estimates decline to a decrease to Retained Earnings of approximately $1 billion to $2 billion and a decrease to AOCI of approximately $28 billion to $33 billion primarily due to the increase in interest rates during 2021. In addition to the impacts to the balance sheet, the Company also expects an impact to the pattern of earnings emergence following the transition date. See Note 2 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of ASU 2018-12, as well as other accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted and newly adopted accounting pronouncements.

__________

(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 more information related to this intercompany arrangement, see “—Results of Operations—Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates,” above.

(2)Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 include a $378 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of our 35% ownership stake in Pramerica SGR, an asset management joint venture in Italy.

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

Adjusted Operating Income

Three Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income decreased $109 million, primarily reflecting a decrease in other related revenues, net of related expenses, driven by a decrease in seed and co-investments reflecting investment underperformance. Also contributing to the decrease were higher operating expenses and lower asset management fees, net of related expenses.

Six Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income decreased $572 million, primarily reflecting a decrease in service, distribution and other revenues, driven by the absence of a gain in the prior year period from the sale of our Pramerica SGR joint venture, lower other related revenues, net of related expenses, and higher operating and compensation expenses. Asset

__________

(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.

(3)Results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 include a $378 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of our 35% ownership stake in Pramerica SGR, an asset management joint venture in Italy.

Three Month Comparison. Revenues decreased $180 million, primarily due to a decrease in other related revenues driven by lower seed and co-investments results and lower performance-based incentive fees, reflecting investment underperformance. Service, distribution and other revenues decreased, primarily reflecting lower revenues from certain consolidated funds (which were fully offset by lower expenses related to noncontrolling interests in these funds). Also contributing to the decrease were lower asset management fees primarily due to a decrease in average assets under management, driven by market depreciation reflecting higher interest rates and credit spreads, as well as unfavorable equity markets.

Expenses decreased $71 million, primarily reflecting lower variable expenses associated with a decrease in overall segment earnings and lower revenues of certain consolidated funds, as discussed above. The decrease was partially offset by higher operating expenses primarily driven by an increase in travel and entertainment costs.

Six Month Comparison. Revenues decreased $568 million. Service, distribution and other revenues decreased, primarily reflecting the absence of a gain in the prior year period from the sale of our Pramerica SGR joint venture. Other related revenues decreased primarily driven by lower seed and co-investments results and lower performance-based incentive fees, reflecting investment underperformance, and lower commercial mortgage origination revenues primarily driven by higher interest rates. Also contributing to the decrease were lower asset management fees, net of related expenses, primarily due to a decrease in average assets under management, driven by market depreciation reflecting higher interest rates and credit spreads, as well as unfavorable equity markets.

Expenses increased $4 million, reflecting higher operating expenses primarily driven by an increase in travel and entertainment, and higher compensation expenses, partially offset by lower variable expenses primarily associated with a decrease in overall segment earnings.

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 June 30, 2022, these assets decreased approximately $6.0 billion compared to December 31, 2021, primarily reflecting market depreciation.

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:

(1)Effective third quarter of 2021, the results of the Full Service Retirement business are included in the Divested and Run-off Businesses in Corporate and Other. Prior period amounts have been updated to conform to current period presentation. See Note 1 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

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

Three Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income for our U.S. Businesses decreased by $677 million primarily due to:

•An unfavorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, primarily reflecting a net charge from these updates in the second quarter of 2022 in our Individual Life business, mainly driven by unfavorable impacts related to assumptions for policyholder behavior and mortality;

•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 as a result of the sale of our equity interest in PALAC; and

•Lower net investment spread results driven by lower income on non-coupon investments.

•Partially offsetting these decreases was a gain in our Individual Retirement Strategies business from the sale of PALAC; and

•Higher underwriting results primarily reflecting improved mortality experience and more favorable disability results in our Group Insurance business.

Six Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income for our U.S. Businesses decreased by $577 million primarily due to:

•Partially offsetting these decreases was a gain in our Individual Retirement Strategies business from the sale of PALAC; and

•Higher underwriting results, including lower COVID-19 related mortality claims, in our Individual Life and Group Insurance businesses, as well as more favorable disability results in our Group Insurance business, partially offset by lower COVID-19 related gains in our Institutional Retirement Strategies business.

Retirement Strategies

In October 2021, the Company announced the creation of Retirement Strategies, a new U.S. business that would serve the retirement needs of both our institutional and individual customers by bringing the institutional investment and pension solutions offered through our Retirement business together with the financial solutions and capabilities of our Individual Annuities business. As of the second quarter of 2022, this new structure has been fully operationalized; therefore, the results of our former Retirement segment (now known as the “Institutional Retirement Strategies” operating segment) and our former Individual Annuities segment (now known as the “Individual Retirement Strategies” operating segment) have been aggregated into the Retirement Strategies segment. Prior periods have been updated to conform to this new presentation.

Business Updates

•In April 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Full Service Retirement business to Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“Great-West”). The transaction involved the sale of legal entities, reinsurance, and the transfer of contracts and brokerage accounts to Great-West. See Note 1 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2021, the Company reported the assets and liabilities of the Full Service Retirement business as “held-for-sale” and transferred the results of this business to Divested and Run-off Businesses within Corporate and Other operations. As such, the following results for the Institutional Retirement Strategies operating segment are now solely reflective of the Company’s Institutional Investment Products business. All prior period amounts have been restated to conform to current period presentation.

•In April 2022, the Company completed the sale of its equity interest in PALAC, which represented a portion of its in-force traditional variable annuity block of business, to Fortitude Group Holdings, LLC, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $852 million. See Note 1 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2021, the Company reported the assets and liabilities of this block of business as “held-for-sale” with the results continuing to be reported within the former Individual Annuities segment’s operating results until the sale was completed.

Adjusted Operating Income

Three Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income from our Institutional Retirement Strategies business decreased $52 million, including a favorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements. Results for the second quarter of 2022 had no net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions, while results for the second quarter of 2021 included a $14 million net charge. Excluding this item, adjusted operating income decreased $66 million, driven by lower net investment spread results, primarily reflecting lower income on non-coupon investments, partially offset by higher reinvestment rates. This net unfavorable impact was partially offset by favorable reserve experience driven by core business growth and higher COVID-19 related mortality gains.

Adjusted operating income from our Individual Retirement Strategies business increased $833 million, including a favorable comparative impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, which resulted in a $25 million net benefit in the second quarter of 2022 compared to a $15 million charge in the second quarter of 2021. Excluding this item, adjusted operating income increased $793 million primarily driven by a gain from the sale of PALAC and market value gains on a strategic investment. Also contributing to the increase were higher net investment spread results, driven by more favorable interest rates as well as growth in indexed variable annuities and lower operating expenses. These increases were partially offset by lower fee income, net of distribution expenses and other associated costs, resulting from lower average separate account values due to net outflows, unfavorable equity markets and the reduction in account values resulting from the sale of PALAC, partially offset by favorable impacts from our living benefits guarantees.

Six Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income from our Institutional Retirement Strategies business decreased $98 million, including a favorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above. Excluding this item, adjusted operating income decreased $113 million, driven by lower net investment spread results, primarily reflecting lower income on non-coupon investments, and less favorable reserve experience due to lower COVID-19 related mortality gains.

Table of Contents

Adjusted operating income from our Individual Retirement Strategies business increased $861 million, including a favorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above. Excluding this item, adjusted operating income increased $821 million primarily driven by a gain from the sale of PALAC and market value gains on a strategic investment. Also contributing to the increase were higher net investment spread results, driven by more favorable interest rates as well as growth in indexed variable annuities, lower operating expenses, and higher income on non-coupon investments. These increases were partially offset by lower fee income, net of distribution expenses and other associated costs, resulting from lower average separate account values due to net outflows, unfavorable equity markets and the reduction in account values resulting from the sale of PALAC, partially offset by favorable impacts from our living benefits guarantees.

Revenues, Benefits and Expenses

Three Month Comparison. Revenues from our Institutional Retirement Strategies business increased $624 million. This increase primarily reflected higher pension risk transfer premiums due to new sales in the current quarter, with corresponding offsets in policyholders’ benefits, as discussed below, partially offset by lower net investment income and other income, primarily reflecting lower income on non-coupon investments.

Benefits and expenses of our Institutional Retirement Strategies business increased $676 million. Excluding the impact of our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above, benefits and expenses increased $690 million. Policyholders’ benefits, including the change in policy reserves, increased primarily related to the higher pension risk transfer premiums discussed above.

Revenues from our Individual Retirement Strategies business increased $756 million primarily driven by a gain from the sale of our equity interest in PALAC and market value gains on a strategic investment, partially offset by lower policy charges and fee income, reflecting lower average separate account values due to net outflows, unfavorable equity markets and the reduction in account values resulting from the sale of PALAC.

Benefits and expenses of our Individual Retirement Strategies business decreased $77 million. Excluding the impact of our annual review and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above, benefits and expenses decreased $37 million primarily driven by lower general and administrative expenses, net of capitalization, driven by lower distribution and asset management expenses reflecting lower average separate account values, as discussed above, and lower operating expenses. This increase was partially offset by higher interest expense.

Six Month Comparison. Revenues from our Institutional Retirement Strategies business increased $1,165 million. This increase primarily reflected higher pension risk transfer premiums, with corresponding offsets in policyholders’ benefits, as discussed below, partially offset by lower other income and net investment income, primarily reflecting lower income on non-coupon investments.

Benefits and expenses of our Institutional Retirement Strategies business increased $1,263 million. Excluding the impact of our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above, benefits and expenses increased $1,278 million. Policyholders’ benefits, including the change in policy reserves, increased primarily related to the higher pension risk transfer premiums discussed above.

Revenues from our Individual Retirement Strategies business increased $764 million primarily driven by a gain from the sale of our equity interest in PALAC and market value gains on a strategic investment, partially offset by lower policy charges and fee income, reflecting lower average separate account values due to net outflows, unfavorable equity markets and the reduction in account values resulting from the sale of PALAC.

Benefits and expenses of our Individual Retirement Strategies business decreased $97 million. Excluding the impact of our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above, benefits and expenses decreased $57 million primarily driven by lower general and administrative expenses, net of capitalization, driven by lower distribution and asset management expenses reflecting lower average separate account values, as discussed above, and lower operating expenses. This increase was partially offset by higher interest expense.

Account Values

Institutional Retirement Strategies. Account values are a significant driver of our operating results and are primarily driven by net additions (withdrawals) and the impact of market changes. The investment income and interest we credit to policyholders on our spread-based products varies with the level of general account values. The income we earn on most of our fee-based products varies with the level of fee-based account values as many policy fees are determined by these values.

