ANALYSIS OF EARNINGS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The following table sets out the core earnings^† and net income attributed to common shareholders by business segment. An analysis of the performance by business segment and a reconciliation between the net income attributed to common shareholders and core earnings^† for each business segment is provided in the following pages.

Insurance, Canada

• 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 earnings⁸ were 8% higher, mainly reflecting an increase in expected earnings on Premium Allocation Approach (PAA)⁸ business from iA Auto and Home and an increase in the combined risk adjustment (RA) release⁸ and CSM recognized for services provided.⁸ Additionally, core insurance experiencegains⁸ 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 activities⁸ were also higher than the same period a year earlier, mainly driven by good earnings growth from Dealer Services. In addition, lower core other expenses⁸ were recorded for the quarter. Lastly, these favourable items were partially offset by the impact of new insurance business⁸ from Employee Plans due to higher confirmed sales compared to a year ago.

Wealth Management

• Net income attributed to common shareholders for the Wealth Management segment was $105 million, which is higher than $91 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 $8 million from acquisition-related items ($7 million) and the impact of non-core pension expenses ($1 million).
• Core earnings^† for this business segment were $113 million for the second quarter compared with $98 million a year ago. The 15% increase in core earnings^† over the same period in 2024 is mainly the result of an increase in the combined RA release and CSM recognized for service provided due to strong net segregated fund sales and the impact of favourable financial market performance over the last 12 months. Also, core non-insurance activities were slightly higher, mainly reflecting higher net revenue on assets in Group Savings and Retirement and at iA Clarington (mutual funds).

US Operations

• 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 million⁹ increase in the core insurance service result,¹⁰ 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 million⁹ 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.

Investment

• Net income attributed to common shareholders for the Investment segment was $103 million, which is higher than $63 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 $1 million, as a result of the following items:
  • the market-related impacts that differ from management’s expectations, totalling a net loss of $1 million as the favourable impacts from equity variations of $74 million, primarily from the good performance of public equity, were more than offset by 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; and
  • favourable other adjustments totalling $2 million consisting of a tax-related item and a reallocation for reporting consistency which sum to zero on a consolidated basis.
• Core earnings^† for this business segment were $102 million, which is higher than $91 million in 2024. Prior to taxes, financing charges on debentures and dividends, core earnings^† were driven by a core net investment result¹⁰ of $127 million. This result compares favourably with $108 million recorded a year ago, reflecting, among other factors, the favourable impact of interest rate variations in recent quarters. In addition, favourable credit experience¹⁰ resulted in a $4 million gain due to higher impacts from upgrades than downgrades in the fixed income portfolio ($2 million) and positive credit experience in the car loans portfolio of iA Auto Finance ($2 million).

Corporate

• 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,¹¹ and a higher provision of $11 million before taxes for variable compensation related to the Company’s performance since the beginning of 2025.

RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME ATTRIBUTED TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS AND CORE EARNINGS^†

The following table presents net income attributed to common shareholders and the adjustments that account for the difference between net income attributed to common shareholders and core earnings.^†

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 above 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.

Contractual Service Margin (CSM) ¹³ – During the second quarter, the CSM increased organically by $140 million. This increase is due to the positive impact of new insurance business of $195 million, organic financial growth of $93 million and net insurance experience gains of $52 million, partly offset by the CSM recognized for service provided in earnings of $200 million, up 18% from a year earlier. Non-organic items led to an increase in the CSM of $68 million during the second quarter, mostly due to the favourable impact of market variations. As a result, the total CSM increased by $208 million (+3%) during the quarter to stand at $7,140 million at June 30, 2025, an increase of 10% over the last 12 months.

Business growth – During the second quarter of 2025, almost all business units recorded good sales 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.¹⁴ In the Wealth Management segment, the Company continued to rank first for both gross and net segregated fund sales,¹⁵ 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,¹⁶ premium equivalentsand deposits,¹⁶ totalling nearly $5.1 billion, compared to the same period last year. Also, total assets under management and total assets under administrationamounted to approximately $274 billion, an increase of 16% over the last 12 months.

INSURANCE, CANADA

• In 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.¹⁷
• In 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.
• For 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.
• At 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

• In 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 salesof $670 million. The Company continued to rank first in Canada in gross and net segregated fund sales.¹⁸ 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

• In 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.
• In Dealer Services, second quarter sales of US$296 millionwere 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.

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT AND ASSETS UNDER ADMINISTRATION

Assets under management and administration totalled nearly $274 billion at the end of the second quarter, up 16% over the last 12 months and up 4% during the quarter. This growth was mainly driven by the performance of financial markets and high net segregated fund inflows.

NET PREMIUMS, PREMIUM EQUIVALENTS AND DEPOSITS

Net premiums, premium equivalents and deposits amounted to nearly $5.1 billion in the second quarter, a 4% increase over the same period last year, driven by all business units in the Insurance, Canada and U.S. Operations segments.

FINANCIAL POSITION

The Company’s solvency ratio was 138%¹⁹ 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 and the preferred share issuance completed on June 23, 2025, as outlined below in this section. The Company’s financial leverage ratio^†† of 16.9% at June 30, 2025 compares to 14.8% at the end of the previous quarter.

Book value – The book value per common share was $76.02 at June 30, 2025, up 2% during the quarter and 9% during the last 12 months.

Thereafter, the dividend rate of the shares will reset every five years at a rate per annum equal to the prevailing 5‑year Government of Canada Yield, plus 3.40%.

Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) – During the second quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased and cancelled 535,400 outstanding common shares for a total value of $73 million under the NCIB program. 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 common shares as at October 31, 2024. Since November 14, 2024, 1,358,000 shares, or 1.4% of the outstanding common shares, have been repurchased and cancelled.

NON-IFRS AND ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL MEASURES

iA Financial Corporation reports its financial results and statements in accordance with IFRS^® Accounting Standards.

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.

Non-IFRS financial measures include core earnings (losses).

Non-IFRS ratios include core earnings per common share (core EPS); core return on common shareholders’ equity (core ROE); core effective tax rate; core dividend payout ratio; and financial leverage ratio.

Supplementary financial measures include return on common shareholders’ equity (ROE); components of the CSM movement analysis (organic CSM movement, impact of new insurance business, organic financial growth, insurance experience gains (losses), impact of changes in assumptions and management actions, impact of markets, currency impact); components of the drivers of earnings (in respect of both net income attributed to common shareholders and core earnings); assets under management; assets under administration; capital available for deployment; dividend payout ratio; total payout ratio (trailing 12 months); organic capital generation; sales; net premiums; and premium equivalents and deposits.

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.
