Notes

(i)Segment results are attributed to the shareholders of the Group before deducting the amount attributable to the non-controlling interests. This presentation is applied consistently throughout the document. For definitions of AER and CER refer to note A1.
(ii)The Mainland China segment is the Group’s 50 per cent ownership in CITIC-Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited, a life joint venture with CITIC, a leading Chinese state-owned conglomerate.

(iii)

The Growth markets and other segment includes non-insurance entities that support the Group’s insurance business and the result for this segment is after deducting the corporate taxes arising from the life joint ventures and associates.

(iv)

Net investment return and other items includes an adjustment to eliminate intercompany profits. Entities within the Prudential Group can provide services to each other, the most significant example being the provision of asset management services by Eastspring to the life entities. If the associated expenses are deemed attributable to the entity’s insurance contracts then the costs are included within the estimate of future cash flows when measuring the insurance contract under IFRS 17. In the Group’s consolidated accounts, IFRS 17 requires the removal of the intercompany profit from the measurement of the insurance contract. Put another way, the future cash flows include the cost to the Group (not the insurance entity) of providing the service. In the period that the service is provided, the entity undertaking the service, for example Eastspring, recognises the profit it earns as part of its results. To avoid any double counting, an adjustment is included with the centre’s 'net investment return and other item' to remove the benefit already recognised when valuing the insurance contract.

(v)

Corporate expenditure as shown above is for head office functions.

(vi)

Restructuring and IFRS 17 implementation costs largely comprise the costs of Group-wide projects including the implementation of IFRS 17 (including one-off costs associated with embedding IFRS 17), reorganisation programmes and initial costs of establishing new business initiatives and operations. The costs include those incurred in insurance and asset management operations of $(59) million (2023: $(81) million; 2022: $(137) million).

(vii)

Loss attaching to corporate transactions in 2024 mainly relates to the held for sale businesses (further details are provided in note C1.2). The $(22) million loss in 2023 largely reflected costs incurred on the termination of corporate services. The $55m gain in 2022 largely arose from the sale of shares relating the Group’s retained interest in Jackson post the demerger.

Notes

(i)

The Group’s share of the results from the joint ventures and associates that are equity accounted for, including the Group's life joint venture in Mainland China, is presented in a single line within the Group’s profit before tax on a net of related tax basis, and therefore not shown in the analysis of revenue line items above. Revenue from external customers of the Mainland China joint venture (Prudential’s share) in 2024 is $573 million (2023: $560 million; 2022: $595 million). Further financial information on the Mainland China joint venture is provided in note D6.3.

(ii)

Other adjustments comprise experience adjustment for premium receipts relating to past and current services provided under insurance contracts and insurance revenue earned from contracts measured under the PAA as well as the revenue recognised to cover the tax charge attributable to policyholders.

(iii)

Other revenue comprises revenue from external customers and consists primarily of revenue from the Group’s asset management business of $333 million (2023: $299 million; 2022: $330 million). Also included in other revenue is fee income on financial instruments that are not held at fair value through profit or loss of $5 million (2023: $3 million; 2022: $2 million).

(iv)

Due to the nature of the business of the Group, there is no reliance on any major customers. Of the Group’s markets, other than Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore as shown above, no individual markets have revenue from external customers that exceeds 10 per cent of the Group total for the years presented.

Notes

(i)

The Group has made an accounting policy choice to disaggregate the finance component of the risk adjustment and present it under insurance finance income (expenses) instead of insurance service result.

(ii)

The analysis of the investment return on the assets of the Group is provided in note B1.3. The investment return included in the income statement relates to all investment assets of the Group, irrespective of whether the return is attributable to shareholders or policyholders or whether the assets are backing insurance contracts classified as VFA or GMM. The impact of changes in market movements on the assets and insurance contract liabilities will vary depending on whether the insurance contracts are classified as VFA or GMM, which is discussed further in note C6.1. For example, a significant portion of the Group’s investment portfolio comprises assets that are part of the underlying items relating to VFA contracts. Market movements in these underlying assets, as included in Investment return, are matched by a movement in insurance liabilities as included in Insurance finance income (expense). Accordingly, the principal driver for the year-on-year variations in the 'Changes in fair value of underlying assets and other adjustments relating to VFA contracts' in the table above is the investment return element, as shown directionally in the 'Net gains on financial instruments at FVTPL' in the table in note B1.3.

(iii)

Other finance expense from insurance contracts includes the effect of changes in the policyholders’ interest in the excess net assets of relevant participating funds of $(110) million (2023: $(192) million; 2022: $515 million).

(iv)

Other finance income (expense) from reinsurance contracts held includes the effect of changes in non-performance risk of reinsurers of $24 million (2023: $(3) million; 2022: $(7) million).

Note

The Growth markets and other segment comprises all other Asia and Africa insurance businesses alongside other amounts that are not included in the segment profit of an individual business unit, including tax on life joint ventures and associates that are accounted for on an equity-method basis. Accordingly, on the segmental analysis of the profit after tax basis above, the amount shown for Mainland China is before tax (with its tax being included in the Growth markets and other segment). The Group's share of the Mainland China joint venture’s post-tax result was $141 million (2023: $(366) million; 2022: $(275) million).
