01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed May 1, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Prudential Financial, Inc. filed this Form 8-K on May 1, 2025 under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure).
The filing reports that the Company hosted a conference call that day to discuss its results for the first quarter of 2025. The filing's principal content is a correction: during the question-and-answer portion of the call, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Yanela Frias misspoke when describing the Company's sensitivity to interest rates. She stated that, assuming a 50 basis point one-time interest rate decline, the AOI impact would be about a 20%a decline in EPS on an annual basis.
The filing states she intended to say 20 cents, not 20%b. The filing states that the full conference call transcript, including this correction, will be posted on the Company's Investor Relations website. The 8-K itself does not contain the first-quarter 2025 financial results, which the filing describes only as the subject of the call.
Investors seeking the quarterly figures would need to refer to the related earnings materials and the transcript referenced in the filing. The filing also includes standard forward-looking statement language, noting that actual results may differ materially from expectations and directing readers to the Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Statements sections of the Company's Form 10-K and Form 10-Q reports. The registrant's securities listed under Section 12(b) include common stock (PRU) and several junior subordinated notes (PRH, PRS, PFH) on the New York Stock Exchange.
