Filing Explained

Manulife’s announced long-term-care reinsurance transaction still requires regulatory approvals before the expected Q4 2026 closing.

Manulife announced a long-term-care reinsurance transaction expected to further reduce its risk profile, but the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and an expected Q4 2026 closing, so that change is not yet complete.

For shareholders using Manulife’s dividend reinvestment plans, reinvested dividends and optional cash purchases will be fulfilled through open-market purchases at the average actual purchase cost, with no applicable discount.

The release cautions that core earnings and related ratios are non-GAAP measures that are not standardized under GAAP and should not be viewed alone or as substitutes for GAAP information.

6 terms

Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test regulatory

"Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test (“LICAT”) ratio of MLI as at June 30, 2026"

A life insurance capital adequacy test is a regulatory check that measures whether an insurance company has enough financial cushion to meet its policyholder promises under normal and stressed conditions. Think of it as a household emergency fund and storm forecast combined: it shows whether the company can absorb losses, pay claims and keep operations running. Investors use the result to judge solvency risk, dividend safety and the likelihood of regulatory intervention or rating changes.

contractual service margin financial

"post-tax contractual service margin net of NCI (“post-tax CSM net of NCI”) are non-GAAP"

Contractual service margin is an accounting measure that represents the unrecognized profit insurers will earn as they fulfill the obligations in insurance contracts over time. Think of it like a prepaid balance that is gradually released to income as the insurer delivers coverage and services; it smooths profit recognition and prevents recording all gains upfront. Investors watch it because changes signal future earnings patterns, profitability of current book of business, and the quality of reported insurance liabilities.

annualized premium equivalent financial

"Insurance new business metrics comprise annualized premium equivalent (“APE”) sales, new business CSM, and NBV"

expense efficiency ratio financial

"achieving an expense efficiency ratio of 44.5%.4 Supported by our strong balance sheet"

core EBITDA margin financial

"Core EBITDA margin (%) 4 | 31.2% | 30.1% | 110 bps | 30.1% | 29.2%"

Core EBITDA margin is the percentage of a company’s revenue that represents its recurring operating cash-profit after removing interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization plus one-time or unusual gains or costs; it’s calculated as core EBITDA divided by revenue. It matters to investors because it highlights underlying operational efficiency and comparability over time—like judging a car’s steady fuel efficiency after ignoring a rare repair—helping assess sustainable profitability and valuation.

Strategic Highlights

We are differentiating through superior distribution and product innovation

In Asia, we demonstrated the strength and caliber of our agency force with Manulife Asia achieving a 9% year-

over-year increase in the number of Million Dollar Round Table (“MDRT”) members, the highest increase among

top 10 multinational insurers10 in 2026. This reflects continued progress in scaling our high-quality agency force,

supported by investments in Manulife Business Academy training programs, AI-enabled capability building, and

broader advisor excellence initiatives.

We launched two high-net-worth (“HNW”) insurance solutions this quarter. The first is an indexed HNW Takaful

solution, the first of its kind, designed to address the evolving wealth, protection, and legacy planning needs of

affluent families and business owners across the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. And the second is a

HNW insurance savings solution that uniquely combines the long-term stability and wealth preservation benefits of

a participating life insurance policy with investment diversification through the addition of a Manulife | CQS asset-

backed securities strategy.

In Global WAM, we expanded our ETF-based investment offerings to our retail customers across North America,

with the launch of new asset allocation ETFs and ETF-based mutual funds in Canada, and the John Hancock

Hedged Equity ETF in the U.S., broadening access to actively managed, outcome-oriented investment solutions.

In the U.S., we established the Longer. Healthier. Better. Network, an aligned community of independent licensed

financial advisors committed to supporting customer longevity, wellness and financial well-being through our

differentiated insurance and wealth-planning solutions. Additionally, we broadened the customer reach of our life

insurance solutions with an enhanced variable universal life offering that delivers greater protection, flexibility, and

long‑term value, better aligning our suite of solutions with evolving customer needs and supporting future growth.

