 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations ("MD&A") addresses the consolidated financial condition of Prudential
Financial, Inc. ("Prudential," "Prudential Financial," "PFI," or "the Company")
as of March 31, 2020, compared with December 31, 2019, and its consolidated
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. You

                                    Overview

Prudential Financial, a financial services leader with approximately $1.481
trillion of assets under management as of March 31, 2020, has operations
primarily in the United States of America ("U.S."), Asia, Europe and Latin
America. Through our subsidiaries and affiliates, we offer a wide array of
financial products and services, including life insurance, annuities,
retirement-related services, mutual funds and investment management. We offer
these products and services to individual and institutional customers through
one of the largest distribution networks in the financial services industry.

Our principal operations are comprised of PGIM (our global investment management
business), our U.S. Businesses (consisting of our U.S. Workplace Solutions, U.S.
Individual Solutions, and Assurance IQ divisions), our International Businesses,
the Closed Block division, and our Corporate and Other operations. The U.S.
Workplace Solutions division consists of our Retirement and Group Insurance
businesses, the U.S. Individual Solutions division consists of our Individual
Annuities and Individual Life businesses, and the Assurance IQ division consists
of our Assurance IQ business. In October 2019, we completed the acquisition of
Assurance IQ, LLC ("Assurance IQ"), a leading consumer solutions platform that
offers a range of solutions that help meet consumers' financial needs (see Note
1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional
information). 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. Divested and Run-off Businesses are comprised
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 generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Our Corporate and Other
operations include corporate items and initiatives that are not allocated to
business segments and businesses that have been or will be divested or placed in
run-off, excluding the Closed Block division.

Our strategy centers on our mix of high-quality protection, retirement and investment management businesses which creates growth potential due to earnings diversification and the opportunity to provide customers with integrated cross-business solutions, as well as capital benefits from a balanced risk profile. We are well positioned to meet the needs of customers and tap into significant market opportunities through our U.S. Businesses, PGIM (our investment management business) and our International Businesses.



We attribute financing costs to each segment based on the amount of financing
used by each segment, excluding financing costs associated with corporate debt
which are reflected in Corporate and Other operations. The net investment income
of each segment includes earnings on the amount of capital that management
believes is necessary to support the risks of that segment.


COVID-19



During the first quarter of 2020, the outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus
("COVID-19") created extreme stress and disruption in the global economy and
financial markets and elevated mortality and morbidity experience for the global
population. These events impacted our results of operations in the current
period and are expected to drive future impacts to our results of operations.
The Company has taken several measures to manage the impacts of this crisis. The
actual and expected impacts of these events and other items are included in the
following update:
• Outlook



PGIM. Our global investment management business, PGIM, is focused on maintaining
strong investment performance while leveraging the scale of its approximately
$1.3 trillion of assets under management through its distinctive multi-manager
model. We expect that earnings across the asset management industry, including
PGIM, will be negatively impacted in 2020 by the continued effects of credit
spreads widening, lower equity market values, lower transaction volume in
private asset classes, and a slowdown in client activity. In addition, our
average fee yield has decreased slightly in 2020 due to fee pressures in some
strategies and a continued mix shift in our assets under management from public
equities to public fixed income. These factors could lead to lower fee-based
revenues, incentive fees taking longer to be realized and additional losses in
our strategic investing portfolio. Nevertheless, we believe PGIM's uniquely
diversified global platform is well positioned to be resilient in the face of
market and industry headwinds. Underpinning our growth strategy is our ability
to continue to deliver robust investment performance, and to attract and retain
high-caliber investment talent.
U.S. Businesses:
U.S. Workplace Solutions. In our Retirement business, we expect that account
values in our full-service business will be impacted by market volatility and by
the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), which

                                       71

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provides qualified individuals the ability to withdraw from defined contribution
plans up to $100,000 penalty-free, with the withdrawal taxed over a three-year
period (unless otherwise elected by the individual). Market conditions are also
likely to have an impact on Retirement sales volume. We continue to maintain
pricing discipline to ensure we are achieving appropriate returns in the current
market, including in our funded pension risk transfer business, where we have
seen a slowdown in the pipeline as a result of the impact of these market
conditions on pension plan funding levels. Given many of the products in our
institutional investment products business assume longevity risk, elevated
levels of mortality resulting from COVID-19 may result in a higher level of
underwriting gains in this business. In our Group Insurance business, we expect
COVID-19 to drive elevated levels of mortality resulting in increased life
insurance claims in the near-term. In both Retirement and Group Insurance, we
believe over time COVID-19 may contribute to heightened interest in the
solutions we offer to help improve the financial wellness of individuals at the
workplace; however, we expect near-term revenue growth prospects to be slowed by
the impact of social distancing on new business sales and the impact of employee
financial hardships on utilization of workplace benefits.

