Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC) reported third-quarter 2026 results, with core earnings of $2,125 million, up 4% on a constant exchange rate basis from the year-earlier quarter. Net income attributed to shareholders was $1,424 million, down 22% on a constant exchange rate basis from $1,799 million, as larger market-experience and Vietnam-related net charges outweighed core earnings growth. Core EPS was $1.24, up 6% on a constant exchange rate basis.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, shareholder net income was $4,681 million, up 15% on a constant exchange rate basis, and core earnings were $5,884 million, up 8% on a constant exchange rate basis. MLI’s LICAT ratio was 136% as of September 30, 2026, and Manulife said it returned $1.3 billion to shareholders during the quarter. Global Wealth and Asset Management had $3.6 billion in net outflows, versus $6.2 billion a year earlier.

Quarterly core earnings growth reflected business growth in Asia and the U.S., improved insurance experience and actuarial updates, partly offset by higher expected credit loss provisions. Market experience was a net charge of $388 million, mainly from lower-than-expected asset returns and derivative and hedge-accounting impacts. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Manulife purchased 24.0 million shares for cancellation for $1,313 million pre-tax under its 2026 NCIB.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

core earnings financial
"Core earnings of $2,125 million"
Core earnings are the profit a business generates from its normal, ongoing operations after removing one-time gains or losses and unusual accounting adjustments; think of it as the recurring paycheck a household can expect each month rather than a one-off inheritance or sale. Investors care because it highlights the company’s sustainable cash-making ability and makes performance easier to compare across periods and with other firms.
contractual service margin financial
"contractual service margin (“CSM”) net of NCI"
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.
Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test regulatory
"Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test (“LICAT”) ratio"
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.
annualized premium equivalent sales financial
"Annualized premium equivalent (“APE”) sales"
expected credit losses financial
"provision for expected credit losses (“ECL”)"
Expected credit losses are an accounting estimate of how much a lender or company expects to lose when borrowers or customers don’t fully pay what they owe, combining how likely nonpayment is with how big the loss would be. Investors care because these estimates determine how much a firm must set aside from earnings as a reserve, directly affecting reported profits, balance-sheet strength and perceptions of credit risk—like setting aside a rainy-day fund for unpaid bills.

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

How much did MFC earn in Q3 2026?

Core earnings were $2,125 million, up 4% on a constant exchange rate basis from Q3 2025. Net income attributed to shareholders was $1,424 million, down 22% on a constant exchange rate basis, and core EPS was $1.24, up 6% on a constant exchange rate basis.

Why did MFC's net income decline in Q3 2026?

MFC attributed the decline to a larger net charge from market experience and a net charge from Vietnam operations, partly offset by core earnings growth. The $388 million market-experience net charge reflected lower-than-expected returns on alternative long-duration assets and public equities, as well as charges from derivatives and hedge-accounting ineffectiveness.

How many shares did MFC repurchase in 2026?

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, MFC purchased 24.0 million shares for cancellation for $1,313 million pre-tax under its 2026 NCIB. It also purchased 2.8 million shares for $143 million pre-tax under a previous NCIB, completed on January 22, 2026.

What were MFC's LICAT ratios in Q3 2026?

MLI’s LICAT ratio was 136% and MFC’s was 127% as of September 30, 2026. MFC’s ratio was 126% as of June 30, 2026; the company attributed the increase to factors affecting MLI’s ratio and the issuance of subordinated debt.

Manulife Financial Corporation – Third Quarter 2026
1
Manulife Financial Corporation (“Manulife” or the “Company”) reported its third quarter results for the
period ended September 30, 2026, delivering record core earnings1 and continued strong momentum in
Asia.
Key highlights for the third quarter of 2026 (“3Q26”) include:
•Core earnings of $2.1 billion, up 4% on a CER basis2 compared with the third quarter of 2025 (“3Q25”)
•Net income attributed to shareholders of $1.4 billion, down $0.4 billion from 3Q25
•Core EPS3 of $1.24, up 6%2 from 3Q25. EPS of $0.82, down 21%2 from 3Q25
•Core ROE3 of 17.8% and ROE of 11.8%
•LICAT ratio4 of 136%
•APE sales5, new business CSM2 and new business value (“NBV”)5 were broadly in line with 3Q25
•Global Wealth and Asset Management (“Global WAM”) net outflows5 of $3.6 billion, compared with $6.2 billion of net
outflows in 3Q25
“We delivered strong third quarter results, achieving record core EPS and 17.8% core ROE, driven by double-digit core
earnings growth in Asia and meaningful contributions from our North American insurance businesses. These results reflect the
disciplined execution of the strategy we launched a year ago and our ability to deliver sustained growth in an uncertain
environment.”
“During the quarter, we expanded customer choice through enhanced investment and protection offerings, completed Manulife
| Comvest’s largest fundraise in the history of Comvest's private credit platform, scaled AI-enabled capabilities that are
delivering measurable outcomes for customers and advisors, and advanced new health and longevity solutions and
partnerships. Together, these actions are strengthening our competitive position, deepening customer relationships, and
creating long-term value for shareholders.”
— Phil Witherington, Manulife President & Chief Executive Officer
“We remained disciplined in our capital deployment during the quarter, returning $1.3 billion to shareholders while maintaining
a strong balance sheet, with a LICAT ratio of 136% and a financial leverage ratio3 below our medium-term target. In addition,
we completed our annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions, resulting in a net favourable impact and reinforcing
the robustness of our reserves.”
“As we continue to invest in growth across our businesses, we also further improved our expense efficiency during the quarter.
Our financial flexibility and consistent execution position us well to sustain long-term value creation.”
— Colin Simpson, Manulife Chief Financial Officer

Strategic Highlights
We are expanding customer access to wealth solutions through product enhancements and expansion
In Canada, we expanded our segregated fund lineup by adding eight new funds and broadened access to eleven existing
funds. The enhanced suite increases investment choice and flexibility for customers and advisors, helping Canadians diversify
their portfolios, build long-term wealth, and pursue their evolving financial goals.
In Global WAM, we raised US$5.4 billion of capital through the close of Comvest Credit Partners VII. This marked Manulife |
Comvest’s largest fundraise in the history of Comvest’s private credit platform1, attracting commitments from both existing and
new institutional investors and expanding the platform’s global investor relationships.
In the U.S., we broadened our ability to meet a wider range of customer protection and long-term planning needs through
enhancements to our indexed universal life and survivorship indexed universal life solutions, and the introduction of three
differentiated term life insurance solutions. Together, these enhancements and new offerings expand our protection portfolio
and provide financial professionals with greater choice and flexibility to address evolving customer needs.
We are scaling and advancing solutions as an AI-powered organization while further enhancing AI governance and
responsible use
We expanded our strategic partnership with Microsoft through a new five-year agreement. The agreement includes extending
Microsoft 365 Copilot to more than 30,000 employees to further enable productivity and innovation, as well as deploying
Microsoft Agent 365 to strengthen enterprise AI governance and drive AI solutions at enterprise scale.
In Asia, we continued to extend proven AI-enabled advisory capabilities into new markets, bringing these capabilities to the
Chinese Mainland and Malaysia to help agents analyze customer and family coverage, identify protection gaps across life,
health, and investment goals, recognize life-event triggers, and prepare for customer meetings. In Malaysia, the tool also
generates personalized talking points, including needs-based analysis questions, and recommends next steps linked to
customers' financial planning goals.
In Global WAM, we completed the rollout of an AI-enabled advisor engagement platform to all external wholesalers and
investment specialists across North America Retail, identifying four times more product opportunities and capturing richer
advisor insights. The platform also improved productivity through automated documentation, reducing meeting administration
and follow-up activities, saving approximately 30 minutes per session.
In the U.S., we scaled our Quick Quote underwriting support tool to automate more than 70% of preliminary assessments, up
from nearly 50% in the first quarter of 2026, rapidly expanding our proven AI-enabled underwriting capability to reduce average
turnaround time and optimize our utilization of underwriting expertise.
We are advancing our health and longevity leadership through innovative strategic partnerships, expanded wellness
offerings and simpler access to healthcare
In Asia, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Ant Health2, setting out a collaboration framework covering
health management services, cross-boundary healthcare support, digital health capabilities and insurance technology. In
October, we launched the first initiative under the MOU, offering cashless direct billing through Alipay for eligible customers at
participating healthcare providers in the Chinese Mainland, making healthcare access easier.
In Canada, we began offering AI-enabled virtual physiotherapy in partnership with Sword®, a global AI health company, to
eligible Group Benefits members on disability with musculoskeletal conditions. This initiative helps address barriers to care
through convenient, personalized support from licensed Canadian clinicians while supporting faster recovery and return-to-
work outcomes.
In the U.S., we strengthened our leadership in longevity and differentiated behavioural insurance by expanding the health and
wellness offerings available through John Hancock Vitality, including Prenuvo’s advanced heart health scan and ŌURA’s latest
smart ring, providing customers access to additional tools and insights to help them live longer, healthier, better lives.
Continued business growth drove record core earnings3
Core earnings of $2.1 billion in 3Q26, up 4% from 3Q25
The increase in core earnings reflected strong business growth in Asia and the U.S., higher revenues in Global WAM,
improved insurance experience, and the net positive impact of 3Q26 updates to actuarial methods and assumptions, partially
offset by increased expected credit loss (“ECL”) provisions and the impact of the eMPF transition in Hong Kong.
•Asia core earnings increased 17%, reflecting continued business growth, the net positive impact of 3Q26 updates to
actuarial methods and assumptions, improved impact of new business and improved claims experience, partially offset by
increased ECL provisions.
•Global WAM core earnings decreased 5%, as higher net fee income from favourable market impacts over the past 12
months and contributions from the Manulife | Comvest business were more than offset by the impact of the eMPF
transition in Hong Kong, higher workforce-related expenses and investment in business growth, favourable tax true-ups in
3Q25, and lower performance fees.