The following table shows the changes in the account values of Institutional Retirement Strategies’ products for the periods indicated. Account values include both internally- and externally-managed client balances as the total balances drive revenue for the Institutional Retirement Strategies business. For more information on internally-managed balances, see “—PGIM.”

(1)Additions primarily include: group annuities and funded pension reinsurance calculated based on premiums received; international longevity reinsurance contracts calculated as the present value of future projected benefits; investment-only stable value contracts calculated as the fair value of customers’ funds held in a client-owned trust; and funding agreements issued calculated based on premiums received.

(2)“Other” activity includes the effect of foreign exchange rate changes associated with our British pounds sterling denominated international reinsurance business and changes in asset balances for externally-managed accounts. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, “Other” activity also includes $892 million in receipts offset by $867 million in payments and $581 million in receipts offset by $731 million in payments, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, includes $1,711 million in receipts offset by $1,708 million in payments and $1,302 million in receipts offset by $1,496 million in payments, respectively, related to funding agreements backed by commercial paper which typically have maturities of less than 90 days.

The decreases in Institutional Retirement Strategies account values for the three months, six months and twelve months ended June 30, 2022 reflect decreases in other activity primarily driven by the negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes, and the decline in the market value of account assets. Account values for the six months ended June 30, 2022 also reflect net withdrawals primarily driven by account run-off.

Individual Retirement Strategies. Account values are a significant driver of our operating results. Since most fees are determined by the level of separate account assets, fee income varies primarily based on the level of account values. Additionally, our fee income generally drives other items such as the pattern of amortization of DAC and other costs. Account values are driven by net flows from new business sales, surrenders, withdrawals and benefit payments, policy charges and the impact of positive or negative market value changes. The annuity industry’s competitive and regulatory landscapes, which have been dynamic over the last few years, may impact our net flows, including new business sales. The following table sets forth account value information for the periods indicated:

(1)Includes gross variable and fixed annuities sold as retail investment products. Investments sold through defined contribution plan products are included with such products within our Institutional Retirement Strategies business. Variable annuity account values were $117.6 billion and $176.6 billion as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Fixed annuity account values were $5.6 billion and $5.9 billion as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(2)Beginning total account values for three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 include approximately $30 billion of account values that were classified as “held-for-sale” as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, in relation to the PALAC sale, as discussed above.

(3)Results for the three months, six months and twelve months ended June 30, 2022 reflect the reduction in account values resulting from the sale of PALAC, as discussed above.

Sales, net of full surrenders and death benefits, for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased in comparison to the prior year periods driven by lower full surrenders due to general uncertainty and volatility in financial markets in the current year period, partially offset by lower sales.

The decrease in account values for the three months, six months and twelve months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily driven by the impact of the sale of PALAC, market value depreciation and net outflows.

Risks and Risk Mitigants

The following is a summary of certain risks associated with Individual Retirement Strategies’ products, certain strategies in mitigating those risks including any updates to those strategies since the previous year-end, and the related financial results.

Fixed Annuity Risks and Risk Mitigants. The primary risk exposure of our fixed annuity products relates to investment risks we bear for providing customers a minimum guaranteed interest rate or an index-linked interest rate required to be credited to the customer’s account value, which include interest rate fluctuations and/or sustained periods of low interest rates, and credit risk related to the underlying investments. We manage these risk exposures primarily through our investment strategies and product design features, which include credit rate resetting subject to the minimum guaranteed interest rate as well as surrender charges applied during the early years of the contract that help to provide protection for premature withdrawals. In addition, a portion of our fixed products has a market value adjustment provision that affords protection of lapse in the case of rising interest rates. We also manage these risk exposures through external reinsurance for certain of our fixed annuity products.

Indexed Variable Annuity Risks and Risk Mitigants. The primary risk exposure of our indexed variable annuity products relates to the investment risks we bear in order to credit to the customer’s account balance the required crediting rate based on the performance of the elected indices at the end of each term. We manage this risk primarily through our investment strategies including derivatives and product design features, which include credit rate resetting subject to contractual minimums as well as surrender charges applied during the early years of the contract that help to provide protection for premature withdrawals. In addition, our indexed variable annuity strategies have an interim value provision that provides some protection from lapse in the case of rising interest rates.

Variable Annuity Risks and Risk Mitigants. The primary risk exposures of our variable annuity contracts relate to actual deviations from, or changes to, the assumptions used in the original pricing of these products, including capital markets assumptions such as equity market returns, interest rates and market volatility, along with actuarial assumptions such as

102

Table of Contents

contractholder mortality, the timing and amount of annuitization and withdrawals, and contract lapses. For these risk exposures, achievement of our expected returns is subject to the risk that actual experience will differ from the assumptions used in the original pricing of these products. We manage our exposure to certain risks driven by fluctuations in capital markets primarily through a combination of i) Product Design Features, ii) our Asset Liability Management Strategy, and iii) our Capital Hedge Program, as discussed below. We also manage these risk exposures through external reinsurance for certain of our variable annuity products. Sales of traditional variable annuities with guaranteed living benefit riders were discontinued as of December 31, 2020, and, in April 2022, the Company completed the sale of a portion of our in-force traditional variable annuity block, as discussed above.

i.Product Design Features:

A portion of the variable annuity contracts that we offered include an automatic rebalancing feature, also referred to as an asset transfer feature. This feature is implemented at the contract level, and transfers assets between certain variable investment sub-accounts selected by the annuity contractholder and, depending on the benefit feature, a fixed-rate account in the general account or a bond fund sub-account within the separate accounts. The objective of the automatic rebalancing feature is to reduce our exposure to equity market risk and market volatility. Other product design features we utilize include, among others, asset allocation restrictions, minimum issuance age requirements and certain limitations on the amount of purchase payments, as well as a required minimum allocation to our general account for certain of our products. In addition, there is diversity in our fee arrangements, as certain fees are primarily based on the benefit guarantee amount, the contractholder account value and/or premiums, which helps preserve certain revenue streams when market fluctuations cause account values to decline.

ii.Asset Liability Management (“ALM”) Strategy (including fixed income instruments and derivatives):

We employ an ALM strategy that utilizes a combination of both traditional fixed income instruments and derivatives to meet expected liabilities associated with our variable annuity living benefit guarantees. The economic liability we manage with this ALM strategy consists of expected living benefit claims under less severe market conditions, which are managed using fixed income instruments, derivatives, or a combination thereof, and potential living benefit claims resulting from more severe market conditions, which are hedged using derivative instruments. For our Prudential Defined Income (“PDI”) variable annuity, we utilize fixed income instruments to meet expected liabilities. For the portion of our ALM strategy executed with derivatives, we enter into a range of exchange-traded and over-the-counter (“OTC”) equity, interest rate and credit derivatives, including, but not limited to: equity and treasury futures; total return, credit default and interest rate swaps; and options including equity options, swaptions, and floors and caps. The intent of this strategy is to more efficiently manage the capital and liquidity associated with these products while continuing to mitigate fluctuations in net income due to movements in capital markets. To achieve this, we periodically review and recalibrate the ALM strategy by optimizing the mix of derivatives and fixed income instruments to achieve expected outcomes.

The valuation of the economic liability we seek to defray excludes certain items that are included within the U.S. GAAP liability, such as non-performance risk (“NPR”) in order to maximize protection irrespective of the possibility of our own default, as well as risk margins (required by U.S. GAAP but different from our best estimate) and valuation methodology differences. The following table provides a reconciliation between the liability reported under U.S. GAAP and the economic liability we manage through our ALM strategy as of the periods indicated:


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021(1)
	(in millions)
U.S. GAAP liability, including NPR, net of reinsurance recoverables	$	5,933	$	13,028
NPR adjustment, net of reinsurance recoverables	4,109		2,832
Subtotal	10,042		15,860
Adjustments including risk margins and valuation methodology differences	(3,122)		(3,444)
Economic liability managed through the ALM strategy	$	6,920	$	12,416

__________

(1)Includes the portion of the traditional variable annuities block of business that was classified as “held-for-sale” as of December 31, 2021 in relation to the PALAC sale, as discussed above.

As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of our fixed income instruments and derivative assets exceed the economic liability within the entities in which the risks reside.

Table of Contents

Under our ALM strategy, we expect differences in the U.S. GAAP net income impact between the changes in value of the fixed income instruments (either designated as available-for-sale or designated as trading) and derivatives as compared to the changes in the embedded derivative liability these assets support. These differences can be primarily attributed to three distinct areas:

•Different valuation methodologies in measuring the liability we intend to cover with fixed income instruments and derivatives versus the liability reported under U.S. GAAP. The valuation methodology utilized in estimating the economic liability we intend to defray with fixed income instruments and derivatives is different from that required to be utilized to measure the liability under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the valuation of the economic liability excludes certain items that are included within the U.S. GAAP liability, such as NPR in order to maximize protection irrespective of the possibility of our own default and risk margins (required by U.S. GAAP but different from our best estimate).

•Different accounting treatment between liabilities and assets supporting those liabilities. Under U.S. GAAP, changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability, derivative instruments and fixed income instruments designated as trading are immediately reflected in net income, while changes in the fair value of fixed income instruments that are designated as available-for-sale are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in other comprehensive income.

•General hedge results. For the derivative portion of the ALM strategy, the net hedging impact (the extent to which the changes in value of the hedging instruments offset the change in value of the portion of the economic liability we are hedging) may be impacted by a number of factors, including: cash flow timing differences between our hedging instruments and the corresponding portion of the economic liability we are hedging, basis differences attributable to actual underlying contractholder funds to be hedged versus hedgeable indices, rebalancing costs related to dynamic rebalancing of hedging instruments as markets move, certain elements of the economic liability that may not be hedged (including certain actuarial assumptions), and implied and realized market volatility on the hedge positions relative to the portion of the economic liability we seek to hedge.

iii. Capital Hedge Program:

We employ a capital hedge program to protect a portion of the overall capital position of the variable annuities business against its exposure to the equity markets. The capital hedge program is conducted using equity derivatives which include equity call and put options, total return swaps and futures contracts. Changes in value of these derivatives are excluded from adjusted operating income, which the Company believes enhances the understanding of underlying performance trends.

Product Specific Risks and Risk Mitigants

As noted above, the risks associated with our Individual Retirement Strategies’ products are mitigated through product design features, including automatic rebalancing, as well as through our ALM strategy and external reinsurance. The following table sets forth the risk management profile of our living benefit guarantees and guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”) features as of the periods indicated:

Results excluded from adjusted operating income

The following table provides the net impact to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations from the portion of Retirement Strategies’ results excluded from adjusted operating income, which is primarily driven by the changes in the U.S. GAAP embedded derivative liability and hedge positions under the ALM strategy as described above, and the related amortization of DAC and other costs:

(1)Prior periods have been updated to reflect the aggregated results of the Retirement Strategies segment.

