Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
The Directors present their strategic report for PGIM European Services Limited ('PGIMESL' or the 'Company')
for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Principal activities
The Company performs certain UK based services, on behalf of the ultimate parent company, Prudential
Financial, Inc. (‘PFI’), and its subsidiaries ('PFI Group').
These services are to provide the administration of payroll and pension payments to certain PFI employees and
to provide shared services to the PFI Group.
On 24 December 2025, the Company established a new subsidiary PFI India Innovation Center Private Limited
(PFI India), the first capital injection into the subsidiary was made on 27 January 2026.
In 2011, the Company became the principal employer for the Pramerica UK Retirement Savings Plan (‘Plan’),
formerly called the Bache and Associates Retirement Plan.
The Plan includes both a defined benefit scheme and a defined contribution scheme. The defined benefit scheme
was closed to new members in 2001 (see note 2 to the financial statements). The Company continued to act as
the principal employer for the Plan and to perform its administrative duties in 2025, and will continue to do so
for the foreseeable future.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Fair review of the business
During the year the Company continued to provide payroll and pension administration services and taxation and
human resources support to the PFI Group. The Directors are satisfied with the result for the year and the
financial position at the balance sheet date and note that the loss for the year of £0.7m (2024 loss: £0.5m) is
largely attributable to pension related administration expenses.
The Directors do not foresee any change to the nature of the Company’s activity going forward.
Section 172 (1) Statement
The Strategic Report must include a statement describing how the Directors have a regard to the matters as set
out in section 172(1) of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) as detailed below. Sections 465 to 467 of CA 2006
do allow for certain exemptions from this disclosure on the basis of size or materiality, however the Company is
excluded from benefiting from these exemptions on the basis that it forms part of an ineligible group, that is the
Company's ultimate parent, PFI, is listed in the US (NYSE: PRU).
(a) The likely consequences of any decision in the long term
The Company regularly assesses its strategy from both a commercial and risk perspective to ensure the long
term consequences of any strategic decision are understood and taken into account.
The Company considers expected performance and cash flows when assessing whether it has sufficient liquidity
and capital adequacy to meet its obligations as they fall due. The net assets of the Company as at 31 December
2025 were £7.0m (2024: £3.9m).
The Directors are mindful of the environmental and social impact of the long term decisions made within the
Company and to support the management of the Company with its Environmental and Social Governance, a
Group Global Head of ESG was appointed during the year, based in the London offices.

(b) The interests of the Company’s employees
The Company views its employees as fundamental to the success of the business. The Directors take active steps
to ensure that the suggestions, views and interests of the workforce are captured and considered in their
decision-making.
The Company continues to operate a hybrid working model, reflecting the understanding that many aspects of
employees’ roles can be delivered effectively remotely and that flexibility contributes positively to employee
wellbeing and engagement. At the same time, the hybrid model is designed to preserve PGIM’s culture,
creativity and mentorship, which are integral to delivering high‑quality outcomes for clients and investors.
Employee Wellbeing
Employee wellbeing remains a priority for the Company.  A range  of initiatives are in place to support mental,
physical and financial wellbeing, including:

• Recognition and celebration of key heritage and awareness months, such as Women’s History Month,
UK Black History Month, UK Inclusion Week and Pride Month.
• Regular EMEA Culture & Inclusion newsletter to share information with employees, raise awareness,

the workforce is involved and informed:
• Business Communication and Transparency Employees receive regular updates on Group
performance and priorities through company‑wide Town Halls, business briefings, and senior

