Insights

Manulife delivered mixed Q2 results with strategic growth in Asia/Global WAM offset by U.S. challenges and credit losses.

Manulife's Q2 2025 results present a nuanced picture of growth and challenges across its diversified global platform. Core earnings of $1.7 billion decreased 2% year-over-year on a constant exchange rate basis, though core EPS increased 2% to $0.95 due to share repurchases. Notably, when excluding the impact of strengthened expected credit loss provisions, core earnings would have grown 2%, highlighting the underlying strength of the business.

The performance divergence across segments is particularly revealing. Asia continues to be a standout performer with core earnings up 13%, APE sales growing 31%, and new business CSM increasing 34%. This demonstrates Manulife's strong positioning in high-growth Asian markets. Similarly, Global Wealth and Asset Management delivered impressive results with core earnings up 19% and core EBITDA margin expanding 380 basis points to 30.1%, reflecting improved operational efficiency and scale benefits.

However, the U.S. segment represents a significant drag with core earnings plummeting 53% due to unfavorable life insurance claims experience, lower investment spreads, and strengthened credit loss provisions. This concerning performance may require management's focused attention to stabilize the business.

The announced acquisition of a 75% stake in Comvest Credit Partners adds $14.7 billion in assets under management and strengthens Manulife's private credit capabilities, a strategically important area that could enhance fee revenue and investment returns across the platform.

Expense discipline remains strong with core expenses down 3%, while Manulife continues to return capital to shareholders through $1.1 billion in share repurchases year-to-date. The company's 136% LICAT ratio indicates robust capital adequacy, providing flexibility for continued organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and shareholder returns.

The divergent performance across segments underscores both the benefits of Manulife's diversification and the challenges in certain markets. While the Asia and Global WAM growth engines are firing on all cylinders, management must address the significant underperformance in the U.S. segment to deliver more consistent results across the enterprise.

  • Announced today the agreement to acquire a 75% stake in Comvest Credit Partners, adding US$14.7 billion9 to our Global WAM platform. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 202510

"Our second-quarter results underscore the strength and resilience of our global franchise, as we continue to deliver high-quality growth across a diversified portfolio. All three insurance segments achieved over 30% growth year over year in new business CSM, clear evidence of our momentum and future earnings potential. Notably, Asia continued to generate strong APE sales and increased NBV margin sequentially.6 Global WAM further expanded its core EBITDA margin4 and delivered double-digit core earnings growth compared with the prior year quarter.7


"It's an incredible privilege to lead Manulife and I'm energized by the passion and performance of this team. We are building on a strong foundation and are well-positioned to navigate a dynamic macroeconomic landscape with clarity and purpose. As we write Manulife's next chapter, I'm confident our strong commitment to customers, digital and AI-enabled solutions, will set new standards for excellence, efficiency, and sustainable growth across our global franchise.


"Investing in our high-potential businesses with strategically focused intent is critical, and I'm excited to announce our acquisition of Comvest Credit Partners, adding highly complementary and scaled capabilities in private credit, an asset-strategy that we believe will contribute to future growth across our Global Wealth and Asset Management lines of business." 


— Phil Witherington, Manulife President & Chief Executive Officer


"While core EPS growth was dampened by headwinds related to unfavourable life insurance claims experience in the U.S. and strengthened expected credit loss provisions, the underlying fundamentals of our businesses remained robust and we are reporting strong earnings growth in Global WAM, Asia and Canada. This is supported by our continued expense discipline which drove a 3% reduction in overall core expenses compared with 2Q24.2 Book value per common share was resilient with a 5% increase year over year, and we continue buying back common shares, including $1.1 billion since the start of the year, demonstrating our steadfast commitment to enhancing shareholder value."


— Colin Simpson, Manulife Chief Financial Officer

Strategic Highlights

We are embedding AI across our business, accelerating our journey to become a Digital, Customer Leader and earning the top spot for AI maturity in our industry  

In Global WAM, we launched an AI-powered sales enablement solution in U.S. Retirement, delivering real-time insights and personalized content to enhance our sales operation and productivity, improve our sales close ratio, and drive revenue growth. This doubled the number of sales opportunities compared with 2Q24 and reduced the time spent on information searches by over 50%.

