Business growth – During the second quarter of 2025, almost all business units recorded good sales $^2$ growth compared to the same period last year. Sales growth was particularly high for Individual Insurance in both Canada and the U.S., as well as in Dealer Services in Canada, iA Auto and Home and segregated funds. In Canada, Individual Insurance sales were strong at $103 million, and the Company maintained a leading position for the number of policies sold. $^3$ In the Wealth Management segment, the Company continued to rank first for both gross and net segregated fund sales, $^4$ with net inflows totalling $670 million. Sales results in both US Operations units were solid. Good sales contributed to the 4% increase in net premiums, $^5$ premium equivalents and deposits, $^5$ totalling nearly $5.1 billion, compared to the same period last year. Also, total assets under management $^6$ and total assets under administration $^6$ amounted to approximately $274 billion, an increase of 16% over the last 12 months.
Financial position – The Company's solvency ratio $^7$ was $138\%$ at June 30, 2025, compared with $132\%$ at the end of the previous quarter and $141\%$ a year earlier. This result is well above the regulatory minimum ratio of $90\%$ . The six-percentage-point increase during the quarter was mainly driven by the favourable impact of organic capital generation $^2$ and the preferred share issuance completed on June 23, 2025, as outlined below in this section. The Company's financial leverage ratio $^{11}$ of $16.9\%$ at June 30, 2025 compares to $14.8\%$ at the end of the previous quarter.

Unsolicited mini-tender offer – On May 7, 2025, iA Financial Group issued a press release warning about an unsolicited mini-tender offer made by Ocehan LLC to purchase up to 50,000 of its common shares at a price of $93.30 per share, which represented a discount of approximately 29.84% to the closing price of iA Financial Group’s common shares on the TSX as of May 6, 2025. The press release noted, among other things, that iA Financial Group was not associated with Ocehan LLC and did not recommend or endorse acceptance of this restricted tender offer in any way. For additional information, please refer to the press release, which can be found on our website at ia.ca.
Philanthropy – iA Financial Group donated $50,000 in June to the Canadian Red Cross in support of the 2025 Manitoba Wildfires Appeal. This contribution aims to provide immediate and ongoing relief to those affected, including financial assistance, support for evacuees and risk reduction for future all-hazard disaster events in these regions.
Subsequent to the second quarter:
-
Acquisition of RF Capital Group Inc. – On July 28, 2025, iA Financial Group announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with RF Capital Group Inc. (RF Capital), pursuant to which iA Financial Group will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of RF Capital for $20.00 per share in cash, for a total purchase price of $597 million. Upon completion, this acquisition is expected to add over $40 billion in assets under administration and significantly expand iA’s presence in the high-net-worth segment. RF Capital advisors will continue operating independently under the Richardson Wealth brand,¹² supported by iA Financial Group’s financial strength and digital platforms. As at June 30, 2025, on a pro forma basis taking into account this acquisition, the solvency ratio is estimated at 132%, the capital available for deployment is estimated at $900 million and the financial leverage ratio is estimated to remain the same.
-
AMF Capital Adequacy Requirements Guideline – A revised Capital Adequacy Requirements for Life and Health Insurance (CARLI) Guideline became effective on January 1, 2025. The new CARLI guideline includes, among other things, revisions related to the regulatory capital requirements for segregated fund guarantees. As allowed by the AMF for insurers, the Company applied the previous version of the guideline during the first half of 2025. As of July 1, 2025, the revised guideline allows for the explicit recognition of the CSM related to segregated funds, the impact of which is expected to be slightly positive on the capital available for deployment and increase the solvency ratio sensitivity to public market variations, while remaining within our risk tolerance.
-
Philanthropy – iA Financial Group and its U.S. subsidiaries donated $75,000 to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country to support those affected by flash flooding in Texas. The funds will provide immediate and ongoing relief, including financial aid and support for evacuees and the communities hosting them.

INSURANCE, CANADA
Individual Insurance – Second quarter sales totalled $103 million, a 5% increase over a strong quarter a year earlier. This very good result reflects the strength of all our distribution networks, the excellent performance of our digital tools, as well as our comprehensive and distinctive range of products. Sales were notably strong for participating insurance. The Company maintained its leading position in the Canadian market for the number of policies issued.²
Group Insurance – Second quarter sales in Employee Plans totalled $8 million compared to $25 million in the same quarter last year. This result is largely attributed to a lower volume of quoting activities in the prior months. Note that sales in this business unit vary considerably from one quarter to another based on the size of the contracts sold. On a year-to-date basis, Employee Plans sales were 42% higher than last year. Net premiums, premium equivalents and deposits increased by 9% year over year, benefiting from premium increases on renewals. Special Markets sales reached $99 million, a result similar to the previous year.
Dealer Services – Total sales ended the second quarter at $225 million, 16% higher than the same period in 2024. This growth was supported by P&C Insurance sales growth of 26% year over year, notably from the addition of sales from the acquisition of the Global Warranty business completed in the first quarter.
General Insurance (iA Auto and Home) – Direct written premiums reached $206 million in the second quarter, a strong increase of 10% compared to the same period last year. This good business growth is the result of an increased number of policies as well as recent price adjustments.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Individual Wealth Management – Sales of segregated funds were strong during the second quarter, with gross sales totalling $1.4 billion, an 8% year-over-year increase, and net sales of $670 million. The Company continued to rank first in Canada in gross and net segregated fund sales.³ This robust performance was notably driven by the strength of our distribution networks and our competitive and comprehensive product lineup. Additionally, clients continued to favour asset classes with higher return potential over guaranteed investments. In this context, sales of other savings products reached $428 million in the second quarter, compared to a strong quarter of $541 million a year earlier. Gross sales of mutual funds totalled $442 million for the quarter, compared to $468 million in the same quarter last year. Net outflows of $165 million were recorded, compared to outflows of $194 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Group Savings and Retirement – Sales for the second quarter totalled $821 million and were 4% lower than a year earlier, as growth in accumulation product sales was offset by the decrease in insured annuities sales. Total assets under management at the end of the quarter were 18% higher than a year earlier.
US OPERATIONS
Individual Insurance – Quarterly sales reached a record US$78 million, 59% higher than a year earlier. This solid result is driven by good growth in the final expense and middle/family markets and the addition of sales from the Vericity acquisition. These results underscore our potential for strong growth in the U.S. life insurance market, both organically and through acquisitions.
Dealer Services – Second quarter sales of US$296 million were up 6% over the same period last year. This good result reflects the quality of our products and services as well as the effectiveness and diversity of our distribution channels.

| Core earnings† | 327 | 267 | 22% | 600 | 510 | 18% |
Core earnings† of $327 million in the second quarter are derived from net income attributed to common shareholders of $321 million and a total adjustment of $6 million (post tax) from:
- the market-related impacts that differ from management’s expectations, totalling a net loss of $1 million. This adjustment is explained by the favourable impacts from equity variations of $74 million, primarily from the good performance of public equity. However, these gains were more than offset by the sum of the unfavourable impacts of interest rate and credit spread variations of $45 million, CIF adjustments of $5 million, and $25 million from investment properties, mostly driven by unfavourable market value adjustments;
- the net favourable impact of assumption changes and management actions of $22 million as a net result of the following items: 1) a favourable adjustment of $30 million to Vericity’s deferred tax assets related to tax losses incurred prior to the acquisition, 2) assumption changes and management actions in the Insurance, Canada segment that resulted in a net gain of $6 million, and 3) a management action related to the pension plan, which unfavourably impacted the Corporate segment by $14 million (refer to the “Corporate” subsection below for more details);
- a total charge of $3 million mainly related to the integration of Vericity and Global Warranty;
- expenses associated with acquisition-related intangible assets of $20 million; and
- the impact of non-core pension expenses of $4 million.
¹ Impact of the tax-exempt investment income (above or below expected long-term tax impacts) from the Company’s multinational insurer status.

