QUEBEC CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 2026-- For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, iA Financial Group (TSX: IAG) recorded core diluted earnings per common share (EPS)^†† of $3.10, which is 2% higher than the same period in 2024. Core return on common shareholders’ equity (ROE)^†† for the trailing 12 months was 17.1%. Fourth quarter net income attributed to common shareholders was $182 million, diluted EPS was $1.97 and ROE for the trailing 12 months was 14.9%. The solvency ratio⁵ was 133%⁶ at December 31, 2025, highlighting a robust capital position.

“Our strong and profitable growth across all business segments in the fourth quarter — including record individual insurance sales and very strong individual net fund inflows — reflects our continued success in the mass market and the trust we continue to earn from our clients and distribution networks,” commented Denis Ricard, President and CEO of iA Financial Group. “We are confidently moving forward on our strategic path, supported by disciplined investments that enhance our capabilities and drive long-term value. The recent addition of RF Capital, which is performing ahead of our initial expectations, further strengthens our strategic position in wealth management.”

“Our fourth quarter results continue to reflect the strength of our business fundamentals, supported by solid performance and disciplined execution throughout 2025, which enabled us to reach all of our key financial targets for the year,” added Éric Jobin, Executive Vice-President, CFO and Chief Actuary. “With a strong balance sheet, significant capital available for deployment, and ongoing organic capital generation, we are well positioned to sustain our profitable growth trajectory in 2026 and beyond. These strengths give us confidence in our ability to deliver a core ROE^†† at or above 17% again in 2026.¹”

FINANCIAL TARGETS

Following the strong operating and financial performance achieved in 2025 and supported by sustained momentum across businesses, the Company is bringing forward the timeline for its financial target for core return on common shareholders’ equity (core ROE)^††. Initially set for 2027, this target will now apply to 2026. This decision highlights the consistent performance delivered since the target was introduced in February 2025 and the strength and diversification of the Company’s business model. It also reflects the disciplined execution of strategic priorities and management’s confidence in achieving a core ROE^†† of 17% or more again in 2026.

The Company also increased its target for organic capital generation (net of dividends) to $700M+ in 2026.

The Company further reconfirms its financial targets for core EPS^†† and the core dividend payout ratio,^†† which remain unchanged.

The table below presents the progress towards achieving the Company’s annual and medium-term financial targets.

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 for the fourth quarter and a reconciliation between the net income attributed to common shareholders and core earnings^† for each business segment are provided in the following pages.

Core earnings (losses)^†

Net income (loss) attributed to common shareholders

Insurance, Canada

• Net income attributed to common shareholders for the Insurance, Canada segment was $35 million compared to $41 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 $70 million. This adjustment includes the unfavourable impact of assumption changes and management actions ($35 million), mostly from the year-end actuarial review, and to a lesser extent, from the impact of a management action related to the pension plan as explained in the “Reconciliation of Net Income Attributed to Common Shareholders and Core Earnings^†” section of this document. The adjustment also includes acquisition-related items ($5 million), the non-core pension expense ($4 million) and specified items ($26 million), mainly consisting of a software writedown as part of the Company’s digital transformation, primarily related to one IT project.
• Core earnings^† for this business segment were $105 million compared to $116 million for the same period in 2024. The $11 million decrease in core earnings^† mainly reflects the net impact of the following:
  • The fact that the comparable period in 2024 benefited from elevated core insurance experience gains¹¹ of $15 million, whereas the fourth quarter of 2025 recorded core insurance experience losses¹¹ of $4 million, driven by unfavourable morbidity experience in Special Markets, partially offset by favourable mortality;
  • Higher expected insurance earnings¹¹ driven by an increase in the combined risk adjustment (RA) release¹¹ and CSM recognized for services provided¹¹ from Individual Insurance and Employee Plans;
  • Higher expected earnings on Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) insurance,¹¹ mainly from iA Auto and Home;
  • Higher core non-insurance activities,¹¹ totalling $16 million compared to $14 million a year earlier, mainly driven by the performance of Dealer Services; and
  • Core other expenses¹¹ of $17 million compared to $16 million for the same period in 2024.