2  For more information on new business value margin (“NBV margin”), see section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” in our 3Q26 MD&A.
3  CSM net of non-controlling interest (“NCI”).
4  Percentage growth / decline in our CSM net of NCI balance from organic CSM movement is stated on a constant exchange rate basis and is a non-GAAP ratio.
This percentage is calculated as the annualized year-to-date change in organic CSM net of NCI divided by the December 31, 2025 CSM net of NCI balance.
5  Post-tax contractual service margin net of NCI (“post-tax CSM net of NCI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure.
Manulife Financial Corporation – Third Quarter 2026

•Canada core earnings increased 3%, reflecting more favourable claims experience in Individual Insurance, higher
Manulife Bank earnings and higher investment spreads, partially offset by unfavourable claims experience in Group
Insurance and increased ECL provisions.
•U.S. core earnings increased 5%, reflecting favourable life insurance claims experience, including net positive impacts
from the 3Q26 updates to actuarial methods and assumptions, business growth and favourable tax items, partially offset
by increased ECL provisions and unfavourable lapse experience.
•Corporate and Other core earnings decreased by $55 million, driven by the non-recurrence of a 3Q25 withholding tax
adjustment and lower earnings on surplus assets, partially offset by favourable tax-related true-ups.
Net income attributed to shareholders of $1.4 billion in 3Q26, $0.4 billion lower compared with 3Q25
The $0.4 billion decrease in net income was driven by a larger net charge on market experience and a net charge from our
Vietnam operations1, partially offset by core earnings growth. The net charge from market experience in 3Q26 reflected lower
than expected returns on alternative long-duration assets, mainly related to private equity, real estate, and farmland
investments, as well as lower than expected returns on public equities and losses from derivatives and hedge accounting
ineffectiveness.
Resilient new business results highlight the benefits of our diversified business model
APE sales, new business CSM and NBV were broadly in line with the prior year
•Asia delivered strong sales growth in Hong Kong and Japan, offset by lower sales in the Chinese Mainland. APE sales,
new business CSM and NBV were broadly in line with 3Q25. NBV margin was 35.3%.2
•In Canada, APE sales increased 3% and NBV was in line with 3Q25, largely driven by higher Individual Insurance sales,
partially offset by lower Group Insurance sales. New business CSM increased 5%, reflecting higher sales volumes in
Individual Insurance and higher margins in Annuities, partially offset by lower margins in Individual Insurance.
•U.S. APE sales were in line with 3Q25, while changes in product mix resulted in a decrease in new business CSM and
NBV of 20% and 13%, respectively.
Global WAM net outflows of $3.6 billion in 3Q26, compared with net outflows of $6.2 billion in 3Q25
•Retirement net outflows were $4.9 billion in 3Q26 compared with net outflows of $1.6 billion in 3Q25. The variance is
attributable to higher retirement plan redemptions in the U.S., higher net member withdrawals reflecting higher account
balances from market growth across all regions, and lower new plan sales in Canada.
•Retail net flows were neutral in 3Q26 compared with net outflows of $3.9 billion in 3Q25. The variance is primarily driven
by higher net flows through our retail wealth business and third-party intermediaries in Canada, and higher net flows in the
Chinese Mainland, partially offset by lower net flows through third-party intermediaries in the U.S.
•Institutional Asset Management net inflows were $1.4 billion in 3Q26 compared with net outflows of $0.7 billion in 3Q25.
The variance reflects higher net flows from fixed income mandates, private credit mandates in the Manulife | Comvest
business, equity and infrastructure mandates, partially offset by lower net flows from money market mandates in the
Chinese Mainland and from Manulife | CQS products.
New business growth continued to drive positive organic CSM movement and a higher CSM balance
CSM3 was $27,318 million as at September 30, 2026
CSM increased $2,349 million compared with December 31, 2025. Organic CSM movement contributed $1,622 million of the
increase, representing a 9% annualized growth in our CSM net of NCI balance4, 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 $727 million, driven by the favourable impacts of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, partially offset by the net unfavourable impact of markets. Post-tax CSM net of NCI5 was $22,701
million as at September 30, 2026.
1  This amount excludes the portion related to NCI.

Annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions
We completed our annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions, which resulted in a net favourable impact of a
$128 million1 decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows. Under International Financial Reporting Standards (as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board) (“IFRS”) 17, the impact of the annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions
is reported in several places. The $128 million decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows was comprised of a decrease in pre-
tax net income attributed to shareholders of $217 million ($175 million post-tax), a decrease in pre-tax net income attributed to
participating policyholders of $4 million ($3 million post-tax), an increase in CSM of $47 million, an increase in pre-tax other
comprehensive income attributed to shareholders of $306 million ($240 million post-tax), and a decrease in pre-tax other
comprehensive income attributed to participating policyholders of $4 million ($2 million post-tax).
The actuarial review this year included valuation model enhancements and assumption updates for U.S. life insurance riders,
morbidity and mortality assumptions in Vietnam, valuation model updates for participating products in Asia, lapse assumptions
for investment-linked products in Singapore, mortality assumptions in our U.S. life insurance business, and other methodology
refinements.

Quarterly profitability
Manulife’s net income attributed to shareholders was $1,424 million in the third quarter of 2026 (“3Q26”) compared with $1,799
million in the third quarter of 2025 (“3Q25”). Net income attributed to shareholders is comprised of core earnings (consisting of
items we believe reflect the underlying earnings capacity of the business), which amounted to $2,125 million in 3Q26
compared with $2,035 million in 3Q25, and items excluded from core earnings, which amounted to a net charge of $701 million
in 3Q26 compared with a net charge of $236 million in 3Q25. The effective tax rate on net income (loss) attributed to
shareholders was 15% in 3Q26 compared with 14% in 3Q25 primarily due to differences in the jurisdictional mix of earnings
and the impact of tax true-ups.
Net income attributed to shareholders in 3Q26 decreased $375 million compared with 3Q25, reflecting a larger net charge
from market experience and a net charge from our Vietnam operations1, partially offset by growth in core earnings. Total
market experience was a net charge of $388 million in 3Q26, primarily from lower-than-expected returns on alternative long-
duration assets (“ALDA”), mainly related to private equity, real estate and farmland investments, lower-than-expected returns
on public equities and a net charge from derivatives and hedge accounting ineffectiveness. The increase in the net charge
from market experience in 3Q26 compared with 3Q25 largely consisted of a net charge from lower-than-expected returns on
public equities in 3Q26 compared to a net gain in 3Q25 and a higher net charge from derivatives and hedge accounting
ineffectiveness, partially offset by a lower net charge from lower-than-expected returns on ALDA.
Core earnings increased $90 million or 4% on a constant exchange rate (“CER”) basis2 compared with 3Q25. The increase in
our insurance business was driven by business growth, primarily in our Asia and U.S. segments, improved net insurance
experience, and the net positive impact of 3Q26 updates to actuarial methods and assumptions, partially offset by an increase
in the provision for expected credit losses (“ECL”) in 3Q26 compared with a release in 3Q253. The improved net insurance
experience reflects improved U.S. life insurance claims experience and more favourable Canada Individual Insurance claims
experience, partially offset by unfavourable U.S. lapse experience and Canada Group Insurance claims experience in 3Q26
compared with favourable experience in 3Q25. Higher Manulife Bank earnings also contributed to the increase in core
earnings. Global Wealth and Asset Management (“Global WAM”) core earnings decreased primarily due to the impact of the
electronic Mandatory Provident Fund (“eMPF”) transition in Hong Kong, higher expenses and lower performance fees, partially
offset by higher net fee income4 and contributions from the Manulife | Comvest business5. In addition, a number of tax-related
items resulted in a net decrease in core earnings. In 3Q26, the items included favourable tax-related true-ups in Corporate and
Other and in the U.S. In 3Q25, the items included a favourable adjustment to the withholding tax accrual following the
announcement of the Comvest acquisition5, and favourable tax true-ups in Global WAM.
The annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions that flow directly through income is discussed in section D2
“Actuarial Methods and Assumptions” below.
1  The reinsurance transaction with the Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (“RGA U.S. Reinsurance Transaction”) closed January 1, 2025. The net
realized loss of $732 million in the first quarter of 2025 from the sale of debt instruments which are classified as fair value through other comprehensive income
(“FVOCI”) arose from the transfer of assets with respect to the RGA U.S. Reinsurance Transaction, and had an offsetting change in other comprehensive
income (“OCI”) attributed to shareholders, resulting in a neutral impact to book value.
2  See section A7 “Other Information” for details on the year-to-date change in the ECL provision for 2026 and 2025.