Results for the second quarter of 2025
- Net income attributed to common shareholders for the Insurance, Canada segment was $130 million, which is higher than $97 million for the same period in 2024. Net income attributed to common shareholders is composed of core earnings† as well as core earnings adjustments.
- Core earnings adjustments to net income totalled $3 million. These include acquisition-related items ($5 million), impact of non-core pension expenses ($3 million) and a reallocation for reporting consistency, which sums to zero on a consolidated basis ($1 million). These items were partly offset by a gain resulting from assumption changes and management actions ($6 million).
- Core earnings† for this business segment were $133 million, higher than $106 million for the same period in 2024. This 25% increase in core earnings† over the same period in 2024 is the net result of several items. Expected insurance earnings‡ were 8% higher, mainly reflecting an increase in expected earnings on Premium Allocation Approach (PAA)§ business from iA Auto and Home and an increase in the combined risk adjustment (RA) release§ and CSM recognized for services provided.2 Additionally, core insurance experience gains§ of $31 million were recorded during the quarter, mainly due to favourable morbidity experience in Employee Plans, favourable mortality experience in Individual Insurance and lower claims at iA Auto and Home. Core non-insurance activities2 were also higher than the same period a year earlier, mainly driven by good earnings growth from Dealer Services. In addition, lower core other expenses2 were recorded for the quarter. Lastly, these favourable items were partially offset by the impact of new insurance business2 from Employee Plans due to higher confirmed sales compared to a year ago.
Results for the first six months of 2025
- Net income attributed to common shareholders was $217 million in 2025 compared with $180 million in 2024. Net income attributed to common shareholders is composed of core earnings† as well as core earnings adjustments.
- Core earnings adjustments to net income totalled $16 million from the aforementioned assumption changes and management actions that resulted in a gain ($6 million), acquisition-related items ($10 million), impact of non-core pension expenses ($6 million) and other specified adjustments ($6 million), primarily tax-related items and reallocations for reporting consistency, which mostly sum to zero on a consolidated basis.
- Core earnings† were $233 million in 2025, which is 18% higher than $198 million in 2024. The increase is mainly due to higher expected insurance earnings, higher core non-insurance activities, core insurance experience gains and lower core other expenses.

- Core earnings† for this business segment were $113 million for the second quarter compared with $98 million a year ago.

Results for the second quarter of 2025
- Net income attributed to common shareholders for the US Operations segment was $55 million, which is higher than $8 million for the same period in 2024. Net income attributed to common shareholders is composed of core earnings† as well as core earnings adjustments.
- Core earnings adjustments to net income totalled a net gain of $19 million from a favourable adjustment to Vericity's deferred tax assets related to tax losses incurred prior to the acquisition ($30 million), partly offset by acquisition-related items ($10 million) and a small unfavourable tax-related item dating back prior to 2025 ($1 million).
-
Core earnings† for this business segment were $36 million, compared to $22 million for the same period in 2024. The 64% increase in core earnings† over the same period in 2024 is driven by the following:
-
A strong $28 million³ increase in the core insurance service result,⁴ which is the result of an increase in the combined RA release and CSM recognized for service provided, mainly due to the addition of Vericity and Prosperity; the lower impact of new insurance business; and core insurance experience gains of $6 million from favourable mortality experience in Individual Insurance;
- A $1 million³ increase in core non-insurance activities, driven by higher earnings from Dealer Services; and
- An increase in core other expenses, as expected following the addition of Vericity expenses.
Note that the impact of the Vericity and Prosperity acquisitions for the second quarter is slightly positive on core earnings† and in line with expectations set at the time of their acquisition.
Results for the first six months of 2025
- Net income attributed to common shareholders was $74 million in 2025, which is higher than $20 million in 2024. Net income attributed to common shareholders is composed of core earnings† as well as core earnings adjustments.
- Core earnings adjustments to net income totalled a net gain of $8 million arising from the favourable impact during the second quarter of the tax adjustment mentioned above ($30 million), partially offset by acquisition-related items ($19 million).
- Core earnings† were $66 million in 2025 compared with $41 million in 2024. The 61% increase in core earnings† is mainly the result of an increase in the core insurance service result and core non-insurance activities, partially offset by higher core other expenses, notably due to the addition of Vericity expenses.

Results for the second quarter of 2025
- The net loss attributed to common shareholders for the Corporate segment was $72 million compared to $53 million for the same period in 2024. The net loss attributed to common shareholders is composed of core losses† as well as core loss adjustments.
- Core loss adjustments to net loss for this business segment totalled $15 million. These include integration charges related to the acquisitions of Vericity and Global Warranty ($1 million) and a charge related to the pension plan ($14 million). The latter was the result of a management action to allocate a portion of the pension plan surplus in the form of a one-time increase in benefits to current retirees and a temporary reduction in contributions for active members. This initiative stems from the favourable surplus position of our pension plan. The one-time increase in benefits to current retirees had an impact of $14 million on second quarter earnings, while the charge resulting from the temporary reduction in contributions had no impact on second quarter earnings and is expected to have an impact of about $4 million in each of the next four quarters.
- This segment recorded core losses† from after-tax expenses of $57 million, which compares with $50 million in the second quarter of 2024. Before taxes, Corporate core other expenses were $79 million. This amount is composed of $68 million in core other expenses before taxes, which reflects ongoing strong emphasis on operational efficiency leading to positive operating leverage, and a higher provision of $11 million before taxes for variable compensation related to the Company's performance since the beginning of 2025.
Results for the first six months of 2025
- The net loss attributed to common shareholders for the Corporate segment was $122 million compared to $103 million for the same period in 2024. The net loss attributed to common shareholders is composed of core losses† as well as core earnings adjustments.

This result is derived from core other expenses of $144 million before taxes and includes a higher provision of $11 million before taxes for variable compensation as mentioned above.

- Income tax expense amounted to $43 million compared to $52 million for the same period of 2024. This result comprises the tax charge included in core earnings† as well as core tax adjustments.
- Core tax adjustments totalled $30 million in the second quarter, mostly due to a favourable adjustment to Vericity's deferred tax assets related to tax losses incurred prior to the acquisition in the US Operations segment.
- Core income taxes‡ in the second quarter were $86 million, reflecting a core effective tax rate†† (ETR) of 20.5%. The core ETR†† was driven upwards by the impact of experience gains taxed at a higher marginal rate and by a charge related to tax filing adjustments (true-up) for the previous year recognized annually in June. This increase in ETR was offset by the favourable impact of a larger portion of tax-exempt investment income.
Results for the first six months of 2025
- Income tax expense amounted to $89 million compared to $123 million for the same period of 2024.
- Core tax adjustments totalled $29 million, mostly from the favourable adjustment during the second quarter as mentioned above.
- Core income taxes in the first six months were $168 million, for a core effective tax rate†† of 21.5%.
Distributions on other equity instruments and dividends on preferred shares
This item represents the after-tax dividends on preferred shares and distributions on other equity instruments, which amounted to $6 million in the second quarter and $15 million for the year to date.