Wealth Management

• The net income attributed to common shareholders for the Wealth Management segment was $112 million, which is 11% higher than $101 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 $15 million consisting of acquisition-related items ($12 million), the unfavourable impact of assumption changes and management actions ($1 million), mainly due to the year-end actuarial review, and the impact of non-core pension expenses ($2 million).
• Core earnings^† for this business segment were $127 million for the period compared with $112 million a year earlier. The 13% growth in core earnings^† is mainly the result of the higher combined RA release and CSM recognized for services provided due to strong net segregated fund sales and the impact of favourable financial markets over the last 12 months. These favourable variations were tempered by the higher impact of new insurance business in Group Savings and Retirement from sales of insured annuities. Core non-insurance activities were similar to the same period in 2024. This is the result of higher net revenue on assets due to market performance and the strong contribution from RF Capital of $8 million being offset by lower net interest income, consistent with a 100-basis-point cut in the Bank of Canada policy rate in 2025, as well as non-recurring expenses in the other distribution and advisory affiliates and other miscellaneous items. Lastly, core insurance experience gains of $2 million were recorded during the quarter, mainly due to favourable longevity experience.

US Operations

• The net income attributed to common shareholders for the US Operations segment was $7 million compared to a loss of $13 million for the same period in 2024. Net income or loss attributed to common shareholders is composed of core earnings^† as well as core earnings adjustments.
• Core earnings adjustments to net income totalled $23 million. These adjustments include the unfavourable impact of assumption changes and management actions from the year-end actuarial review ($14 million) and acquisition-related items ($10 million). These items were partially offset by the net favourable impact of specified items ($1 million), which mainly reflects a favourable legal case settlement.
• Core earnings^† for this business segment were $30 million, which compares to $26 million for the same period in 2024. The increase of 15% in core earnings^† is the result of the higher combined RA release and CSM recognized for services provided, mainly driven by good business growth in the last 12 months, and lower core other expenses from both Dealer Services and Individual Insurance. The increase in core earnings^† was tempered by core insurance experience losses of $2 million due to unfavourable insurance lapses, compared to core insurance experience gains recorded in the same period in 2024. Core non-insurance activities of $15 million were similar to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a sales mix in US Dealer Services weighted toward insurance products for which earnings emerge over time. Core non-insurance activities also include the results of eFinancial (digital distribution entity of Vericity), which performed as expected.

Investment

• The net income attributed to common shareholders for the Investment segment was $104 million compared to $163 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 reflected a positive impact on net income of $13 million as a result of the following items:
  • Market-related impacts that differ from management’s expectations, which resulted in a $6 million increase in net income. This adjustment is explained by the favourable impacts from equity variations ($17 million), mainly driven by the good performance of public equity, and by the favourable impact of the CIF¹² ($3 million). These positive items were partially offset by the unfavourable impact of $14 million from investment properties, mostly driven by market value adjustments;
  • The net favourable impact of assumption changes and management actions of $5 million from the year-end actuarial review; and
  • Positive specified items of $2 million, consisting mostly of a reallocation for reporting consistency, which sum to zero on a consolidated basis.
• Core earnings^† for this business segment were $91 million compared to $102 million a year earlier. Prior to taxes, financing charges on debentures and dividends, core earnings^† were driven by a core net investment result¹³ of $127 million. This result compares with $120 million recorded a year earlier and $132 million the previous quarter. The core net investment result is composed of the expected investment earnings¹³ and credit experience.¹³
  • Expected investment earnings quarter-over-quarter analysis – $124 million in the fourth quarter compared to $129 million in the third quarter. This result mainly reflects the impact of a reduction in assets following the acquisition of RF Capital Group.
  • Expected investment earnings year-over-year analysis – $124 million in the fourth quarter compared to $127 million a year earlier. This result mainly reflects the impact of a reduction in assets following the acquisition of RF Capital Group, partially offset by the favourable impact of macroeconomic variations, in part due to the steepening of the interest yield curve.
  • Credit experience – Favourable credit experience resulted in a $3 million gain for the quarter due to positive credit experience in the car loans portfolio of iA Auto Finance, while credit experience in the fixed income portfolio had no impact on results this quarter.