We are making continued progress on our AI strategic priority, with industry recognition of our leadership

and execution

We were named the number one life insurer for AI maturity for the second consecutive year in the 2026 Evident AI

Index for Insurance, while ranking first among North American insurers, and in the top three overall among 30

major insurers in North America and Europe. This recognition highlights our ability to scale AI-driven innovation

across our global footprint, delivering measurable business value and impact, and accelerating progress on our

strategic priority to operate as an AI-powered organization.

In Canada, we were recognized as the Model Insurer for Data, Analytics & AI by Celent, a global financial services

research and advisory firm, for our innovative use of AI in underwriting through the Manulife Automated

Underwriting Decision Engine (“MAUDE”), reflecting our AI leadership in elevating advisor and customer

experiences by accelerating access to coverage and enhancing operational efficiency.

In Global WAM, we advanced scalable AI capabilities with the launch of new agentic AI solutions, bringing the

portfolio to 13 solutions across AI-powered document intelligence readers and knowledge assistants. These

capabilities are enhancing customer experience, improving operational efficiency, and creating a model for scaling

AI across Manulife.

In Asia, we became a Core Participating Insurer in the Hong Kong Insurance Authority’s AI Cohort Programme,

underscoring our commitment to advancing the responsible adoption of AI and supporting Hong Kong’s

development as a regional hub for AI innovation.

We are advancing our health and longevity leadership through partnerships, insights, and wellness

offerings

We reinforced our leadership in longevity with the launch of the Longevity Preparedness Tool, a first‑of‑its‑kind

personalized assessment developed in collaboration with the MIT AgeLab and our U.S. insurance and retirement

businesses, helping individuals assess and improve their readiness for living longer, healthier, better lives.

In Asia, we activated our strategic partnership with Bupa International Limited (“Bupa”) in Hong Kong, expanding

customer access to Bupa’s healthcare provider partners. This initial phase of enhancements quadrupled our

medical specialist network to more than 900 providers, providing customers with greater choice for healthcare.

In Global WAM, we enhanced health and wellness offerings for eligible Canada Group Retirement plan members

and private wealth clients, providing preferred-rate access to select health and wellness solutions, reinforcing our

focus on health, wealth, and longevity.

In Canada, we released our 2025 Wellness Report, providing unique insights into the evolving health and wellness

needs of Canada’s workforce and helping our group benefits plan sponsors make more informed decisions about

the programs and benefits that can best meet the needs of their employees.

Continued business growth supported double-digit increase in core earnings11

Core earnings of $1.9 billion in 2Q26, up 12% from 2Q25

The increase in core earnings reflected strong business growth in Asia and Global WAM, a lower charge in the

expected credit loss (“ECL”) provision, and the net positive impact of 2025 updates to actuarial methods and

assumptions. The increase was partially offset by lower investment spreads in the U.S., the impact of the eMPF

transition in Hong Kong, and more unfavourable net insurance experience.

•Asia core earnings increased 21%, reflecting continued business growth and the net positive impact of 2025

updates to actuarial methods and assumptions, partially offset by less favourable insurance experience.

•Global WAM core earnings increased 9%, primarily driven by higher net fee income from favourable market

impacts over the past 12 months and contributions from the Manulife | Comvest business, partially offset by

the impact of the eMPF transition in Hong Kong and higher expenses supporting business growth.

•Canada core earnings decreased 10%, reflecting unfavourable claims experience, and higher expenses in

Group Insurance to support the growing business and transformational investments to elevate customer

experience. This was partially offset by the net positive impact of 2025 updates to actuarial methods and

assumptions, an ECL provision release, and higher investment spreads.

•U.S. core earnings increased 55%, reflecting improved claims experience in both life and long-term care and a

lower charge in the ECL provision, partially offset by lower investment spreads.