Engagement with employees
Within the Company, diversity of perspectives is at the core of who we are and what we do. The Company
believes that harnessing the differences and creating a workplace where all talent thrives is what allows us to
deliver the exceptional outcomes our clients have come to expect. The Company’s programmes and policies are
designed to ensure that upon joining the Company and throughout their career, all employees feel welcomed,
supported and empowered to unlock their full potential at work each day.
Inclusion is not just something we aspire to, it’s an obligation. The Company’s leaders and colleagues across the
globe are committed to creating a culture of belonging, where diverse perspectives and non-consensus views can
be voiced and heard. As highlighted in the Strategic Report with details on initiatives taken, the Company views
its employees as fundamental to the success of the business. In the context of the Company’s long term strategy
of recruiting and retaining talent and to meet the needs of our broad community, the Company offers global
programming year-round. In Europe our Culture and Inclusion Council (CIC), made up of senior leaders from
across our business, meets every 2 months to oversee regional culture and inclusion priorities.
The Company's global inclusion initiatives provide opportunities for the Company community to come together
and celebrate heritage months throughout the year, including International Women’s Day, Pride Month and
Black History Month. Inclusive Leadership is PGIM’s multi-year behaviour and culture change programme, in
partnership with the Neuro Leadership Institute, aimed at developing more inclusive behaviours among
colleagues-particularly leaders-and infusing a greater sense of belonging across the organisation.
The Company is committed to providing fair and equal opportunities to all our employees, whether they are
able-bodied or have a disability. The Company endeavours to make any reasonable adjustments that may be
necessary to facilitate the employment of people with disabilities. In addition, during the course of employment,
the Company makes reasonable accommodations for any physical or mental conditions that employees may
have.
(c) The need to foster the Company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others
The Company works to foster positive business relationships with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders.
Relationships with customers are governed by written contracts to ensure transparency and clarity of expectation
of performance.
The Company has established good working relationships with its suppliers and seeks to ensure a responsible
payment culture. Following a review of the Modern Slavery Act, the Company has engaged with its suppliers to
ensure mutual compliance.
The Company maintains good performance payment practices ensuring that suppliers continued to be paid in a
timely manner.
(d) The impact of the Company’s operations on the community and the environment
The Company encourages its employees to contribute to the community in which the Company operates by
offering the opportunity to take part in local charity and volunteering initiatives. The Company seeks where
possible to minimize its impact on the environment and has developed in-house initiatives, such as an internal
recycling scheme and the provision of employee cycle racks, to this aim.
The Company’s Grand Building offices uses 100% renewable energy for its electricity supply.
(e) Maintaining high standards of business conduct
There is worldwide engagement with employees regarding individual conduct and the high standards of ethics
and integrity expected of employees is outlined is Prudential’s Code of Conduct “Making the Right Choices”.
The Code of Conduct is supported by ongoing training and annual re-certification.
(f) The need to act fairly between members of the Company

Principal risks and uncertainties
The Directors regularly assess the risks faced by the Company and believe that its principal risk is business risk
which is defined as the Company’s failure to meet its strategic objectives through significant market movements
or other external factors. The Company’s approach to managing business risk is to closely monitor market and
other movements in the business environment and amend its strategy where necessary.
Market risk
The Company is exposed to market risks, principally in the form of foreign exchange risk. Foreign exchange
risk arises from fluctuations in the value of its assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Pounds
Sterling. To the extent that the market risk associated with a particular asset or liability is deemed to be material,
the Company is able to utilise various hedging strategies to mitigate this risk. The Company currently has no
material foreign exchange assets or liabilities and has no currency hedges in place.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises mainly from cash holdings and from receivables from third parties, including balances with
other affiliated companies. The Company’s approach to managing this risk is to hold cash with large,
systemically important banks and to monitor and arrange settlement of receivable balances and non-affiliated
balances with third parties on a timely basis. The Company does not therefore consider credit risk to be material.
Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk through a combination of maintenance of cash surpluses held by the
Company, funding lines with affiliated companies and detailed regular forecasting of the Company’s funding
requirements, and does not consider liquidity risk to be material.
Business Continuity Risk
The Company maintains an operational control environment, supported by the Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
framework.

Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The Directors have performed an analysis of expected cashflows and on the 2026 expected performance on the
Company. The Directors have performed an analysis of actual and potential impact of the current market conditions
on the financial position, including work performed on stress-testing such as a severe but plausible downside
scenario, and planned for mitigating actions that can be taken. The Company has sufficient liquidity and access to
sources of additional funding to enable it to meet its strategic goals as planned for at least 12 months from the
signing of the financial statements.
Following the imposition of US tariffs and the ensuing market volatility, the potential financial impact for the
Company of this is difficult to forecast and the Directors are keeping the position under review.
Because of the diversity of its revenue base, its liquidity and the strength of its balance sheet, the Directors are
confident that the Company is a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis.
Directors' indemnity statement
As permitted by the Articles of Association, the Directors have the benefit of an indemnity which is a qualifying
third party indemnity provision as defined by Section 234 of the Companies Act 2006. The indemnity was in force
during the financial year and also at the date of approval of the financial statements. The Company does not have its
own Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance but is covered by a scheme run by its ultimate parent, PFI,
maintained throughout the financial year in respect of itself and its directors.
Statement of directors’ responsibilities in respect of the financial statements
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with
applicable law and regulation.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the
directors have prepared the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting
Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”, and applicable law).
Under company law, directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a
true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In
preparing the financial statements, the directors are required to:
• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
• state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed,
subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
• make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
company will continue in business.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) ("ISAs (UK)") and applicable
law. Our responsibilities under ISAs (UK) are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the
financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We remained independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit
of the financial statements in the UK, which includes the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Conclusions relating to going concern
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or
conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a
going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of
accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this conclusion is not a guarantee as to the
company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the
relevant sections of this report.
Page 10
Reporting on other information
The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and
our auditors’ report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial
statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except to
the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify an apparent material
inconsistency or material misstatement, we are required to perform procedures to conclude whether there is a
material misstatement of the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on
the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report based on these responsibilities.
With respect to the Strategic report and Directors' Report, we also considered whether the disclosures required by
the UK Companies Act 2006 have been included.
Based on our work undertaken in the course of the audit, the Companies Act 2006 requires us also to report certain
opinions and matters as described below.
Strategic report and Directors' Report
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, the information given in the Strategic report
and Directors' Report for the year ended 31 December 2025 is consistent with the financial statements and has been
prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit,
we did not identify any material misstatements in the Strategic report and Directors' Report.
Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Statement of directors’ responsibilities in respect of the financial statements, the
directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the applicable framework
and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. The directors are also responsible for such internal control
as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Page 11
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including
fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance
with laws and regulations related to the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation, and we considered the extent
to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We evaluated management’s
incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of
controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to manipulation of financial data to present a more
favourable financial or capital position. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
• Enquiries with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance
with laws and regulations and fraud;
• Reviewing relevant meeting minutes, including those of the Board;
• Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates,
in particular the valuation of the defined benefit obligation and plan assets;
• Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account
combinations; and
• Designing audit procedures to incorporate unpredictability around the nature, timing or extent of our
testing.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of
instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher
than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example,
forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s website
at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors’ report.
Use of this report
This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the company’s members as a body in
accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving
these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is
shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Other required reporting
Companies Act 2006 exception reporting
Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
• we have not obtained all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
• adequate accounting records have not been kept by the company or returns adequate for our audit have not
been received from branches not visited by us; or
• the company's financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
• certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made.
We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility.

2    Accounting policies
Summary of material accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The Company is preparing its financial statements in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 – The
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (‘FRS 102’). The financial
statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Companies Act
2006. The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out
below.