(2)Positive amounts represent income; negative amounts represent a loss.

(3)Represents the change in the liability (excluding NPR) for our variable annuities living benefit guarantees which is measured utilizing a valuation methodology that is required under U.S. GAAP. This liability includes such items as risk margins which are required by U.S. GAAP but not included in our best estimate of the liability.

(4)Represents the change in fair value of the derivatives utilized to hedge potential claims associated with our variable annuity living benefit guarantees.

(5)Represents the changes in fair value of equity derivatives of the capital hedge program intended to protect a portion of the overall capital position of the variable annuities business against its exposure to the equity markets.

(6)Largely represents realized gains (losses) associated with sales and maturities of fixed maturity securities and derivative instruments.

(7)Represents the immediate impacts in current period results from changes in current market conditions on estimates of profitability.

(8)Excludes amounts from the change in unrealized gains and losses on fixed income instruments recorded in OCI (versus net income) of $(106) million, and $132 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $(290) million and $(1,738) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

For the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2022, the losses of $609 million and $865 million, respectively, were driven by the impact of rising interest rates on fixed maturity securities and derivatives as well as unfavorable impacts related to the U.S. GAAP liability before NPR, including the change in fair value of hedge assets (excluding capital hedges) largely due to unfavorable equity markets and the impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements. Also contributing to the decrease were unfavorable impacts related to the amortization of DAC and other costs. These decreases were partially offset by favorable NPR adjustments largely due to favorable impacts from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements and widening credit spreads, gains associated with our capital hedges driven by unfavorable equity markets as well as favorable market experience updates resulting from the impact of rising interest rates.

(4)The benefits and administrative ratios are measures used to evaluate profitability and efficiency.

Adjusted Operating Income

Three Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income increased $36 million, including an unfavorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements. Results for the second quarter of 2022 included a $3 million net charge from these updates while 2021 included a $1 million net benefit from these updates. Excluding this item, adjusted operating income increased $40 million, primarily reflecting more favorable underwriting results in our group life business including a decline in COVID-19 impacts on non-experience-rated contracts, and higher underwriting results in our group disability business driven by favorable claims experience and a favorable impact to reserves from higher interest rates on long-term disability contracts, as well as business growth. These increases were partially offset by lower net investment spread results driven by lower income on non-coupon investments.

Six Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income increased $57 million, including an unfavorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above. Excluding this item, adjusted operating income increased $61 million, primarily reflecting higher underwriting results in our group disability business driven by favorable claims experience and a favorable impact to reserves from higher interest rates on long-term disability contracts, as well as business growth. Also contributing to the increase were more favorable underwriting results in our group life business, including a decline in COVID-19 impacts on non-experience-rated contracts, and business growth. These increases were partially offset by higher expenses and lower net investment spread results driven by lower income on non-coupon investments.

Revenues, Benefits and Expenses

Three Month Comparison. Revenues decreased $22 million. Excluding the impact of our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above, revenues decreased $18 million. The decrease primarily reflected lower net investment income driven by lower income on non-coupon investments.

Benefits and expenses decreased $58 million. The decrease primarily reflected lower policyholders’ benefits and changes in reserves in our group life business driven by more favorable claim experience, including a decline in COVID-19 impacts, as well as in our group disability business driven by a more favorable impact from claims experience and a favorable impact to reserves from higher interest rates on long-term disability contracts. These decreases were partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses.

Six Month Comparison. Revenues decreased $34 million. Excluding the impact of our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above, revenues decreased $30 million. The decrease primarily reflected lower net investment income driven by lower income on non-coupon investments.

Benefits and expenses decreased $91 million. The decrease primarily reflected lower policyholders’ benefits and changes in reserves in our group life business driven by more favorable claim experience, including a decline in COVID-19 impacts, as well as in our group disability business driven by a more favorable impact from claims experience and a favorable impact to reserves from higher interest rates on long-term disability contracts. These decreases were partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses.

Sales Results

The following table sets forth Group Insurance’s annualized new business premiums, as defined under “—Segment Measures” above, for the periods indicated:

Annualized new business premiums(1):
Group life	$	26	$	16	$	206	$	191
Group disability	17		35		147		155
Total	$	43	$	51	$	353	$	346

__________

(1)Amounts exclude new premiums resulting from rate changes on existing policies, from additional coverage under our Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance contract and from excess premiums on group universal life insurance that build cash value but do not purchase face amounts.

Total annualized new business premiums for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $8 million compared to the prior year period, driven by lower sales in our group disability business, primarily due to a large client sale in the Association segment in the prior year period, partially offset by higher group life sales in the Premier and National segments.

Total annualized new business premiums for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $7 million compared to the prior year period, driven by higher group life sales in the Premier and National segments. This favorable impact was partially offset by lower sales in our group disability business, as noted above; however, current period sales are also reflective of an increase in supplemental health product sales in the Premier and National segments.

Adjusted Operating Income

Three Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income decreased $1,471 million, primarily reflecting an unfavorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements. Results for the second quarter of 2022 included a $1,401 million net charge from these updates, mainly driven by unfavorable impacts related to assumptions for policyholder behavior and mortality, and inclusive of out of period adjustments (see Note 1 and Note 13 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information). Results for the second quarter of 2021 included a $7 million net benefit from these updates. Excluding these items, adjusted operating income decreased $63 million, primarily reflecting lower net investment spread results driven by lower income on non-coupon investments, partially offset by more favorable underwriting results, net of reinsurance.

Six Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income decreased $1,376 million, including an unfavorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above. Excluding this item, adjusted operating income increased $32 million primarily reflecting less unfavorable underwriting results, driven by the impact from mortality experience, net of reinsurance, including lower COVID-19 related claims, partially offset by lower net investment spread results driven by lower income on non-coupon investments.

Revenues, Benefits and Expenses

Three Month Comparison. Revenues increased $392 million. Excluding the impact of our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above, revenues increased $52 million. This increase was primarily driven by higher premiums due to lower ceded reinsurance, which was mostly offset in policyholders’ benefits below, and higher policy charges and fee income primarily due to business growth.

Benefits and expenses increased $1,863 million. Excluding the impact of our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above, benefits and expenses increased $115 million. This increase was primarily driven by higher policyholders’ benefits and changes in reserves, driven by lower ceded reinsurance, as described above.

Six Month Comparison. Revenues increased $514 million. Excluding the impact of our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above, revenues increased $174 million. This increase was primarily driven by higher premiums due to lower ceded reinsurance, which was mostly offset in policyholders’ benefits below, higher policy charges and fee income due to business growth, and higher investment income from higher income on non-coupon investments and higher average invested assets.

Benefits and expenses increased $1,890 million. Excluding the impact of our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above, benefits and expenses increased $142 million. This increase was primarily driven by higher policyholders’ benefits and changes in reserves, driven by lower ceded reinsurance, as described above, partially offset by a favorable comparative impact from mortality experience, net of reinsurance, including lower COVID-19 related claims.

Results for the second quarter of 2022 included a $17 million net charge from these updates primarily reflecting updates to persistency assumptions in the Medicare line. Excluding this item, adjusted operating income decreased $6 million, primarily reflecting a decrease in the Health Under 65 line driven by lower consumer volume and agent capacity.

Excluding this item, adjusted operating income decreased $4 million primarily reflecting a decrease in the Health Under 65 line driven by lower consumer volume and agent capacity, partially offset by an increase in the Medicare line driven by higher commission revenue, which was partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses supporting business growth.

Revenues and Expenses

Three Month Comparison. Revenues decreased $34 million. Excluding the impact of our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above, revenues decreased $17 million primarily driven by lower consumer volume and agent capacity in the Health Under 65 line, and lower case referral revenues, primarily in the Life and Personal Finance lines. These decreases were partially offset by higher commission revenue in the Medicare line.

International Businesses

Business Update

•In July 2022, the Company completed the acquisition (through a private equity limited partnership managed by LeapFrog Investments) of a 15% minority interest in Alexander Forbes Group Holdings Limited, a leading provider of financial advice, retirement, investment and holistic wealth management services in South Africa. Subsequently, the Company issued a public tender offer to increase its stake up to 33%, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022. This investment is consistent with the Company’s strategic focus internationally on higher-growth emerging markets and furthers the partnership’s specific objective to identify and make strategic investments in high quality financial services companies in selected African geographies.

Operating Results

The results of our International Businesses’ operations are translated on the basis of weighted average monthly exchange rates, inclusive of the effects of the intercompany arrangement discussed in “—Results of Operations—Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates” above. To provide a better understanding of operating performance within the International Businesses, where indicated below, we have analyzed our results of operations excluding the effect of the year over year change in foreign currency exchange rates. Our results of operations, excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, were derived by translating foreign currencies to USD at uniform exchange rates for all periods presented, including for constant dollar information discussed below. For our Japan operations, we used an exchange rate of 104 yen per USD, which was determined in connection with the foreign currency income hedging program discussed in “—Results of Operations—Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates” above. In addition, for constant dollar information discussed below, activity denominated in USD is generally reported based on the amounts as transacted in USD. Annualized new business premiums presented on a constant exchange rate basis in the “Sales Results” section below reflect translation based on these same uniform exchange rates.

The amount of annualized new business premiums and the sales mix in terms of types and currency denomination of products for any given period can be significantly impacted by several factors, including but not limited to: the addition of new products, discontinuation of existing products, changes in credited interest rates for certain products and other product modifications, changes in premium rates, changes in interest rates or fluctuations in currency markets, changes in tax laws, changes in life insurance regulations or changes in the competitive environment. Sales volume may increase or decrease prior to certain of these changes becoming effective, and then fluctuate in the other direction following such changes.

Our diverse product portfolio in Japan, in terms of currency mix and premium payment structure, allows us to adapt to changing market and competitive dynamics, including the extremely low interest rate environment. We regularly examine our product offerings and their related profitability and, as a result, we have repriced or discontinued sales of certain products that do not meet our profit expectations. The impact of these actions, coupled with the introduction of certain new products, has generally resulted in an increase in sales of products denominated in USD relative to products denominated in other currencies.

Three Month Comparison. The loss from Corporate and Other operations, on an adjusted operating income basis, decreased $77 million.

Pension and employee benefits results were favorable by $28 million primarily driven by higher earnings from our pension and post-retirement plans resulting from higher returns on plan assets, and lower benefit costs for these plans resulting from the sale of the Full Service Retirement business. Also contributing to the decreased loss was higher investment income of $14 million, primarily reflecting an increase in highly liquid asset balances resulting from the sales of the Full Service Retirement business and PALAC, which represented a portion of the former Individual Annuities’ variable annuity block of business.