Corporate

• The net loss attributed to common shareholders for the Corporate segment was $76 million compared to $72 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 $10 million. This adjustment includes the unfavourable impact of assumption changes and management actions ($2 million), specifically a management action related to the pension plan as explained in the “Reconciliation of Net Income Attributed to Common Shareholders and Core Earnings^†” section below. Also, there were charges ($4 million) related to the acquisitions of Vericity (Fidelity Life and eFinancial), Global Warranty and RF Capital, and specified items ($4 million) reflecting software writedowns in the context of the Company’s digital transformation.
• This segment recorded core losses^† from after-tax expenses of $66 million compared to $69 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Before taxes, Corporate core other expenses were $87 million. This amount is composed of $74 million before taxes in core other expenses and $13 million before taxes for a higher-than-expected provision for variable compensation related to the Company’s performance in 2025. This result is consistent with the Company’s growth and reflects the disciplined approach to expenses, with a strong, ongoing emphasis on ensuring operational efficiency while enhancing the performance of IT infrastructures.

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 $287 million in the fourth quarter are derived from net income attributed to common shareholders of $182 million, after applying a total adjustment of $105 million (post tax) for:

• market-related impacts that differ from management’s expectations, which resulted in a $6 million increase in net income. This adjustment is explained by the favourable impact from equity variations ($17 million), mainly driven by the good performance of public equity, and by the favourable impact of the CIF ($3 million). These positive items were partially offset by the unfavourable impact from investment properties ($14 million), mostly driven by market value adjustments;
• the impact of assumption changes and management actions leading to a $47 million reduction in net income. This adjustment is mostly attributable to the year-end actuarial review ($43 million post tax; see the “Year-end actuarial review” section below), and, to a lesser extent, the impact of a management action ($4 million) related to the pension plan, as disclosed in the second quarter results;
• a total charge of $8 million related to the acquisition and integration of RF Capital and the integration of Vericity (Fidelity Life and eFinancial) and Global Warranty;
• expenses associated with acquisition-related finite life intangible assets of $23 million;
• the impact of non-core pension expenses of $6 million; and
• specified items resulting in a $27 million decrease in net income. This adjustment mainly consists of software writedowns totalling $29 million incurred as part of the Company’s digital transformation, primarily related to one IT project within the Insurance, Canada segment. This impact was slightly offset by a favourable legal case settlement in the US Operations segment.

Net Income Attributed to Common Shareholders and Core Earnings^† Reconciliation – Consolidated

Year-end actuarial review

The Company updates its actuarial assumptions and methodologies at year end. The changes in assumptions and management actions resulted in an overall positive impact of $10 million. This includes a negative impact on pre-tax net income (-$63 million), along with favourable impacts on the contractual service margin (CSM) (+$44 million) and risk adjustment (RA) (+$29 million). Overall, the combined impact on the CSM and RA was $73 million, which should have a positive impact on future earnings. Note that for the full year, including the assumption changes and management actions recognized in the first nine months of 2025, the total impact on the pre-tax net income, CSM and RA was -$1 million. More details on the year-end actuarial review are provided in the 2025 annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Contractual service margin (CSM)¹⁵

During the fourth quarter, the CSM increased organically by $152 million. This increase is due to the positive impact of new insurance business of $205 million, organic financial growth of $102 million and net insurance experience gains of $60 million, partly offset by the CSM recognized for services provided in earnings of $215 million, up 13% from a year earlier. Non-organic items led to an increase in the CSM of $48 million during the fourth quarter, mostly due to the impact of changes in assumptions and management actions as a result of the year-end actuarial review. As a result, the total CSM increased by $200 million (+3%) during the quarter to stand at $7,650 million at December 31, 2025, an increase of 11% over the last 12 months.