for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 (continued)
2    Accounting policies (continued)
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The Directors have performed an assessment of the expected performance of the company for the 12 months
following the signature of the financial statements. Because of the nature of its revenue base and the strength of
its balance sheet, the directors are confident that the company can meet its liabilities as they fall due for the next
12 months and is a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Due to the US tariffs and subsequent market volatility, forecasting the potential financial impact on the
Company remains challenging. The Directors are actively monitoring the situation.
The Company will continue to act as the principal employer for the Plan and to perform its administrative duties
for the foreseeable future. The Company will continue to recharge the cost of the shared services functions for
the foreseeable future.
Exemptions for qualifying entities under FRS 102
FRS 102 allows a qualifying entity certain disclosure exemptions. The Company is a member of the PFI Group
which prepare consolidated, publicly available financial statements. As a result, in accordance with Section 7 of
FRS 102 and paragraph 1.12(b), the Company is exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement
under FRS 102 as the cash flows of the Company are included in the consolidated cash flow statement of the
ultimate parent company, PFI. The Company is exempt from the requirement under paragraph 1.12(e) of FRS
102 from disclosing the key management personnel compensation as required by FRS 102 paragraph 33.7. The
Company is exempt from disclosing other related party transactions as they are with other companies that are
wholly owned within the PFI group.
Significant estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with FRS 102 requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Significant estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Significant estimates made in the preparation of these financial statements are as follows:
• Deferred tax is recognised in line with the accounting policy below. The Company recognises deferred tax
assets based on an assessment of future profitability and an ability to recover these tax assets;
• The expected long term rate of return on pension assets has been estimated based on the expected returns
on risk free investments (primarily government bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated
with the other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns of each
asset class;
• The Company’s pension increase assumptions are linked to RPI and are based on a simple basis to using
the Jarrow-Yildrim stochastic model applied to the respective inflation assumption.
• The Company applies a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics
(e.g. term and similar economic environments) to determine the right-of-use asset and corresponding lease
liability to be recognised in the Statement of Financial Position following the introduction of FRS 102
Section 20.
No significant judgements have been used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Turnover
Under FRS 102 Section 23, these fees were assessed under the five steps to recognising turnover. The Company
meets the performance obligation for these turnover streams over time. Accordingly, the amount of variable
consideration earned under these turnover streams is recognised as turnover to the extent that it is highly
probable that a significant reversal will not occur.
Accounting policy - FRS 102 Section 23
The Company recognises turnover under FRS 102 Section 23, which recognises revenue based on the transfer of
control rather than the transfer of risks and rewards.
Under FRS 102 Section 23 turnover is recognised using a 5 step model approach:
(1) Identify the contract with a customer:
Each turnover stream recognised by the Company is covered by a transfer pricing agreement which details the
enforceable rights and obligations of each party for the provision of services.
(2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract:
In respect of re-charge revenue, revenue is recorded on an incurred basis.
Under FRS 102 Section 23, turnover is recognised based on the satisfaction of performance obligations.
Where it is determined that the performance obligations associated with the Company’s turnover streams are
met over the period of time, revenue is recorded to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal
will not occur.
The transfer pricing agreements include promises to deliver services to the customer and, to the extent that those
promises are distinct, they represent discrete performance obligations which are accounted for separately.
Turnover is recognised when payroll and administrative costs are recharged to affiliated companies, either at
cost or at cost plus 10%, in accordance with the terms of the underlying service agreements.
(3) Determine the transaction price:
The  transfer pricing agreements detail the agreed fees to be paid. The fees may be fixed in price and/or variable.
Where variable, the amount of consideration to which the Company becomes entitled and the related conditions
are detailed in the agreement. Where variable re-charge income is determined by reference to costs incurred, the
costs to be re-charged are determined when incurred. No significant management judgement is required to
determine the transaction price.
The Company has applied the practical expedient in the revised Section 23 of FRS 102 that permits entities not
to adjust the transaction price for the effects of the time value of money when the period between transfer of
goods or services and payment is expected to be 12 months or less. As the Company’s customer contracts
typically involve payment terms of less than 12 months, no significant financing component has been identified
and no discounting of revenue is required.
(4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations:
The transaction price is determined by the transfer pricing agreement. In respect of re-charged costs, the amount
of costs is re-charge to the counterparty with either a percentage margin or no margin, depending on the transfer
pricing agreement. No significant management judgement is required to allocate the transaction price as the
pricing approach is detailed in the agreement.

for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 (continued)
2    Accounting policies (continued)
Although the revised Section 23 introduces a new five step model for revenue recognition, the Company’s
existing revenue policy has historically been aligned with this approach. As a result, applying the amended
standard does not change the timing or measurement of revenue previously recognised. Consequently, neither
full retrospective restatement nor a cumulative catch up adjustment is required on transition.
(5) Recognise turnover when the performance obligation is satisfied:
At regular periods throughout the year, either quarterly or monthly depending on the agreement, the accrued fees
will be adjusted to the actual fee earned during the period at the time the invoice is issued.
Foreign currencies
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the Company operates (‘the functional currency’). These financial statements
are presented in Pounds Sterling which is the Company’s functional currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Company entities at
exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies,
outstanding at the balance sheet date, are translated at the exchange rates ruling at that date.
Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account specifically in
the administrative expenses. However, the foreign exchange differences arising on the movement in fair value
on the investments is recognised in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are
measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the
transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value
are retranslated to the functional currency at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was
determined.
Foreign currency reserve
Unrealised foreign currency gains and (losses) arising on the translation of assets or liabilities denominated in
currencies other than Pounds Sterling are recognised in other comprehensive income and taken to the foreign
currency reserve. Once the gain or (loss) is realised it is taken to the Profit and Loss account.
Foreign Operations
The Company has a Belgian branch and had a Spanish branch which was de-registered on 7 November 2024.

