PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements These items are important to an understanding of overall results of operations.
Adjusted operating income is not a substitute for income determined in accordance with U. S.  GAAP, and the Company’s definition of adjusted operating income may differ from that used by other companies.
However, the Company believes that the presentation of adjusted operating income as measured for management purposes enhances the understanding of results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors of its businesses.
As discussed in Note 1, during 2016, the Company recorded certain out of period adjustments.
These adjustments resulted in a decrease in pre-tax adjusted operating income of $114 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, principally consisting of a net decrease of $153 million for the Individual Life Insurance segment.
Management evaluated the adjustments, both individually and in the aggregate, and concluded that they were not material to any previously reported quarterly or annual financial statements.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 (see Note 2), changes in the fair value of equity securities are included in net income, but are excluded from adjusted operating income.
These changes in fair value are classified as related adjustments within “Realized investment gains (losses), net, and related adjustments” reconciling item in the tables below.
Realized investment gains (losses), net, and related charges and adjustments Realized investment gains (losses), net Adjusted operating income excludes “Realized investment gains (losses), net,” except for certain items described below.
Significant activity excluded from adjusted operating income includes impairments and credit-related gains (losses) from sales of securities, the timing of which depends largely on market credit cycles and can vary considerably across periods, and interest rate-related gains (losses) from sales of securities, which are largely subject to the Company’s discretion and influenced by market opportunities, as well as the Company’s tax and capital profile.
Additionally, adjusted operating income generally excludes realized investment gains (losses) from products that contain embedded derivatives, and from associated derivative portfolios that are part of an asset/liability management program related to the risk of those products.
However, the effectiveness of the hedging program will ultimately be reflected in adjusted operating income over time.
Trends in the underlying profitability of the Company’s businesses can be more clearly identified without the fluctuating effects of these transactions.
The following table sets forth the significant components of “Realized investment gains (losses), net” that are included in adjusted operating income and, as a result, are reflected as adjustments to “Realized investment gains (losses), net” for purposes of calculating adjusted operating income:
## Table 0 ##
(1) In addition to the items in the table above, “Realized investment gains (losses), net, and related charges and adjustments” also includes an adjustment to reflect “Realized investment gains (losses), net” related to divested and run-off businesses.
See “Divested and Run-off businesses” discussed below.
Terminated Hedges of Foreign Currency Earnings.
The amounts shown in the table above primarily reflect the impact of an intercompany arrangement between Corporate and Other operations and the International Insurance segment, pursuant to which the non-U.
S.  dollar-denominated earnings in all countries for a particular year, including its interim reporting periods, are translated at fixed currency exchange rates.
The fixed rates are determined in connection with a currency hedging program designed to mitigate the risk that unfavorable rate changes will reduce the segment’s U. S.  dollar-equivalent earnings.
Pursuant to this program, the Company’s Corporate and Other operations may execute forward currency contracts with third-parties to sell the net exposure of projected earnings from the hedged currency in exchange for U. S.  dollars at a specified exchange rate.
The maturities of these contracts correspond with the future periods in which the identified non-U.
S.  dollar-denominated earnings are expected to be generated.
These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting under U. S.  GAAP, so the resulting profits or losses are recorded in “Realized investment gains (losses), net.
” When the contracts are terminated in the same period that the expected earnings emerge, the resulting positive or negative cash flow effect is included in adjusted operating income.
Current Period Yield Adjustments.
The Company uses interest rate and currency swaps and other derivatives to manage interest and currency exchange rate exposures arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities, including duration mismatches.
For derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the periodic swap settlements, as well as certain other derivative related yield adjustments are recorded in “Realized investment gains (losses), net,” and are included in adjusted operating income to reflect the afterhedge yield of the underlying instruments.
In certain instances, when these derivative contracts are terminated or offset before their final maturity, the resulting realized gains or losses are recognized in adjusted operating income over periods that generally approximate the expected terms of the derivatives or underlying instruments in order for adjusted operating income to reflect the after-hedge yield of the
