Information regarding adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP measure, including an amendment to the definition of adjusted operating income, is provided below.

For the first nine months of 2010, net income for the Financial Services Businesses attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc. amounted to $2.501 billion ($5.31 per Common share) compared to $1.623 billion ($3.72 per Common share) for the first nine months of 2009.

With our acquisition of AIG Star Life and AIG Edison Life expected to close in the first quarter of 2011, we look forward to augmenting our footprint as a leading foreign life insurer in Japan serving protection and retirement needs and building on our success in the Japanese insurance market,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Strangfeld.

Adjusted operating income is not calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Information regarding adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP measure, is discussed later in this press release under “Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Measures,” and a reconciliation of adjusted operating income to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables that accompany this release.

Financial Services Businesses

Prudential Financial’s Common Stock (NYSE:PRU) reflects the performance of its Financial Services Businesses, which consist of its U.S. Retirement Solutions and Investment Management, U.S. Individual Life and Group Insurance, and International Insurance and Investments divisions and its Corporate and Other operations.

Effective for third quarter 2010 reporting, the company has amended its definition of adjusted operating income as it relates to living benefit guarantees accounted for as embedded derivatives, and related hedging activities, associated primarily with variable annuity products. Prior to this amendment, adjusted operating income included the mark-to-market adjustments on the embedded derivatives, including a market-related measure of the company’s non-performance risk, and from associated derivative portfolios that are part of a hedging program related to the risks of those products, and the related amortization of deferred policy acquisition and other costs, as well as mark-to-market of derivatives under a capital hedge program intended to protect the company’s statutory capital under stress scenarios involving severe equity market declines. Under the amended definition, adjusted operating income excludes the mark-to-market adjustments on the embedded derivatives inclusive of the market-related measure of the company’s non-performance risk, related hedging activities, and the mark-to-market of derivatives under the capital hedge program. The items excluded from adjusted operating income amounted to an aggregate pre-tax gain of $89 million for the third quarter of 2010. The company views adjusted operating income under the amended definition as a more meaningful presentation of its results for purposes of analyzing the operating performance of its business segments, as the amended definition presents

results on a basis more consistent with the economics of the businesses. Accounting for these products and hedging activities under GAAP has not changed. Adjusted operating income results for earlier periods have been revised to conform to the amended definition.

In the following business-level discussion, adjusted operating income refers to pre-tax results.

The U.S. Retirement Solutions and Investment Management division reported adjusted operating income of $855 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to $461 million in the year-ago quarter.

The Individual Annuities segment reported adjusted operating income of $588 million in the current quarter, compared to $315 million in the year-ago quarter. Current quarter results benefited $245 million from a net reduction in amortization of deferred policy acquisition and other costs, and $167 million from net reductions in reserves for guaranteed minimum death and income benefits, reflecting an updated estimate of profitability for this business including updates of actuarial assumptions based on an annual review. Results for the year-ago quarter included a net benefit of $211 million from adjustment of these items to reflect an update of estimated profitability including changes in actuarial assumptions based on an annual review. The benefits to current quarter results were largely driven by increases in market value of customer accounts during the quarter and changes in persistency estimates based on recent experience. Excluding the effect of the foregoing items, adjusted operating income for the Individual Annuities segment increased $72 million from the year-ago quarter, primarily reflecting higher asset-based fees due to growth in variable annuity account values.

The Retirement segment reported adjusted operating income of $119 million for the current quarter, compared to $117 million in the year-ago quarter. Current quarter results include a $15 million charge from a net increase in amortization of deferred policy acquisition and other costs based on an annual review of actuarial assumptions, while results for the year-ago quarter included an $8 million charge based on a similar annual review. Excluding these items, adjusted operating income of the Retirement segment increased $9 million from the year-ago quarter, primarily from higher fees associated with growth in full service retirement account values.

The Asset Management segment reported adjusted operating income of $148 million for the current quarter, compared to $29 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase primarily reflected more favorable results from commercial mortgage and proprietary investing activities as well as higher asset management fees. Results for the segment’s commercial mortgage activities in the year-ago quarter include net credit and valuation charges of approximately $40 million, while these items had no net impact on current quarter results. Investment results associated with proprietary investing activities contributed income of approximately $10 million in the current quarter compared to losses of approximately $20 million in the year-ago quarter. The remainder of the improvement in results came primarily from increased asset management fees reflecting growth in assets under management, and from higher performance-based fees primarily related to institutional real estate funds.

The U.S. Individual Life and Group Insurance division reported adjusted operating income of $251 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to $307 million in the year-ago quarter.

The Individual Life segment reported adjusted operating income of $190 million for the current quarter, compared to $243 million in the year-ago quarter. Current quarter results benefited from a $52 million net reduction in amortization of deferred policy acquisition and other costs reflecting updates of actuarial assumptions based on an annual review, while results for the year-ago quarter included a net benefit from similar items totaling $55 million as well as $30 million of income from compensation received based on multi-year profitability of third party products we distribute. Excluding these items, adjusted operating income decreased $20 million from a year ago, reflecting less favorable current quarter mortality experience.

