Forward-Looking Statements, Non-GAAP Measures, and Other Disclosures Certain of the statements included in this presentation, including our expected earnings per share and the underlying assumptions, financial targets, market opportunities, priorities for growth, and sensitivities and metrics constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “includes,” “plans,” “assumes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “should,” “will,” “shall” or variations of such words are generally part of forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects upon Prudential Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting Prudential Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries will be those anticipated by management. These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and there are certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from expectations or estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements, including, among others: (1) losses on investments or financial contracts due to deterioration in credit quality or value, or counterparty default; (2) losses on insurance products due to mortality experience, morbidity experience or policyholder behavior experience that differs significantly from our expectations when we price our products; (3) changes in interest rates, equity prices and foreign currency exchange rates that may (a) adversely impact the profitability of our products, the value of separate accounts supporting these products or the value of assets we manage, (b) result in losses on derivatives we use to hedge risk or increase collateral posting requirements and (c) limit opportunities to invest at appropriate returns; (4) guarantees within certain of our products, in particular our variable annuities, which are market sensitive and may decrease our earnings or increase the volatility of our results of operations or financial position; (5) liquidity needs resulting from (a) derivative collateral market exposure, (b) asset/liability mismatches, (c) the lack of available funding in the financial markets or (d) unexpected cash demands due to severe mortality calamity or lapse events; (6) financial or customer losses, or regulatory and legal actions, due to inadequate or failed processes or systems, human error or misconduct, and external events, such as (a) disruption of our systems and data, (b) an information security breach, (c) a failure to protect the privacy of sensitive data or (d) reliance on third-parties, including to distribute our products; (7) changes in the regulatory landscape, including related to (a) changes in tax laws, (b) fiduciary rule developments, (c) U.S. state insurance laws and developments regarding group-wide supervision, capital and reserves, (d) insurer capital standards outside the U.S. and (e) privacy and cybersecurity regulation; (8) technological changes which may adversely impact companies in our investment portfolio or cause insurance experience to deviate from our assumptions; (9) ratings downgrades; (10) market conditions that may adversely affect the sales or persistency of our products; (11) competition; and (12) reputational damage. Prudential Financial, Inc. does not undertake to update any particular forward-looking statement included in this document. See “Risk Factors” included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for discussion of certain risks relating to our businesses and investment in our securities. This presentation also includes references to adjusted operating income, adjusted book value and adjusted operating return on equity, which is based on adjusted operating income and adjusted book value. Consolidated adjusted operating income and adjusted book value are not calculated based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). For additional information about adjusted operating income, adjusted book value and adjusted operating return on equity and the comparable GAAP measures, including reconciliations between the comparable measures, please refer to our quarterly results news releases, which are available on our Web site at www.investor.prudential.com. Reconciliations are also included as part of this presentation. Our expectation of Common Stock earnings per share is based on after-tax adjusted operating income. Due to the inherent difficulty in reliably quantifying future realized investment gains/losses and changes in asset and liability values given their unknown timing and potential significance, we cannot, without unreasonable effort, provide a measure of our Common Stock earnings per share expectation based on income from continuing operations, which is the GAAP measure most comparable to adjusted operating income. Analysts’ estimates or forecasts are theirs alone and do not represent the Company’s estimates or forecasts. The Company does not by its reference to such information imply its endorsement or concurrence. ____________________________________________________________________________ Prudential Financial, Inc. of the United States is not affiliated with Prudential plc which is headquartered in the United Kingdom. 2019 Financial Outlook Conference Call

2019 Financial Outlook Conference Call Reconciliation of AOI Per Share to the Comparable GAAP Measure(1) Represents results of FSB for periods prior to 2015.

19 2019 Financial Outlook Conference Call Reconciliations of Adjusted Book Value to the Comparable GAAP Measure(1) Represents results of FSB for 2012. 2017 amounts have been revised resulting from the elimination of Gibraltar Life’s one-month reporting lag. As of the fourth quarter of 2017, exchangeable surplus notes are dilutive when book value per share is greater than $85.00 (equivalent to an additional 5.88 million in diluted shares and an increase of $500 million in equity). Book value per share as of December 31, 2012 excludes the impact of exchangeable surplus notes due to the anti-dilutive impact of conversion. Foreign currency translation adjustments and the cumulative impact of foreign currency exchange rate remeasurement, except for those items remeasured through net income (loss), are a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Includes $1,678 million impact reported in net income for the fourth quarter of 2017 from the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities originally established through accumulated other comprehensive income, related to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017. Also includes the cumulative impact of net gains and losses resulting from foreign currency exchange rate remeasurement and associated realized investment gains and losses included in net income (loss) and currency translation adjustments corresponding to realized investment gains and losses.

20 2019 Financial Outlook Conference Call Reconciliation of AOI Earnings Per Share to the Comparable GAAP Measure And to Earnings Per Share Excluding Notable Items Notable Items represent the impact on results from our annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements, the quarterly updated estimate of Individual Annuities profitability driven by market performance versus assumptions, and the approximate impact attributable to variances from the Company’s expectations. The Company chooses to highlight the impact of these items because it believes their contribution to results in a given period may not be indicative of future performance. These notable items do not include seasonality impacts on quarterly revenue or expense patterns and may not encompass all items that could affect earnings trends. Average expectations used for comparison herein are those in effect for the respective periods shown at the time of original reporting and are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the Company’s expectations. These items, where significant, are individually identified for the respective periods in the Company’s earnings releases, available at www.investor.prudential.com. Notable Items after-tax are based on application of 21% tax rate.