U.S. Individual Solutions. In our Individual Life insurance business, we expect
COVID-19 to drive elevated levels of mortality, resulting in increased life
insurance claims in the near-term. In our Individual Annuities business, we
expect account values and fee income will be impacted by market volatility.
Across our Individual Solutions businesses, we have taken pricing and product
actions to ensure we realize appropriate returns for the current economic
environment, and to diversify our product mix to further limit our sensitivity
to interest rates, while maintaining a solid value proposition for our
customers. In addition, while our distribution platforms include a suite of
digital, hybrid advisory, and in-person advisory options, mandated social
distancing has limited in-person engagement between customers and advisors.
Collectively, we expect the product actions we have taken and the constrained
distribution environment to adversely impact our sales prospects in the
near-term. Sales to employees of our Workplace Solutions clients may also be
delayed as a result of current economic conditions, as we encourage employees to
prioritize workplace benefits to regain or retain their financial wellness. We
continue to expect to offer our Individual Solutions products on the Assurance
IQ platform over time, beginning with an Individual Life product offering added
in the second quarter.

Assurance IQ. We expect the impacts of COVID-19 on our Assurance IQ business to
be limited, as this business does not have direct exposure to capital markets
conditions or mortality, and its distribution is not dependent on in-person
engagement with consumers; however, consumer financial hardships created by the
current economic conditions could negatively impact persistency and expected
sales levels.
International Businesses. Our International Businesses remain focused on meeting
customers' protection and financial needs and maintaining the underlying
strength of our distribution channels. With the implementation of social
distancing protocols globally, in-person engagement between customers and
advisors will be limited in the near-term within both our captive agent and
third-party distribution channels. Reflective of the disruptions in the global
financial markets, certain pricing and product actions have been implemented and
we expect we will take additional actions as needed as we move forward to ensure
we maintain appropriate returns, while maintaining a solid value proposition for
our customers. Collectively, we expect the constrained distribution environment
and potential product actions will adversely impact our sales prospects in the
near-term. We also expect an increased level of claims in the near-term as a
result of elevated levels of mortality from COVID-19. We believe over time
COVID-19 may contribute to heightened interest in protection products,
particularly the death protection products that are at the core of our
needs-based selling approach.

Corporate and Other Operations. In our Corporate & Other operations, the Company
will likely see a short-term increase in medical and disability claims
associated with our active employee population resulting from COVID-19. These
plans are self-insured ("pay as you go"), where 100% of claims are incurred and
paid out of the Company's Corporate & Other operations. Also, the Company is
providing reimbursement for certain dependent care costs for eligible employees.
Like medical and disability, these costs will be borne by the Company's
Corporate and Other operations. Lastly, if equity market and interest rate
declines are sustained through December 31, 2020, it will likely result in
higher expenses in the future associated with the Company's pension and post
retirement plans due to lower than expected returns on plan assets and increases
in plan obligations.
•     Results of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 we

reported a net loss of $(271) million, as unfavorable financial market

conditions had a substantial negative effect on the reported results of our

businesses. See "Results of Operations" and "Segment Results of Operations"


      for a discussion of first quarter results.


• Liquidity. As of March 31, 2020, we had $5,293 million in highly liquid

assets at Prudential Financial. During the first quarter we took several

steps to proactively manage liquidity, including issuing $1.5 billion in

senior debt in part to pre-fund 2020 and 2021 maturities. We temporarily


      suspended Common Stock repurchases beginning April 1, 2020 under our
      existing repurchase authorization, after repurchasing $500 million of
      shares of Prudential Financial's Common Stock in



                                       72

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



the first quarter of 2020. We will continue to evaluate the resumption of share
repurchases under our existing Board authorization for 2020. The impact of
COVID-19 and related market dislocations could strain our existing liquidity and
cause us to increase the use of our alternative sources of liquidity, which
could result in increased financial leverage on our balance sheet and negatively
impact our credit and financial strength ratings or ratings outlooks. See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources-Liquidity" for a discussion of our liquidity.