In Asia, we rolled out VOICE in Singapore and Japan, a multi-signal dashboard that includes call trend analysis, net sentiment scores, topic trends and deep dive insights from call center transcripts. VOICE utilizes GenAI to categorize data, find correlations, and customize insights by analyzing near real-time trends from customer interactions. These insights help us to better understand customer sentiment and key interests, enhance services, improve training, and identify opportunities to better deliver value to our customers.

In the U.S., we launched a GenAI functionality in long-term care ("LTC") to enhance automated claims processing to strengthen the value of our LTC business and provide insights for future innovations.

In Canada, we launched an end-to-end digital travel insurance platform that modernizes the distributor experience and simplifies the purchasing process for Canadians and their families.

We were ranked first in the life insurance sector for AI maturity in the inaugural Evident AI Index for Insurance11, ranking in the top five across the insurance industry overall. Our strong performance, particularly around Leadership and Transparency, is a testament to the multi-year investments in AI across the Company, reflecting our capability in scaling AI effectively.

We continue to strengthen our distribution capabilities and expand product offerings to meet evolving customer needs

In Asia, we demonstrated the strength of our agency force with a 23% year-over-year increase in the number of Million Dollar Round Table ("MDRT") members for Manulife Asia, positioning us as the third largest globally in 2025 MDRT membership.12

In addition, we became the first international life insurer to establish an office in the Dubai International Financial Centre13 dedicated to advising on and offering life insurance contracts to high-net-worth ("HNW") customers. This strategic move deepens our presence in the Middle East and enhances our ability to address the growing wealth and protection needs of HNW and ultra-HNW individuals in the region.

In Global WAM, we continued to deliver comprehensive investment solutions by expanding our Global Retail product lineup with the launch of a diversified real assets strategy in Malaysia to help investors navigate market volatility. In addition, we introduced four new actively managed ETF series in Canada, enhancing access to diversified equity and fixed income exposures, to meet evolving investor needs.

Furthermore, we enhanced the Manulife iFUNDS platform, making it the first integrated digital wealth solution in Singapore that offers advisors a unified view of clients' Unit Trust and Investment-Linked Plan ("ILP") holdings. By integrating these into a single platform and incorporating AI-powered ILP analytics capabilities, the enhancements streamline portfolio oversight, accelerate transaction execution, and empower advisors to deliver more personalized and insightful financial guidance.

In Canada, we partnered with Maven Clinic, the world's largest virtual clinic for women's and family health14, to offer eligible Group Benefits members 24/7 virtual access to personalized support during some of their most important stages of life, including fertility, maternity, parenting, and menopause. This initiative addresses critical care gaps that impact women's health and workforce participation.

In the U.S., we expanded our wholesaling team to pursue more targeted growth strategies and accelerate our penetration within the U.S. HNW and mass affluent markets.

Resilient earnings with strong contributions from Global WAM and Asia15

Core earnings of $1.7 billion in 2Q25, down 2% from 2Q24

Core earnings decreased as strong business growth in Global WAM, Asia and Canada was offset by unfavourable life insurance claims experience in the U.S. and strengthened ECL provisions.

  • Asia core earnings increased 13%, reflecting continued business growth, favourable claims experience and improved impact of new business, partially offset by strengthened ECL provisions.
  • Global WAM core earnings increased 19%, driven by higher net fee income from favourable market impacts over the past 12 months and positive net flows, higher performance fees and continued expense discipline, partially offset by the impact of lower fee spreads and higher taxes.
  • Canada core earnings were up 4%, as business growth in Group Insurance and higher investment spreads more than offset the impacts of a release in ECL provision in 2Q24 and the RGA Canadian universal life reinsurance transaction.16
  • U.S. core earnings decreased 53%, reflecting unfavourable life insurance claims experience, lower investment spreads and strengthened ECL provisions.
  • Corporate and Other core earnings improved by $12 million, primarily driven by lower long-term incentive compensation.

Net Income attributed to shareholders of $1.8 billion in 2Q25, $0.7 billion higher compared with 2Q24

The $0.7 billion increase in net income was driven by improved market experience. The net gain from market experience in 2Q25 reflects higher-than-expected returns on public equities and gains from derivatives and hedge accounting ineffectiveness, partially offset by lower-than-expected returns on alternative long-duration assets, mainly related to real estate and private equity investments.