The Group Insurance segment reported adjusted operating income of $61 million in the current quarter, compared to $64 million in the year-ago quarter. Current quarter results benefited $28 million from refinements of group life and disability reserves, primarily reflecting updates of actuarial assumptions based on an annual review. Excluding this item, adjusted operating income decreased $31 million from a year ago, primarily due to less favorable group life underwriting results reflecting claims experience as well as the lapse of certain business that had favorable claims experience in the year-ago quarter.

The International Insurance and Investments division reported adjusted operating income of $531 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to $507 million in the year-ago quarter.

The International Insurance segment reported adjusted operating income of $530 million for the current quarter, compared to $500 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted operating income of the segment’s Life Planner insurance operations was $323 million for the current quarter, compared to $310 million in the year-ago quarter. The $13 million increase in adjusted operating income reflected continued business growth, which was partially offset by a less favorable level of policy benefits and expenses in the current quarter. The segment’s Gibraltar Life operations reported adjusted operating income of $207 million for the current quarter, compared to $190 million in the year-ago quarter. Gibraltar Life’s results for the year-ago quarter included a benefit of approximately $15 million largely related to initial surrenders of policies following the restructuring of the former Yamato Life business acquired on May 1, 2009. Excluding this item, adjusted operating income from Gibraltar Life increased $32 million. This increase came primarily from a greater contribution from investment results reflecting growth in fixed annuity balances and more favorable returns from several general account asset classes. Results also benefited from more favorable foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange rates, including the impact of the Company’s currency hedging programs, had a favorable impact of $11 million on results for the segment’s international insurance businesses in comparison to the year-ago quarter, including $8 million within Gibraltar Life.

The International Investments segment reported adjusted operating income of $1 million for the current quarter, compared to $7 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting less favorable results from the segment’s global commodities operations.

Corporate and Other operations resulted in a loss, on an adjusted operating income basis, of $260 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to a loss of $203 million in the year-ago quarter. The current quarter loss was primarily driven by interest expense, net of investment income. Net interest costs increased in comparison to the year-ago quarter, primarily reflecting a greater level of capital debt. Corporate and Other results also reflected higher expenses in the current quarter than the year ago quarter. The Company’s real estate and relocation business

reported improved results, with pre-tax income of $19 million in the current quarter compared to $6 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting an increased contribution from relocation services activities.

Assets under management amounted to $750 billion at September 30, 2010, compared to $641 billion a year earlier and $667 billion at December 31, 2009.

Net income of the Financial Services Businesses attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc. amounted to $1.167 billion for the third quarter of 2010, compared to $1.090 billion in the year-ago quarter.

Current quarter net income includes $278 million of pre-tax net realized investment gains and related charges and adjustments. The foregoing net realized investment gains in the current quarter include $89 million from products that contain embedded derivatives and associated derivative portfolios that are part of a hedging program related to the risks of these products, as well as mark-to-market of derivatives under a capital hedge program, consistent with the amended definition of adjusted operating income adopted for third quarter 2010 reporting as discussed above. The foregoing net gain from embedded derivatives and hedging activities, and net realized investment gains from general portfolio activities and foreign currency exchange rates, were partially offset by $91 million of losses from impairments and sales of credit-impaired investments.

At September 30, 2010, gross unrealized losses on general account fixed maturity investments of the Financial Services Businesses amounted to $3.181 billion, including $2.209 billion on high and highest quality securities based on NAIC or equivalent ratings. Gross unrealized losses include $1.113 billion related to asset-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages. Gross unrealized losses on general account fixed maturity investments of the Financial Services Businesses at September 30, 2010 include $1.835 billion of declines in value of 20% or more of amortized cost. Gross unrealized losses on general account fixed maturity investments of the Financial Services Businesses amounted to $4.389 billion at December 31, 2009. Net unrealized gains on general account fixed maturity investments of the Financial Services Businesses amounted to $9.615 billion at September 30, 2010, compared to $998 million at December 31, 2009.

Net income for the current quarter also reflects pre-tax increases of $388 million in recorded asset values and $367 million in recorded liabilities representing changes in value which are

expected to ultimately accrue to contractholders. These changes primarily represent interest rate related mark-to-market adjustments. Net income for the current quarter also includes $32 million of pre-tax losses from divested businesses.

Net income of the Financial Services Businesses for the year-ago quarter included $377 million of pre-tax net realized investment losses and related charges and adjustments, increases of $694 million in recorded assets and $458 million in recorded liabilities for which changes in value are expected to ultimately accrue to contractholders, and income of $25 million from divested businesses, in each case before income taxes.

Closed Block Business

Prudential’s Class B Stock, which is not traded on any exchange, reflects the performance of its Closed Block Business.

The Closed Block Business includes our in-force participating life insurance and annuity policies, and assets that are being used for the payment of benefits and policyholder dividends on these policies, as well as other assets and equity that support these policies. We have ceased offering these participating policies.