2025 federal budget

On November 4, 2025, the federal government of Canada released its budget. The measures proposed in this budget have not yet been enacted. Should they be adopted as announced, certain tax‑related measures could negatively affect the Company’s results, including measures that may apply retroactively to January 1, 2025. The potential impacts of all proposed measures, whose final form remains subject to change, are currently being assessed. The Company will continue to proactively maintain an effective tax structure, in accordance with applicable tax regulations.

Business growth

During the fourth quarter, sales momentum remained strong across both Canada and the U.S., with almost all business units recording good year-over-year growth. Within the Insurance, Canada segment, Individual Insurance sales reached a record level and the Company maintained its leading position for the number of policies sold.¹⁶ Employee Plans, Dealer Services and iA Auto and Home also recorded notable year-over-year sales growth. In the Wealth Management segment, sales of segregated and mutual funds were particularly strong, with combined net inflows reaching nearly $1.2 billion. The Company continued to rank first for both gross and net segregated fund sales.¹⁷ Business growth in the US Operations segment was also robust, with good year-over-year growth in both Individual Insurance and Dealer Services. Strong sales and business retention drove net premiums,¹⁸ premium equivalentsand deposits¹⁸ to more than $5.9 billion, a 4% increase compared to the same period last year. Also, total assets under management and assets under administration amounted to $341.1 billion, an increase of 31% over the last 12 months.

INSURANCE, CANADA

• In Individual Insurance, fourth quarter total sales reached a record $111 million, a 9% increase compared to the same period in 2024. This result brought sales for the full year 2025 to $415 million. Steady and consistent annual growth reflects the strength of all our distribution networks, the superior 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 individual insurance policies issued.¹⁶
• In Group Insurance, fourth quarter implemented sales of $48 million in Employee Plans were significantly higher than the $11 million recorded in the same quarter last year. Net premiums, premium equivalents and deposits for Employee Plans increased by 7% year over year, benefiting from premium increases on renewals and good sales during the year. Special Markets sales totaled $90 million in the fourth quarter, which compares to $109 million a year earlier. This variation is the result of the federal government’s measures to limit the number of international students entering Canada, which reduced demand for international student medical insurance.
• For Dealer Services, total sales ended the fourth quarter at $183 million, which is 4% higher than the same period in 2024. This performance contributed to total 2025 sales of $785 million, representing a 10% increase from a year earlier. Growth in the quarter was supported by a 9% year-over-year increase in P&C Insurance sales, driven primarily by extended warranties that benefited from the addition of sales from the Global Warranty business, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2025.
• At iA Auto and Home, direct written premiums reached $146 million in the fourth quarter, recording a strong increase of 9% compared to the same period last year and bringing the total to $661 million in 2025, which is 10% higher than in 2024. This good growth is the result of an increased number of policies and the impact of recent price adjustments.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT

• In Individual Wealth Management, total gross sales reached a quarterly record of more than $3.1 billion. Sales of segregated and mutual funds were strong during the fourth quarter, with segregated fund gross sales totalling nearly $2 billion, a 27% year-over-year increase, and mutual fund gross sales reaching $694 million, a 16% year-over-year increase. Net inflows of segregated funds were nearly $1.2 billion, and mutual fund net sales were positive once again this quarter at $13 million. The Company continued to rank first in Canada in gross and net segregated fund sales.¹⁷ 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 $429 million in the fourth quarter, similar to a year earlier.
• Group Savings and Retirement sales for the fourth quarter totalled $851 million compared to a very strong $1,838 million for the same period a year earlier, which included a major insured annuities sale of nearly $1 billion. Total assets under management of $28.8 billion at the end of the quarter were 11% higher than a year earlier.