INSURANCE SERVICE RESULT
INSURANCE, CANADA
For the second quarter of 2025, the insurance service result in the Insurance, Canada segment totalled $177 million, representing an increase of $27 million compared to the same period in 2024.
The segment's insurance revenue amounted to $1,077 million in the second quarter of 2025, up 10% from $976 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily driven by Individual Insurance, iA Auto and Home, P&C insurance in Dealer Services, and Group Insurance: Employee Plans, resulting in higher revenue recognized to cover expected claims and other insurance service expenses, as well as higher recovery of insurance acquisition cash flows. The increase is also explained by the pricing adjustment at iA Auto and Home in 2024.
The segment's insurance service expenses and net expenses from reinsurance contracts totalled $900 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $826 million in the same quarter last year, a 9% increase. This change was mostly due to the impact of higher incurred claims and higher amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows, in line with business growth, primarily in Individual Insurance, iA Auto and Home, and P&C Insurance in Dealer Services. This impact was partially offset by greater recoveries related to death claims in Individual Insurance and fewer morbidity claims in Group Insurance: Employee Plans compared to the same period in 2024.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the insurance service result for the Insurance, Canada segment was $313 million, representing an increase of $29 million or 10% compared to the same period in 2024. The increase is attributable to the segment's business growth over the years, which has led to a higher insurance service result.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
For the second quarter of 2025, the insurance service result in the Wealth Management segment totalled $105 million, representing an increase of $19 million or 22% compared to the same period in 2024.
The segment's insurance revenue amounted to $321 million in the second quarter of 2025, up 17% from $274 million in the same quarter last year. This increase was primarily driven by higher sales of segregated funds in Individual Wealth Management and

favourable financial market performance, resulting in a higher contractual service margin recognized for services provided during the period, higher recovery of insurance acquisition cash flows, as well as higher revenue recognized to cover trailer fees.
The segment's insurance service expenses and net expenses from reinsurance contracts totalled $216 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $188 million in the same quarter last year, a 15% increase. This change was mainly due to higher trailer fees from the increased sale of segregated funds and higher amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows in Individual Wealth Management.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the insurance service result for the Wealth Management segment was $201 million, representing an increase of $33 million or 20% compared to the same period in 2024. As with the quarterly results, the increase is mainly explained by the higher segregated fund sales in Individual Wealth Management and favourable financial market performance.
US OPERATIONS
For the second quarter of 2025, the insurance service result in the US Operations segment totalled $58 million, representing an increase of $27 million or 87% compared to the same period in 2024.
The segment's insurance revenue amounted to $483 million in the second quarter of 2025, up 23% from $394 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily driven by the contributions from Individual Insurance as well as additions from the acquisitions of Vericity and the two blocks of business from Prosperity Life Group. This resulted in higher revenue recognized to cover expected claims and other insurance service expenses, higher recovery of insurance acquisition cash flows, a higher risk adjustment release, and a higher contractual service margin recognized for services provided during the period.
The segment's insurance service expenses and net expenses from reinsurance contracts totalled $425 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $363 million in the same period of 2024, a 17% increase. This change was primarily a result of Individual Insurance as well as the additions from the acquisitions of Vericity and the two blocks of business from Prosperity Life Group. This resulted in higher incurred claims and higher amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows. The change was also partly due to increased net expenses related to Vericity's reinsurance contracts.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the insurance service result for the US Operations segment was $107 million, representing an increase of $43 million or 67% compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisitions of Vericity and Prosperity Life Group in Individual Insurance, in combination with the segment's business growth.
NET INVESTMENT RESULT
Net investment income amounted to a loss of $105 million in the second quarter of 2025, representing a $330 million decrease compared to the same period in 2024. The change was mainly driven by the unfavourable impact of increasing interest rates on the fair value of fixed income assets, compared to the impact of steepening interest rate curves in 2024. This was partially offset by the favourable performance of financial markets, which resulted in better returns on equity investments.
Finance income from insurance and reinsurance contracts and change in investment contracts and interest on deposits amounted to $294 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to an $83 million expense in 2024. This $377 million increase was driven by the impact of increasing interest rates during the quarter, compared to the impact of steepening interest rates curves in 2024, both of which are important factors in determining the finance expenses of the insurance contract liabilities.
As a result, for the second quarter of 2025, the net investment result totalled $189 million compared to $142 million for the same period in 2024, representing a $47 million or 33% increase.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the net investment result totalled $295 million compared to $338 million for the same period in 2024. This $43 million change was primarily driven by weaker market performance in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the first quarter of 2024.
OTHER REVENUES
Other revenues include fees earned from the management of the Company's mutual fund assets and the Company's segregated fund assets relating to investment contracts, as well as commissions from intermediary activities, administration income and administrative services only income. For the second quarter of 2025, other revenues totalled $486 million compared to $432 million in the same quarter last year. The increase of $54 million mainly came from the Wealth Management segment, with an increase of $33 million. This was due to higher commission from distribution affiliates and higher management fee revenues from Group Savings and Retirement, which is the result of increased assets under administration and assets under management, driven

Second quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 20
favourably by positive market performance in 2024. The increase is also explained by the revenues in the US Operations segment from the distribution operations of the Vericity acquisition as well as higher revenue for Dealer Services in the Insurance, Canada segment, including the contributions from the Global Warranty acquisition.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, other revenues were $973 million, representing an increase of $137 million compared to the same period in 2024. This growth is primarily driven by favourable market performance, which resulted in higher commission from distribution affiliates and higher management fee revenues from Group Savings and Retirement.
OTHER EXPENSES
For the second quarter of 2025, other expenses totalled $645 million compared to $575 million in the same quarter last year. The variation of $70 million is explained by increased commission expenses in the Wealth Management segment in line with revenue growth, and by the additions in the US Operations segment from the acquisition of Vericity. The variation is also explained by a one-time charge resulting from management's decision to distribute a portion of the pension plan surplus in the form of an increase in benefits to current retirees, and by higher compensation based on the Company's performance in the Corporate segment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, other expenses were $1,278 million, representing an increase of $159 million compared to the same period in 2024. Similar to the current quarter, the variation is primarily explained by increased commission expenses in the Wealth Management segment in line with revenue growth. The distribution operations of the Vericity acquisition also contributed to the year-to-date increase in other expenses in the US Operations segment. Other reasons for the variation include a one-time charge resulting from management's decision to distribute a portion of the pension plan surplus, as well as higher compensation based on the Company's performance in the Corporate segment.
INCOME TAX (EXPENSE) RECOVERY
For the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $43 million compared to $52 million in the same quarter last year. The variation is explained by the recognition of unrecognized tax losses, along with increased savings from tax-exempt investment income. These positive tax effects were partially offset by higher tax expenses resulting from stronger income and unfavourable prior-year adjustments.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $89 million compared to $123 million in the same period last year. The variation is explained by the recognition of unrecognized tax losses, along with increased savings from tax-exempt investment income. These positive tax effects were partially offset by unfavourable prior-year adjustments and higher tax expenses resulting from stronger income.
NET INCOME ATTRIBUTED TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS
Net income attributed to common shareholders totalled $321 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $206 million for the same period in 2024. The change is primarily a result of:
- sustained business growth across Insurance, Canada, Wealth Management and US Operations, which had a favourable impact on the insurance service result and other revenues;
- better market performance compared to the second quarter of 2024, which had a positive impact on the performance of equity investments; and
- factors having an impact on other expenses as described above.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income attributed to common shareholders totalled $507 million, up $68 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by sustained growth in the insurance service result across all segments and commission revenue growth in the Wealth Management segment. This was partially offset by the impact of weaker market performance on equity investments and factors having an impact on other expenses during the period.
The breakdown of net income attributed to common shareholders by segment is presented and discussed in the "Analysis of Earnings by Business Segment" section.