• Capital Resources. As of March 31, 2020, all of our significant insurance

subsidiaries maintained capital levels consistent with their ratings

targets. However, market conditions could negatively impact the statutory

capital of our insurance companies and constrain our overall capital

flexibility. Continued adverse market conditions could require us to take

additional management actions for our insurance subsidiaries to maintain

capital consistent with their ratings objectives, which may include

redeploying financial resources from internal sources or, if markets

continue to decline, using available external sources of capital or seeking


      additional sources. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources-Capital" for a
      discussion of our capital resources.


• Investment Portfolio. Net unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturity

investments (excluding securities classified as trading) were a net

unrealized gain of $40,552 million as of March 31, 2020, compared to a net

unrealized gain of $44,891 million as of December 31, 2019. Gross

unrealized gains increased from $46,206 million as of December 31, 2019 to

$47,677 million as of March 31, 2020 and gross unrealized losses increased

from $1,315 million to $7,125 million for the same period. The increase in

gross unrealized losses was primarily due to credit spread widening and

liquidity concerns. The continued impact of COVID-19 on the global economy


      and corporate credit may result in credit migration and losses in our
      investment portfolio. Due to the highly uncertain nature of these
      conditions, it is not possible to estimate the overall impacts at this

time. The sectors most impacted by the COVID-19 crisis include energy,

consumer cyclical and retail related investments (see "-General Account

Investments" for additional information). Specific to our equity

investments in LPs/LLCs where we apply the equity method, we use financial

information provided by the investee, generally on a one to three-month

lag. As such, as a result of the lag, any unfavorable impacts from these

investments that were not recorded in the current period will be reflected


      in the next reporting period.


• Sales and Flows. First quarter sales and flows were not significantly

impacted by COVID-19. See "Segment Results of Operations" for a discussion


      of sales and flows in each of our segments.



•     Underwriting Results. First quarter mortality experience was not

significantly impacted by COVID-19. See "Segment Results of Operations" for

a discussion of mortality experience in each of our segments.





We expect COVID-19 could ultimately have an adverse impact on our underwriting
results of approximately $200 million in the aggregate across our businesses,
with more than half of this impact being in the second quarter of 2020. This
estimate gives effect to offsetting underwriting benefits and expenses, assumes
100,000 deaths across the total U.S. population and 40,000 deaths in Japan, and
adjusts for factors such as age, geographic location, and insured versus
uninsured populations.

• Expenses. We expect higher expenses of approximately $230 million in 2020

from costs associated with COVID-19, with more than half of this impact

being in the second quarter of 2020. These higher expenses are primarily

related to agent compensation, as well as technology and third-party vendor

capabilities related to remote work functionality and protecting our

employees' health. We also expect some offsets to these higher expenses

from lower travel, meeting, meal and entertainment costs. Expenses incurred

for the first quarter of 2020 were not significantly impacted by COVID-19.





We have initiated a number of customer accommodations in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, including in some cases extending grace periods for premium
payments, expediting claim payments and withdrawal requests, waiving certain
claims payment requirements, waiving certain transaction fees, and wiring funds
at the Company's expense.

• Risk Management. Prudential has a robust risk management framework that

seeks to ensure we can fulfill our customer, regulatory, and other

stakeholder obligations under a range of stress scenarios by maintaining

the appropriate balance between the Company's resources and risks. We

evaluate the Company's exposure to stress under four lenses (economic,

STAT, GAAP, and liquidity).





Our risk management framework incorporates severe to very severe stresses across
equities, interest rates, credit migration and defaults, currencies and
pandemics. This framework includes a specific "pandemic and sell-off" scenario
with a mortality calamity (1.5 extra deaths per 1,000 lives in the first year)
based on a modern-day interpretation of the 1918 Spanish Flu experience that is
aligned with most regulatory frameworks. The stress scenario assumes an even
distribution of increased mortality across the population, while current
COVID-19 mortality is sharply skewed toward older ages. As the COVID-19 event
continues to unfold, we continue to update our analysis and take management
actions in response to

                                       73

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this specific event. As of March 31, 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic has not reached the most severe levels included in the Company's stress testing.



In addition, we expect the impact of COVID-19-related claims to be moderated by
the balance between our mortality exposure (such as in our individual and group
life businesses) and our longevity exposure (such as in our retirement
business).

• Risk Factors. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our results of

operations, financial position, investment portfolio, new business

opportunities and operations, and these impacts are expected to continue.


      For additional information on the risks to our business posed by the
      COVID-19 pandemic, see "Risk Factors."