US OPERATIONS

• In Individual Insurance, sales of US$80 million in the fourth quarter were 18% higher than the same period a year earlier, bringing sales for the full year to US$304 million, a year-over-year increase of 34%. This solid result is driven by good growth in the final expense and middle market segments and the sales contribution of Fidelity Life (insurance entity of Vericity), underscoring our potential for strong growth in the U.S. life insurance market, both organically and through acquisitions.
• In Dealer Services, fourth quarter sales increased by 8% year over year, reaching US$295 million. This performance contributed to total 2025 sales of nearly US$1.2 billion, a 9% increase from the prior 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 $341.1 billion at December 31, 2025, recording increases of 31% over the last 12 months and 18% during the fourth quarter. This performance was driven by high segregated fund inflows, favourable market conditions and the addition of assets from the RF Capital Group acquisition completed on October 31, 2025. iA Financial Group remains the Canadian leader in segregated fund assets under management.¹⁹ The Company ranks among Canada’s leading non-bank investment dealers.²⁰

NET PREMIUMS, PREMIUM EQUIVALENTS AND DEPOSITS

Net premiums, premium equivalents and deposits amounted to more than $5.9 billion in the fourth quarter, a 4% increase on the back of a very strong quarter last year, bringing the full‑year 2025 total to $22.0 billion. This performance was driven by the good sales and good retention across nearly all business units.

FINANCIAL POSITION

The Company’s solvency ratio²¹ was 133%at December 31, 2025. On a pro forma basis, the solvency ratio is 137%, at December 31, 2025, taking into account the impact of the 2026 AMF-revised CARLI Guideline. This level is similar to the ratio at September 30, 2025 (138%) and comparable to December 31, 2024 (139%). This result is well above the regulatory minimum ratio of 90%.

The decrease in the ratio during the quarter was primarily due to capital deployment activities, including the acquisition of RF Capital Group and share buybacks under the Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB). These were partially offset by organic capital generation and favourable macroeconomic variations. Also, the adjustment to the capital requirements related to exposure to domestic infrastructure (2026 AMF-revised CARLI Guideline, applicable as of Dec. 31, 2025 for this item) had a favourable impact of 0.5 percentage point.

The Company’s financial leverage ratio^†† was 16.3% at December 31, 2025, which is close to 16.4% at the end of the previous quarter.

Organic capital generation

The Company organically generated $170 million in additional capital during the fourth quarter. After twelve months, $665 million has been generated, reaching the annual target of $650M+ in 2025.

Capital available for deployment

At December 31, 2025, the capital available for deployment was assessed at $1.1 billion. On a pro forma basis, the capital available for deployment is $1.4 billion as at December 31, 2025, taking into account the impact of the 2026 AMF-revised CARLI Guideline. This level compares to $1.7 billion three months earlier. The decrease is mainly the result of capital deployment activities, including the RF Capital Group acquisition and share buybacks (NCIB), partly offset by good organic capital generation.

Book value

The book value per common share was $79.24 at December 31, 2025, which was stable during the quarter and up 8% over the last 12 months.

Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB)

During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased and cancelled a total of 687,475 outstanding common shares for a total value of $115 million. On November 4, 2025, the Company announced the renewal of its Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) program for a 12-month period. Through this renewed program, the Company can redeem and cancel, in the normal course of its activities, 4,607,178 common shares from November 14, 2025 to November 13, 2026, representing approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding shares as at October 31, 2025. Since the beginning of the current NCIB, 406,975 shares, or 0.4% of the outstanding shares, have been repurchased and cancelled. Therefore, the Company may repurchase up to 4,200,203 outstanding common shares until the end of the current program.

Dividend

The Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.9900 per share to common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.9900 per share payable during the first quarter of 2026, the same as that announced the previous quarter. This dividend is payable on March 16, 2026 to the common shareholders of record at February 27, 2026. The core dividend payout ratio^†† was 32% in the fourth quarter, near the upper end of our target range of 25% to 35%.

Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan

Acquisition of RF Capital Group Inc.

On October 31, 2025, iA Financial Group announced the closing of the RF Capital Group acquisition for a total price of $691 million,²² which includes the final cost of the advisor retention strategy. This acquisition added $43.6 billion in assets under administration as at September 30, 2025, and 142 advisor teams as at October 31, 2025, significantly expanding iA Financial Group’s presence in the high-net-worth segment. Execution of the synergy plan is already underway, with strategic initiatives aimed at driving both revenue growth and cost efficiencies. This includes the integration of corporate functions to enhance alignment across the organization and the elimination of stand-alone public-company costs. For additional information, please refer to the press release, which can be found on our website at ia.ca.

AMF Capital Adequacy Requirements Guidelines

On January 1, 2026, a revised CARLI guideline took effect. This revised guideline modified, among other things, the treatment of excess capital recognition for property and casualty subsidiaries. The effect was positive for our U.S. Dealer Services business unit, leading to the following favourable impacts on January 1, 2026:

• Solvency ratio: +3.5 percentage points
• Capital available for deployment: +$325 million

This new version also revises the capital requirements related to exposure to domestic infrastructure, whether in the form of debt or equity, applicable as of December 31, 2025 and resulting in a favourable impact of 0.5 percentage point.

Effective January 1, 2026, the Company will also be required to calculate a Solo Ratio in accordance with the AMF Stand‑Alone Capital Adequacy Requirements Guideline – Life and Health Insurance (“Solo”).

EVO Insurance web platform launch

iA Financial Group launched the web version of its EVO Insurance platform, already used by over 30,000 advisors nationwide. This new version marks an important step in the digital transformation. It enables advisors to submit personalized applications in under 10 minutes with near-instant approvals, delivering a faster, simpler, and more seamless client experience.

Partnership with Empathy for bereavement support

On December 10, 2025, iA Financial Group announced a strategic partnership with Empathy to provide enhanced bereavement support for beneficiaries of Individual Life products starting in the spring of 2026. Through Empathy’s award-winning Loss Support solution, families will receive emotional, logistical, and administrative assistance, combining advanced technology with human-first care. This initiative reinforces iA’s commitment to delivering compassionate, innovative services that go beyond financial protection.

Philanthropy

• On December 12, 2025, iA Financial Group congratulated the winners of its ninth annual philanthropic contest. A total of $500,000 was donated to twelve Canadian charities tackling food insecurity.
• On December 18, 2025, iA Financial Group announced that it had donated $500,000 to Food Banks Canada, reaffirming its commitment to the organization and its mission to support Canadians facing food insecurity.

Unsolicited mini-tender offer

On November 6, 2025, iA Financial Group issued a warning about an unsolicited mini-tender offer from Ocehan LLC to purchase up to 50,000 of its common shares at $123.50 per share, significantly below the market price. The Company is not affiliated with Ocehan and does not endorse the offer. Mini-tender offers such as this one often circumvent standard regulatory disclosures and have the potential to mislead investors.

Subsequent to the fourth quarter:

• Forbes’ 2026 Best Employers –In January 2026, iA Financial Group ranked first among Canada’s largest publicly traded insurers in Forbes’ 2026 Best Employers list, reflecting strong employee feedback and a solid workplace culture.

• Philanthropy –On January 21, 2026, iA Financial Group announced a $200,000 donation to the Fondation IUCPQ to support the launch of HARMONY, a research project transforming obesity management through integrated medical, nutritional and physical activity interventions.

NON-IFRS AND ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL MEASURES

iA Financial Corporation 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.