Year-to-date profitability
Net income attributed to shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $4,681 million compared with
$4,073 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Year-to-date core earnings amounted to $5,884 million in 2026
compared with $5,528 million in the same period of 2025, and items excluded from year-to-date core earnings amounted to a
net charge of $1,203 million in 2026 compared with a net charge of $1,455 million in the same period of 2025. The effective tax
rate on year-to-date net income (loss) attributed to shareholders was 16% in 2026 compared with 14% for the same period in
2025 primarily due to differences in the jurisdictional mix of earnings and the impact of tax true-ups.
Year-to-date net income attributed to shareholders in 2026 increased $608 million compared with the same period of 2025
reflecting a lower net charge from year-to-date market experience and growth in year-to-date core earnings, partially offset by
a net charge from our Vietnam operations. Total year-to-date market experience was a net charge of $853 million in 2026,
primarily related to lower-than-expected returns on ALDA mainly related to private equity, real estate and infrastructure
investments and a net charge from derivatives and hedge accounting ineffectiveness. The lower year-to-date net charge from
market experience in 2026 compared with the same period of 2025 reflects a net realized loss on the sale of debt instruments
of $732 million from the transfer of assets with respect to the RGA U.S. Reinsurance Transaction1 in 2025, partially offset by a
net charge from lower-than-expected returns on public equities in 2026 compared with higher-than-expected returns in 2025.
Year-to-date core earnings in 2026 increased $356 million or 8% compared with the same period of 2025. The increase in our
insurance business was driven by business growth, primarily in our Asia and U.S. segments, the net positive impact of 3Q25
and 3Q26 updates to actuarial methods and assumptions, improved net insurance experience, and a smaller charge in the
provision for ECL in 20262, partially offset by lower expected investment earnings. The improved net insurance experience
reflects improved U.S. claims experience, and the impact of estimated losses from California wildfires recorded in 2025 in our
Property and Casualty (“P&C”) Reinsurance business, partially offset by unfavourable insurance experience in Canada, largely
driven by higher claims along with higher expenses in Group Insurance to support the growing business and transformational
investment to elevate customer experience, unfavourable U.S. lapse experience, and less favourable Asia insurance
experience in 2026. Global WAM core earnings increased from higher net fee income as noted above for the quarter, and
contributions from the Manulife | Comvest business, partially offset by the impact of the eMPF transition in Hong Kong, higher
expenses, and lower performance fees. In addition, the tax-related items noted above for 3Q26 resulted in a net reduction in
2026 year-to-date core earnings.
Core earnings by segment is presented in the following table.

(1)Market experience was a net charge of $388 million in 3Q26, driven by lower-than-expected returns on ALDA, mainly related to private equity, real estate and
farmland investments, lower-than-expected returns from public equity, a net charge from derivatives and hedge accounting ineffectiveness, and net realized
losses from debt instruments which are classified as FVOCI. These were partially offset by a net gain from other investment results. Market experience was a
net charge of $2 million in 3Q25, driven by lower-than-expected returns on ALDA mainly related to private equity, real estate and timber investments, as well as
modest losses from derivatives and hedge accounting ineffectiveness and other investment results. These were partially offset by higher-than-expected returns
on public equity and a modest net realized gain from the sale of debt instruments which are classified as FVOCI.

(3)This item is excluded from core earnings commencing in the third quarter of 2025 (“3Q25”). See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below
for more information.
(4)The 3Q26 net charge of $120 million was mainly related to a net charge of $100 million from a partial impairment of a bancassurance asset and a gain on the
sale of a Vietnam insurance subsidiary, and a GMT true-up related to 2024 of $23 million. The 3Q25 net charge of $12 million was primarily driven by the
Comvest acquisition related costs.

Expense efficiency ratio
We use the expense efficiency ratio to measure progress on our expense management initiatives. It reflects core expenses
which are equal to total expenses1 less those expenses reported in items excluded from core earnings. Total expenses consist
of general expenses, directly attributable maintenance expenses and directly attributable acquisition expenses for products
measured using the premium allocation approach (“PAA”) and for other products without a CSM.
Quarterly expense efficiency ratio
The expense efficiency ratio was 42.7% in 3Q26, compared with 43.1% in 3Q25. The 0.4 percentage point improvement in
the ratio in 3Q26 compared with 3Q25 is attributed to pre-tax core earnings1 growing at a faster rate than core expenses. The
impact of the increase in core expenses mainly reflects higher workforce-related costs, primarily driven by business growth,
and continued strategic investments in transformational efforts, including AI-focused initiatives, partially offset by operational
efficiencies.
Total general expenses increased in 3Q26 compared with 3Q25, driven by the items noted above related to the overall
increase in core expenses, partially offset by a smaller increase in 3Q26 expenses reported in items excluded from core
earnings compared with 3Q25. The expenses reported in items excluded from core earnings in 3Q26 were primarily from the
amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets in Global WAM, and in 3Q25, were mainly related to the acquisition of
Comvest and the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.
1  Percentage growth/declines in APE sales and NBV are stated on a constant exchange rate basis.

Year-to-date expense efficiency ratio
The year-to-date expense efficiency ratio was 44.3% in 2026, compared with 44.8% in the same period of 2025. The 0.5
percentage point improvement in the year-to-date ratio in 2026 compared with the same period of 2025 reflects pre-tax core
earnings growing at a faster rate than core expenses. The year-to-date increase in core expenses was mainly due to similar
factors as noted above for 3Q26.
Total year-to-date general expenses in 2026 increased compared with the same period of 2025, driven by similar items noted
above related to the overall increase in year-to-date core expenses, and an increase in expenses reported in items excluded
from core earnings. Year-to-date general expenses excluded from core earnings in 2026 included similar items noted above for
3Q26, and in 2025 included similar items noted above for 3Q25.

Annualized premium equivalent (“APE”) sales were $2.6 billion in 3Q26, in line1 with 3Q25, new business CSM was $957
million in 3Q26, a decrease of 2% compared with 3Q25 and new business value (“NBV”) was $907 million in 3Q26, in line1
with 3Q25. New business results by segment were as follows:
•Asia APE sales, new business CSM and NBV were broadly in line with 3Q25, as lower sales in the Chinese Mainland
were offset by the strong sales growth in Hong Kong and Japan. NBV margin2 was 35.3% in 3Q26 compared with 39.0%
in 3Q25.
•Canada APE sales increased 3% compared with 3Q25 and NBV was in line with 3Q25, largely driven by higher Individual
Insurance sales, partially offset by lower Group Insurance sales. New business CSM increased 5% compared with 3Q25,
reflecting higher sales volumes in Individual Insurance and higher margins in Annuities, partially offset by lower margins in
Individual Insurance.
•U.S. APE sales were in line with 3Q25, while changes in product mix resulted in a decrease in new business CSM and
NBV of 20% and 13%, respectively.
1  Percentage growth / decline in our CSM net of NCI balance from organic CSM movement is stated on a constant exchange rate basis and is a non-GAAP ratio.
This percentage is calculated as the annualized year-to-date change in organic CSM net of NCI divided by the December 31, 2025 CSM net of NCI balance.