Tax
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss
Account except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised
in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
years.
Deferred tax is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent
that is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax
assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the
related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they
reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and
they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax
entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities
will be realised simultaneously.
The PFI Group applies the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and
liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes, as provided in the amendments to IAS 12 issued in May 2023.
Related parties
The Company discloses transactions with related parties which are not wholly owned within the PFI Group. The
Company does not disclose transactions with its parent or with members of the same group that are wholly
owned as it is taking FRS 102 Section 33 exemption for related party transactions.
Property, plant and equipment
Tangible fixed assets are stated at historic purchase cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the
original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its
intended use.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each
reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if it is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Any impairment loss on an asset carried at depreciated historical cost is recognised in the profit and loss
account.
Depreciation
The rates of depreciation, charged in equal instalments, are as follows:
Asset class
Depreciation method and rate
Office equipment, furniture and fittings
25.00% per annum
Leasehold improvements
Over the term of the lease

2    Accounting policies (continued)
Cash
Cash includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other
resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred
and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses are comprised of costs incurred by the Company. These are recognised on an accruals
basis and in certain cases management uses estimates and assumptions to determine the probable costs that will
be incurred by the Company.
Dividends
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Company’s financial
statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders. Dividends are
recognised in the Statement of Changes in Equity.
Share based payments
The Company participates in the ultimate parent PFI's share-based incentive schemes, for stock options and
restricted stock units. PFI's Omnibus Incentive Plan provides stock‑based awards including stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock shares, restricted stock units, stock‑settled performance shares, and
cash‑settled performance units. The Company recognises an expense based on the fair value of the options
granted. This cost is spread over the three-year vesting period for each grant. These amounts have been included
in employee costs for the period with corresponding amounts included in equity. Disclosures for the scheme
have been provided in note 16 to the financial statements. 
Dividend equivalents are generally provided on restricted stock shares and restricted stock units outstanding as
of the record date. Dividend equivalents are generally accrued on target performance shares and units
outstanding as of the record date. These dividend equivalents are paid only on the performance shares and units
released up to a maximum of the target number of shares and units awarded. Generally, the requisite service
period is the vesting period.
At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest. It
recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the Income Statement, with a corresponding
adjustment to equity.
Pension costs
The Company has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension
plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Company has no legal or
constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all
employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. A defined benefit plan is a
pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan and where a constructive obligation does exist for the
Company to pay further contributions if the fund does not have sufficient assets.
The cost of a defined contribution scheme is equal to the contributions paid into the scheme for the period.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 (continued)
2    Accounting policies (continued)
Upon the sale of Bache Commodities Limited (‘BCL’) in April 2011, the Company assumed responsibility for a
defined benefit scheme based in the UK. The assets of that scheme are measured at their market value at the
balance sheet date. The liabilities are measured using the projected unit method with a discount rate equal to the
rate of return on an AA corporate bond of equivalent term and currency. The extent to which the scheme’s assets
exceed its liabilities is shown as a surplus in the balance sheet, if the Directors consider that a surplus is
recoverable by the Company. The extent to which the scheme’s assets fall short of its liabilities is shown as a
deficit in the balance sheet, net of the related deferred tax asset, to the extent that a deficit represents an
obligation of the Company.
Where applicable, the following amounts are charged to operating profit in the period:
(i) the increase in the present value of scheme liabilities arising from employee service in the period;
(ii) gains and losses arising on settlements/curtailments in the period; and
(iii) a credit representing the expected return on the scheme’s assets and a charge relating to the increase in the
present value of the scheme’s liabilities are included in administrative expenses.
In addition, any increase in the present value of scheme liabilities resulting from benefit improvements is
recognised over the period during which such improvements vest. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in
the change in benefit obligation.
Additional details of the Company’s pension arrangements have been provided in Note 8.
Trade and other receivables
A regular review is performed on all the Company’s trade and other receivables. If there is significant
uncertainty regarding the recoverability of any of its trade and other receivables, a provision is recognised. If
there is strong evidence indicating the amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet will not be recovered, they will
be written off.
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost
less provision for impairments.
For trade receivables, the company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires
expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
Interest income is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in finance income.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables, including accrued expenses and other creditors qualifying as financial instruments, are
recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Leases
In August 2025, PGIM Financial Limited novated sixth floor of Grand Buildings, 1-3 Strand, Trafalgar Square,
London WC2N 6AF to the Company.
For leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17, these lease liabilities were measured at the present value
of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 January 2019.
In applying FRS 102 Section 20, the Company has used the following practical expedients permitted by the
standard:
• Applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
• Accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as short-term leases.
• Using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extent or terminate the
lease.
• Leases with an annual value of less than £5,000 were recognised in the Income Statement.
Measurement of right-of-use assets:
Right-of-use assets were measured at cost comprising the following:
• The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability, and
• Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.
Right-of-use assets are subject to depreciation through the profit and loss, with the estimated useful economic
life calculated as the term of the lease.
Measurement of lease liabilities:
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate. The Company measures the sixth floor lease liability at the present value of the
remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of 1.25% at the date of
commencement.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily
determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Company, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate
(‘IBR’) is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of
similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and
conditions. The IBR is composed of two components, the spread rate and the country risk free rate (the country
specific bond rate). Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is
charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability for each period.
The Company's activities associated with short-term leases and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a
straight-line basis as an expense in the Income Statement.