This document also makes reference to certain pro forma financial information, including pro forma supplementary financial measures giving effect to the revised CARLI guideline, including 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. 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”.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document may contain statements that are predictive or otherwise forward-looking in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “suspect”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “estimate”, and “continue” (or the negative thereof), as well as words such as “financial targets”, “objective”, “goal”, “guidance”, “outlook” and “forecast”, or other similar words or expressions. Such statements constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of securities laws. In this document, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, information concerning possible or future operating results, strategies, and financial and operational outlooks and statements regarding the anticipated impacts of the revised CARLI guideline that took effect on January 1, 2026. These statements are not historical facts; they represent only expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events and are subject to change.

Although iA Financial Group believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. In addition, certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements.

• Material factors and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to: general business and economic conditions; level of competition and consolidation and ability to adapt products and services to market or customer changes; information technology, data protection, governance and management, including privacy breach, and information security risks, including cyber risks; level of inflation; performance and volatility of equity markets; interest rate fluctuations; hedging strategy risks; accuracy of information received from counterparties and the ability of counterparties to meet their obligations; unexpected changes in pricing or reserving assumptions; iA Financial Group liquidity risk, including the availability of funding to meet financial liabilities at expected maturity dates; mismanagement or dependence on third-party relationships in a supply chain context; ability to attract, develop and retain key employees; risk of inappropriate design, implementation or use of complex models, including artificial intelligence; fraud risk; changes in laws and regulations, including tax laws; contractual and legal disputes; actions by regulatory authorities that may affect the business or operations of iA Financial Group or its business partners; changes made to capital and liquidity guidelines (or variations or withdrawals in respect of anticipated changes); risks associated with the regional or global political and social environment; geopolitical and trade uncertainty; climate-related risks including extreme weather events or longer-term climate changes and the transition to a low-carbon economy; iA Financial Group’s ability to meet stakeholder expectations on environmental, social and governance matters; the occurrence of natural or man-made disasters, international conflicts, pandemic diseases (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) and acts of terrorism; and downgrades in the financial strength or credit ratings of iA Financial Group or its subsidiaries.
• Material factors and assumptions used in the preparation of financial outlooks include, but are not limited to: accuracy of estimates, assumptions and judgments under applicable accounting policies, and no material change in accounting standards and policies applicable to the Company; no material variation in interest rates; no significant changes to the Company’s effective tax rate; no material changes in the level of the Company’s regulatory capital requirements; availability of options for deployment of excess capital; credit experience, mortality, morbidity, longevity and policyholder behaviour being in line with actuarial experience studies; investment returns being in line with the Company’s expectations and consistent with historical trends; different business growth rates per business unit; no unexpected changes in the economic, competitive, insurance, legal or regulatory environment or actions by regulatory authorities that could have a material impact on the business or operations of iA Financial Group or its business partners; no unexpected change in the number of shares outstanding; and the non‑materialization of risks or other factors mentioned or discussed elsewhere in this document or found in the “Risk Management” section of the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for 2025 that could influence the Company’s performance or results.

Escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada, including tariffs, continue to disrupt supply chains and raise costs, contributing to economic uncertainty. Global equity markets could face increased volatility due to ongoing tariff risks, evolving interest rate expectations and elevated equity valuations. These factors may reduce consumer and investor confidence, increase financial instability and constrain growth prospects.

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 2025, 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, 2025, and elsewhere in iA Financial Group’s filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators, which are available for review at sedarplus.ca.

The forward-looking statements and outlooks in this document reflect iA Financial Group’s expectations as of the date of this document. iA Financial Group does not undertake to update or release any revisions to these forward‑looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. Forward-looking statements are presented in this document for the purpose of assisting investors and others in understanding certain key elements of the Company’s expected financial results, as well as the Company’s objectives, strategic priorities and business outlook, and in obtaining a better understanding of the Company’s anticipated operating environment. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

The pro forma information set forth in this document should not be considered to be what the actual financial position or results of operations of the Company would have necessarily been had the revised CARLI guideline been implemented as at or for the periods stated. Readers should not place undue reliance on pro forma information. See the “Non-IFRS and Additional Financial Measures” section.
