Long-Duration Targeted Improvements and Resegmentation Impact Summary
Non-GAAP Measures
This presentation includes references to and/or projections of adjusted book value, adjusted operating income, and underlying earnings power. Adjusted book value,
adjusted operating income, and underlying earnings power are not calculated based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for book value or net income determined in accordance with GAAP, and the adjustments made to derive
these measures are important to an understanding of our overall results of operations and financial position. We believe that our use of these non-GAAP measures
helps investors understand and evaluate the Company's projected performance and financial position.

Adjusted book value is calculated as total equity attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc. (GAAP book value) excluding accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) and the cumulative effect of foreign currency exchange rate remeasurements. Adjusted book value augments the understanding of our financial position by
providing a measure of net worth that is primarily attributable to our business operations, separate from the portion that is affected by capital and currency market
conditions, including the removal of the associated accounting impacts of the remeasurement of certain insurance liabilities and investments that are marked to
market through accumulated other comprehensive income under GAAP.
Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure used by the Company to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources. Adjusted operating income
excludes "Realized investment gains (losses), net," as adjusted, and related charges and adjustments. A significant element of realized investment gains and losses
are impairments and credit-related and interest rate-related gains and losses. Impairments and losses from sales of credit-impaired securities, the timing of which
depends largely on market credit cycles, can vary considerably across periods. The timing of other sales that would result in gains or losses, such as interest rate-
related gains or losses, is largely subject to our discretion and influenced by market opportunities as well as our tax and capital profile.
Realized investment gains (losses) within certain businesses for which such gains (losses) are a principal source of earnings, and those associated with terminating
hedges of foreign currency earnings and current period yield adjustments, are included in adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income generally excludes
realized investment gains and losses from products that contain embedded derivatives, and from associated derivative portfolios that are part of an asset-liability
management program related to the risk of those products. Adjusted operating income also excludes gains and losses from changes in value of certain assets and
liabilities relating to foreign currency exchange movements that have been economically hedged or considered part of our capital funding strategies for our
international subsidiaries, as well as gains and losses on certain investments that are designated as trading. Adjusted operating income also excludes investment
gains and losses on assets supporting experience-rated contractholder liabilities and changes in experience-rated contractholder liabilities due to asset value
changes, because these recorded changes in asset and liability values are expected to ultimately accrue to contractholders. Additionally, adjusted operating income
excludes the changes in fair value of equity securities that are recorded in net income.