| Diluted | 3.43 | 1.98 | 2.33 | 2.99 | 2.12 | 2.34 | 2.46 | 0.54 |
The analysis below presents the main trends and factors that have caused variations in the results over the quarters.
Quarterly insurance revenue has increased steadily over the last eight quarters due to favourable market performance and the Company's organic growth, which has been particularly notable in the Individual Insurance and Wealth Management business units. The acquisition of Vericity and the two blocks of business from Prosperity Group in the US Operations segment have also contributed to this growth since their acquisition at the end of the second quarter 2024. Overall, the increase in insurance revenue reflects the Company's strength and performance year over year.
Net investment income is mostly influenced by changes in the interest rate curve and corporate credit spreads. In 2023, lower inflation in Canada prompted expectations of a Bank of Canada rate cut. This led to decreased interest rates, boosting bond returns and equity market performance. In 2024, the Bank of Canada lowered rates, affecting both short-term and long-term rates. Although higher long-term rates impacted bond values, macroeconomic factors in Canada drove robust equity and bond returns, supported by reduced credit spreads and real estate recovery. The first half of 2025 saw a steepening of the interest rate curves, which led to lower returns on bonds.
Other revenues remained stable for the second half of 2023, increased steadily throughout 2024 and early 2025, and stabilized in the second quarter of 2025. This growth is attributed to favourable market performance, recruitment efforts and business acquisitions, which led to higher commissions from distribution affiliates, higher management fee revenues in the Wealth Management segment and higher revenues from distribution operations in the US Operations segment. The stability in the second quarter of 2025 is attributed to unfavourable global macroeconomic factors in March and April of 2025, which led to a temporary decrease in the fair value of assets under administration and caused average assets under administration to be lower than the first quarter of 2025.
Net income attributed to common shareholders fluctuated from quarter to quarter primarily due to market-related impacts in the Investment segment. These include the impact of financial market performance on equity investments and the impact of interest rate fluctuations and interest rate curves on fixed income and derivative financial instruments. For the third quarter of 2023, the variations were mainly attributable to unfavourable macroeconomic variations, including value adjustments to investment properties.

E. CSM Movement Analysis
The contractual service margin, or CSM, is an accounting metric that gives an indication of future profits and that is factored as available capital in the calculation of the solvency ratio.³ However, this metric is not comprehensive as it does not consider required capital, non-insurance business, PAA² insurance business or the risk adjustment metric, which is also an indication of future profit. Organic CSM movement is a component of organic capital generation, and represents the ongoing CSM value creation calculated excluding the impact of non-organic items that add volatility to the total CSM, such as market variations.
The following table presents the evolution of the CSM for the second quarter of 2025.

At June 30, 2025, the CSM totalled more than $7.1 billion, an increase of $669 million or 10% over the last twelve months.
Results for the second quarter of 2025
During the second quarter, the CSM increased organically by $140 million. This increase was driven by the following items:
- The positive impact of new insurance business of $195 million, mainly driven by good business growth, in particular in individual insurance in Canada and segregated funds, in addition to the impact of a favourable product sales mix;
- Organic financial growth of $93 million; and
- Net insurance experience gains of $52 million, mainly reflecting favourable policyholder behaviour experience in the segregated fund portfolio.
The CSM recognized for service provided in earnings amounted to $200 million, representing an increase of 18% compared to the same period last year.
During the second quarter, non-organic items led to an increase in the CSM of $68 million, mostly due to the favourable impact of market variations of $104 million, partly offset by the unfavourable currency impact from U.S. Operations of $36 million.
³ The CSM, excluding the CSM for segregated funds, counts as Tier 1 capital in the solvency ratio calculation.

Second quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 24
As a result of organic and non-organic items, the CSM increased by $208 million (+3%) during the second quarter of 2025.
Results for the first six months of 2025
During the first six months of 2025, the CSM increased organically by $272 million. This increase was driven by the positive impact of new insurance business of $386 million, mainly from sales of individual insurance in Canada and segregated funds, and by organic financial growth of $185 million and a net insurance experience gain of $96 million. The net insurance experience gain mainly reflects favourable policyholder behaviour experience in the segregated fund portfolio. These positive items were partially offset by CSM recognized for service provided in earnings of $395 million. During the first half of 2025, non-organic items led to a CSM decrease of $31 million, mainly as a result of unfavourable currency impacts from U.S. Operations.

| Tier 1 | 5,185 | 4,628 | 4,742 | 5,010 |
| Tier 2 | 3,824 | 3,818 | 4,081 | 3,421 |
| Surplus allowance and eligible deposits | 2,786 | 2,785 | 2,758 | 2,538 |
| Total | 11,795 | 11,231 | 11,581 | 10,969 |
| Base solvency buffer | 8,551 | 8,500 | 8,337 | 7,766 |
| Solvency ratio | 138% | 132% | 139% | 141% |
The Company ended the second quarter of 2025 with a solvency ratio of 138%, compared with 132% at the end of the previous quarter and 141% a year earlier. This result is well above the regulatory minimum ratio of 90%. The six-percentage-point increase during the quarter was mainly driven by the favourable impact of organic capital generation and the preferred share issuance completed on June 23, 2025, as outlined in the "Highlights" section of this document. The increase was partially offset by capital deployment activities, including share buybacks (NCIB) and IT investments. As at June 30, 2025, on a pro forma basis, taking into account the proposed acquisition of RF Capital announced on July 28, 2025, the solvency ratio is estimated at 132%.
During the second quarter, the Company organically generated $200 million in additional capital. After six months, $325 million has been generated. At June 30, 2025, the capital available for deployment was assessed at $1.5 billion. This result was largely driven by good organic capital generation, although it was partly offset by capital deployed during the quarter. As at June 30, 2025, on a pro forma basis, taking into account the proposed acquisition of RF Capital announced on July 28, 2025, the capital available for deployment is estimated at $900 million.

| Financial leverage ratio | 16.9% | 14.8% | 17.3% | 16.4% |
The financial leverage ratio $^{11}$ was 16.9% on June 30, 2025 compared to 14.8% at the end of the previous quarter. The variation is mainly due to the $400 million issuance of preferred shares outlined in the "Highlights" section of this document.
| Book Value per Common Share and Market Capitalization | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | June 30, 2024 | |
| Book value per common share^{1} | $76.02 | $74.62 | $73.44 | $69.92 |
| Number of common shares outstanding | 92,795,397 | 93,258,297 | 93,455,697 | 95,142,257 |
| Share price at close | $149.29 | $136.66 | $133.32 | $85.91 |
| Market capitalization (in million of dollars) | $13,853 | $12,745 | $12,460 | $8,174 |
The book value per common share increased by 9% during the last 12 months and by 2% during the quarter to reach $76.02 at June 30, 2025. This result is mostly attributable to the increase in retained earnings, which was partly offset by the impact of the share buybacks (NCIB) and the dividend payment to common shareholders.
The number of common shares outstanding decreased by 462,900 during the quarter. This decrease is mainly due to the Company's redemption and cancellation of common shares under the NCIB program, which was partly offset by the exercise of stock options under the stock option plan for senior managers.
During the second quarter, the Company repurchased and cancelled a total of 535,400 outstanding common shares for a total value of $73 million. Under the current NCIB in force from November 14, 2024 to November 13, 2025, the Company can repurchase up to 4,694,894 common shares, representing approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding shares as at October 31, 2024.
- Book value per common share is calculated by dividing the common shareholders' equity, which represents the total equity less other equity instruments, by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period.