Six Month Comparison. The loss from Corporate and Other operations, on an adjusted operating income basis, decreased $33 million. Pension and employee benefits results were favorable by $46 million primarily driven by higher earnings from our pension and post-retirement plans resulting from higher returns on plan assets, lower benefit costs for these plans resulting from the sales of the Full Service Retirement business and PALAC, and a favorable impact from design changes to the Company’s Retiree Medical Savings Account plan. Interest expense on debt decreased $12 million, primarily reflecting lower average debt balances. Net charges from other corporate activities increased $30 million primarily driven by higher expenses, including an increase in advertising and corporate initiative costs, partially offset by favorable exchange rate impacts, lower costs for long-term compensation plans, and a decrease in legal reserves.

Results for the second quarter of 2022 included a $28 million net charge from these updates, while results for the second quarter of 2021 included a $62 million net benefit from these updates. Excluding this item, results decreased $405 million compared to the prior year period primarily driven by the unfavorable impacts from changes in the market value of equity securities and derivatives used for duration management.

Six Month Comparison. Results decreased $608 million, including an unfavorable comparative net impact from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, as discussed above. Excluding this item, results decreased $518 million compared to the prior year period primarily driven by the unfavorable impacts from changes in the market value of equity securities and derivatives used for duration management.

Other Divested and Run-off Businesses

Results for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $558 million and $327 million, respectively, primarily reflecting the gain on the sale of the Full Service Retirement business. See Note 1 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Results for the first six months of 2022 also include losses related to the Full Service Retirement business in the prior quarter, largely driven by the impact of rising interest rates on the market value of assets supporting experience-rated contractholder liabilities. For more information, see “—Experience-Rated Contractholder Liabilities, Assets Supporting Experience-Rated Contractholder Liabilities and Other Related Investments.”

Closed Block Division

The Closed Block division includes certain in-force traditional domestic participating life insurance and annuity products and assets that are used for the payment of benefits and policyholder dividends on these policies (collectively the “Closed Block”), as well as certain related assets and liabilities. We no longer offer these traditional domestic participating policies. See Note 7 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Each year, the Board of Directors of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”) determines the dividends payable on participating policies for the following year based on the experience of the Closed Block, including investment income, net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses), mortality experience and other factors. Although the Closed Block experience for dividend action decisions is based upon statutory results, at the time the Closed Block was established, we developed, as required by U.S. GAAP, an actuarial calculation of the timing of the maximum future earnings from the policies included in the Closed Block. If actual cumulative earnings in any given period are greater than the cumulative earnings we expected, we record this excess as a policyholder dividend obligation. We will subsequently pay this excess to Closed Block policyholders as an additional dividend unless it is otherwise offset by future Closed Block performance that is less favorable than we originally expected. The policyholder dividends we charge to expense within the Closed Block division will include any change in our policyholder dividend obligation that we recognize for the excess of actual cumulative earnings in any given period over the cumulative earnings we expected in addition to the actual policyholder dividends declared by the Board of Directors of PICA.

Table of Contents

If actual cumulative earnings fall below expected cumulative earnings in future periods, earnings volatility in the Closed Block division, which is primarily due to changes in investment results, may not be offset by changes in the cumulative earnings policyholder dividend obligation. For a discussion of the Closed Block division’s realized investment gains (losses), net, see “—General Account Investments.”

As of June 30, 2022, the excess of actual cumulative earnings over the expected cumulative earnings was $3,734 million, which was recorded as a policyholder dividend obligation. Actual cumulative earnings, as required by U.S. GAAP, reflect the recognition of realized investment gains and losses in the current period, as well as changes in assets and related liabilities that support the Closed Block policies. As of June 30, 2022, net unrealized investment losses have arisen subsequent to the establishment of the Closed Block due to the impacts of rising interest rates on the market value of fixed maturities available-for-sale. The impact of these net unrealized investment losses has been reflected as a decrease to the policyholder dividend obligation of $2,172 million at June 30, 2022, with a corresponding amount reported in AOCI.

Operating Results

The following table sets forth the Closed Block division’s results for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(in millions)
U.S. GAAP results:

Income (loss) before income taxes and equity in earnings of operating joint ventures	$	13	$	31	$	36	$	65

Income (loss) Before Income Taxes and Equity in Earnings of Operating Joint Ventures

Three Month Comparison. Income (loss) before income taxes and equity in earnings of operating joint ventures decreased $18 million. Net investment activity results decreased primarily reflecting lower other income driven by unfavorable changes in the value of equity securities, a decrease in realized investment gains (losses) driven by losses on the sale of fixed income investments in the current quarter and net unfavorable changes in the fair value of derivatives used in risk management activities, as well as lower net investment income on coupon investments. Net insurance activity results reflected an unfavorable comparative change driven by lower premiums due to the runoff of policies in force, partially offset by a favorable comparative change in claims experience. As a result of the above and other variances, a $549 million reduction in the policyholder dividend obligation was recorded in the second quarter of 2022, compared to a $483 million increase in the second quarter of 2021.

Six Month Comparison. Income (loss) before income taxes and equity in earnings of operating joint ventures decreased $29 million. Net investment activity results decreased primarily reflecting lower other income driven by unfavorable changes in the value of equity securities, a decrease in realized investment gains (losses) driven by losses on the sale of fixed income investments in the current quarter, and lower net investment income on coupon investments. Net insurance activity results reflected an unfavorable comparative change driven by lower premiums due to the runoff of policies in force, partially offset by a favorable comparative change in claims experience. As a result of the above and other variances, a $653 million reduction in the policyholder dividend obligation was recorded in the first six months of 2022, compared to a $729 million increase in the first six months of 2021.

Revenues, Benefits and Expenses

Three Month Comparison. Revenues decreased $1,084 million primarily driven by a decrease in other income, realized gains (losses), net investment income and premiums, as discussed above.

Benefits and expenses decreased $1,066 million primarily driven by a decrease in dividends to policyholders, reflecting a reduction in the policyholder dividend obligation expense due to changes in cumulative earnings, as discussed above.

Six Month Comparison. Revenues decreased $1,484 million primarily driven by a decrease in other income, realized investment gains (losses), net investment income and premiums, as discussed above.

Benefits and expenses decreased $1,455 million primarily driven by a decrease in dividends to policyholders, reflecting a reduction in the policyholder dividend obligation expense due to changes in cumulative earnings, as discussed above.

Experience-Rated Contractholder Liabilities,

Assets Supporting Experience-Rated Contractholder Liabilities and Other Related Investments

International Businesses. Certain products included in our International Businesses are experience-rated in that investment results associated with these products are expected to ultimately accrue to contractholders. The majority of investments supporting these experience-rated products are carried at fair value.

In our International Businesses, the experience-rated products are fully participating. As a result, the entire return on the underlying investments is passed back to policyholders through a corresponding adjustment to the related liability. These investments and related liabilities are reflected on the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as “Assets supporting experience-rated contractholder liabilities, at fair value” and “Policyholders’ account balances,” respectively The associated realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the investments are reported on the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Other income (loss)”, while interest and dividend income are reported in “Net investment income.”

Adjusted operating income excludes net investment gains (losses) on assets supporting experience-rated contractholder liabilities. This is consistent with the exclusion of realized investment gains (losses) with respect to other investments supporting insurance liabilities managed on a consistent basis. In addition, to be consistent with the historical treatment of charges related to realized investment gains (losses) on investments, adjusted operating income also excludes the change in contractholder liabilities due to asset value changes in the pool of investments supporting these experience-rated contracts, which are reflected in “Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances.” The result of this approach is that adjusted operating income for these products includes net fee revenue and interest spread we earn on these experience-rated contracts, and excludes changes in fair value of the pool of investments, both realized and unrealized, that we expect will ultimately accrue to the contractholders.

Full Service Retirement Business. Prior to the second quarter of 2022, the Full Service Retirement business included within the Company’s Divested and Run-off Businesses held two types of experience-rated products that were supported by assets supporting experience-rated contractholder liabilities and other related investments. On April 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Full Service Retirement business to Great-West. See Note 1 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this transaction. For additional information on these products and how they were recorded in the Company’s financial statements prior to the sale, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Experience-Rated Contractholder Liabilities, Assets Supporting Experience-Rated Contractholder Liabilities and Other Related Investments” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Valuation of Assets and Liabilities

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The authoritative guidance related to fair value measurement establishes a framework that includes a three-level hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement. The fair values of assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 include at least one significant unobservable input in the measurement. See Note 6 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for an additional description of the valuation hierarchy levels as well as for the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by hierarchy level presented on a consolidated basis.

The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of the periods indicated, and the portion of such assets and liabilities that are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The table also provides details about these assets and liabilities excluding those held in the Closed Block division. We believe the amounts excluding the Closed Block division are most relevant to an understanding of our operations that are pertinent to investors in Prudential Financial because substantially all Closed Block division assets support obligations and liabilities relating to the Closed Block policies only. See Note 7 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Closed Block.

(1)Level 3 assets expressed as a percentage of total assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for PFI excluding the Closed Block division and for the Closed Block division totaled 1.5% and 2.8%, respectively, as of June 30, 2022, and 1.6% and 4.0%, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.

(2)“All other” represents cash equivalents and short-term investments.

(3)“Other invested assets” and “Other liabilities” primarily include derivatives. The amounts include the impact of netting subject to master netting agreements.

The determination of fair value, which for certain assets and liabilities is dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions, can have a significant impact on our results of operations and may require the application of a greater degree of judgment depending on market conditions, as the ability to value assets and liabilities can be significantly impacted by a decrease in market activity or a lack of transactions executed in an orderly manner. The continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy may have adverse effects on the valuation of assets and liabilities. Due to the highly uncertain nature of these conditions, it is not possible to estimate the overall impacts at this time.

Fixed maturity securities included in Level 3 in our fair value hierarchy are generally priced based on internally-developed valuations or indicative broker quotes. For certain private fixed maturity and equity securities, the internal valuation models use significant unobservable inputs and, accordingly, such securities are included in Level 3 in our fair value hierarchy. Level 3 fixed maturity securities for PFI excluding the Closed Block division included approximately $1.3 billion of public fixed maturities as of June 30, 2022, with values primarily based on indicative broker quotes, and approximately $3.2 billion of private fixed maturities, with values primarily based on internally-developed models. Significant unobservable inputs used in their valuation included: issue specific spread adjustments, material non-public financial information, management judgment, estimation of future earnings and cash flows, default rate assumptions, liquidity assumptions and indicative quotes from market makers. Separate account assets included in Level 3 in our fair value hierarchy primarily include corporate securities and commercial mortgage loans.