partially offset by higher sales in Individual Insurance and higher margins in Annuities.
•U.S. year-to-date APE sales increased 13% in 2026 compared with the same period of 2025, supported by product
enhancements and distribution expansion. Year-to-date new business CSM and NBV decreased 3% and 6%, respectively,
compared with the same period of 2025, due to product mix, partially offset by higher sales.
CSM net of NCI was $27,318 million as at September 30, 2026, an increase of $2,349 million compared with December 31,
2025. Organic CSM movement was an increase of $1,622 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026,
representing a 9% annualized growth in our CSM net of NCI balance1, 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 $727 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, driven by the favourable
impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the net unfavourable impact of markets.
Global WAM reported net outflows were $3.6 billion in 3Q26 compared with net outflows of $6.2 billion in 3Q25. By business
line, the results were:
•Retirement net outflows were $4.9 billion in 3Q26 compared with net outflows of $1.6 billion in 3Q25. The variance is
attributable to higher retirement plan redemptions in the U.S., higher net member withdrawals reflecting higher account
balances from market growth across all regions, and lower new plan sales in Canada.
•Retail net flows were neutral in 3Q26 compared with net outflows of $3.9 billion in 3Q25. The variance is primarily driven
by higher net flows through our retail wealth business and third-party intermediaries in Canada, and higher net flows in the
Chinese Mainland, partially offset by lower net flows through third-party intermediaries in the U.S.
•Institutional Asset Management net inflows were $1.4 billion in 3Q26 compared with net outflows of $0.7 billion in 3Q25.
The variance reflects higher net flows from fixed income mandates, private credit mandates in the Manulife | Comvest
business, equity and infrastructure mandates, partially offset by lower net flows from money market mandates in the
Chinese Mainland and from Manulife | CQS products.
Year-to-date net outflows were $7.5 billion in 2026, compared with net outflows of $4.8 billion in the same period of 2025. The
increase in year-to-date net outflows was primarily driven by higher net outflows in Retirement, due to higher net member
withdrawals across all regions, and higher plan redemptions and a large-case plan sponsor sale from the second quarter of
2025 (“2Q25”) in the U.S., as well as higher net outflows in Retail, due to lower net flows in active funds through third-party
intermediaries in North America, partially offset by higher net flows through our retail wealth business and from the Chinese
Mainland. The higher net outflows were partially offset by the increase in net inflows in Institutional Asset Management,
primarily driven by higher net flows from private credit mandates in the Manulife | Comvest business, fixed income mandates
and infrastructure mandates.

The Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test (“LICAT”) ratio for The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (“MLI”) as at
September 30, 2026 was 136% compared with 136% as at June 30, 2026. The ratio reflects the positive impact of earnings,
offset by dividends and common share buybacks.
MFC’s LICAT ratio was 127% as at September 30, 2026 compared with 126% as at June 30, 2026, driven by similar factors
that impacted the movement in MLI’s LICAT ratio, as well as the issuance of subordinated debt1. The difference between the
MLI and MFC ratios as at September 30, 2026 was largely due to the $6.5 billion of MFC senior debt outstanding that does not
qualify as available capital for MFC, but based on the form in which it was down-streamed, it qualifies as regulatory capital for
MLI.
MFC’s financial leverage ratio as at September 30, 2026 was 23.0%, an increase of 0.8 percentage points from 22.2% as at
June 30, 2026. The increase was driven by the issuance of subordinated debt1, partially offset by an increase in total equity.
The increase in total equity was driven mainly by total comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends and common share
buybacks.
MFC’s consolidated capital was $88.6 billion as at September 30, 2026, an increase of $7.0 billion compared with $81.6
billion as at December 31, 2025. The growth was driven by an increase in total equity, higher post-tax CSM2, and the
issuances of subordinated debt3. The increase in total equity was driven mainly by total comprehensive income, including the
favourable impact of a weaker Canadian dollar against most foreign currencies, partially offset by dividends and common
share buybacks.
Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities4 were $292.9 billion as at September 30, 2026 compared with
$276.0 billion as at December 31, 2025. The increase of $16.9 billion was primarily driven by the impact of changes in foreign
exchange rates and higher equity markets, partially offset by the impact of higher interest rates.
Book value per common share as at September 30, 2026 was $28.06, an 8% increase compared with $25.91 as at
December 31, 2025. The number of common shares outstanding was 1,654 million as at September 30, 2026, a net decrease
of 23 million shares from December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting common share buybacks. On February 19, 2026, following
approvals from OSFI and the Toronto Stock Exchange, we announced a new Normal Course Issuer Bid (“2026 NCIB”) to
purchase for cancellation up to 42 million shares, representing approximately 2.5% of outstanding common shares. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2026, we purchased for cancellation 24.0 million shares for $1,313 million pre-tax under
this 2026 NCIB and an additional 2.8 million shares for $143 million pre-tax under a previous NCIB that was completed on
January 22, 2026.
Adjusted book value per common share as at September 30, 2026 was $41.78, a 9% increase compared with $38.27 as at
December 31, 2025, driven by an increase in the adjusted book value2 and a lower number of common shares outstanding.
Adjusted book value increased $4.9 billion due to higher total common shareholders’ equity and post-tax CSM, net of NCI. The
increase in total common shareholders’ equity reflects total comprehensive income attributed to common shareholders,
including the favourable impact of a weaker Canadian dollar against most foreign currencies, partially offset by common share
dividends and common share buybacks.
A4Assets under Management and Administration (“AUMA”) 
AUMA as at September 30, 2026 was $1.8 trillion, an increase of 4% compared with December 31, 2025, primarily due to the
favourable impact of equity markets and business growth.
Total invested assets increased 6% compared with December 31, 2025 on an actual exchange rate basis, primarily due to
business growth. Segregated funds net assets increased 6% compared with December 31, 2025 on an actual exchange rate
basis, primarily due to the impact of equity markets.
A5Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates from 3Q25 to 3Q26 increased core earnings by $13 million in 3Q26, primarily due
to a weaker Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased year-to-date
core earnings by $72 million in 2026 compared with the same period of 2025, primarily due to a stronger Canadian dollar
relative to the U.S. dollar. The impact of foreign currency exchange rates on items excluded from core earnings does not
provide relevant information given the nature of those items.

A6Business Highlights
We are expanding customer access to wealth solutions through product enhancements and expansion
In Canada, we expanded our segregated fund lineup by adding eight new funds and broadened access to eleven existing
funds. The enhanced suite increases investment choice and flexibility for customers and advisors, helping Canadians diversify
their portfolios, build long-term wealth, and pursue their evolving financial goals.
In Global WAM, we raised US$5.4 billion of capital through the close of Comvest Credit Partners VII. This marked Manulife |
Comvest’s largest fundraise in the history of Comvest’s private credit platform1 attracting commitments from both existing and
new institutional investors and expanding the platform’s global investor relationships.
In the U.S., we broadened our ability to meet a wider range of customer protection and long-term planning needs through
enhancements to our indexed universal life and survivorship indexed universal life solutions, and the introduction of three
differentiated term life insurance solutions. Together, these enhancements and new offerings expand our protection portfolio
and provide financial professionals with greater choice and flexibility to address evolving customer needs.
We are scaling and advancing solutions as an AI-powered organization while further enhancing AI governance and
responsible use
We expanded our strategic partnership with Microsoft through a new five-year agreement. The agreement includes extending
Microsoft 365 Copilot to more than 30,000 employees to further enable productivity and innovation, as well as deploying
Microsoft Agent 365 to strengthen enterprise AI governance and drive AI solutions at enterprise scale.
In Asia, we continued to extend proven AI-enabled advisory capabilities into new markets, bringing these capabilities to the
Chinese Mainland and Malaysia to help agents analyze customer and family coverage, identify protection gaps across life,
health, and investment goals, recognize life-event triggers, and prepare for customer meetings. In Malaysia, the tool also
generates personalized talking points, including needs-based analysis questions, and recommends next steps linked to
customers' financial planning goals.
In Global WAM, we completed the rollout of an AI-enabled advisor engagement platform to all external wholesalers and
investment specialists across North America Retail, identifying four times more product opportunities and capturing richer
advisor insights. The platform also improved productivity through automated documentation, reducing meeting administration
and follow-up activities, saving approximately 30 minutes per session.
In the U.S., we scaled our Quick Quote underwriting support tool to automate more than 70% of preliminary assessments, up
from nearly 50% in the first quarter of 2026, rapidly expanding our proven AI-enabled underwriting capability to reduce average
turnaround time and optimize our utilization of underwriting expertise.
We are advancing our health and longevity leadership through innovative strategic partnerships, expanded wellness
offerings and simpler access to healthcare
In Asia, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Ant Health2, setting out a collaboration framework covering
health management services, cross-boundary healthcare support, digital health capabilities and insurance technology. In
October, we launched the first initiative under the MOU, offering cashless direct billing through Alipay for eligible customers at
participating healthcare providers in the Chinese Mainland, making healthcare access easier.
In Canada, we began offering AI-enabled virtual physiotherapy in partnership with Sword®, a global AI health company, to
eligible Group Benefits members on disability with musculoskeletal conditions. This initiative helps address barriers to care
through convenient, personalized support from licensed Canadian clinicians while supporting faster recovery and return-to-
work outcomes.
In the U.S., we strengthened our leadership in longevity and differentiated behavioural insurance by expanding the health and
wellness offerings available through John Hancock Vitality, including Prenuvo’s advanced heart health scan and ŌURA’s latest
smart ring, providing customers access to additional tools and insights to help them live longer, healthier, better lives.