Second quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 26
Since November 14, 2024, 1,358,000 shares, or 1.4% of the outstanding shares, have been repurchased and cancelled. Therefore, the Company may repurchase up to 3,336,894 outstanding common shares between June 30, 2025 and November 13, 2025.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION ACCORDING TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following table presents the balances of assets, liabilities and equity in the general fund.
| Financial Position of General Fund | ||
|---|---|---|
| (In millions of dollars) | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
| General fund assets | 57,932 | 57,286 |
| General fund liabilities | 49,877 | 49,819 |
| Total equity | 8,055 | 7,467 |
General fund assets and liabilities remained relatively stable as at June 30, 2025 compared to the previous year ended December 31, 2024.
At June 30, 2025, general fund assets totalled $57.9 billion compared to $57.3 billion at December 31, 2024. The variation is mainly driven by amounts receivable arising from investment transactions that occurred in the normal course of business, as well as an increase in deferred income tax assets mainly related to the change in insurance contract liabilities.
At June 30, 2025, general fund liabilities totalled $49.9 billion compared to $49.8 billion at December 31, 2024. The redemption of subordinated debentures in February 2025 decreased the general fund liabilities by $400 million, which was more than offset by an increase in other liabilities due to amounts payable related to investment transactions in the normal course of business.
| Capital Structure | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In millions of dollars) | June 30, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | June 30, 2024 |
| Equity | ||||
| Common shares and contributed surplus | 1,538 | 1,542 | 1,540 | 1,555 |
| Preferred shares and other equity instruments | 1,000 | 600 | 600 | 725 |
| Retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income | 5,517 | 5,420 | 5,327 | 5,094 |
| Total shareholders’ equity | 8,055 | 7,562 | 7,467 | 7,374 |
| Debentures | 1,495 | 1,495 | 1,894 | 1,496 |
| Total capital structure | 9,550 | 9,057 | 9,361 | 8,870 |
The Company's capital structure is defined as the total of the shareholders' equity and debentures.
Equity was $8.1 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $7.5 billion at December 31, 2024. The six-month variation is primarily related to the:
- contribution of net income to retained earnings, totalling $522 million, and the $55 million decrease in comprehensive income attributed to shareholders for the first six months of 2025;
- increase in preferred shares and other equity instruments as a result of the $400 million Class A – Series C preferred share issuance mentioned in the “Highlights” section of this document;
- $168 million impact of dividends on common shares; and
- repurchase and cancellation of $104 million in common shares through the NCIB program.
Debentures were $1.5 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2024. The six-month variation is due to the redemption of subordinated debentures as mentioned above.
As a result of the items listed above, the Company's capital structure amounted to nearly $9.6 billion at June 30, 2025, an increase of $189 million from December 31, 2024.

LIQUIDITY
At June 30, 2025, cash and short-term investments were $2,207 million compared to $1,794 million at March 31, 2025 and $1,566 million at December 31, 2024. The following table summarizes the source and use of the Company's funds for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
| Cash Flows | Second quarter | Year-to-date at June 30 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated) | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Cash and short-term investments at beginning | 1,794 | 1,462 | 1,566 | 1,379 |
| Cash flows from (used in): | ||||
| Operating activities | 272 | 843 | 1,143 | 1,194 |
| Investing activities | (52) | (275) | (154) | (333) |
| Financing activities | 208 | (45) | (334) | (263) |
| Foreign currency gains (losses) on cash | (15) | 5 | (14) | 13 |
| Increase (decrease) in cash and short-term investments | 413 | 528 | 641 | 611 |
| Cash and short-term investments at end | 2,207 | 1,990 | 2,207 | 1,990 |
Cash flows from operating activities generally vary due to income before income taxes, sales and purchases of investments as well as receipts and disbursements on insurance and reinsurance contracts. Cash flows from investing activities change due to the acquisition of businesses and purchases of fixed and intangible assets. Cash flows from financing activities change due to transactions involving equity and debentures.
Cash flows increased by $413 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to an increase of $528 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities between the two periods is offset by cash flows used in investing activities, with the acquisition of Vericity in 2024, as well as by cash flows used in financing activities for the redemption of common shares, which was higher in 2024 than in 2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash flows increased by $641 million compared to an increase of $611 million for the same period in 2024. The variation between the two periods is mainly attributable to investing activities, driven by the acquisition of Vericity in 2024 and, to a lesser extent, the acquisition of Global Warranty in 2025. This variation was partially offset by financing activities cash outflows, which were higher in 2025 due to the redemption of $400 million of subordinated debentures in February, offset in part by lower common share repurchases compared to 2024.

G. Investments
The following table shows the main asset classes that make up the Company's investment portfolio.
| Investment Mix | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated) | June 30, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | June 30, 2024 |
| Book value of investments | 45,806 | 45,676 | 45,580 | 42,644 |
| Allocation of investments by asset class | ||||
| Bonds | 69.1% | 70.5% | 71.7% | 69.7% |
| Stocks | 12.4% | 12.3% | 11.3% | 10.7% |
| Loans (including mortgages) | 7.3% | 7.5% | 7.6% | 8.4% |
| Investment properties | 3.3% | 3.3% | 3.3% | 3.7% |
| Cash and short-term investments | 4.8% | 3.9% | 3.4% | 4.7% |
| Other | 3.1% | 2.5% | 2.7% | 2.8% |
| Total | 100.0% | 100.0% | 100.0% | 100.0% |
The total value of the investment portfolio was nearly $46 billion at June 30, 2025, 7% higher than a year ago and slightly higher than the first quarter of 2025. The second quarter variation is primarily attributed to the issuance of preferred shares as outlined in the "Highlights" section of this document, which was partly offset by the unfavourable impact of macroeconomic variations, mostly on the bond portfolio.
| Quality of Investments | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | June 30, 2024 | |
| Bonds – Proportion rated BB or lower | 0.8% | 0.7% | 0.7% | 0.6% |
| Mortgages – Proportion of securitized and insured loans | 61.9% | 63.4% | 65.0% | 66.2% |
| Investment properties – Occupancy rate^{1} | 84.7% | 85.8% | 85.5% | 86.0% |
| Car loans – Net impaired loans as a percentage of gross loans^{2} | 0.43% | 0.44% | 0.49% | 0.43% |
| Car loans – Total allowance for credit losses (ACL) as a percentage of gross loans^{3} | 5.73% | 5.63% | 5.61% | 5.20% |
The indicators in the above table continue to demonstrate the high quality of the investment portfolio. For investment properties, the occupancy rate decreased modestly during the quarter while continuing to compare favourably with the Canadian office market. The quality of the auto loan portfolio continues to be very good, despite a slight increase during the last 12 months in the total allowance for credit losses (ACL) as a percentage of gross loans.
| Derivative Financial Instruments | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | June 30, 2024 | |
| Total notional amount ($B) | 55 | 49 | 48 | 46 |
| Company's credit risk | ||||
| AA - or higher | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
| A + or lower | — | — | — | — |
| Positive fair value ($M) | 1,265 | 995 | 1,066 | 1,039 |
| Negative fair value ($M) | 798 | 1,021 | 1,060 | 815 |
- Occupancy rate on investment properties is calculated by dividing the total number of square feet rented by the total number of square feet in the Company's real estate portfolio. Land and real estate properties intended for redevelopment are excluded from the calculation.
- Net impaired loans as a percentage of gross loans is a ratio of impaired loans net of allowance for credit losses expressed as a percentage of gross loans. It is an indicator of the quality of the loan portfolio.
- Total allowance for credit losses (ACL) as a percentage of gross loans is defined as the ratio of ACL expressed as a percentage of gross loans. Provides a measure of the expected credit experience of the loan portfolio.

