NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE:PRU) today reported third quarter results. Net income attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc. was $1.827 billion ($4.07 per Common share) for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $1.465 billion ($3.16 per Common share) for the year-ago quarter. After-tax adjusted operating income was $1.191 billion ($2.66 per Common share) for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $1.110 billion ($2.40 per Common share) for the year-ago quarter. Information regarding adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP measure, is provided below.
For the first nine months of 2016, net income attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc. was $4.084 billion ($9.02 per Common share), compared to $4.907 billion ($10.56 per Common share) for the first nine months of 2015. After-tax adjusted operating income was $3.017 billion ($6.67 per Common share) for the first nine months of 2016, compared to $3.758 billion ($8.09 per Common share) for the first nine months of 2015.
Adjusted operating income does not equate to net income as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but is the measure used by the Company to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources, and is the measure of segment performance presented below. Consolidated adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure and is discussed later in this press release under “Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Measure.” A reconciliation of adjusted operating income to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables that accompany this release.
RESULTS OF ONGOING OPERATIONS
The Company’s ongoing operations include the U.S. Retirement Solutions and Investment Management, U.S. Individual Life and Group Insurance, and International Insurance divisions, as well as Corporate and Other Operations. 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 $1.018 billion for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $732 million in the year-ago quarter.

The Individual Annuities segment reported adjusted operating income of $588 million in the current quarter, compared to $310 million in the year-ago quarter. Current quarter results include a net benefit of $139 million from an updated estimate of profitability driven by market performance in relation to our assumptions. Results for the year-ago quarter included a net charge of $76 million to reflect an updated estimate of profitability from the impact of market performance in relation to our assumptions, and a $28 million charge for estimated costs related to potential contract cancellations. Excluding the effect of the foregoing items, results for the Individual Annuities segment increased $35 million from the year-ago quarter. This increase came primarily from a greater contribution from net investment results which included current quarter returns on non-coupon investments and prepayment fees approximately $10 million above our average expectations, and from higher policy fees, net of associated risk management and other related costs. The greater contribution from policy fees reflected efficiencies from recently implemented refinements in risk management strategies relative to contract guarantees and greater average variable annuity account values.

The Retirement segment reported adjusted operating income of $239 million for the current quarter, compared to $242 million in the year-ago quarter. Current quarter results include a charge of $34 million for costs relating to legal matters, while results for the year-ago quarter included a benefit of $20 million from reserve refinements related to systems enhancements. Excluding the effect of the foregoing items, results for the Retirement segment increased $51 million from the year-ago quarter. This increase reflected $79 million greater earnings from net investment results, including current quarter returns on non-coupon investments and prepayment fees about $55 million above our average expectations, partly offset by a less favorable contribution from case experience. The current quarter contribution to results from case experience including reserve strengthening in a legacy case was approximately $20 million below our average quarterly expectations.

Asset Management: | ||||
Adjusted operating income | $191 | $180 | ||
The Asset Management segment reported adjusted operating income of $191 million for the current quarter, compared to $180 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by higher asset management fees reflecting growth in fixed income assets under management and fee rate modifications within certain real estate funds, partly offset by higher net expenses. In addition, results reflected a $6 million lower contribution from the segment’s incentive, transaction, strategic investing and commercial mortgage activities, which amounted to $16 million for the current quarter.
The U.S. Individual Life and Group Insurance division reported adjusted operating income of $173 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $227 million in the year-ago quarter.
U.S. INDIVIDUAL LIFE AND GROUP |

Individual Life: | ||||
Adjusted operating income | $111 | $183 | ||
The Individual Life segment reported adjusted operating income of $111 million for the current quarter, compared to $183 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease reflected less favorable claims experience, higher expenses and a negative impact from reserve refinements in the current quarter, partly offset by a greater contribution from net investment results. The net contribution to current quarter results from claims experience, inclusive of reinsurance, associated reserve updates and amortization, was about $30 million less favorable than our average expectations. In comparison, the year-ago quarter contribution was about $25 million more favorable than average expectations. In addition, current quarter results include charges for reserve refinements and higher than typical legal costs which together amounted to about $20 million. The current quarter contribution to earnings from net investment results included returns on non-coupon investments and prepayment fees about $10 million more favorable than our average expectations.

Group Insurance: | ||||
Adjusted operating income | $62 | $44 | ||
The Group Insurance segment reported adjusted operating income of $62 million in the current quarter, compared to $44 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase reflected a $13 million greater contribution from net investment results, including current quarter returns on non-coupon investments and prepayment fees approximately $10 million above our average expectations, as well as more favorable underwriting results.
The International Insurance segment reported adjusted operating income of $780 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $812 million in the year-ago quarter.

