Segment Information |
SEGMENT INFORMATION Segments 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 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.
As discussed in Note 1, effective January 1, 2023, AIQ is now included within Corporate and Other operations. Also effective January 1, 2023, Prudential Advisors, which was previously part of the Individual Life segment, is now included within Corporate and Other operations. There are no impacts to the Company's consolidated financial statements from these reporting changes and historical segment results have been updated to conform to the current period presentation.
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 operating joint ventures” or “Net income (loss)” as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP but is the measure of segment profit or loss used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources, and consistent with authoritative guidance, is the measure of segment performance presented below. Adjusted operating income is calculated by adjusting each segment’s “Income (loss) before income taxes and equity in earnings of operating joint ventures” for the following items:
•Realized investment gains (losses), net, and related adjustments; •Charges related to realized investment gains (losses), net; •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 operating joint ventures and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests; and •Other adjustments. These items are important to an understanding of overall results of operations. 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. For additional information regarding these reconciling items, see Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
As a result of the adoption of ASU 2018-12 in the first quarter of 2023, the Company is required to measure all market risk benefits (e.g., living benefit and death benefit guarantees associated with variable annuities) at fair value. In order to enhance the understanding of our underlying performance trends, the Company excludes from adjusted operating income “Change in value of market risk benefits, net of related hedging gains (losses)”, which reflects the impact from changes in current market conditions. In addition, “Charges related to realized investment gains (losses)”, no longer includes the current period impact of net realized investment gains (losses) on the amortization of DAC and related balances, and “Market experience updates” no longer includes the immediate impact on DAC and related balances from changes in current market conditions on estimates of profitability. In both cases, the amortization of DAC and related balances is independent of these factors under ASU 2018-12. See Note 2 regarding additional information about the adoption of ASU 2018-12, including market risk benefits and the amortization of DAC and other balances.