Continued momentum in insurance new business results and positive net flows in Global WAM

APE sales, new business CSM and NBV increased 15%, 37% and 20%, respectively, reflecting continued sales momentum and margin expansions

  • Asia continued to generate strong growth in APE sales, new business CSM and NBV, with a year-over-year increase of 31%, 34% and 28%, respectively, reflecting higher sales volumes in Hong Kong and Asia Other.17 NBV margin of 40.0% was approximately in line with the prior year quarter and increased sequentially.
  • In Canada, APE sales decreased 34%, as strong participating life insurance sales were more than offset by the non-recurrence of a large-case Group Insurance sale in 2Q24. These sales results, combined with a more favourable product mix, drove a 1% increase in NBV. New business CSM increased 32%, reflecting the strong sales growth in Individual Insurance.
  • U.S. delivered strong new business growth this quarter, increasing APE sales, new business CSM and NBV by 40%, 59% and 12%, respectively, reflecting continued demand for our accumulation insurance products.

Global WAM net inflows of $0.9 billion in 2Q25, $0.8 billion higher compared with net inflows of $0.1 billion in 2Q24

  • Retirement net inflows of $2.0 billion in 2Q25 increased compared with net outflows of $1.3 billion in 2Q24, reflecting higher retirement plan sales across all geographies and a large-case retirement plan redemption in the U.S. in 2Q24.
  • Retail net outflows of $3.2 billion in 2Q25 increased compared with net outflows of $0.1 billion in 2Q24, driven by lower net sales through third-party intermediaries in North America and in money markets funds in mainland China. This is partially offset by higher net sales through our retail wealth platform.
  • Institutional Asset Management net inflows of $2.1 billion in 2Q25 increased compared with net inflows of $1.4 billion in 2Q24, driven by lower redemptions in fixed income mandates, partially offset by higher redemptions in equity mandates.

New business growth continued to drive higher organic CSM and CSM balance

CSM18 was $22,316 million as at June 30, 2025

CSM increased $189 million compared with December 31, 2024. Organic CSM movement contributed $1,162 million of the increase for the first half of 2025, representing an 11%6 growth on an annualized basis, primarily driven by the impact of new business, interest accretion and net favourable insurance experience, partially offset by amortization recognized in core earnings. Inorganic CSM movement was a decrease of $973 million for the same period, primarily driven by the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Post-tax CSM net of NCI2 was $18,527 million as at June 30, 2025.

2024 quarterly and year-to-date core earnings by segment, and 1Q24 total core earnings have been updated to align with the presentation of GMT in 2025, with a corresponding offset in items excluded from core earnings. See section A7 "Global Minimum Tax (GMT)" in our 2Q25 MD&A for more information.

Global Minimum Taxes ("GMT")

On June 20, 2024, the Canadian government passed the Global Minimum Tax Act into law. Canada's GMT is applied retroactively to fiscal periods commencing on or after December 31, 2023. As additional local jurisdictions are expected to enact the GMT in 2025, GMT is now recognized in net income in the reporting segments whose earnings are subject to this tax. GMT is reported in both core earnings and items excluded from core earnings in line with our definition of core earnings in section E3 "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" of the 2Q25 MD&A.

To improve the comparability of results between 2025 and 2024, we have updated certain 2024 non-GAAP and other financial measures to reflect the impact of GMT, including quarterly core earnings, core ROE, core EPS, financial leverage ratio, adjusted book value per common share, new business value, and post-tax CSM net of NCI. For further information and a complete list of the impacted financial measures, please see section A7 "Global Minimum Taxes (GMT)" of the 2Q25 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference.

Non-GAAP and other financial measures

The Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. We use a number of non-GAAP and other financial measures to evaluate overall performance and to assess each of our businesses. This section includes information required by National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure in respect of "specified financial measures" (as defined therein).

Non-GAAP financial measures include core earnings (loss); core earnings excluding the impact of the change in ECL; core earnings available to common shareholders excluding the impact of the change in ECL; core earnings available to common shareholders; core earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("core EBITDA"); core expenses; adjusted book value; post-tax contractual service margin; post-tax contractual service margin net of NCI ("post-tax CSM net of NCI"); assets under management ("AUM"); and core revenue. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures include the following stated on a constant exchange rate ("CER") basis: any of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures; net income attributed to shareholders; and common shareholders' net income.

Non-GAAP ratios include core return on common shareholders' equity ("core ROE"); diluted core earnings per common share ("core EPS"); diluted core earnings per common share excluding the impact of the change in ECL ("core EPS excluding the impact of the change in ECL"); expense efficiency ratio; adjusted book value per common share; financial leverage ratio; core EBITDA margin; and percentage growth/decline on a constant exchange rate basis in any of the above non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios; net income attributed to shareholders; diluted earnings per common share ("EPS"), CSM, and new business CSM.