• Business Continuity. One of the main impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has

been executing our business continuity protocols to ensure our employees


      are safe and able to serve our customers. This included effectively
      transitioning the vast majority of our employees to remote work
      arrangements.



We believe all of our businesses can sustain remote work and social distancing
for an indefinite period while ensuring that critical business operations are
sustained. In addition, we are managing COVID-19-related impacts on third-party
provided services, and do not anticipate significant interruption in critical
operations.

• CARES Act and Other Regulatory Developments. In March, 2020 Congress

enacted the CARES Act, which provides $2 trillion in economic stimulus to


      taxpayers, small businesses, and corporations through various grant and
      loan programs, tax provisions and regulatory relief. We are analyzing the
      CARES Act and its potential impact on Prudential, and implementing
      operational changes necessary in our Retirement, Annuities and PGIM
      businesses to accommodate the CARES Act.



Other governments and regulators, including the Japan FSA, the NAIC and state
insurance regulators, have implemented, or are considering, a number of actions
in response to the crisis, including delaying implementation of certain
regulatory changes, temporarily waiving certain regulatory requirements and
requiring or requesting insurers to waive premium payments and policy provisions
and exclusions for certain periods of time.

The Company is not aware of any new or proposed government mandates that could materially impact the Company's solvency or liquidity position.

Impact of a Low Interest Rate Environment



As a global financial services company, market interest rates are a key driver
of our results of operations and financial condition. Changes in interest rates
can affect our results of operations and/or our financial condition in several
ways, including favorable or adverse impacts to:
•      investment-related activity, including: investment income returns, net

interest margins, net investment spread results, new money rates, mortgage

loan prepayments and bond redemptions;

• insurance reserve levels, market experience true-ups and amortization of

both deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") and value of business

acquired ("VOBA");

• customer account values, including their impact on fee income;




•      fair value of, and possible impairments on, intangible assets such as
       goodwill;

• product offerings, design features, crediting rates and sales mix; and

• policyholder behavior, including surrender or withdrawal activity.





For more information on interest rate risks, see the "Risk Factors" section and
"Risk Factors-Market Risk" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2019.

See below for discussions related to the current interest rate environments in
our two largest markets, the U.S. and Japan; the composition of our insurance
liabilities and policyholder account balances; and the hypothetical impacts to
our investment results if these interest rate environments are sustained.
U.S. Operations excluding the Closed Block Division

Interest rates in the U.S. have experienced a sustained period of historically
low levels with certain benchmarks reaching significant lows in the first
quarter of 2020. While market conditions and events make uncertain the timing,
amount and impact of any monetary policy decisions by the Federal Reserve,
changes in interest rates may impact our reinvestment yields, primarily for our
investments in fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans. As
interest rates decline, our reinvestment yield

                                       74

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



may be below our overall portfolio yield, resulting in an unfavorable impact to
earnings. Conversely, as interest rates rise, our reinvestment yield may exceed
the overall portfolio yield resulting in a favorable impact to earnings.

For the general account supporting our U.S. Individual Solutions division, U.S.
Workplace Solutions division and our Corporate and Other operations, we estimate
annual principal payments and prepayments that we would be required to reinvest
to be approximately 6.7% of the fixed maturity security and commercial mortgage
loan portfolios through 2021. The portion of the general account attributable to
these operations has approximately $221 billion of such assets (based on net
carrying value) as of March 31, 2020. The average portfolio yield for fixed
maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans is approximately 4.2% as of
March 31, 2020.

Included in the $221 billion of fixed maturity securities and commercial
mortgage loans are approximately $143 billion that are subject to call or
redemption features at the issuer's option and have a weighted average interest
rate of approximately 4%. Of this $143 billion, approximately 57% contain
provisions for prepayment premiums. If we reinvest scheduled payments or
prepayments (not subject to a prepayment fee) at rates below the current
portfolio yield, including in some cases at rates below those guaranteed under
our insurance contracts, future operating results will be impacted to the extent
we do not, or are unable to, reduce crediting rates on in-force blocks of
business, or effectively utilize other asset/liability management strategies
described below, in order to maintain current net interest margins.

The following table sets forth the insurance liabilities and policyholder
account balances of our U.S. Operations excluding the Closed Block Division, by
type, for the date indicated:
                                                                           As of
                                                                       March 31, 2020
                                                                       (in billions)

The $156 billion above relates to long-duration products such as group
annuities, structured settlements and other insurance products that have fixed
and guaranteed terms, for which underlying assets may have to be reinvested at
interest rates that are lower than portfolio rates. We seek to mitigate the
impact of a prolonged low interest rate environment on these contracts through
asset/liability management, as discussed further below.