The increase in the ECL provision of $34 million in 3Q26 was in line with our expectations. The reduction in the ECL provision
of $35 million in 3Q25 was primarily related to parameter and model updates, reflecting the favourable macroeconomic impact
of strong equity market growth.
The year-to-date increase in the ECL provision of $67 million post-tax in 2026 was due to credit migration and the impact of net
new originations, partially offset by positive parameter and model updates from the favourable macroeconomic impact of 2026
equity market growth. The year-to-date increase in the provision of $86 million post-tax in the same period of 2025 was driven
by credit migration of certain below-investment grade loan investments in the U.S.

(2)This item is a non-GAAP financial measure. See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below for more information.
Asia’s net income attributed to shareholders was $713 million in 3Q26 compared with $895 million in 3Q25. Net income
attributed to shareholders is comprised of core earnings, which were $890 million in 3Q26 compared with $759 million in
3Q25, and items excluded from core earnings, which amounted to a net charge of $177 million in 3Q26 compared with a net
gain of $136 million in 3Q25. See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below, for a reconciliation of quarterly
core earnings to net income (loss) attributed to shareholders and section A1 “Profitability” above, for explanations of the items
excluded from core earnings. The change in core earnings expressed in Canadian dollars was due to the factors described
below. In addition, the change in core earnings reflects a net $1 million favourable impact due to changes in various foreign
currency exchange rates versus the Canadian dollar.
Expressed in U.S. dollars, the presentation currency of the segment, net income attributed to shareholders was US$510
million in 3Q26 compared with US$649 million in 3Q25. Core earnings were US$635 million in 3Q26 compared with US$550
million in 3Q25, and items excluded from core earnings were a net charge of US$125 million in 3Q26 compared with a net gain
of US$99 million in 3Q25.
Core earnings in 3Q26 increased 17% compared with 3Q25, driven by an increase in expected earnings on insurance
contracts and higher expected investment earnings, reflecting business growth, improved impact of new business and
improved claims experience, partially offset by an increase in the ECL provision in 3Q26 compared with a release in 3Q25.
The increase in expected earnings on insurance contracts also reflects the net positive impact of 3Q26 updates to actuarial
methods and assumptions.
Year-to-date net income attributed to shareholders was US$1,711 million in 2026 compared with US$1,684 million in the same
period of 2025. Year-to-date core earnings were US$1,849 million in 2026, an increase of 20% compared with US$1,562
million in 2025, mainly due to an increase in expected earnings on insurance contracts and higher expected investment
earnings, reflecting business growth, partially offset by less favourable insurance experience. The increase in expected
earnings on insurance contracts also reflects the net positive impacts of 3Q25 and 3Q26 updates to actuarial methods and
assumptions. Items excluded from year-to-date core earnings were a net charge of US$138 million in 2026 compared with a
net gain of US$122 million in the same period of 2025. See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below, for a
reconciliation of year-to-date core earnings to year-to-date net income (loss) attributed to shareholders. Expressed in
Canadian dollars, year-to-date core earnings reflect a net $52 million unfavourable impact of changes in various foreign
currency exchange rates versus the Canadian dollar.
APE sales were US$1,455 million in 3Q26, in line with 3Q25, as lower sales in the Chinese Mainland were offset by growth in
Hong Kong and Japan. Chinese Mainland APE sales decreased US$265 million or 71% compared with strong sales in 3Q25,

reflecting lower sales of participating savings products in the bancassurance and agency channels. Hong Kong APE sales
increased US$240 million or 45%, primarily from higher sales of savings products in both the bancassurance and broker
channels. Japan APE sales increased US$29 million or 39%, driven by growth in investment-linked and wealth accumulation
products in the broker and agency channels. Year-to-date APE sales in Asia were US$4,550 million in 2026, an increase of
US$453 million or 10% compared with the same period of 2025, reflecting higher sales in Hong Kong across all channels, as
well as higher sales in the broker and agency channels in Japan, and higher sales in Singapore across all channels, partially
offset by lower sales in the bancassurance and agency channels in the Chinese Mainland.
New business CSM was US$518 million in 3Q26, in line with 3Q25, as growth in Hong Kong and Japan was offset by a
decline in the Chinese Mainland and Singapore. Hong Kong new business CSM increased US$66 million or 32%, supported
by higher sales volumes, partially offset by product mix. Japan new business CSM increased US$19 million or 47%, primarily
attributable to higher sales volumes. Chinese Mainland new business CSM decreased US$50 million or 64%, driven by lower
sales volumes, partially offset by product mix. Singapore new business CSM decreased US$21 million or 17%, primarily driven
by product mix. Asia’s year-to-date new business CSM of US$1,664 million in 2026 increased 11% compared with the same
period of 2025, primarily attributable to higher sales volumes.
NBV was US$491 million in 3Q26, in line with 3Q25, as growth in Hong Kong and Japan was offset by a decline in the
Chinese Mainland and Singapore. NBV margin was 35.3% in 3Q26 compared with 39.0% in 3Q25. Hong Kong NBV increased
US$37 million or 14%, supported by higher sales volumes, partially offset by product mix. Japan NBV increased US$25 million
or 89%, primarily attributable to higher sales volumes. Chinese Mainland NBV decreased US$42 million or 70%, reflecting
lower sales volumes, partially offset by product mix. Singapore NBV decreased US$13 million or 12%, primarily driven by
product mix. Asia’s year-to-date NBV of US$1,530 million in 2026, increased 9% compared with the same period of 2025,
primarily driven by higher sales volumes.
CSM net of NCI was US$13,911 million as at September 30, 2026, an increase of US$960 million compared with December
31, 2025. Organic CSM movement was an increase of US$894 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026,
representing a 9% annualized growth in our CSM net of NCI balance, driven by the impact of new business and interest
accretion, partially offset by amortization recognized in core earnings. Inorganic CSM movement was an increase of US$66
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, largely due to the net impact of 3Q26 updates to actuarial methods
and assumptions that adjust the CSM, as well as the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against certain Asian currencies, partially
offset by the net unfavourable impact of markets.
Assets under management were US$171.2 billion as at September 30, 2026, an increase of 7% compared with December
31, 2025, driven by the impact of business growth and favourable year-to-date equity market performance on invested assets
and segregated funds net assets, partially offset by the impact of higher interest rates.
Business highlights – In 3Q26, we:
•Signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Ant Health1, setting out a collaboration framework covering health
management services, cross-boundary healthcare support, digital health capabilities and insurance technology. In
October, we launched the first initiative under the MOU, offering cashless direct billing through Alipay for eligible
customers at participating healthcare providers in the Chinese Mainland, making healthcare access easier;
•Advanced our longevity movement in Singapore by hosting the first ManulifeMOVE Carnival, building on last year's
inaugural Longevity Symposium. The event brought together approximately 3,000 customers, partners and distributors to
promote longevity preparedness through expert-led discussions and well-being activities. We also partnered with
Singapore’s Breast Cancer Foundation and Parkway Radiology to offer free breast cancer screening for women of all
ages, helping close access gaps for younger women and underserved groups and supporting early detection; and
•Continued to extend proven AI-enabled advisory capabilities into new markets, bringing these capabilities to the Chinese
Mainland and Malaysia to help agents analyze customer and family coverage, identify protection gaps across life, health,
and investment goals, recognize life-event triggers, and prepare for customer meetings. In Malaysia, the tool also
generates personalized talking points, including needs-based analysis questions, and recommends next steps linked to
customers' financial planning goals.