Embedded derivatives reported in “Future policy benefits” and “Policyholders’ account balances” that are included in Level 3 of our fair value hierarchy represent general account liabilities pertaining to living benefit features of the Company’s

120

Table of Contents

variable annuity contracts and the index-linked interest credited features on certain life and annuity products. These are carried at fair value with changes in fair value included in “Realized investment gains (losses), net.” These embedded derivatives are valued using internally-developed models that require significant estimates and assumptions developed by management. Changes in these estimates and assumptions can have a significant impact on the results of our operations.

For additional information about the valuation techniques and the key estimates and assumptions used in our determination of fair value, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

General Account Investments

Portfolio Composition

Our investment portfolio consists of public and private fixed maturity securities, commercial mortgage and other loans, policy loans and non-coupon investments, which include equity securities and other invested assets such as limited partnerships and limited liability companies (“LPs/LLCs”), real estate held through direct ownership, derivative instruments and seed money investments in separate accounts. The composition of our general account reflects, within the discipline provided by our risk management approach, our need for competitive results and the selection of diverse investment alternatives available primarily through our PGIM segment. The size of our portfolio enables us to invest in asset classes that may be unavailable to the typical investor.

The following tables set forth the composition of our general account investment portfolio apportioned between PFI excluding the Closed Block division and the Closed Block division, as of the dates indicated:

The decrease in general account investments attributable to PFI excluding the Closed Block division in the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to an increase in U.S. interest rates and the translation impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening against the yen, partially offset by the reinvestment of net investment income and net business inflows. For information regarding the methodology used in determining the fair value of our fixed maturities, see Note 6 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1)Other invested assets consist of investments in LPs/LLCs, investment real estate held through direct ownership, derivative instruments and other miscellaneous investments.

The decrease in general account investments related to our Japanese insurance operations in the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to an increase in U.S. interest rates and the translation impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening against the yen, partially offset by net business inflows and the reinvestment of net investment income.

As of June 30, 2022, our Japanese insurance operations had $85.8 billion, at carrying value, of investments denominated in U.S. dollars, including $2.0 billion that were hedged to yen through third-party derivative contracts and $74.4 billion that support liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder constituting part of the hedging of foreign currency exchange rate exposure to U.S. dollar-equivalent equity. As of December 31, 2021, our Japanese insurance operations had $92.5 billion, at carrying value, of investments denominated in U.S. dollars, including $2.1 billion that were hedged to yen through third-party derivative contracts and $80.2 billion that support liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder constituting part of the hedging of foreign currency exchange rate exposure of U.S. dollar-equivalent equity. The $6.7 billion decrease in the carrying value of U.S. dollar-denominated investments from December 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to an increase in U.S. interest rates partially offset by reinvestment of net investment income and portfolio growth as a result of net business inflows.

Our Japanese insurance operations had $6.0 billion and $8.0 billion, at carrying value, of investments denominated in Australian dollars that support liabilities denominated in Australian dollars as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The $2.0 billion decrease in the carrying value of Australian dollar-denominated investments from December 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to run-off of the portfolio and an increase in Australian government bond rates. For additional information regarding U.S. and Australian dollar investments held in our Japanese insurance operations and a discussion of our yen hedging strategy, see “—Results of Operations by Segment—Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates” above.

(1)For interim periods, yields are annualized. The denominator in the yield percentage is based on quarterly average carrying values for all asset types except for fixed maturities which are based on amortized cost, net of allowance. Amounts for fixed maturities, short-term investments and cash equivalents are also netted for securities lending activity (i.e., income netted for rebate expenses and asset values netted for securities lending liabilities). A yield is not presented for other invested assets as it is not considered a meaningful measure of investment performance. Yields exclude investment income and assets related to other invested assets.

(2)Includes fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity and excludes fixed maturity securities classified as trading, which are included in other invested assets.

(3)Other invested assets consist of investments in LPs/LLCs, investment real estate held through direct ownership, derivative instruments, fixed maturities classified as trading and other miscellaneous investments.

(4)Includes net investment income of our investment management operations.

(5)The total yield was 3.46% and 3.53% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The investment income after investment expenses yield attributable to our general account investments, excluding both the Closed Block division and the Japanese insurance operations’ portfolio, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, remained relatively unchanged.

The investment income after investment expenses yield attributable to the Japanese insurance operations’ portfolio, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, remained relatively unchanged.

Both the U.S. dollar-denominated and Australian dollar-denominated fixed maturities that are not hedged to yen through third-party derivative contracts provide a yield that is substantially higher than the yield on comparable yen-denominated fixed maturities. The average amortized cost of U.S. dollar-denominated fixed maturities that are not hedged to yen through third-party derivative contracts was approximately $61.6 billion and $57.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The majority of U.S. dollar-denominated fixed maturities support liabilities that are denominated in U.S. dollars. The average amortized cost of Australian dollar-denominated fixed maturities that are not hedged to yen through third-party derivative contracts was approximately $6.4 billion and $8.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The majority of Australian dollar-denominated fixed maturities support liabilities that are denominated in Australian dollars.

Three Month Comparison. Net losses on sales and maturities of fixed maturity securities were $577 million for the second quarter of 2022 primarily driven by rotation sales of public securities into private securities and mortgage loans coupled with relative value trading in a higher interest rate environment, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on U.S. and Australian dollar-denominated securities that matured or were sold within our International Businesses segment. Net gains on sales and maturities of fixed maturity securities were $149 million for the second quarter of 2021 primarily driven by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on U.S. and Australian dollar-denominated securities that matured or were sold within our International Businesses segment and other sales of fixed maturity securities within our domestic segments.

Net realized losses on derivative instruments of $636 million, for the second quarter of 2022 primarily included:

•$1,758 million of losses on interest rate derivatives due to an increase in the swap and U.S. Treasury rates; and

•$81 million of losses on credit default swaps due to spreads widening.

Partially offsetting these losses were:

•$491 million of gains on product-related embedded derivatives and related hedge positions associated with certain variable annuity contracts;

•$417 million of gains on capital hedges due to decreases in equity indices; and

•$355 million of gains on foreign currency hedges due to U.S. dollar appreciation versus the Euro, British Pound, Brazilian Real, Australian dollar, and Chilean Peso.

Net realized gains on derivative instruments of $165 million, for the second quarter of 2021 primarily included:

•$1,103 million of gains on interest rate derivatives due to decrease in the swap and U.S. Treasury rates;

•$87 million of gains on foreign currency hedges due to U.S. dollar interest rates declining more than foreign interest rates; and

•$36 million of gains for fees earned on fee-based synthetic guaranteed investment contracts.

Partially offsetting these gains were:

•$625 million of losses on product-related embedded derivatives and related hedge positions associated with certain variable annuity contracts; and

•$464 million of losses on capital hedges due to increases in equity indices.

For a discussion of living benefit guarantees and related hedge positions in our Individual Retirement Strategies business, see “—Results of Operations by Segment—U.S. Businesses—Retirement Strategies” above.

Included in the table above are “Related adjustments,” which include the portions of “Realized investment gains (losses), net” that are either (1) included in adjusted operating income or (2) included in other reconciling line items to adjusted operating income, such as “Market experience updates” and “Divested and Run-off Businesses.” “Related adjustments” also includes the portions of “Other income (loss)” and “Net investment income” that are excluded from adjusted operating income. These adjustments are made to arrive at “Realized investment gains (losses), net, and related adjustments” which is excluded from adjusted operating income. See Note 13 for additional details on adjusted operating income and its reconciliation to “Income (loss) before income taxes and equity in earnings of operating joint ventures.” Results for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021 reflect net related adjustments of $(1,047) million and $(15) million, respectively. Both periods include changes in the fair value of equity securities and fixed income securities that are designated as trading, as well as settlements and changes in the value of derivatives. Results for the first six months of 2022 also include the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on certain non-local currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Also included in the table above are “Charges related to realized investment gains (losses), net,” which are excluded from adjusted operating income and which may be reflected as either a net charge or net benefit. Results for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021 reflected a net charge of $216 million and a net benefit of $3 million, respectively, and were primarily driven by the impact of derivative activity on the amortization of DAC and other costs, and certain policyholder reserves, inclusive of impacts from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements.

Six Month Comparison. Net losses on sales and maturities of fixed maturity securities were $913 million for the first six months of 2022 primarily driven by rotation sales of public securities into private securities and mortgage loans coupled with relative value trading in a higher interest rate environment, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on U.S. and Australian dollar-denominated securities that matured or sold within our International Businesses segment. Net gains on sales and maturities of fixed maturity securities were $1,199 million for the first six months of 2021 primarily driven by the sales of U.S. treasuries acquired in a higher interest-rate environment within our domestic segments and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on U.S. and Australian dollar-denominated securities that matured or were sold within our International Businesses segment.

Net realized losses on derivative instruments of $745 million, for the first six months of 2022 primarily included:

•$3,183 million of losses on interest rate derivatives due to an increase in the swap and U.S. Treasury rates; and

•$99 million of losses on credit default swaps due to spreads widening.

Partially offsetting these losses were:

•$1,841 million of gains on product-related embedded derivatives and related hedge positions associated with certain variable annuity contracts;

•$240 million of gains on foreign currency hedges due to U.S. dollar appreciation versus the Euro, British Pound, Brazilian Real, Australian dollar, and Chilean Peso.

Net realized gains on derivative instruments of $1,007 million for the first six months of 2021 primarily included:

•$2,248 million of gains on product-related embedded derivatives and related hedge positions associated with certain variable annuity contracts; and

•$107 million of gains on foreign currency hedges due to U.S. dollar appreciation versus the Euro and due to U.S. dollar interest rates declining more than foreign interest rates.

Partially offsetting these gains were:

•$795 million of losses on capital hedges due to increases in equity indices; and

•$625 million of losses on interest rate derivatives due to increases in the swap and U.S. Treasury rates.

Results for the first six months of 2022 and 2021 reflected net related adjustments of $(1,652) million and $(728) million, respectively. Both periods include changes in the fair value of equity securities and fixed income securities that are designated as trading, as well as settlements and changes in the value of derivatives. Results for the first six months of 2022 also include the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on certain non-local currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Results for the first six months of 2022 and 2021 reflect net charges of $555 million and $236 million, respectively, and were primarily driven by the impact of derivative activity on the amortization of DAC and other costs, and certain policyholder reserves, inclusive of impacts from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements.

Credit Losses

The level of credit losses generally reflects current and expected economic conditions and is expected to increase when economic conditions worsen and to decrease when economic conditions improve. Historically, the causes of credit losses have been specific to each individual issuer and have not directly resulted in credit losses to other securities within the same industry or geographic region. We may also realize additional credit and interest rate-related losses through sales of investments pursuant to our credit risk and portfolio management objectives.