The $59 billion above relates to contracts with crediting rates that may be
adjusted over the life of the contract, subject to guaranteed minimums. Although
we may have the ability to lower crediting rates for those contracts above
guaranteed minimums, our willingness to do so may be limited by competitive
pressures. The following table sets forth the related account values by range of
guaranteed minimum crediting rates and the related range of the difference, in

The remaining $15 billion of insurance liabilities and policyholder account
balances in these operations relates to participating contracts for which the
investment income risk is expected to ultimately accrue to contractholders. The
crediting rates for these contracts are periodically adjusted based on the
return earned on the related assets.

Assuming a hypothetical scenario where the average 10-year U.S. Treasury rate is
0.70% (which is reasonably consistent with recent rates) for the period from
April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 (and credit spreads remain unchanged from
levels as of March 31, 2020), we estimate that the unfavorable impact to net
investment income of reinvesting activities, including scheduled maturities and
estimated prepayments of fixed maturities and commercial mortgage and other
loans (excluding assets supporting participating contracts) would be between $40
million and $80 million for the period from April 1, 2020 through March 31,
2021.

In order to mitigate the unfavorable impact that a low interest rate environment
has on our net interest margins, we employ a proactive asset/liability
management program, which includes strategic asset allocation and hedging
strategies within a disciplined risk management framework. These strategies seek
to match the characteristics of our products, and to closely approximate the
interest rate sensitivity of the assets with the estimated interest rate
sensitivity of the product liabilities. Our asset/liability management program
also helps manage duration gaps, currency and other risks between assets and
liabilities through the use of derivatives. We adjust this dynamic process as
products change, as customer behavior changes and as changes in the market
environment occur. As a result, our asset/liability management process has
permitted us to manage the interest rate risk associated with our products
through several market cycles. Our interest rate exposure is also mitigated by
our business mix, which includes lines of business for which fee-based and
insurance underwriting earnings play a more prominent role in product
profitability.

Closed Block Division
Substantially all of the $59 billion of general account assets in the Closed
Block division support obligations and liabilities relating to the Closed Block
policies only. See Note 7 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information on the Closed Block.

International Insurance Operations



While our international insurance operations have experienced a low interest
rate environment for many years, the current reinvestment yields for certain
blocks of business in our international insurance operations are generally lower
than the current portfolio yield supporting these blocks of business. In recent
years, the Bank of Japan's monetary policy has resulted in even lower and, at
times, negative yields for certain tenors of government bonds. Our international
insurance operations employ a proactive asset/liability management program in
order to mitigate, to the extent possible, the unfavorable impact that the
current interest rate environment has on our net interest margins. In
conjunction with this program, we have not purchased negative yielding assets to
support the portfolio and we continue to purchase long-term bonds with tenors of
30 years or greater. Additionally, our diverse product portfolio in terms of
currency mix and premium payment structure allows us to further mitigate the
negative impact from this low interest rate environment. We regularly examine
our product offerings and their profitability. As a result, we have repriced
certain products, adjusted commissions for certain products and have
discontinued sales of other products that do not meet our profit expectations.
The impact of these actions and the introduction of certain new products, has
resulted in an increase in sales of U.S. dollar-denominated products relative to
products denominated in other currencies. For additional information on sales
within our international insurance operations, see "-International
Businesses-Sales Results," below.

The following table sets forth the insurance liabilities and policyholder
account balances of our Japanese operations, by type, for the date indicated:

the life of the contract, subject to guaranteed minimums. Most of the current
crediting rates on these contracts, however, are at or near contractual
minimums. Although we have the ability in some cases to lower crediting rates
for those contracts that are above guaranteed minimum crediting rates, the
majority of this business has interest crediting rates that are determined by
formula.

Assuming a hypothetical scenario where the average 30-year Japanese Government
Bond yield is 0.40% and the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate is 0.70% (which is
reasonably consistent with recent rates) for the period from April 1, 2020
through March 31, 2021 (and credit spreads remain unchanged from levels as of
March 31, 2020), we estimate that the unfavorable impact to net investment
income of reinvesting activities, including scheduled maturities and estimated
prepayments of fixed maturities and commercial mortgage and other loans
(excluding assets supporting participating contracts) would be between $40
million and $80 million for the period from April 1, 2020 through March 31,
2021.