(2)This item is a non-GAAP financial measure. See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below for more information.
Canada’s net income attributed to shareholders was $205 million in 3Q26 compared with $449 million in 3Q25. Net income
attributed to shareholders is comprised of core earnings, which were $440 million in 3Q26 compared with $428 million in
3Q25, and items excluded from core earnings, which amounted to a net charge of $235 million in 3Q26 compared with a net
gain of $21 million in 3Q25. See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below, for a reconciliation of quarterly
core earnings to net income (loss) attributed to shareholders and section A1 “Profitability” above, for explanations of the items
excluded from core earnings.
Core earnings in 3Q26 increased $12 million or 3% compared with 3Q25, reflecting more favourable claims experience in
Individual Insurance, higher Manulife Bank earnings, and higher expected investment earnings. This was partially offset by
unfavourable claims experience in Group Insurance compared with favourable experience in 3Q25, and an increase in the
ECL provision in 3Q26 compared with a release in 3Q25.
Year-to-date net income attributed to shareholders was $749 million in 2026 compared with $1,061 million in the same period
of 2025. Year-to-date core earnings were $1,171 million in 2026 compared with $1,221 million in the same period of 2025.
Year-to-date core earnings decreased $50 million or 4%, driven by unfavourable insurance experience in Group Insurance in
2026 compared with favourable experience in the same period of 2025. The variance in insurance experience was largely
driven by higher claims, along with higher expenses to support the growing business and transformational investment to
elevate customer experience. This was partially offset by higher expected investment earnings, favourable insurance
experience in Individual Insurance compared with unfavourable experience in the same period of 2025, and an ECL provision
release in 2026 compared with an increase in the provision in the same period of 2025. Year-to-date core earnings also
included the net favourable impact of 3Q25 updates to actuarial methods and assumptions. Items excluded from year-to-date
core earnings were a net charge of $422 million in 2026 compared with a net charge of $160 million for the same period of
2025. See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below, for a reconciliation of year-to-date core earnings to
year-to-date net income (loss) attributed to shareholders.
APE sales of $384 million in 3Q26 increased $10 million, or 3%, compared with 3Q25.
•Individual Insurance APE sales of $209 million increased $48 million or 30%, reflecting a large sale in affinity markets and
higher participating life insurance sales.
•Group Insurance APE sales of $112 million decreased $43 million or 28%, due to lower sales across all group benefits
markets.
•Annuities APE sales of $63 million increased $5 million or 9%, due to higher segregated fund sales.
Year-to-date APE sales were $1,226 million in 2026, in line with the same period of 2025, with growth in participating life
insurance sales and a large sale in affinity markets offset by lower sales across all group benefits markets.
CSM was $4,351 million as at September 30, 2026, a decrease of $108 million compared with December 31, 2025. Organic
CSM movement was an increase of $27 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, representing 1% annualized
growth in our CSM balance, driven by the impact of new business and interest accretion, partially offset by amortization
recognized in core earnings and net unfavourable insurance experience. Inorganic CSM movement was a decrease of $135
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily reflecting the net unfavourable impact of markets, partially
offset by the net impact of 3Q26 updates to actuarial methods and assumptions that adjust the CSM.
Manulife Bank average net lending assets were $32.2 billion for the quarter ending September 30, 2026, up $2.7 billion, or
9%, compared with the quarter ending December 31, 2025, primarily due to growth in residential lending.
Assets under management were $154.7 billion as at September 30, 2026, an increase of $2.0 billion, or 1%, compared with
December 31, 2025, driven by the net favourable impact of markets, and business growth in total invested assets, partially
offset by net outflows in segregated funds net assets.

(1)See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of quarterly core earnings to net income (loss) attributed to shareholders.
U.S.’s net income attributed to shareholders was $192 million in 3Q26 compared with a net loss attributed to shareholders
of $75 million in 3Q25. Net income (loss) attributed to shareholders is comprised of core earnings, which were $356 million in
3Q26 compared with $332 million in 3Q25, and items excluded from core earnings, which amounted to a net charge of $164
million in 3Q26 compared with a net charge of $407 million in 3Q25. See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial
Measures” below, for a reconciliation of quarterly core earnings to net income (loss) attributed to shareholders and section A1
“Profitability” above, for explanations of the items excluded from core earnings. The change in core earnings expressed in
Canadian dollars was due to the factors described below. In addition, the change in core earnings reflected a $6 million
favourable impact from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared with the Canadian dollar.
Expressed in U.S. dollars, the functional currency of the segment, the net income attributed to shareholders was US$137
million in 3Q26 compared with a net loss attributed to shareholders of US$54 million in 3Q25. Core earnings were US$254
million in 3Q26 compared with US$241 million in 3Q25 and items excluded from core earnings were a net charge of US$117
million in 3Q26 compared with a net charge of US$295 million in 3Q25.
Core earnings in 3Q26 increased US$13 million or 5% compared with 3Q25, reflecting favourable life insurance claims
experience in 3Q26 compared with unfavourable experience in 3Q25, an increase in expected earnings on insurance
contracts, reflecting business growth, and more favourable tax items. The increase was partially offset by an increase in the
ECL provision in 3Q26 compared with a release in 3Q25, unfavourable lapse experience in 3Q26 compared with favourable
experience in 3Q25, and lower expected investment earnings. Investment income on allocated capital also increased core
earnings by US$6 million on a pre-tax basis compared with 3Q25. Included in the 3Q26 insurance experience was the net
positive impact of 3Q26 updates to actuarial methods and assumptions.
Year-to-date net income attributed to shareholders was US$348 million in 2026 compared with year-to-date net loss attributed
to shareholders of US$425 million in the same period of 2025. Year-to-date core earnings were US$713 million in 2026
compared with US$633 million in the same period of 2025. Year-to-date core earnings increased US$80 million mainly due to
favourable life and long-term care (“LTC”) claims experience in 2026 compared with unfavourable experience in the same
period of 2025 and an increase in expected earnings on insurance contracts, partially offset by lower expected investment
earnings and unfavourable lapse experience in 2026 compared with favourable experience in the same period of 2025.
Investment income on allocated capital also increased year-to-date core earnings by US$19 million on a pre-tax basis in 2026
compared with 2025. Included in the 3Q26 insurance experience was the net positive impact of 3Q26 updates to actuarial
methods and assumptions. Items excluded from year-to-date core earnings were a net charge of US$365 million in 2026
compared with a net charge of US$1,058 million for the same period of 2025. See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial
Measures” below, for a reconciliation of year-to-date core earnings to year-to-date net income (loss) attributed to shareholders.
1  IFRS reserves figure of C$3.2 billion at 80% quota share and based on June 30, 2026 position using an exchange rate of US$1.00 to C$1.41875. IFRS reserves
reflect IFRS 17 current estimate of present value of future cash flows + risk adjustment + contractual service margin.
2  The effective date of the reinsurance is July 1, 2026. The financial impact of the transaction will be reflected in our Q4 2026 results. The impact of a change in
reserves will be reported through the contractual service margin, net income attributed to shareholders, and other comprehensive income attributed to
shareholders. The cumulative reduction in LTC morbidity sensitivity across all three transactions is as of the respective announcements. The sensitivity for this
transaction is based on June 30, 2026 position. See section E4 “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.
Manulife Financial Corporation – Third Quarter 2026

Expressed in Canadian dollars, year-to-date core earnings reflected a $9 million unfavourable impact from the weakening of
the U.S. dollar compared with the Canadian dollar.
APE sales of US$147 million in 3Q26 were in line with 3Q25. Year-to-date APE sales in 2026 of US$447 million increased
13% compared with the same period of 2025, supported by product enhancements and distribution expansion.
CSM was US$2,268 million as at September 30, 2026, an increase of US$255 million compared with December 31, 2025.
Organic CSM movement was an increase of US$255 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, representing
17% annualized growth in our CSM balance, driven by the impact of new business, net favourable insurance experience and
interest accretion, partially offset by amortization recognized in core earnings. The net favourable insurance experience was
mainly due to LTC experience. Inorganic CSM movement was nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as the net
impact of 3Q26 updates to actuarial methods and assumptions that adjust the CSM was offset by the net favourable impact of
markets and reinsurance transactions.
Assets under management were US$141.4 billion as at September 30, 2026, a decrease of 3% or US$4.4 billion compared
with December 31, 2025. The decrease was largely driven by the impact of interest rates on total invested assets.
Business highlights – In 3Q26, we:
•Broadened our ability to meet a wider range of customer protection and long-term planning needs through enhancements
to our indexed universal life and survivorship indexed universal life solutions, and the introduction of three differentiated
term life insurance solutions. Together, these enhancements and new offerings expand our protection portfolio and provide
financial professionals with greater choice and flexibility to address evolving customer needs;
•Scaled our Quick Quote underwriting support tool to automate more than 70% of preliminary assessments, up from nearly
50% in the first quarter of 2026, rapidly expanding our proven AI-enabled underwriting capability to reduce average
turnaround time and optimize our utilization of underwriting expertise;
•Strengthened our leadership in longevity and differentiated behavioural insurance by expanding the health and wellness
offerings available through John Hancock Vitality, including Prenuvo’s advanced heart health scan and ŌURA’s latest
smart ring, providing customers access to additional tools and insights to help them live longer, healthier, better lives; and
•Entered into an agreement with Munich American Reassurance Company to reinsure the biometric risk on a block of long-
term care (“LTC”) policies with US$2.3 billion of reserves.1 The transaction, which closed on October 1, 2026, marks our
third LTC reinsurance transaction in under three years and first on a standalone LTC block, cumulatively reducing LTC
morbidity sensitivity by 24% and further strengthening our risk profile.2

