Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
Segments
 
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company made the following segment reporting changes to isolate the impacts of certain discontinued products that were previously commingled with the results of actively sold products that more closely reflect the Company’s strategic focus. These changes are consistent with the Company’s recent organizational changes and strategy and reflect how the CODM assesses performance and allocates resources:
U.S. Legacy Products” segment: (i) traditional variable annuities with guaranteed living benefit riders and certain other annuity products, previously included in the former Individual Retirement Strategies segment, and (ii) guaranteed universal life policies, previously included in the Individual Life segment, have been combined into a new reportable segment named “U.S. Legacy Products.” This segment represents run-off blocks of business consisting of products that are no longer being sold in U.S. markets and will be managed with a focus on reducing risk and optimizing value.

Retirement” segment: The blocks of business in the former Individual Retirement Strategies segment that were not moved into the U.S. Legacy Products segment, discussed above, consisting primarily of registered index-linked annuity and fixed annuity products, and the products previously included in the former Institutional Retirement Strategies segment have been combined into a new reportable segment named “Retirement.” This combined segment better represents the Company’s strategic management, growth trajectory, and resource allocation policies.

Individual Life” segment: There were no other impacts to this segment other than the transfer of the guaranteed universal life policies, discussed above. The remaining blocks of business contained within this segment primarily consist of term, indexed universal life, and variable universal life products.

These segment reporting changes are being applied retrospectively and do not have an impact on any of the Company’s previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s principal operations now consist of PGIM (the Company’s global investment management business), the U.S. Businesses (consisting of Retirement, Group Insurance, Individual Life and U.S. Legacy Products), 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. For additional information regarding these segments, see Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Segment Accounting Policies. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those 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, 2025. Results for each segment include earnings on attributed equity established at a level which management considers necessary to support each segment’s risks. Operating expenses specifically identifiable to a particular segment are allocated to that segment as incurred. Operating expenses not identifiable to a specific segment that are incurred in connection with the generation of segment revenues are generally allocated using a proportional allocation measure such as headcount, segment-level support or other financial measures.

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 joint ventures and other operating entities” or “Net income (loss)” as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP but is the measure of segment profit or loss used by the chief executive officer, who is the Company’s CODM, and is the measure of segment performance presented below. The CODM uses adjusted operating income to (1) evaluate segment performance; (2) allocate resources and capital, predominantly during the annual budgeting and planning processes; and (3) consider variances to pre-established targets during the compensation process. 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.
Adjusted operating income is calculated by adjusting each segment’s “Income (loss) before income taxes and equity in earnings of joint ventures and other operating entities” for the following items, which are important to an understanding of overall results of operations:
 
Realized investment gains (losses), net, and related charges and adjustments;
Change in value of market risk benefits, net of related hedging gains (losses);
Market experience updates;
Divested and Run-off Businesses;
Equity in earnings of joint ventures and other operating entities and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests; and
Other adjustments.

In addition, under U.S. GAAP, policyholder liabilities associated with fixed and variable indexed annuity products included in the Company’s Retirement segment are recorded in “Policyholders’ account balances,” and include both the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder and the fair value of embedded derivative instruments associated with the index-linked features for these products. The change in the liability for these products is measured utilizing a valuation methodology required under U.S GAAP and includes the fair value of all index credits for the current term and future projected renewals of the policy. For the purpose of measuring segment performance, however, adjusted operating income reflects only the change in the liability associated with the current term elected by the policyholder, which is the component of the liability the Company hedges based on current contractual index-crediting terms, and which is offset by the change in the value of the corresponding hedge assets. Adjusted operating income excludes the change in the liability associated with all future projected renewals the Company does not hedge, consistent with the Company and policyholder optionality that exists at renewal. This adjustment is included in “Realized investment gains (losses), net, and related charges and adjustments,” as listed above.

For additional information regarding these reconciling items, see Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Intersegment revenues

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