Other specified financial measures include NBV; APE sales; gross flows; net flows; average assets under management and administration ("average AUMA"); NBV margin; and percentage growth/decline in these foregoing specified financial measures. In addition, explanations of the components of the CSM movement, other than the new business CSM were provided in the 2Q25 MD&A.

Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are not standardized financial measures under GAAP and, therefore, might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Therefore, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. For more information on non-GAAP financial measures, including those referred to above, see the section "Non-GAAP and other financial measures" in our 2Q25 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, Manulife makes written and/or oral forward-looking statements, including in this document. In addition, our representatives may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. All such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbour" provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws and the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The forward-looking statements in this document include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to our ability to achieve our medium-term financial and operating targets, continued share buybacks, Comvest's expected contribution to our future growth, the expected timing of the closing of the Comvest acquisition and also relate to, among other things, our objectives, goals, strategies, intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations and estimates, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as "may", "will", "could", "should", "would", "likely", "suspect", "outlook", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "forecast", "objective", "seek", "aim", "continue", "goal", "restore", "embark" and "endeavour" (or the negative thereof) and words and expressions of similar import, and include statements concerning possible or assumed future results. Although we believe 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 and they should not be interpreted as confirming market or analysts' expectations in any way.

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.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include but are not limited to: general business and economic conditions (including but not limited to the performance, volatility and correlation of equity markets, interest rates, credit and swap spreads, inflation rates, currency rates, investment losses and defaults, market liquidity and creditworthiness of guarantors, reinsurers and counterparties); changes in laws and regulations; changes in accounting standards applicable in any of the territories in which we operate; changes in regulatory capital requirements; our ability to obtain premium rate increases on in-force policies; our ability to execute strategic plans and changes to strategic plans; downgrades in our financial strength or credit ratings; our ability to maintain our reputation; impairments of goodwill or intangible assets or the establishment of provisions against future tax assets; the accuracy of estimates relating to morbidity, mortality and policyholder behaviour; the accuracy of other estimates used in applying accounting policies and actuarial methods and embedded value methods; our ability to implement effective hedging strategies and unforeseen consequences arising from such strategies; our ability to source appropriate assets to back our long-dated liabilities; level of competition and consolidation; our ability to market and distribute products through current and future distribution channels; unforeseen liabilities or asset impairments arising from acquisitions and dispositions of businesses; the realization of losses arising from the sale of investments classified fair value through other comprehensive income; our liquidity, including the availability of financing to satisfy existing financial liabilities on expected maturity dates when required; obligations to pledge additional collateral; the availability of letters of credit to provide capital management flexibility; accuracy of information received from counterparties and the ability of counterparties to meet their obligations; the availability, affordability and adequacy of reinsurance; legal and regulatory proceedings, including tax audits, tax litigation or similar proceedings; our ability to adapt products and services to the changing market; our ability to attract and retain key executives, employees and agents; the appropriate use and interpretation of complex models or deficiencies in models used; political, legal, operational and other risks associated with our operations; geopolitical uncertainty, including international conflicts and trade disputes; acquisitions and our ability to complete acquisitions including the availability of equity and debt financing for this purpose; the disruption of or changes to key elements of the Company's or public infrastructure systems; environmental concerns, including climate change; our ability to protect our intellectual property and exposure to claims of infringement; our inability to withdraw cash from subsidiaries; the timing to close the Comvest acquisition and the fact that the amount and timing of any future common share repurchases will depend on the earnings, cash requirements and financial condition of Manulife, market conditions, capital requirements (including under LICAT capital standards), common share issuance requirements, applicable law and regulations (including Canadian and U.S. securities laws and Canadian insurance company regulations), and other factors deemed relevant by Manulife, and may be subject to regulatory approval or conditions.

Additional information about material risk 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 under "Risk Management and Risk Factors" and "Critical Actuarial and Accounting Policies" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis in our most recent annual report, under "Risk Management and Risk Factors Update" and "Critical Actuarial and Accounting Policies" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis in our most recent interim report, and in the "Risk Management" note to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our most recent annual and interim reports, as well as elsewhere in our filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators.

The forward-looking statements in this document are, unless otherwise indicated, stated as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting investors and others in understanding our financial position and results of operations, our future operations, as well as our objectives and strategic priorities, and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