Global WAM’s net income attributed to shareholders was $463 million in 3Q26 compared with $523 million in 3Q25. Net
income attributed to shareholders is comprised of core earnings, which were $503 million in 3Q26 compared with $525 million
in 3Q25, and items excluded from core earnings, which amounted to a net charge of $40 million in 3Q26 compared with a net
charge of $2 million in 3Q25. See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below, for a reconciliation of
quarterly core earnings to net income (loss) attributed to shareholders and section A1 “Profitability” above, for explanations of
the items excluded from core earnings.
1 The largest fundraise in the history of Comvest Credit Partners, including prior to its combination with Manulife.
Manulife Financial Corporation – Third Quarter 2026
20
Core earnings decreased $22 million, or 5% compared with 3Q25, driven by the impact of the eMPF transition in Hong Kong,
higher workforce-related expenses and investment in business growth, favourable tax true-ups in 3Q25, and lower
performance fees in Institutional Asset Management. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in net fee income from
higher average AUMA, mainly reflecting the favourable impact of markets over the past 12 months and contributions from the
Manulife | Comvest business.
Core EBITDA was $677 million in 3Q26, in line with 3Q25, driven by similar factors as noted above. Core EBITDA margin was
29.6% in 3Q26, a decrease of 130 basis points compared with 3Q25, primarily driven by the impact from the eMPF transition
in Hong Kong. See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below, for more information on core EBITDA and
core EBITDA margin.
Year-to-date net income attributed to shareholders was $1,380 million in 2026 compared with $1,448 million in the same period
of 2025, and year-to-date core earnings were $1,456 million in 2026 compared with $1,442 million in the same period of 2025.
The increase in year-to-date core earnings of $14 million or 2% was mainly driven by an increase in net fee income from
higher average AUMA, mainly due to the favourable impact of markets over the past 12 months, and contributions from the
Manulife | Comvest business, partially offset by the impact of the eMPF transition in Hong Kong, higher workforce-related
expenses and investment in business growth, lower performance fees in Institutional Asset Management, and favourable tax
true-ups in 3Q25. Items excluded from year-to-date core earnings were a net charge of $76 million in 2026 compared with a
net gain of $6 million in the same period of 2025. See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below, for a
reconciliation of year-to-date core earnings to year-to-date net income (loss) attributed to shareholders.
Year-to-date core EBITDA was $1,993 million in 2026, an increase of 6% compared with the same period of 2025 and core
EBITDA margin was 30.0% in 2026, an increase of 20 bps compared with the same period of 2025, both driven by similar
factors as noted above for year-to-date core earnings. See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below, for
additional information on year-to-date core EBITDA and year-to-date core EBITDA margin.
Net outflows were $3.6 billion in 3Q26, compared with net outflows of $6.2 billion in 3Q25. By business line, the results were:
•Retirement net outflows were $4.9 billion in 3Q26 compared with net outflows of $1.6 billion in 3Q25. The variance is
attributable to higher retirement plan redemptions in the U.S., higher net member withdrawals reflecting higher account
balances from market growth across all regions, and lower new plan sales in Canada.
•Retail net flows were neutral in 3Q26 compared with net outflows of $3.9 billion in 3Q25. The variance is primarily driven
by higher net flows through our retail wealth business and third-party intermediaries in Canada, and higher net flows in the
Chinese Mainland, partially offset by lower net flows through third-party intermediaries in the U.S.
•Institutional Asset Management net inflows were $1.4 billion in 3Q26 compared with net outflows of $0.7 billion in 3Q25.
The variance reflects higher net flows from fixed income mandates, private credit mandates in the Manulife | Comvest
business, equity and infrastructure mandates, partially offset by lower net flows from money market mandates in the
Chinese Mainland and from Manulife | CQS products.
Year-to-date net outflows were $7.5 billion in 2026, compared with net outflows of $4.8 billion in the same period of 2025. The
increase in year-to-date net outflows was primarily driven by higher net outflows in Retirement, due to higher net member
withdrawals across all regions, and higher plan redemptions and a large-case plan sponsor sale from the second quarter of
2025 (“2Q25”) in the U.S., as well as higher net outflows in Retail, due to lower net flows in active funds through third-party
intermediaries in North America, partially offset by higher net flows through our retail wealth business and from the Chinese
Mainland. The higher net outflows were partially offset by the increase in net inflows in Institutional Asset Management,
primarily driven by higher net flows from private credit mandates in the Manulife | Comvest business, fixed income mandates
and infrastructure mandates.
Assets under management and administration of $1,197.5 billion as at September 30, 2026 increased 5% on a CER basis
compared with December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the favourable impact of equity markets, partially
offset by year-to-date net outflows. As at September 30, 2026, Global WAM also managed $237.4 billion in assets for the
Company’s other reporting segments. Including those assets, AUMA managed by Global WAM were $1,434.9 billion compared
with $1,341.0 billion as at December 31, 2025.
Included in Global WAM’s AUMA, segregated funds net assets were $335.8 billion as at September 30, 2026, an increase of
7% compared with December 31, 2025 on an actual exchange rate basis, driven by strong equity markets and favourable
foreign currency exchange rates.
Business highlights – In 3Q26, we:
•Raised US$5.4 billion of capital through the close of Comvest Credit Partners VII. This marked Manulife | Comvest’s
largest fundraise in the history of Comvest’s private credit platform1, attracting commitments from both existing and new
institutional investors and expanding the platform’s global investor relationships;
•Completed the rollout of an AI-enabled advisor engagement platform to all external wholesalers and investment specialists
across North America Retail, identifying four times more product opportunities and capturing richer advisor insights. The
platform also improved productivity through automated documentation, reducing meeting administration and follow-up
activities, saving approximately 30 minutes per session; and

Corporate and Other is comprised of investment performance on assets backing capital, net of amounts allocated to
operating segments; financing costs; costs incurred by the corporate office related to shareholder activities (not allocated to
the operating segments); our Property and Casualty (“P&C”) Reinsurance business; as well as our run-off reinsurance
operation including variable annuities and accident and health. In addition, for segment reporting purposes, consolidations and
eliminations of transactions between operating segments are also included in Corporate and Other earnings.
Corporate and Other reported net loss attributed to shareholders of $149 million in 3Q26 compared with a net income
attributed to shareholders of $7 million in 3Q25. Net income (loss) attributed to shareholders is comprised of core earnings,
which was a core loss of $64 million in 3Q26 compared with a core loss of $9 million in 3Q25, and the items excluded from
core earnings (loss) which amounted to a net charge of $85 million in 3Q26 compared with a net gain of $16 million in 3Q25.
See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below, for a reconciliation of quarterly core earnings to net income
(loss) attributed to shareholders and section A1 “Profitability” above, for explanations of the items excluded from core earnings.
The $55 million increase in core loss was primarily due to non-recurrence of the 3Q25 adjustment to the withholding tax
accrual following the announcement of the Comvest Credit Partners acquisition, and lower earnings on surplus assets
reflecting this acquisition, partially offset by favourable tax-related true-ups.
The year-to-date net loss attributed to shareholders was $301 million in 2026 compared with a net loss attributed to
shareholders of $177 million in the same period of 2025. The year-to-date core loss was $294 million in 2026 compared with a
core loss of $206 million in the same period of 2025. The increase in the year-to-date core loss of $88 million was primarily
due to similar factors as noted above for the quarter and higher expenses driven by higher workforce-related costs and
continued strategic investments in transformation efforts, including AI-focused initiatives, partially offset by the impact of
estimated losses from California wildfires recorded in 2025 in our P&C Reinsurance business. Items excluded from the year-
to-date core loss were a net charge of $7 million in 2026 compared with a net gain of $29 million in the same period of 2025.
See section E3 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” below, for a reconciliation of year-to-date core earnings to year-to-
date net income (loss) attributed to shareholders.

CRISK MANAGEMENT AND RISK FACTORS UPDATE
This section provides an update to our risk management practices and risk factors outlined in the 2025 MD&A.
C1Variable Annuity and Segregated Fund Guarantees Sensitivities and Risk Exposure
Measures
As described in the MD&A in our 2025 Annual Report, guarantees on variable annuity products and segregated funds may
include one or more of death, maturity, income and withdrawal guarantees. Variable annuity and segregated fund guarantees
are contingent and only payable upon the occurrence of the relevant event, if fund values at that time are below guarantee
values. Depending on future equity market levels, liabilities on current in-force business are expected to be recognized
primarily within the next 20 years.
We seek to mitigate a portion of the risks embedded in our retained (i.e., net of reinsurance) variable annuity and segregated
fund guarantee business through the combination of our dynamic and macro hedging strategies (see section C3 “Publicly
Traded Equity Performance Risk Sensitivities and Exposure Measures” below). The table below shows selected information
regarding the Company’s variable annuity and segregated fund investment-related guarantees, gross and net of reinsurance.