We maintain separate monitoring processes for public and private fixed maturities and create watch lists to highlight securities that require special scrutiny and management. For private placements, our credit and portfolio management processes help ensure prudent controls over valuation and management. We have separate pricing and authorization processes to establish “checks and balances” for new investments. We apply consistent standards of credit analysis and due diligence for all transactions, whether they originate through our own in-house staff or through agents. Our regional offices closely monitor the

129

Table of Contents

portfolios in their regions. We set all valuation standards centrally, and we assess the fair value of all investments quarterly. Our public and private fixed maturity investment managers formally review all public and private fixed maturity holdings on a quarterly basis and more frequently when necessary to identify potential credit deterioration whether due to ratings downgrades, unexpected price variances and/or company or industry-specific concerns.

For LPs/LLCs accounted for using the equity method and for wholly-owned investment real estate, the carrying value of these investments is written down or impaired to fair value when a decline in value is considered to be other-than-temporary. For additional information regarding our OTTI policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

COVID-19

We believe our investment portfolio has been diligently constructed with a strong focus on ALM discipline, risk management, and capital preservation. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our portfolio has remained resilient, bolstered by our portfolio construction, investment strategy and our experience in managing highly specialized asset classes throughout credit cycles. We continue to monitor our portfolio for potential credit issues and opportunities as part of our overall portfolio and risk management process.

Russia and Ukraine Exposure

In April 2022, we divested all of our holdings in Russian sovereign and state-owned enterprises and have no direct investment exposure in either country as of the date of this filing.

General Account Investments of PFI excluding Closed Block Division

In the following sections, we provide details about our investment portfolio, excluding investments held in the Closed Block division. We believe the details of the composition of our investment portfolio excluding the Closed Block division are most relevant to an understanding of our operations that are pertinent to investors in Prudential Financial, Inc. because substantially all Closed Block division assets support obligations and liabilities relating to the Closed Block policies only. See Note 7 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Closed Block.

Fixed Maturity Securities

In the following sections, we provide details about our fixed maturity securities portfolio, which excludes fixed maturity securities classified as assets supporting experience-rated contractholder liabilities and classified as trading.

Fixed Maturity Securities Credit Quality

The Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) evaluates the investments of insurers for statutory reporting purposes and assigns fixed maturity securities to one of six categories called “NAIC Designations.” In general, NAIC Designations of “1” highest quality, or “2” high quality, include fixed maturities considered investment grade, which include securities rated Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”). NAIC Designations of “3” through “6” generally include fixed maturities referred to as below investment grade, which include securities rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s and BB+ or lower by S&P. The NAIC Designations for commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, including our asset-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, are based on security level expected losses as modeled by an independent third-party (engaged by the NAIC) and the statutory carrying value of the security, including any purchase discounts or impairment charges previously recognized.

As a result of time lags between the funding of investments, the finalization of legal documents, and the completion of the SVO filing process, the fixed maturity portfolio includes certain securities that have not yet been designated by the SVO as of each balance sheet date. Pending receipt of SVO designations, the categorization of these securities by NAIC Designation is based on the expected ratings indicated by internal analysis.

Investments of our international insurance companies are not subject to NAIC guidelines. Investments of our Japanese insurance operations are regulated locally by the Financial Services Agency (“FSA”), an agency of the Japanese government. The FSA has its own investment quality criteria and risk control standards. Our Japanese insurance companies comply with the FSA’s credit quality review and risk monitoring guidelines. The credit quality ratings of the investments of our Japanese insurance companies are based on ratings assigned by nationally recognized credit rating agencies, including Moody’s and S&P, or rating equivalents based on ratings assigned by Japanese credit ratings agencies.

Table of Contents

We originate commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans using a dedicated sales and underwriting staff through our various regional offices in the U.S. and international offices primarily in London and Tokyo. All loans are underwritten consistently to our standards using a proprietary quality rating system that has been developed from our industry experience in real estate and mortgage lending.

Uncollateralized loans primarily represent corporate loans held by the Company’s international insurance operations.

Residential property loans primarily include Japanese recourse loans. To the extent there is a default on these recourse loans, we can make a claim against the personal assets of the property owner, in addition to the mortgaged property. These loans are also backed by third-party guarantors.

Other collateralized loans include mezzanine real estate debt investments and consumer loans.

Loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios are measures commonly used to assess the quality of commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans. The loan-to-value ratio compares the amount of the loan to the fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan and is commonly expressed as a percentage. A loan-to-value ratio less than 100% indicates an excess of collateral value over the loan amount. Loan-to-value ratios greater than 100% indicate that the loan amount exceeds the collateral value. The debt service coverage ratio compares a property’s net operating income to its debt service payments. Debt service coverage ratios less than 1.0 times indicate that property operations do not generate enough income to cover the loan’s current debt payments. A debt service coverage ratio greater than 1.0 times indicates an excess of net operating income over the debt service payments.

As of June 30, 2022, our commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans attributable to PFI excluding the Closed Block division had a weighted-average debt service coverage ratio of 2.43 times and a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of 57%. As of June 30, 2022, 95% of commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans were fixed rate loans. For those commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans that were originated in 2022, the weighted-average debt service coverage ratio was 2.40 times, and the weighted-average loan-to-value ratio was 64%.

The values utilized in calculating these loan-to-value ratios are developed as part of our periodic review of the commercial mortgage and agricultural property loan portfolio, which includes an internal evaluation of the underlying collateral value. Our periodic review also includes a credit quality re-rating process, whereby we update the internal quality rating originally assigned at underwriting based on the proprietary quality rating system mentioned above. As discussed below, the internal credit quality rating is a key input in determining our allowance for credit losses.

For loans with collateral under construction, renovation or lease-up, a stabilized value and projected net operating income are used in the calculation of the loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios. Our commercial mortgage and agricultural property loan portfolio included $2.6 billion and $2.3 billion of such loans as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. All else being equal, these loans are inherently riskier than those collateralized by properties that have already stabilized. As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were less than $1 million of allowance related to these loans. In addition, these unstabilized loans are included in the calculation of our portfolio reserve, as discussed below.

Commercial Mortgage and Other Loans Quality

The commercial mortgage and other loans portfolio is monitored on an ongoing basis. If certain criteria are met, loans are assigned to either of the following “watch list” categories:

(1) “Closely Monitored,” which includes a variety of considerations, such as when loan metrics fall below acceptable levels, the borrower is not cooperative or has requested a material modification, or the portfolio manager has directed a change in category; or

(2) “Not in Good Standing,” which includes loans in default or with a high probability of loss of principal, such as when the loan is in the process of foreclosure or the borrower is in bankruptcy.

Our workout and special servicing professionals manage the loans on the watch list.

The current expected credit loss (“CECL”) allowance represents the Company’s best estimate of expected credit losses over the remaining life of the assets. The determination of the allowance considers historical credit loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance is calculated separately for commercial mortgage loans, agricultural mortgage loans, uncollateralized loans, other collateralized loans and residential property loans.

138

For commercial mortgage and agricultural mortgage loans, the allowance is calculated using an internally developed CECL model.

Key inputs to the CECL model include unpaid principal balances, internal credit ratings, annual expected loss factors, average lives of the loans adjusted for prepayment considerations, current and historical interest rate assumptions and other factors influencing the Company’s view of the current stage of the economic cycle and future economic conditions. Subjective considerations include a review of whether historical loss experience is representative of current market conditions and the Company’s view of the credit cycle. Model assumptions and factors are reviewed and updated as appropriate.

When individual loans no longer have the credit risk characteristics of the commercial or agricultural mortgage loan pools, they are removed from the pools and are evaluated individually for an allowance. The allowance is determined based on the outstanding loan balance less the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The CECL allowance for other collateralized and uncollateralized loans carried at amortized cost is determined based on probability of default and loss given default assumptions by sector, credit quality and average lives of the loans.

The following table sets forth the change in allowance for credit losses for our commercial mortgage and other loans portfolio, as of the dates indicated:


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

The allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2022 increased compared to December 31, 2021 primarily related to increases in loan-specific reserves as well as increases to reserves to reflect current market conditions.

Fixed Maturities, Trading

“Fixed maturities, trading, at fair value” are primarily related to assets associated with consolidated VIEs for which the Company is the investment manager. The assets of the consolidated VIEs are generally offset by liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected. For further information on these consolidated VIEs, see Note 4 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commercial Mortgage and Other Loans

Our investment management operations include our commercial mortgage operations, which provide mortgage origination, investment management and servicing for our general account, institutional clients, the Federal Housing Administration and government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The mortgage loans of our commercial mortgage operations are included in “Commercial mortgage and other loans.” Derivatives and other hedging instruments related to our commercial mortgage operations are primarily included in “Other invested assets.”

Other Invested Assets

“Other invested assets” primarily include assets of our derivative operations used to manage interest rate, foreign currency, credit, and equity exposures.

Furthermore, other invested assets include strategic investments made as part of our investment management operations. We make these strategic investments in real estate, as well as fixed income, public equity and real estate securities, including controlling interests. Certain of these investments are made primarily for purposes of co-investment in our managed funds and structured products. Other strategic investments are made with the intention to sell or syndicate to investors, including our general account, or for placement in funds and structured products that we offer and manage (seed investments). As part of our investment management operations, we also make loans to our managed funds that are secured by equity commitments from investors or assets of the funds. “Other invested assets” also include certain assets in consolidated investment funds where the Company is deemed to exercise control over the funds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Liquidity refers to the ability to generate sufficient cash resources to meet the payment obligations of the Company. Capital refers to the long-term financial resources available to support the operations of our businesses, fund business growth, and provide a cushion to withstand adverse circumstances. Our ability to generate and maintain sufficient liquidity and capital depends on the profitability of our businesses, general economic conditions and our access to the capital markets and the alternate sources of liquidity and capital described herein.

Effective and prudent liquidity and capital management is a priority across the organization. Management monitors the liquidity of Prudential Financial and its subsidiaries on a daily basis and projects borrowing and capital needs over a multi-year time horizon. We use a Risk Appetite Framework (“RAF”) to ensure that all risks taken across the Company align with our capacity and willingness to take those risks. The RAF provides a dynamic assessment of capital and liquidity stress impacts, including scenarios similar to, and more severe than, those occurring due to COVID-19, and is intended to ensure that sufficient resources are available to absorb those impacts. We believe that our capital and liquidity resources are sufficient to satisfy the capital and liquidity requirements of Prudential Financial and its subsidiaries.

