Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business and Basis of Presentation	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. The Company’s principal operations consist of PGIM (the Company’s global investment management business), the U.S. Businesses (consisting of the Retirement Strategies, Group Insurance and Individual Life 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 within 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. Effective in the first quarter of 2025, consistent with changes to the Company’s internal management structure, the Company’s International Businesses are reflected as a single operating and reportable segment, which is how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) now assesses its performance and allocates resources. Prior to the first quarter of 2025, International Businesses consisted of the Life Planner and Gibraltar Life and Other operating segments, each of which was a reportable segment under U.S. GAAP. The change has been applied retrospectively and did not have any impact on the Company’s Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein or to any previously issued financial statements. See Note 19 for additional information regarding the Company’s segments. 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 regarding 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, 2024. 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 future policy benefits; 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; market risk benefits (“MRBs”); the measurement of goodwill and any related impairment; the valuation of investments including derivatives, the measurement of allowance for credit losses, and the recognition of other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”); pension and other postretirement benefits; any provision for 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 first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded out of period adjustments resulting in a net charge of $150 million to “Income (loss) from operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of joint ventures and other operating entities” for the first quarter of 2025. The adjustments included an overstatement of “Reinsurance recoverables and deposit receivables” and an understatement of “Deferred policy acquisition costs.” The impact of these 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 2025 annual financial statements. Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements The Company reclassified certain amounts in prior periods to conform to the current period presentation and recorded other adjustments, including the following: As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, during the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company identified an immaterial error in the application of adjusted operating income, which resulted in an overstatement thereof for indexed variable and fixed annuity products within the Retirement Strategies segment in the first three quarters of 2024. As a result, the Company voluntarily revised its historical adjusted operating income for the relevant periods, resulting in a decrease in pre-tax adjusted operating income of $47 million and $81 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. See Note 19 for additional information regarding adjusted operating income. As also previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company corrected the prior period presentation for certain noncontrolling interests, primarily related to consolidated PGIM-managed funds, that contain redemption features that are at the option of the holder and outside of the Company’s control. These noncontrolling interests were previously reported within “Noncontrolling interests” and are now correctly presented as “Mezzanine equity” and totaled $1,372 million as of March 31, 2024 and $1,267 million as of June 30, 2024 within the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statement of Equity.
