01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed April 14, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Prudential Financial, Inc. (PRU) furnished this Current Report under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) to provide preliminary, unaudited financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, ahead of its quarterly earnings release and financial supplement scheduled for April 30, 2025.
The company reported PGIM assets under management of $1.39 trilliona as of March 31, 2025, and PGIM other related revenues, net of related expenses, of approximately $20 million on an adjusted operating income basis for the quarter. It also estimated that alternative investment income of its General Account (excluding the Closed Block Division and Funds Withheld portfolios) for the quarter will be approximately $85 to $105 million below its near-term expectations. The company cautioned that financial closing procedures were not complete and actual results could differ materially.
The filing also discloses two structural changes. Effective in the first quarter of 2025, the International Businesses division will be reported as a single operating and reportable segment, replacing the prior Life Planner and Gibraltar Life and Other segments; the change is applied retrospectively and does not affect previously issued results. Separately, following an annual review of internal expense allocations effective January 1, 2025, the company expects the following impacts to 2025 segment adjusted operating income: Institutional Retirement Strategies $(50) million, Individual Life $(20) million, International Businesses $(20) million, and Corporate & Other $90 millionb.
The update has no effect on consolidated results, but the full-year 2025 loss for Corporate & Other is now expected to be approximately $1.7 billionc. For investors, the key points are the preliminary alternative investment income shortfall in the General Account for the first quarter, the modest PGIM other related revenues, and the reallocation of expenses across segments, which shifts segment profitability without changing consolidated results.