Our businesses are subject to comprehensive regulation and supervision by domestic and international regulators. These regulations currently include requirements (many of which are the subject of ongoing rule-making) relating to capital and liquidity management. For information on these regulatory initiatives and their potential impact on us, see “Business—Regulation” and “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

From the beginning of 2022 through the date of this report, we took the following significant actions that have impacted, or are expected to impact, our liquidity and capital positions:

•In February, we issued $1.0 billion of junior subordinated notes. We intend to use these proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include the redemption or repurchase of our $1.0 billion of junior subordinated notes due in 2042.

141

Table of Contents

•In April, we completed the sale of our Full Service Retirement business. Also, in April, we completed the sale of a portion of our in-force traditional variable annuities block of business through the sale of all the equity interests in PALAC. See Note 1 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these transactions.

Capital

The primary components of the Company’s capitalization consist of equity and outstanding capital debt, including junior subordinated debt. As shown in the table below, as of June 30, 2022, the Company had $52.0 billion in capital, all of which was available to support the aggregate capital requirements of its businesses and its Corporate and Other operations. Based on our assessment of these businesses and operations, we believe this level of capital is consistent with our ratings targets.

(1)Amounts attributable to Prudential Financial, excluding AOCI.

We manage PICA, The Prudential Life Insurance Company, Ltd. (“Prudential of Japan”), Gibraltar Life, and other significant insurance subsidiaries to regulatory capital levels consistent with our “AA” ratings targets. We utilize the risk-based capital (“RBC”) ratio as a primary measure of the capital adequacy of our domestic insurance subsidiaries and the solvency margin ratio as a primary measure of the capital adequacy of our Japanese insurance subsidiaries.

RBC ratio calculations are intended to assist insurance regulators in measuring an insurer’s solvency and ability to pay future claims. The reporting of RBC measures is not intended for the purpose of ranking any insurance company or for use in connection with any marketing, advertising or promotional activities, but is available to the public.

PICA’s RBC ratio as of December 31, 2021, its most recent statutory fiscal year-end and RBC reporting date, was 456%. PICA’s RBC ratio is calculated on a consolidated basis and includes Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (“PRIAC”), Pruco Life Insurance Company (“Pruco Life”), Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (“PLNJ”), which is a subsidiary of Pruco Life, and Prudential Legacy Insurance Company of New Jersey (“PLIC”).

Similar to the RBC ratios that are employed by U.S. insurance regulators, regulatory authorities in the international jurisdictions in which we operate generally establish some form of minimum solvency margin requirements for insurance companies based on local statutory accounting practices. These solvency margins are a primary measure of the capital adequacy of our international insurance operations. Maintenance of our solvency margins at certain levels is also important to our competitive positioning, as in certain jurisdictions, such as Japan, these solvency margins are required to be disclosed to the public and therefore impact the public perception of an insurer’s financial strength.

The table below presents the solvency margin ratios of our most significant international insurance subsidiaries as of March 31, 2022, the most recent date for which this information is available.


	Ratio
Prudential of Japan consolidated(1)	806	%
Gibraltar Life consolidated(2)	911	%

__________

(1)Includes Prudential Trust Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Prudential of Japan.

(2)Includes Prudential Gibraltar Financial Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (“PGFL”), a subsidiary of Gibraltar Life.

All of our domestic and significant international insurance subsidiaries have capital levels that substantially exceed the minimum level required by applicable insurance regulations. The statutory capital of our insurance companies and our overall capital flexibility could be impacted by, among other things, market conditions and changes in insurance reserves, including those stemming from updates to our actuarial assumptions. Our regulatory capital levels also may be affected in the future by changes to the applicable regulations, proposals for which are currently under consideration by both domestic and international insurance regulators.

Shareholder Distributions

Share Repurchase Program and Shareholder Dividends

In November 2021, Prudential Financial’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase, at management’s discretion, up to $1.5 billion of its outstanding Common Stock during the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

In general, the timing and amount of share repurchases are determined by management based on market conditions and other considerations, including compliance with applicable laws and any increased capital needs of our businesses due to, among other things, credit migration and losses in our investment portfolio, changes in regulatory capital requirements and opportunities for growth and acquisitions. Repurchases may be executed in the open market, through derivative, accelerated repurchase and other negotiated transactions and through plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The following table sets forth information about declarations of Common Stock dividends, as well as repurchases of shares of Prudential Financial’s Common Stock, for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity

Liquidity management and stress testing are performed on a legal entity basis as the ability to transfer funds between subsidiaries is limited due in part to regulatory restrictions. Liquidity needs are determined through daily and quarterly cash flow forecasting at the holding company and within our operating subsidiaries. We seek to maintain a minimum balance of highly liquid assets to ensure that adequate liquidity is available at Prudential Financial to cover fixed expenses in the event that we experience reduced cash flows from our operating subsidiaries at a time when access to capital markets is also not available.

We seek to mitigate the risk of having limited or no access to financing due to stressed market conditions by generally pre-funding debt in advance of maturity. We mitigate the refinancing risk associated with our debt that is used to fund operating needs by matching the term of debt with the assets financed. To ensure adequate liquidity in stress scenarios, stress testing is performed for our major operating subsidiaries. We seek to further mitigate liquidity risk by maintaining our access to alternative sources of liquidity, as discussed below.

Liquidity of Prudential Financial

The principal sources of funds available to Prudential Financial, the parent holding company, are dividends, returns of capital and loans from subsidiaries, and proceeds from debt issuances and certain stock-based compensation activity. These sources of funds may be supplemented by Prudential Financial’s access to the capital markets as well as the “—Alternative Sources of Liquidity” described below.

The primary uses of funds at Prudential Financial include servicing debt, making capital contributions and loans to subsidiaries, making acquisitions, paying declared shareholder dividends and repurchasing outstanding shares of Common Stock executed under authority from the Board.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2022, Prudential Financial had highly liquid assets with a carrying value totaling $8,050 million, an increase of $3,824 million from December 31, 2021. Highly liquid assets predominantly include cash, short-term investments, U.S. Treasury securities, obligations of other U.S. government authorities and agencies, and/or foreign government bonds. We maintain an intercompany liquidity account that is designed to optimize the use of cash by facilitating the lending and borrowing of funds between Prudential Financial and its subsidiaries on a daily basis. Excluding the net borrowings from this intercompany liquidity account, Prudential Financial had highly liquid assets of $7,068 million as of June 30, 2022, an increase of $3,515 million from December 31, 2021.

Dividends and Returns of Capital from Subsidiaries

Domestic insurance subsidiaries. During the first six months of 2022, Prudential Financial received dividends of $32 million from Prudential Annuities Holding Company. In addition to paying Common Stock dividends, our domestic insurance operations may return capital to Prudential Financial by other means, such as affiliated lending, and reinsurance with Bermuda-based affiliates.

144

Table of Contents

International insurance subsidiaries. During the first six months of 2022, Prudential Financial did not receive dividends from its international insurance subsidiaries. In addition to paying Common Stock dividends, our international insurance operations may return capital to Prudential Financial by other means, such as the repayment of preferred stock obligations held by Prudential Financial or other affiliates, affiliated lending, affiliated derivatives and reinsurance with U.S.- and Bermuda-based affiliates.

Other subsidiaries. During the first six months of 2022, Prudential Financial received dividends and returns of capital of $107 million from PGIM subsidiaries and dividends of $5 million from other subsidiaries.

Restriction on dividends and returns of capital from subsidiaries. Our insurance companies are subject to limitations on the payment of dividends and other transfers of funds to Prudential Financial and other affiliates under applicable insurance law and regulation. Further, market conditions could negatively impact capital positions of our insurance companies, which could further restrict their ability to pay dividends. More generally, the payment of dividends by any of our subsidiaries is subject to declaration by their Board of Directors and can be affected by market conditions and other factors.

With respect to our domestic insurance subsidiaries, PICA is permitted to pay ordinary dividends based on calculations specified under New Jersey insurance law, subject to prior notification to the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (“NJDOBI”). Any distributions above this amount in any twelve-month period are considered to be “extraordinary” dividends, and the approval of the NJDOBI is required prior to payment. The laws regulating dividends of the states where our other domestic insurance companies are domiciled are similar, but not identical, to those of New Jersey.

Capital redeployment from our international insurance subsidiaries is subject to local regulatory requirements in the international jurisdictions in which they operate. Our most significant international insurance subsidiaries, Prudential of Japan and Gibraltar Life, are permitted to pay common stock dividends based on calculations specified by Japanese insurance law, subject to prior notification to the FSA. Dividends in excess of these amounts and other forms of capital distribution require the prior approval of the FSA. The regulatory fiscal year end for both Prudential of Japan and Gibraltar Life is March 31, after which time the common stock dividend amount permitted to be paid without prior approval from the FSA can be determined.

The ability of our PGIM subsidiaries and the majority of our other operating subsidiaries to pay dividends is largely unrestricted from a regulatory standpoint.

See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for information on specific dividend restrictions.

Liquidity of Insurance Subsidiaries

We manage the liquidity of our insurance operations to ensure stable, reliable and cost-effective sources of cash flows to meet all of our obligations. Liquidity within each of our insurance subsidiaries is provided by a variety of sources, including portfolios of liquid assets. The investment portfolios of our subsidiaries are integral to the overall liquidity of our insurance operations. We segment our investment portfolios and employ an asset/liability management approach specific to the requirements of each of our product lines. This enhances the discipline applied in managing the liquidity, as well as the interest rate and credit risk profiles, of each portfolio in a manner consistent with the unique characteristics of the product liabilities.

Liquidity is measured against internally-developed benchmarks that take into account the characteristics of both the asset portfolio and the liabilities that they support. We consider attributes of the various categories of liquid assets (for example, type of asset and credit quality) in calculating internal liquidity measures to evaluate our insurance operations’ liquidity under various stress scenarios, including company-specific and market-wide events. We continue to believe that cash generated by ongoing operations and the profile of our assets provide sufficient liquidity under reasonably foreseeable stress scenarios for each of our insurance subsidiaries.

The principal sources of liquidity for our insurance subsidiaries are premiums, investment and fee income, investment maturities, sales of investments, and sales associated with our insurance and annuity operations, as well as internal and external borrowings. The principal uses of liquidity include benefits, claims and dividends paid to policyholders, and payments to policyholders and contractholders in connection with surrenders, withdrawals and net policy loan activity. Other uses of liquidity may include commissions, general and administrative expenses, purchases of investments, the payment of dividends to the parent holding company, hedging and reinsurance activity and payments in connection with financing activities.

The following table sets forth the fair value of certain of our domestic insurance operations’ portfolio of liquid assets, as of the dates indicated.