iA Financial Group – iA Financial Corporation Inc.
Second quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 29
The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of managing the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates, stock markets, currencies and the fair value of invested assets. These instruments are composed of various types of contracts, including interest rate swaps, market index and exchange rate contracts, forward agreements, futures contracts, and market index and currency options.
Derivative financial instruments are used as part of the Company's hedging program designed to alleviate the sensitivity of segregated fund guarantees to interest rate and stock market fluctuations. They are also used to hedge the Company's foreign exchange and interest rate risks and as part of investment strategies to reduce the Company's risk profile.
The positive fair value represents the amounts payable to the Company by the different counterparties. This amount fluctuates from one period to another according to changes in interest rates, equity markets and exchange rates. Conversely, negative fair value represents the amount payable by the Company to the different counterparties.

Caution Regarding Immediate Sensitivities
Sensitivities are provided in this section for certain risks. The sensitivities are projected using internal models at the reporting date and reflect the Company's assets and liabilities at that date. These sensitivities measure the impact of changing one factor at a time and assume that all other factors remain unchanged. Sensitivities include the impact of rebalancing equity and interest rate hedges as expected with the Company's dynamic hedging program used for guarantees on segregated funds. They exclude any subsequent actions on the Company's investment portfolio.
For solvency ratio sensitivities, it is assumed that no scenario switch occurs when estimating the impact on the interest rate risk under CARLI (CARLI interest rate risk is assessed under four different interest rate scenarios, and the scenario leading to the highest capital requirement is chosen as the worst scenario for each geographic region).
Actual results can differ significantly from these estimates for a variety of reasons, including the interaction among these factors when more than one change occurs: change in business mix, change in actuarial and investment assumptions, change in investment strategies, actual experience differing from assumptions, change in regulatory requirements, the effective tax rate, market factors, the fact that sensitivities represent simplified scenarios (e.g., parallel shift of interest rates versus non-parallel movements) and limitations of our internal models. Also, changes in factors that are less than or more than the changes tested may not be linear. For these reasons, the sensitivities should only be viewed as directional estimates of the underlying sensitivities for the respective factors based on the assumptions outlined in the Management's Discussion and Analysis for 2024, Immediate sensitivities refer to the instantaneous effects on asset and liability values, ignoring any effects on future revenues and expenses. They should be used with caution to estimate financial impacts from market variations for a quarter. Immediate sensitivities assume an immediate market variation followed by a normally expected market evolution for the rest of the quarter. In other words, immediate sensitivities could be roughly interpreted as the difference between an actual market variation for a quarter versus the expectation for that quarter. For example, for public equity markets where growth is normally expected, flat market values for a quarter would be equivalent to an immediate decline in market values.
Caution Regarding Core Earnings† Sensitivities
Sensitivities are provided in this section for certain risks. The sensitivities are projected using internal models at the reporting date and reflect the Company's assets and liabilities at that date. These sensitivities measure the impact of changing one factor at a time and assume that all other factors remain unchanged. Also, they exclude any subsequent actions on the Company's investment portfolio.
Actual results can differ significantly from these estimates for a variety of reasons, including the interaction among these factors when more than one change occurs: change in business mix, change in actuarial and investment assumptions, change in investment strategies, actual experience differing from assumptions, change in regulatory requirements, the effective tax rate, market factors, the fact that sensitivities represent simplified scenarios (e.g., parallel shift of interest rates versus non-parallel movements) and limitations of our internal models. Also, changes in factors that are less than or more than the changes tested may not be linear. For these reasons, the sensitivities should only be viewed as directional estimates of the underlying sensitivities

K. Non-IFRS and Additional Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results and statements in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards. The Company also publishes certain financial measures or ratios that are not presented in accordance with IFRS. The Company uses non-IFRS and other financial measures when evaluating its results and measuring its performance. The Company believes that such measures provide additional information to better understand its financial results and assess its growth and earnings potential, and that they facilitate comparison of the quarterly and full year results of the Company's ongoing operations. Since such non-IFRS and other financial measures do not have standardized definitions and meaning, they may differ from similar measures used by other institutions and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of financial performance, financial position or cash flow determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company strongly encourages investors to review its financial statements and other publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
Regulation 52-112 respecting Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure from the Canadian Securities Administrators ("Regulation 52-112") establishes disclosure requirements that apply, respectively, to the following categories of non-IFRS measures used by the Company:
- Non-IFRS financial measures, which depict historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow, and with respect to their composition, exclude an amount that is included in, or includes an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the Company's financial statements;
- Non-IFRS ratios, which are in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage, or similar representation, have a non-IFRS financial measure as one or more of their components and are not disclosed in the Company's financial statements; and
- Supplementary financial measures, which are not non-IFRS financial measures or non-IFRS ratios but are disclosed on a periodic basis to depict historical or expected future financial performance, financial position, or cash flow and are not disclosed in the Company's financial statements.
Below is a description of the non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios and the supplementary financial measures used by the Company. Additional information is provided, along with a description of the reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, where applicable.
This document also makes reference to certain pro forma financial information, including pro forma supplementary financial measures giving effect to the proposed acquisition of RF Capital, including total AUA and AUM, solvency ratio and capital available for deployment. These measures do not have standardized definitions and meaning, they may differ from similar measures used by other institutions and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Pro forma information as regards RF Capital is based upon information made publicly available by RF Capital and upon non-public information made available by RF Capital to the Company. Such information has not been verified independently by the Company. Accordingly, an unavoidable level of risk remains regarding the accuracy and completeness of such information, including with respect to facts or circumstances that would affect the completeness or accuracy of such information and which are unknown to the Company. See "Forward-Looking Statements".
Core earnings (losses) – Core earnings is a non-IFRS financial measure that removes from net income attributed to common shareholders the impacts of the following items:
a) market-related impacts that differ from management's expectations, which include the impacts of equity and investment property markets, interest rates and exchange rate variations on the net investment result (including impacts on net investment income and on finance expenses from insurance and reinsurance contracts) and on the insurance service result (i.e., on losses and reversal of losses on onerous contracts accounted for using the variable fee approach measurement model) and the impacts of the tax-exempt investment income (above or below expected long-term tax impacts) from the Company's multinational insurer status. For such purposes, management's expectations include:
i. an expected long-term annual return (between 8% and 9% on average) on non-pass-through non-fixed income asset investments (public and private equity, investment properties, infrastructure and preferred shares);
ii. that interest rates (including credit spreads) that are observable on the markets at the beginning of each month of the quarter will remain unchanged during each month of the quarter and that liability discount rates for the non-observable period will change as implied in the discount rate curve at the beginning of each month of the quarter; and
iii. that exchange rates at the beginning of each month of the quarter will remain unchanged during each month of the quarter;