New standards, interpretations and amendments effective
During the year, the following amendments to accounting standards came into effect:
• Section 7: Statement of Cash Flows of FRS 102: disclosures about supplier finance arrangements.
• The Directors consider that this new standard will not have a material effect on the financial statements.
Upcoming new standards, interpretations and amendments
The following standards comes into effect on 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted.
The upcoming amendments expected to have significant impact on the financial statements are:
• Revised revenue accounting requirements in FRS 102, based on the IFRS 15 five-step model for
revenue recognition, with appropriate simplifications
• Revised lease accounting requirements in FRS 102 based on the IFRS 16 'on-balance sheet' model,
again with appropriate simplifications.
Other amendments to FRS 102 include:
• A new Section 2A Fair Value Measurement;
• Removal of the option to newly adopt the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 39
Financial Instruments;
• Additional guidance on the distinction between contingent consideration and remuneration for ongoing
services in a business combination;
• New disclosures requirement for supplier finance arrangements.
The Directors have decided to adopt all of the amendments from the Periodic Review 2024, however only the
revised revenue and lease accounting requirements for the year ended 31 December 2025 are considered to have
a material impact on the financials.

8    Pension and other schemes
The Company operates pension schemes in the United Kingdom for the benefit of its employees. Details of these
schemes are provided below.
UK pension schemes - Defined benefit plan
The principal employer as of 31 December 2025 is PGIM European Services Limited.
The Plan’s assets are legally separated from the Company’s assets and do not form part of these financial
statements. The actuarial valuation at 31 December 2025 for the Plan showed surplus of £62.7 million  (2024:
£59.0 million). The accounting valuations for the defined benefit pension plan have been performed by Mercer, an
independent actuary. The most recent triennial valuation (funding valuation) was performed as at 5 April 2024.
Since it is in surplus and the Company does not view this surplus as recoverable, in accordance with Section 28 of
FRS 102, there is also no pension asset recognised in the Balance Sheet.
The defined benefit plan is closed to all new members. As such the defined benefit section of the pension plan is
closed to future accruals.
PGIM European Services Limited did not make any contribution to the pension scheme during 2025 (2024: £nil).
The scheme is in a fully funded surplus position and there are no expected future contributions for 2026.
In June 2023, a High Court decision in the case of Virgin Media Limited vs NTL Pension Trustees II Limited held
that certain rule amendments made to defined benefit (DB) pension schemes that were contracted-out between 6
April 1997 and 5 April 2016 were not valid if these had not been certified by an actuary. This decision was
appealed and upheld by the Court of Appeal in July 2024. On 5 June 2025 the government announced a plan to
introduce legislation to allow schemes to retrospectively obtain written actuarial confirmation of these historic
benefit changes meeting the necessary standards. We have no reason to believe such confirmations could not be
obtained should they be required and hence do not expect any additional liability to arise. On 29 April 2026, the
Act received Royal Assent, actuarial confirmation can be obtained retrospectively.
UK pension schemes- Defined contribution plan
The defined contribution plan is operated for all eligible employees of subsidiaries of PFI. operating in the United
Kingdom, who entered service on or after 1 April 2002. Company contributions to this scheme are based on the
age of the member on joining or on renewal at 1 April each year.