Liquidity associated with other activities

Hedging activities associated with Individual Retirement Strategies

For the portion of our Individual Retirement Strategies’ ALM strategy executed through hedging, as well as the capital hedge program, we enter into a range of exchange-traded, cleared and other OTC equity and interest rate derivatives in order to hedge certain capital market risks related to more severe market conditions. For a full discussion of our Individual Retirement Strategies’ risk management strategy, see “—Results of Operations by Segment—U.S. Businesses—Retirement Strategies.” This portion of our Individual Retirement Strategies’ ALM strategy and capital hedge program requires access to liquidity to meet payment obligations relating to these derivatives, such as payments for periodic settlements, purchases, maturities and terminations. These liquidity needs can vary materially due to, among other items, changes in interest rates, equity markets, mortality and policyholder behavior.

The hedging portion of our Individual Retirement Strategies’ ALM strategy and capital hedge program may also result in derivative related collateral postings to (when we are in a net post position) or from (when we are in a net receive position) counterparties. The net collateral position depends on changes in interest rates and equity markets related to the amount of the exposures hedged. Depending on market conditions, the collateral posting requirements can result in material liquidity needs when we are in a net post position. As of June 30, 2022, the derivatives comprising the hedging portion of our Individual Retirement Strategies’ ALM strategy and capital hedge program were in a net post position of $7.1 billion compared to a net post position of $5.5 billion as of December 31, 2021. The change in collateral position was primarily driven by the impact of increasing interest rates partially offset by equity market depreciation.

Foreign exchange hedging activities

We employ various hedging strategies to manage potential exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements, particularly those associated with the yen. Our overall yen hedging strategy calibrates the hedge level to preserve the relative contribution of our yen-based business to the Company’s overall return on equity on a leverage neutral basis. The hedging strategy includes two primary components:

Income Hedges—We hedge a portion of our prospective yen-based earnings streams by entering into external forward currency derivative contracts that effectively fix the currency exchange rates for that portion of earnings, thereby reducing volatility from foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Equity Hedges—We hold both internal and external hedges primarily to hedge our USD-equivalent equity. These hedges also mitigate volatility in the solvency margins of yen-based subsidiaries resulting from changes in the market value of their USD-denominated investments hedging our USD-equivalent equity attributable to changes in the yen-USD exchange rate.

For additional information on our hedging strategy, see “—Results of Operations—Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates.”

Cash settlements from these hedging activities result in cash flows between subsidiaries of Prudential Financial and either international-based subsidiaries or external parties. The cash flows are dependent on changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the notional amount of the exposures hedged. For example, a significant yen depreciation over an extended period of time could result in net cash inflows, while a significant yen appreciation could result in net cash outflows. The following tables set forth information about net cash settlements and the net asset or liability resulting from these hedging activities related to the yen and other currencies for the periods indicated.

PGIM operations

The principal sources of liquidity for our fee-based PGIM businesses include asset management fees, commercial mortgage origination and servicing fees, and internal and external funding facilities. The principal uses of liquidity include general and administrative expenses, facilitating our commercial mortgage loan business, and distributions of dividends and

147

Table of Contents

returns of capital to Prudential Financial. The primary liquidity risks for our fee-based PGIM businesses relate to their profitability, which is impacted by market conditions, our investment management performance and client redemptions. We believe the cash flows from our fee-based PGIM businesses are adequate to satisfy the current liquidity requirements of these operations, as well as requirements that could arise under reasonably foreseeable stress scenarios, which are monitored through the use of internal measures.

The principal sources of liquidity for our seed and co-investments held in our PGIM businesses are cash flows from investments, borrowing lines from internal sources, including Prudential Financial and Prudential Funding, LLC (“Prudential Funding”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PICA, and external sources, including PGIM’s limited-recourse credit facility. The principal uses of liquidity for our seed and co-investments include making investments to support business growth and paying interest expense from the internal and external borrowings used to fund those investments. The primary liquidity risks include the inability to sell assets in a timely manner, declines in the value of assets and credit defaults. There have been no material changes to the liquidity position of our PGIM operations since December 31, 2021.

Alternative Sources of Liquidity

In addition to asset-based financing as discussed below, Prudential Financial and certain subsidiaries have access to other sources of liquidity, including syndicated, unsecured committed credit facilities, membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, commercial paper programs, and contingent financing facilities in the form of a put option agreement and facility agreement. For more information on these sources of liquidity, see Note 9 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein and Note 17 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Asset-based Financing

We conduct asset-based or secured financing within our insurance and other subsidiaries, including transactions such as securities lending, repurchase agreements and mortgage dollar rolls, to earn spread income, to borrow funds, or to facilitate trading activity. These programs are primarily driven by portfolio holdings of securities that are lendable based on counterparty demand for these securities in the marketplace. The collateral received in connection with these programs is primarily used to purchase securities in the short-term spread portfolios of our insurance entities. Investments held in the short-term spread portfolios include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments (primarily corporate bonds), mortgage loans and fixed maturities (primarily collateralized loan obligations and other structured securities), with a weighted average life at time of purchase by the short-term portfolios of four years or less. Floating rate assets comprise the majority of our short-term spread portfolio. These short-term portfolios are subject to specific investment policy statements, which among other things, do not allow for significant asset/liability interest rate duration mismatch.

The following table sets forth our liabilities under asset-based or secured financing programs as of the dates indicated.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2022, our domestic insurance entities had assets eligible for the asset-based or secured financing programs of $88.2 billion, of which $13.4 billion were on loan. Taking into account market conditions and outstanding loan balances as of June 30, 2022, we believe approximately $9.4 billion of the remaining eligible assets are readily lendable, including approximately $6.1 billion relating to PFI excluding the Closed Block division, of which $2.1 billion relates to certain separate accounts and may only be used for financing activities related to those accounts, and the remaining $3.3 billion relating to the Closed Block division.

Financing Activities

As of June 30, 2022, total short-term and long-term debt of the Company on a consolidated basis was $20.2 billion, an increase of $0.9 billion from December 31, 2021. The following table sets forth total consolidated borrowings of the Company as of the dates indicated. We may, from time to time, seek to redeem or repurchase our outstanding debt securities through open market purchases, individually negotiated transactions or otherwise. Any such actions will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity position, and other factors.

(1)Amounts are net of assets under set-off arrangements of $10,791 million and $10,691 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(2)Limited and non-recourse borrowing primarily represents mortgage debt of our subsidiaries that has recourse only to real estate investment property of $234 million and $274 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and a $300 million draw on a credit facility that has recourse only to collateral pledged by the Company as of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants related to the borrowings in the table above. For additional information on the Company’s short- and long-term debt obligations, see Note 9 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein and Note 17 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Prudential Financial’s consolidated borrowings increased $826 million from December 31, 2021, primarily driven by a $999 million increase in Prudential Financial borrowings and a $173 million decrease in subsidiary borrowings. On February 28, 2022, the Company issued $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.125% junior subordinated notes due in March 2052.

Term and Universal Life Reserve Financing

We use captive reinsurance subsidiaries to finance the portion of the statutory reserves required to be held by our domestic life insurance companies under Regulation XXX and Guideline AXXX that we consider to be non-economic. The financing arrangements involve the reinsurance of term and universal life business to our captive reinsurers and the issuance of surplus

149

Table of Contents

notes by those captives that are treated as capital for statutory purposes. These surplus notes are subordinated to policyholder obligations, and the payment of principal and interest on the surplus notes can only be made with prior insurance regulatory approval.

We have entered into agreements with external counterparties providing for the issuance of surplus notes by our captive reinsurers in return for the receipt of credit-linked notes (“Credit-Linked Note Structures”). As of June 30, 2022, we had Credit-Linked Note Structures with an aggregate issuance capacity of $14,600 million, of which $12,821 million was outstanding, as compared to an aggregate issuance capacity of $14,600 million, of which $12,721 million was outstanding, as of December 31, 2021. Under the agreements, the captive receives in exchange for the surplus notes one or more credit-linked notes issued by a special-purpose affiliate of the Company with an aggregate principal amount equal to the surplus notes outstanding. The captive holds the credit-linked notes as assets supporting Regulation XXX or Guideline AXXX non-economic reserves, as applicable. For more information on our Credit-Linked Note Structures, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Activities” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The following table summarizes our Credit-Linked Note Structures, which are reported on a net basis, as of June 30, 2022.

__________

(1)Prudential Financial has agreed to reimburse amounts paid under the credit-linked notes issued in this structure up to $250 million.

(2)The $2,130 million of surplus notes represents an intercompany transaction that eliminates upon consolidation. Prudential Financial has agreed to reimburse amounts paid under credit-linked notes issued in this structure up to $1,000 million.

As of June 30, 2022, we also had outstanding an aggregate of $3,025 million of debt issued for the purpose of financing Regulation XXX and Guideline AXXX non-economic reserves, of which $1,125 million relates to Regulation XXX reserves and $1,900 million relates to Guideline AXXX reserves. In addition, as of June 30, 2022, for purposes of financing Guideline AXXX reserves, one of our captives had $3,982 million of surplus notes outstanding that were issued to affiliates.

The Company introduced updated versions of its individual life products in conjunction with the requirement to adopt principle-based reserving by January 1, 2020. These updated products are currently priced to support the principle-based statutory reserve level without the need for reserve financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

See additional information on off-balance sheet arrangements in Note 9 and other commitments in Note 14 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2014, Prudential Financial entered into financing transactions, pursuant to which it issued $500 million of limited-recourse notes and, in return, obtained $500 million of asset-backed notes from a Delaware master trust and ultimately contributed the asset-backed notes to its subsidiary, PRIAC. As a result of the Company’s sale of its Full Service Retirement business to Great-West, which included the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of PRIAC, the $500 million of limited-recourse notes were canceled as of April 1, 2022.

We do not have retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to unconsolidated entities, or variable interests in unconsolidated entities or other similar transactions, arrangements or relationships that serve as credit, liquidity or market risk support, that we believe are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or our access to or requirements for capital resources. In addition, we do not have relationships with any unconsolidated entities that are contractually limited to narrow activities that facilitate our transfer of or access to associated assets.

Ratings

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Ratings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for a discussion of our financial strength and credit ratings and their impact on our business.

There have been no significant changes or actions in ratings or ratings outlooks for the Company that have occurred since the filing of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. On April 1, 2022 Prudential completed the sales of PALAC to Fortitude Group Holdings, LLC and PRIAC to Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company. As a result, PALAC and PRIAC no longer fall under Prudential Financial’s group ratings.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of absolute or relative changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices or commodity prices. To varying degrees, our products and services, and the investment activities supporting them, generate exposure to market risk. The market risk incurred, and our strategies for managing this risk, vary by product. As of June 30, 2022, there have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk from December 31, 2021, a description of which may be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2021, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors” included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for a discussion of how difficult conditions in the financial markets and the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of our operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

In order to ensure that the information we must disclose in our filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis, the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of June 30, 2022. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. No change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