Life Planner Operations: | ||||
Adjusted operating income | $391 | $398 | ||
Adjusted operating income of the segment’s Life Planner operations was $391 million for the current quarter, compared to $398 million in the year-ago quarter. Foreign currency exchange rates, including the impact of the Company’s currency hedging programs, had an unfavorable impact of $23 million in comparison to the year-ago quarter. Excluding this impact, results increased $16 million from the year-ago quarter. The benefits to current quarter results from continued business growth, more favorable policy surrender experience, and a greater contribution from net investment results including returns on non-coupon investments and prepayment fees slightly above our average expectations were partly offset by less favorable claims experience. The contribution to current quarter earnings from claims experience was about $10 million greater than our average expectations, as compared to about $15 million greater than average expectations in the year-ago quarter.
INTERNATIONAL INSURANCE ($ millions) |

Gibraltar Life and Other Operations: | ||||
Adjusted operating income | $389 | $414 | ||
Adjusted operating income of the segment’s Gibraltar Life and Other operations was $389 million for the current quarter, compared to $414 million in the year-ago quarter. Foreign currency exchange rates, including the impact of the Company’s currency hedging programs, had an unfavorable impact of $30 million in comparison to the year-ago quarter. Excluding this impact, results increased $5 million from the year-ago quarter. The benefit to current quarter results from business growth, including a contribution from the Company’s indirect investment in AFP Habitat acquired on March 2, 2016, was largely offset by higher expenses including greater than typical current quarter costs associated with employee benefit plans and office relocations. More favorable claims experience, with a contribution to current quarter earnings about $10 million greater than our average expectations, was largely offset by a lower benefit from policy surrender experience. The current quarter contribution from net investment results was essentially unchanged from the year-ago quarter and slightly less favorable than our average expectations.
Corporate and Other operations resulted in a loss, on an adjusted operating income basis, of $413 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to a loss of $308 million in the year-ago quarter.
CORPORATE AND OTHER ($ millions) |
3Q:16 | 3Q:15 | ||
Adjusted operating income (loss) | $(413) | $(308) | ||
The increased loss came primarily from higher net expenses in the current quarter including higher costs for employee benefit and compensation plans tied to equity market returns and a benefit to year-ago quarter results from a reinsurance recovery.
ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
Assets under management amounted to $1.314 trillion at September 30, 2016, compared to $1.184 trillion at December 31, 2015.
NET INCOME AND INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
Net income attributable to Prudential Financial, Inc. amounted to $1.827 billion for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $1.465 billion for the year-ago quarter.
Current quarter net income includes $649 million of pre-tax net realized investment gains and related charges and adjustments. The foregoing net gains include net pre-tax gains of $553 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, and $250 million from general portfolio and related activities. The foregoing gains were partially offset by pre-tax losses of $114 million related to derivatives used in risk management activities including asset and liability duration management and $40 million from impairments and sales of credit-impaired investments.
Net income for the current quarter reflects pre-tax increases of $37 million in recorded asset values and decreases of $1 million in recorded liabilities representing changes in value which are expected to ultimately accrue to contractholders. These changes primarily represent mark-to-market adjustments.
Net income for the current quarter also reflects pre-tax income of $87 million from divested businesses, primarily reflecting results from long term care and the Closed Block division.
Net income for the year-ago quarter included $438 million of pre-tax net realized investment gains and related charges and adjustments, including pre-tax gains of $304 million related to derivatives used in risk management activities including asset and liability duration management, $231 million from general portfolio and related activities, and $69 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. The foregoing gains were partly offset by pre-tax losses of $166 million from impairments and sales of credit-impaired investments.
Excluding holdings of the Closed Block division, gross unrealized losses on general account fixed maturity investments at September 30, 2016 amounted to $1.424 billion, including $1.021 billion on high and highest quality securities based on NAIC or equivalent ratings, and amounted to $3.398 billion at December 31, 2015. Net unrealized gains on these investments amounted to $42.385 billion at September 30, 2016, compared to $23.739 billion at December 31, 2015.

Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure of performance. 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 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 classified as other trading account assets.
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 and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests, each of which is presented as a separate component of net income under GAAP, are also excluded from adjusted operating income.
We believe that the presentation of adjusted operating income as we measure it for management purposes enhances the understanding of the results of operations 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 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, 2015 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, should be considered by readers when reviewing forward-looking statements contained in this release. Additional historic 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 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 or considered part of our capital funding strategies for our international subsidiaries, as well as gains and losses on certain investments that are classified as other trading account assets. | ||
Adjusted operating income does not equate to "Income from continuing operations" as determined in accordance with U.S. 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 U.S. 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) | Book value per share of Common Stock including accumulated other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2015 includes a $500 million increase in equity and a 5.5 million increase in diluted shares reflecting the dilutive impact of exchangeable surplus notes when book value per share is greater than $90.85, and as of September 30, 2016 includes a $500 million increase in equity and a 5.6 million increase in diluted shares reflecting the dilutive impact of exchangeable surplus notes when book value per share is greater than $88.90. | |
(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. 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. Constant amounts reflect foreign denominated activity translated to U.S. dollars at uniform exchange rates for all periods presented, including Japanese yen 106 per U.S. dollar and Korean won 1100 per U.S. dollar. U.S. dollar-denominated activity is included based on the amounts as transacted in U.S. dollars. |