To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered the current level
of expected returns on risk free investments (primarily government bonds), the historical level of the risk premium
associated with the other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns of
each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the actual asset allocation to
develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the portfolio which resulted in the selection
of a rate of return assumption of 2.10% (2024: 2.00%).

OECD Pillar Two
The Group of which the Company is a member is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules. The
Company is in a Jurisdiction that has adopted a Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (QDMTT) and an
Income Inclusion Rule (IIR) effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2024. In addition, for the under
taxed profits rule (UTPR) the commencement date will be on or after the 31 December 2024.
The Group does not expect to have an OECD Pillar Two related current tax exposure in the jurisdiction from the
application of the QDMTT and IRR, while there could be open items with respect to the possible application of
the proposed Pillar Two rules which will determine how and to what degree the Company will be impacted by
the adopted Pillar 2.
The Group applies the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and
liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes, as provided in the amendments to IAS 12 issued in May 2023.

Measurement of lease liability
The lease liability includes the net present value of the following lease payments:
• fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
• variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the
commencement date.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the
liability.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily
determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Company, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used,
being the rate that the lessee would have to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the
right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. The weighted
average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities recognised in respect of the lease was 1.25%.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over
the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each
period. The Company's activities associated with short-term leases and all leases of low-value assets are recognised
on a straight-line basis as an expense in the Income Statement.
Lease liabilities are classified between current and non-current liabilities, representing amount due within and after
12 months respectively.
In August 2025, PGIM Financial Limited novated sixth floor of Grand Buildings, 1-3 Strand, Trafalgar Square,
London WC2N 6AF to the Company. The lease was entered into in 2021 for a six year lease that could be
terminated by the Company on the break date of 25 August 2022 by giving at least nine months of prior written
notice, which was not exercised by the Company. The Company measures the sixth floor lease liability at the present
value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of 1.25% at the
date of commencement.

16    Employee benefits
Share based payments
The Company’s equity settled share based payment plan consists entirely of Prudential Financial Inc’s Omnibus
Incentive Plan (‘Omnibus Plan’) which was adopted by the Board of Directors of Prudential Financial, Inc in
March 2003, and subsequently amended and restated in November 2008. Under the Omnibus Plan, eligible
employees may be awarded a combination of restricted stock units and stock options which vest over a 3-year
period and are exercisable over a 10-year period. The Company is unable to directly measure the fair value of
employee services received. Instead, as PFI's share is publicly listed, the fair value of RSU and performance
shares granted during the year is determined using the closing share price of PFI as at grant date.
Stock options
There were no options outstanding for the Company at 31 December 2025 (2024: £nil). The Company recorded
£nil (2024: £nil) in share based compensation related to stock options during the year ended 31 December 2025.
The number of options that are eligible for exercise at 31 December 2025 is £nil (2024: £nil).
The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended 31 December 2025
and 2024 were £nil and £nil, respectively. The options are valued using a binomial option pricing model on the
date of grant. The weighted average grant date assumptions used in the binomial option valuation model are
detailed in the table below, components of which take into consideration the worldwide workforce of PFI.
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of PFI’s Common Stock and implied volatilities from
traded options on PFI’s Common Stock. Historical data and expectations of future exercise patterns to estimate
option exercises and employee terminations are used within the valuation model. The expected dividend yield is
based on the current expected annual dividend and share price on the grant date. The expected term of options
granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for
periods within the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant.
Restricted stock units
A restricted stock unit is an unfunded, unsecured right to receive a share of Common Stock at the end of a
specified period of time, which is also subject to forfeiture and transfer restrictions. The restrictions on restricted
stock units will lapse on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The number of units is determined over the
performance period, and may be adjusted based on the satisfaction of certain performance goals.
The following table summarises restricted stock award activity for the year ended 31 December 2025:

Performance awards
A performance award is similar to a restricted stock unit, an unfunded, unsecured right to receive a share of
Common Stock at the end of a specified period of time, which is also subject to forfeiture and transfer
restrictions. The restrictions on restricted stock units will lapse on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The
number of units is determined over the performance period, and may be adjusted based on the satisfaction of
certain performance goals.