b) assumption changes and management actions;¹
c) charges or proceeds related to acquisition or disposition of a business, including acquisition, integration and restructuring costs;
d) amortization of acquisition-related finite life intangible assets;
e) non-core pension expense, which represents the difference between the asset return calculated using the expected return on plan assets and the IFRS prescribed pension plan discount rate;
f) specified items which management believes are non-recurring or otherwise not representative of the performance of the Company, including (i) material legal settlements and provisions, (ii) unusual income tax gains and losses, (iii) material impairment charges related to goodwill and intangible assets, (iv) reallocations for reporting consistency, which sum to zero on a consolidated basis, and (v) other specified unusual gains and losses; and
g) income taxes on items listed above.
Purpose: The nature of the Company's business involves long-term financial commitments which are supported by a resilient portfolio of assets. However, movements in equity markets, interest rates, currency exchange rates, private equity valuations and real estate markets, among other things, result in ongoing variations in value that can be relatively significant to reported assets, insurance contract liabilities and net income attributed to shareholders. Such variations are not necessarily realized and may never be realized, including notably as a result of market movements in opposite directions or, in respect of interest rate movements, if fixed income investments are held to maturity.
Core earnings is presented to assist market participants in understanding the earnings potential of the business over the medium and long term by excluding from net income attributed to common shareholders certain impacts of market volatility, changes in actuarial methods, and items which management believes are non-recurring or otherwise not representative of the performance of the Company. Management believes that core earnings enable a more robust comparison of financial and operating performance from period to period and with other reporting issuers. Management also uses core earnings as a key measure to assess operating business performance and as a basis for management planning, compensation and strategic priority setting.
The core earnings calculation is supported by management expectations and assumptions subject to periodic and necessary adjustments to reflect, as accurately as possible, the impact of recent events as well as the current and projected environment on management's medium- and long-term expectations. Market risk and insurance risk management are considered in the calculation of core earnings in a medium- to long-term perspective, taking into account the Company's financial commitments. Core earnings are therefore not immune to market movements and changes in macroeconomic conditions.
Reconciliation: "Net income attributed to common shareholders" is the most directly comparable IFRS measure disclosed in the financial statements of the Company. For a reconciliation of this measure with the most directly comparable IFRS measure, refer to the "Reconciliation of Select Non-IFRS Financial Measures" section of this document.
Core earnings per common share (core EPS) – Core earnings per common share is a non-IFRS ratio obtained by dividing the core earnings by the diluted weighted average number of common shares in the corresponding period. Core EPS is used to better understand the Company's capacity to generate sustainable earnings in comparing the profitability across multiple periods and is an additional indicator for evaluating the Company's financial performance. Management also uses core EPS as a key measure to assess operating business performance and as a basis for management planning and strategic priority setting.
Return on common shareholders' equity (ROE) – Return on common shareholders' equity is a supplementary financial measure, expressed as a percentage, obtained by dividing the consolidated net income attributed to common shareholders by the average common shareholders' equity for the period. This measure provides a general measure of the Company's efficiency in using equity.
Core return on common shareholders' equity (core ROE) – Core return on common shareholders' equity is a non-IFRS ratio, expressed as a percentage, obtained by dividing the consolidated core earnings by the average common shareholders' equity for the corresponding period. This measure provides a general measure of the Company's efficiency in using equity, based on core earnings, and an additional indicator for evaluating the Company's financial performance.
CSM movement analysis – Components of the CSM movement analysis constitute supplementary financial measures. CSM movement analysis presents the movement of the contractual service margin (CSM) on a net-of-reinsurance basis, broken down as follows:
¹ Assumption changes and management actions are governed by a rigorous process, driven by industry guidance, actuarial practices and risk management practices that lead to periodic and necessary adjustments to reflect, as accurately as possible, the impact of historical and recent events as well as the current and projected environment on assumptions and expectations, namely with the objective of meeting all of the Company's commitments and maintaining its financial strength.

a) Organic CSM movement, which excludes the impacts of items that create undue volatility or are non-representative of the underlying business performance from period to period and helps in better understanding the ongoing CSM value creation. It is the sum of the following components:
i. Impact of new insurance business, which is the CSM established from non-onerous insurance contracts initially recognized in the period. It includes the impacts related to policy cancellations and acquisition expenses, and it excludes the impacts of unusual new reinsurance contracts on in-force business that are categorized as management actions;
ii. Organic financial growth, which is the movement of the CSM from 1) expected asset returns on underlying items (for insurance contracts measured under the variable-fee approach); and 2) interest accreted based on locked-in discount rates at initial recognition (for insurance contracts measured under the general measurement model);
iii. Insurance experience gains (losses), which is non-financial experience that relates to future services (e.g., policyholder behaviour that differs from expectations) on non-onerous contracts; and
iv. CSM recognized for services provided, which is the CSM recognized in net income for services provided during the period.
b) Non-organic CSM movement, which is the sum of the following components:
i. Impact of changes in assumptions and management actions, which is the impact on non-onerous contracts of changes in methods and assumptions that relate to future services or other management actions. Changes in assumptions result from the Company ensuring the adequacy of its liabilities. Management actions represent the impact of actions apart from the normal operation of the business, including but not limited to changes in methodology, model refinement and impacts of acquisitions, mergers and divestitures;
ii. Impact of markets, which represents the market experience for non-onerous contracts measured under the variable-fee approach. It is the impact on fulfilment cash flows of actual market variations (e.g., equity markets and interest rates) that differ from expectations;
iii. Currency impact, which is the impact of variations in exchange rates on the CSM, presented in Canadian dollars; and
iv. Acquisition or disposition of a business, which represents the impact on the CSM from contracts acquired as part of the acquisition of a business, or the impact on the CSM as part of the disposition of a business, presented in Canadian dollars.
The total CSM movement equals the sum of the variation of the CSM for insurance contracts and the variation of the CSM for reinsurance contracts disclosed in the note titled "Insurance Contracts and Reinsurance Contracts" in the Company's financial statements.
The CSM movement analysis provides additional information to better understand the drivers of the changes in contractual service margin from one period to another.