The Closed Block Business reported income from continuing operations before income taxes of $114 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $16 million for the year-ago quarter. Current quarter results include pre-tax net realized investment gains of $65 million, compared to pre-tax net realized investment losses of $27 million in the year-ago quarter.

The Closed Block Business reported net income attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc. of $77 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to a net loss of $8 million for the year-ago quarter.

For the first nine months of 2010, the Closed Block Business reported income from continuing operations before income taxes of $777 million, compared to a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $572 million for the first nine months of 2009. The Closed Block Business reported net income attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc. of $517 million for the first nine months of 2010, compared to a net loss of $364 million for the first nine months of 2009.

applicable regulatory restrictions; and (27) risks due to the lack of legal separation between our Financial Services Businesses and our Closed Block Business. Prudential Financial, Inc. does not intend, and is under no obligation, to update any particular forward-looking statement included in this document.

Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure of performance of our Financial Services Businesses. 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 of our 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 excludes realized investment gains and losses from products that contain embedded derivatives, and from associated derivative portfolios that are part of a hedging 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 related to foreign currency exchange movements that have been economically hedged, as well as gains and losses on certain investments that are classified as other trading account assets and debt that is carried at fair value.

Adjusted operating income also excludes investment gains and losses on trading account assets supporting insurance 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. Trends in the underlying profitability of our businesses can be more clearly identified without the fluctuating effects of these transactions. In addition, adjusted operating income excludes the results of divested businesses, which are not relevant to our ongoing operations. Discontinued operations, which is presented as a separate component of net income under GAAP, is also excluded from adjusted operating income.

We believe that the presentation of adjusted operating income as we measure it for management purposes enhances understanding of the results of operations of the Financial Services Businesses by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of our businesses. However, adjusted operating income is not a substitute for income determined in accordance with GAAP, and the adjustments made to derive adjusted operating income are important to an understanding of our overall results of operations. The schedules accompanying this release provide a reconciliation of adjusted operating income for the Financial Services Businesses to income from continuing operations in accordance with GAAP.

The information referred to above, as well as the risks of our businesses described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, should be considered by readers when reviewing forward-looking statements contained in this release. Additional historical information relating to our financial performance is located on our Web site at www.investor.prudential.com.

(1) Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure of performance of our Financial Services Businesses that excludes “Realized investment gains (losses), net”, as adjusted, and related charges and adjustments; net investment gains and losses on trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities; change in experience-rated contractholder liabilities due to asset value changes; results of divested businesses and discontinued operations; earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests; and the related tax effects thereof. Adjusted operating income includes equity in earnings of operating joint ventures and the related tax effects thereof. Revenues and benefits and expenses shown as components of adjusted operating income, are presented on the same basis as pre-tax adjusted operating income and are adjusted for the items above as well.

Realized investment gains (losses) within certain of our 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 excludes realized investment gains and losses from products that contain embedded derivatives, and from associated derivative portfolios that are part of a hedging 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, as well as gains and losses on certain investments that are classified as other trading account assets and debt that is carried at fair value.

Adjusted operating income does not equate to “Income from continuing operations” as determined in accordance with GAAP but is the measure of profit or loss we use to evaluate segment performance. Adjusted operating income is not a substitute for income determined in accordance with GAAP, and our definition of adjusted operating income may differ from that used by other companies. The items above are important to an understanding of our overall results of operations. However, we believe that the presentation of adjusted operating income as we measure it for management purposes enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors of our businesses.

 

(2) Net income for the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business is determined in accordance with GAAP and includes general and administrative expenses charged to each of the businesses based on the Company’s methodology for allocation of such expenses. Cash flows between the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business related to administrative expenses are determined by a policy servicing fee arrangement that is based upon insurance and policies in force and statutory cash premiums. To the extent reported administrative expenses vary from these cash flow amounts, the differences are recorded, on an after-tax basis, as direct equity adjustments to the equity balances of each business. The direct equity adjustments modify earnings available to holders of Common Stock and Class B Stock for earnings per share purposes. Earnings per share of Common Stock based on adjusted operating income of the Financial Services Businesses reflects these adjustments as well.

 

(3) Premiums from new sales that are expected to be collected over a one year period. Group insurance annualized new business premiums exclude new premiums resulting from rate changes on existing policies, from additional coverage issued under our Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance contract, and from excess premiums on group universal life insurance that build cash value but do not purchase face amounts. Group insurance annualized new business premiums include premiums from the takeover of claim liabilities. Group disability amounts include long-term care products. Excess (unscheduled) and single premium business for the company’s domestic individual life and international insurance operations are included in annualized new business premiums based on a 10% credit.

 

(4) Actual amounts reflect the impact of currency fluctuations. Foreign denominated activity translated to U.S. dollars at uniform exchange rates for all periods presented, including Japanese yen 99 per U.S. dollar; Korean won 1040 per U.S. dollar. U.S. denominated activity is included based on the amounts as transacted in U.S. dollars.