•Corporate and Other core earnings decreased by $45 million, primarily driven by a higher accrual for

withholding taxes, lower earnings on surplus assets, and higher expenses.

Net Income attributed to shareholders of $2.1 billion in 2Q26, $0.3 billion higher compared with 2Q25

The $0.3 billion increase in net income was driven by core earnings growth and more favourable market

experience. The net gain from market experience in 2Q26 reflected higher-than-expected returns on public equity,

partially offset by lower-than-expected returns on alternative long-duration assets, mainly related to infrastructure,

private equity and real estate investments.

Double-digit growth across insurance new business metrics and positive net flows in Global WAM

APE sales, new business CSM and NBV increased 21%, 16%, and 10%, respectively, highlighting the

strength of our diversified business portfolio

•Asia continued to deliver strong momentum in APE sales, new business CSM and NBV, with a year-over-year

increase of 21%, 17% and 13%, respectively, primarily driven by growth in Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan.

NBV margin was 36.3%.6

•Canada APE sales increased 23%, driven by higher sales in large-case Group Insurance and participating life

insurance. New business CSM also grew 29%, reflecting higher sales, and increased margins in Individual

Insurance and Annuities. NBV increased 1%, as higher sales more than offset the impacts of lower margins

and a less favourable product mix in Group Insurance.

•In the U.S., APE sales increased 12%, supported by product enhancements and distribution expansion. The

impact of higher sales combined with a less favourable product mix resulted in a 4% increase in NBV and a

1% decrease in new business CSM.

Global WAM net inflows of $0.4 billion in 2Q26, compared with net inflows of $0.9 billion in 2Q25

•Retirement net outflows were $4.9 billion in 2Q26 compared with net inflows of $2.0 billion in 2Q25. The

variance reflects higher retirement plan redemptions, higher net member withdrawals reflecting higher account

balances from market growth in North America, and a large-case plan sponsor sale in the U.S. in 2Q25.

•Retail net outflows were $1.4 billion in 2Q26 compared with net outflows of $3.2 billion in 2Q25. The variance

is primarily driven by higher net flows in mainland China, third-party intermediaries in the U.S., and in our retail

wealth business in Canada, partially offset by lower net flows in Canada active mutual funds through third-

party intermediaries.

•Institutional Asset Management net inflows were $6.7 billion in 2Q26 compared with net inflows of $2.1 billion

in 2Q25. The variance is attributed to higher net flows from fixed income mandates, money market mandates

in mainland China, infrastructure mandates, and private credit mandates in the Manulife | Comvest business,

along with higher net flows from Manulife | CQS products.

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

CSM was $27,263 million as at June 30, 2026

CSM increased $2,294 million compared with December 31, 2025. Organic CSM movement contributed $1,191

million of the increase, representing a 10% annualized growth in our CSM net of NCI balance12, 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 an increase of $1,103 million, driven by

the favourable impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and equity market performance. Post-tax

CSM net of NCI2 was $22,667 million as at June 30, 2026.

(1)Includes the amortization of intangible assets acquired in a business combination, except for amortization of software and distribution agreements. This item is

excluded from core earnings commencing in 3Q25. Prior periods have not been restated as these amounts are not considered material, and use the definition of

core earnings in effect for those periods. See our definition of core earnings in section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” of the 2Q26 MD&A.

Non-GAAP and other financial measures

The Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with 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 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”);  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; common shareholders’ net income; CSM; CSM net of NCI and new business CSM.

Non-GAAP ratios include core return on common shareholders’ equity (“core ROE”); diluted core earnings per

common share (“core EPS”); expense efficiency ratio; adjusted book value per common share; financial leverage

ratio; core EBITDA margin; growth in the CSM net of NCI from organic CSM movement; 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; CSM net of NCI;

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 new business CSM are provided in our 2Q26 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 2Q26 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference.

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; the receipt of required regulatory approvals with respect to the reinsurance

transaction described herein; our ability to execute our digital plans and to deploy future digital use cases, including with