Drivers of earnings (DOE) – Components of the DOE analysis constitute additional financial measures. The analysis according to the DOE presents net income attributed to common shareholders and core earnings broken down by the following key drivers:
a) Insurance service result, or correspondingly the Core insurance service result when taking into account the related core earnings adjustments, as the sum of the following components (on a net-of-reinsurance basis when applicable):
i. Expected insurance earnings, which represent the recurring insurance-related earnings on business in force during the reporting period. It is the sum of the following components:
- Risk adjustment release, which is the change in risk adjustment for non-financial risk for risk expired;
- Contractual service margin (CSM) recognized for services provided, which is the CSM recognized in net income for services provided during the period; and
- Expected earnings on PAA insurance business, which is the insurance service result (insurance revenue, net of insurance service expenses) for insurance contracts measured under the premium allocation approach, excluding estimated experience gains (losses).
ii. Impact of new insurance business, which is point-of-sale loss of writing new insurance business identified as onerous as per IFRS 17 during the period. The expected profit realized in the years after a contract is issued should cover the loss incurred at the time of issue. The gain of writing new insurance business identified as non-onerous as per IFRS 17 is recorded in the contractual service margin (not in net income).
iii. Insurance experience gains (losses), or correspondingly Core insurance experience gains (losses) when taking into account the related core earnings adjustments, which are differences between expected and actual insurance claims and expenses as measured by IFRS 17. Also included are: 1) estimated experience gains (losses) on insurance claims and expenses for contracts measured under the premium allocation approach, 2) adjustments related to current and past services, 3) insurance experience that relates to future services for onerous contracts, and 4) market experience for onerous contracts measured under the variable-fee approach. Insurance experience gains (losses) correspond to experience gains (losses), excluding market experience for onerous contracts measured under the variable-fee approach.
iv. Insurance assumption changes and management actions, which is the impact on pre-tax net income resulting from changes, on onerous contracts, in non-financial methods and assumptions that relate to future services or other management actions. Changes in non-financial assumptions result from the Company ensuring the adequacy of its liabilities given the Company's own experience in terms of mortality, morbidity, lapse rates, expenses, and other factors. Management actions represent the impact of actions apart from the normal operation of the business, including but not limited to changes in methodology, model refinement and impacts of acquisitions, mergers and divestitures.
b) Net investment result, or correspondingly the Core net investment result when taking into account the related core earnings adjustments, which is the sum of the following components (on a net-of-reinsurance basis when applicable):
i) Expected investment earnings, which is the net investment income, net of finance expenses from contract liabilities and net of investment-related expenses that are part of core earnings. It excludes the credit-related experience impacts and financing charges on debentures;
ii) Credit experience, which includes 1) the impact of rating changes, including defaults, on fixed income assets measured at fair value through profit or loss of the investment portfolio, and 2) changes in the quarterly credit experience on car loans (which are all classified at amortized cost), including impacts on allowance for credit losses (ACL);
iii) Market experience gains (losses), which are impacts on net investment income and on finance expenses from contract liabilities of actual market variations (e.g., equity markets, interest rates and exchanges rates) that differ from expectations; and
iv) Financial assumption changes and other, which is the impact on pre-tax net income resulting from changes in financial methods and assumptions. Changes in financial assumptions result from the Company ensuring the adequacy of its liabilities.
c) Non-insurance activities, or correspondingly Core non-insurance activities when taking into account the related core earnings adjustments, which are revenues net of expenses for non-insurance activities such as, but not limited to, mutual funds, wealth distribution, insurance distribution, group insurance administrative services only (ASO) business and non-insurance dealer services activities.
d) Other expenses, or correspondingly Core other expenses when taking into account the related core earnings adjustments, which are expenses not attributable to either insurance contracts or non-insurance activities, such as, but not limited to, corporate expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, financing charges on debentures and intangible asset and goodwill writedowns.

e) Financing charges on debentures, which represent interest on debentures calculated according to the effective interest method and premiums paid on redemption of debentures that are recognized as Other financing charges in the Income Statement.
f) Income taxes, or correspondingly Core income taxes when taking into account the related core earnings adjustments, which represent the value of amounts payable under the tax laws and include tax payable and deferred income taxes. A life insurer's investment income taxes and premium taxes are not included in these amounts.
g) Dividends/distributions on equity instruments, which are dividends on preferred shares and distributions on other equity instruments.
Purpose: The drivers of earnings provide additional information for evaluating the Company's financial performance and is an additional tool to help investors better understand the drivers of shareholder value creation.
Reconciliation: For a reconciliation of core earnings to net income attributed to common shareholders in accordance with the DOE analysis, refer to the "Reconciliation of Select non-IFRS Financial Measures" section of this document.
Assets under administration – Assets under administration (AUA) is a supplementary financial measure defined as all assets with respect to which the Company acts only as an intermediary between a client and an external fund manager. This measure is used to assess the Company's ability to generate fees, particularly for investment funds and funds under administration.
Assets under management – Assets under management (AUM) is a supplementary financial measure defined as all assets with respect to which the Company establishes a contract with a client and makes investment decisions for amounts deposited in this contract. This measure is used to assess the Company's ability to generate fees, particularly for investment funds and funds under management. Refer to the "Business Growth – Assets Under Management and Assets Under Administration" section of this document for a presentation of the components of assets under management.
Capital available for deployment – Capital available for deployment is a supplementary financial measure defined as the amount of capital the Company can deploy in an acquisition-type transaction, assuming the most restrictive transaction parameters with respect to regulatory capital (e.g., a transaction involving only intangible assets such as goodwill). The calculation considers the amount of capital over and above the Company's operating capital target ratios, calculated under the Capital Adequacy Requirements Guideline – Life and Health Insurance (CARLI), in addition to potential debt capital and other regulatory capital instruments other than common shares, considering all limits and constraints of the regulatory capital guideline and the Company's own internal targets. This measure provides a measure of the Company's capacity to deploy capital for transactions.
Core effective tax rate – Core effective tax rate is a non-IFRS ratio obtained by dividing income taxes, as included in the presentation of core earnings in accordance with the DOE analysis, by core earnings before tax. The core effective tax rate is an additional indicator used to evaluate and better compare tax expenses across multiple periods
Dividend payout ratio – Dividend payout ratio is a supplementary financial measure defined as the percentage of net income attributed to common shareholders that is distributed to common shareholders in the form of dividends during the period. It indicates the percentage of the Company's net income attributed to shareholders that shareholders received in the form of dividends.
Core dividend payout ratio – Core dividend payout ratio is a non-IFRS ratio defined as the percentage of core earnings that is distributed to common shareholders in the form of dividends during the period. This measure indicates the percentage of the Company's core earnings shareholders received in the form of dividends.
Financial leverage ratio – Financial leverage ratio is a non-IFRS ratio calculated by dividing the total debentures plus preferred shares and other equity instruments by the sum of total debentures plus shareholders' equity and post-tax contractual service margin (CSM). The CSM is used for the purpose of presenting the financial leverage ratio and is calculated as the difference between the CSM balance and the product obtained by multiplying the CSM balance for each legal entity by the applicable statutory tax rate. The financial leverage ratio provides a measure of the Company's financial leverage when planning the Company's strategies and priorities for capital management initiatives.
Financial leverage ratio (debentures only) – Financial leverage ratio (debentures only) is a non-IFRS ratio calculated by dividing the total debentures by the sum of total debentures plus shareholders' equity and post-tax contractual service margin (CSM). The CSM is used for the purpose of presenting the financial leverage ratio and is calculated as the difference between the CSM balance and the product obtained by multiplying the CSM balance for each legal entity by the applicable statutory tax rate. The financial leverage ratio (debentures only) provides a measure of the Company's financial leverage when planning the Company's strategies and priorities for capital management initiatives.
Organic capital generation – Organic capital generation is a supplementary financial measure defined as the amount of capital generated during a period, in excess of the Company's operating solvency target ratio, through activities representative of the Company's earnings performance and potential over the medium and long term, consistent with the core earnings definition. The

Escalating U.S.-Canada trade tensions, including tariffs on automobiles and auto parts, along with U.S.-China trade frictions and retaliatory tariffs, have intensified global trade instability. Global equity markets have experienced volatility due to uncertainty around tariffs, shifting interest rate expectations, and softer-than-expected economic data. In addition, trade barriers, such as potential and actual tariffs by the U.S., may shift global growth and trade patterns and have a ripple effect on supply chains, potentially further disrupting markets. These factors could lead to reduced consumer and investor confidence, increased financial volatility, and constrained growth opportunities.
Additional information about the material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations and about material factors or assumptions applied in making forward-looking statements may be found in the "Risk Management" section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis for 2024, the "Management of Financial Risks Associated with Financial Instruments and Insurance Contracts" note to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and elsewhere in iA Financial Group's filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators, which are available for review at sedarplus.ca.
