Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed October 15, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Prudential Financial, Inc. (PRU) filed this Form 8-K on October 15, 2026 to furnish preliminary, unaudited financial information for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, ahead of its quarterly earnings release scheduled for November 3, 2026, and to disclose segment reporting changes tied to its International Businesses segment.
The company reported PGIM assets under management of $1.47 trilliona at September 30, 2026, and PGIM other related revenues, net of related expenses, of approximately $20 million on an adjusted operating income basis. It estimated General Account alternative investment income to be approximately $15 to $35 million above its near-term expectations, and estimated that the Prudential of Japan sales suspension reduced Japan Businesses pre-tax adjusted operating income by approximately $140 million, including one-time costs tied to Life Planner compensation, lost sales and surrenders. The company stresses that these figures are estimates, have not completed financial closing procedures, and could differ materially from final results.
Effective in the third quarter of 2026, Prudential announced in August 2026 its intent to exit certain emerging markets businesses. As a result, the operations of certain businesses, including Brazil and Mexico, moved into Divested and Run-off Businesses within Corporate and Other, and the former International Businesses segment was renamed Japan Businesses. The company's indirect 40%b interest in Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones Habitat S.A. moved into the Retirement segment.
These changes are applied retrospectively and do not affect previously issued consolidated financial statements. Exhibit 99.1 furnishes a revised second quarter 2026 Quarterly Financial Supplement showing the restated historical results, with updates highlighted in yellow.
The filing is furnished under Regulation FD, is not deemed filed under Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and is accompanied by forward-looking statement cautions. For investors, the most material items are the Japan sales suspension impact of approximately $140 millionc and the revised segment structure, which changes how the Japan, Retirement and corporate results should be compared with prior periods.
