2.We note your disclosure that adjusted operating income excludes the change in the
fair value of the embedded derivative associated with future projected renewals and
only includes the change associated with the current term elected by the policyholder.
Please confirm that this adjustment is quantified in the “Change in the value of the
non-MRB liabilities, excluding changes in the NPR adjustment” line-item in the table
on page 80. If not, please tell us the impact on adjusted operating income in 2024,
2023, and 2022 from this adjustment. Please tell us and if material, revise future
filings to explain why you back this impact out and why the resulting measure is
useful for management and investors.
General
3.We note your reconciliation between core adjusted operating income and the
comparable GAAP measure on slides 22 and 23 in the 1Q25 Prudential Financial, Inc.
Earnings Conference Call Presentation included in the Investor Relations section of
your web-site.
•Please provide us a description of each adjustment after adjusted operating
income before income taxes to get to core adjusted operating income before taxes
clearly describing the nature of and reasons for the components being backed out
and / or added in to allow us to fully understand why the resulting measure is
useful for management and investors. Specifically quantify the amounts
included/excluded to get to average expectations of alternative investment
income, underwriting income and expected expenses and other items.
•Please tell us how you considered whether core adjusted operating income and
related measures substitute individually tailored recognition and measurement
methods for those of US GAAP and whether the resulting measure is misleading
and violates Rule 100(b) of Regulation G. Please refer to Question 100.04 of the
Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial Measures for
additional information.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments,
action or absence of action by the staff.