(1)Guarantee Value and Net Amount at Risk in respect of guaranteed minimum withdrawal business in Canada and the U.S. reflect the time value of money of
these claims.
(2)Amount at risk (in-the-money amount) is the excess of guarantee values over fund values on all policies where the guarantee value exceeds the fund value. For
guaranteed minimum death benefit, the amount at risk is defined as the current guaranteed minimum death benefit in excess of the current account balance
and assumes that all claims are immediately payable. In practice, guaranteed death benefits are contingent and only payable upon the eventual death of
policyholders if fund values remain below guarantee values. For guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, the amount at risk assumes that the benefit is paid as
a lifetime annuity commencing at the earliest contractual income start age. These benefits are also contingent and only payable at scheduled maturity/income
start dates in the future, if the policyholders are still living and have not terminated their policies and fund values remain below guarantee values. For all
guarantees, the amount at risk is floored at zero at the single contract level.
(3)The amount at risk net of reinsurance at September 30, 2026 was $1,239 million (December 31, 2025 – $1,346 million) of which: US$239 million (December
31, 2025 – US$244 million) was on our U.S. business, $744 million (December 31, 2025 – $835 million) was on our Canadian business, US$87 million
(December 31, 2025 – US$80 million) was on our Japan business and US$22 million (December 31, 2025 – US$49 million) was related to Asia (other than
Japan) and our run-off reinsurance business.
(4)Where a policy includes both living and death benefits, the guarantee in excess of the living benefit is included in the death benefit category as outlined in
footnote 5.
(5)Death benefits include stand-alone guarantees and guarantees in excess of living benefit guarantees where both death and living benefits are provided on a
policy.

C2Caution Related to Sensitivities
In this document, we provide sensitivities and risk exposure measures for certain risks. These include sensitivities due to
specific changes in market prices and interest rate levels projected using internal models as at a specific date, and are
measured relative to a starting level reflecting the Company’s assets and liabilities at that date. The risk exposures measure
the impact of changing one factor at a time and assume that all other factors remain unchanged. Actual results can differ
materially from these estimates for a variety of reasons including the interaction among these factors when more than one
changes; changes in liabilities from updates to non-economic assumptions, changes in business mix, effective tax rates and
other market factors; and the general limitations of our internal models. For these reasons, the sensitivities should only be
viewed as directional estimates of the underlying sensitivities for the respective factors based on the assumptions outlined
below. Given the nature of these calculations, we cannot provide assurance that the actual impact on CSM net of NCI, net
income attributed to shareholders, other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders, and total comprehensive income
attributed to shareholders or on MLI’s LICAT ratio will be as indicated.
Market movements affect LICAT capital sensitivities through the available capital, surplus allowance and required capital
components of the regulatory capital framework. The LICAT available capital component is primarily affected by total
comprehensive income and the CSM net of NCI.
C3Publicly Traded Equity Performance Risk Sensitivities and Exposure Measures
As outlined in our 2025 Annual Report, we have net exposure to equity risk through asset and liability mismatches; our
guarantee dynamic hedging strategy is not designed to completely offset the sensitivity of insurance contract liabilities to all
risks associated with the guarantees embedded in these products. The macro hedging strategy is designed to mitigate public
equity risk arising from guarantees not dynamically hedged and from other unhedged exposures in our insurance contracts
(see page 65 of our 2025 Annual Report).
Changes in public equity prices may impact other items including, but not limited to, asset-based fees earned on assets under
management and administration or policyholder account value, and estimated profits and amortization of deferred policy
acquisition and other costs. These items are not hedged.
The tables below include the potential impacts from an immediate 10%, 20% and 30% change in market values of publicly
traded equities on net income attributed to shareholders, CSM net of NCI, other comprehensive income attributed to
shareholders, and total comprehensive income attributed to shareholders. The potential impact is shown after taking into
account the impact of the change in markets on the hedge assets. While we cannot reliably estimate the amount of the change
in dynamically hedged guarantee liabilities that will not be offset by the change in the dynamic hedge assets, we make certain
assumptions for the purposes of estimating the impact on net income attributed to shareholders.
This estimate assumes that the performance of the dynamic hedging program would not completely offset the gain/loss from
the dynamically hedged variable annuity and segregated fund guarantee liabilities. It assumes that the hedge assets are based
on the actual position at the period end, and that equity hedges in the dynamic program offset 95% of the hedged variable
annuity liability movement that occurs as a result of market changes.
It is also important to note that these estimates are illustrative, and that the dynamic and macro hedging programs may
underperform these estimates, particularly during periods of high realized volatility and/or periods where both interest rates
and equity market movements are unfavourable. The method used for deriving sensitivity information and significant
assumptions did not change from the previous period.
Changes in equity markets impact our available and required components of the LICAT ratio. The second set of tables shows
the potential impact to MLI’s LICAT ratio resulting from changes in public equity market values.

(2)For variable annuity contracts measured under the variable fee approach (“VFA”), the impact of financial risk and changes in interest rates adjusts CSM, unless
the risk mitigation option applies. The Company has elected to apply risk mitigation and therefore, a portion of the impact is reported in net income attributed to
shareholders instead of adjusting the CSM. If the CSM for a group of variable annuity contracts is exhausted, the full impact is reported in net income attributed
to shareholders.
(3)This impact for general fund equity investments includes general fund investments supporting our insurance contract liabilities and investment in seed money
investments (in segregated and mutual funds made by Global WAM segment). The impact does not include any potential impact on public equity weightings.
The participating policy funds are largely self-supporting and generate no material impact on net income attributed to shareholders as a result of changes in
equity markets.
(4)Includes the impact of assumed rebalancing of equity hedges in the macro and dynamic hedging program. The impact of dynamic hedging represents the
impact of equity hedges offsetting 95% of the dynamically hedged variable annuity liability movement that occurs as a result of market changes, but does not
include any impact in respect of other sources of hedge accounting ineffectiveness (e.g., fund tracking, realized volatility and equity, and interest rate
correlations different from expected among other factors).

C4Interest Rate and Spread Risk Sensitivities and Exposure Measures
As at September 30, 2026, we estimated the sensitivity of our net income attributed to shareholders to a 50 basis point parallel
decline in interest rates to be a benefit of $100 million, and to a 50 basis point parallel increase in interest rates to be a charge
of $100 million.
The table below shows the potential impacts from a 50 basis point parallel move in interest rates on CSM net of NCI, net
income attributed to shareholders, other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders, and total comprehensive income
attributed to shareholders. This includes a change in current government, swap and corporate rates for all maturities across all
markets with no change in credit spreads between government, swap and corporate rates. Also shown separately are the
potential impacts from a 50 basis point parallel move in corporate spreads and a 20 basis point parallel move in swap spreads.
The impacts reflect the net impact of movements in asset values in liability and surplus segments and movements in the
present value of cash flows for insurance contracts including those with cash flows that vary with the returns of underlying
items where the present value is measured by stochastic modelling. The method used for deriving sensitivity information and
significant assumptions did not change from the previous period.
The disclosed interest rate sensitivities reflect the accounting designations of our financial assets and corresponding insurance
contract liabilities. In most cases these assets and liabilities are designated as fair value through other comprehensive income
and as a result, impacts from changes to interest rates are largely in other comprehensive income. There are also changes in
interest rates that impact the CSM for VFA contracts that relate to amounts that are not passed through to policyholders. In
addition, changes in interest rates impact net income as it relates to derivatives not in hedge accounting relationships and on
VFA contracts where the CSM has been exhausted.
The disclosed interest rate sensitivities assume no hedge accounting ineffectiveness, as our hedge accounting programs are
optimized for parallel movements in interest rates, leading to immaterial net income impacts under these shocks. However, the
actual hedge accounting ineffectiveness is sensitive to non-parallel interest rate movements and will depend on the shape and
magnitude of the interest rate movements, which could materially impact net income attributed to shareholders.
Manulife Financial Corporation – Third Quarter 2026
26
Our sensitivities vary across all regions in which we operate, and the impacts of yield curve changes will vary depending upon
the geography where the change occurs. Furthermore, the impacts from non-parallel movements may be materially different
from the estimated impacts of parallel movements.
The interest rate and spread risk sensitivities are determined in isolation of each other and therefore do not reflect the
combined impact of changes in government rates and credit spreads between government, swap and corporate rates
occurring simultaneously. As a result, the impact of the summation of each individual sensitivity may be materially different
from the impact of sensitivities to simultaneous changes in interest rate and spread risk.
The potential impacts also do not take into account other potential effects of changes in interest rate levels, for example, CSM
at recognition on the sale of new business or lower interest earned on future fixed income asset purchases.
The impacts do not reflect any potential effect of changing interest rates on the value of our ALDA. Rising interest rates could
negatively impact the value of our ALDA (see “Critical Actuarial and Accounting Policies – Fair Value of Invested Assets”, on
page 100 of our 2025 Annual Report). More information on ALDA can be found below in section C5 “Alternative Long-Duration
Asset Performance Risk Sensitivities and Exposure Measures”.
The impact to the LICAT ratio from a change in interest rates reflects the impacts on total comprehensive income, the LICAT
adjustments to earnings for the CSM, the surplus allowance and required capital components of the regulatory capital
framework.

Manulife Financial Corporation – Third Quarter 2026

LICAT Scenario Switch
When interest rates exceed a certain threshold, reflecting the combined movement in risk-free rates and corporate spreads, a
different prescribed interest rate stress scenario needs to be taken into account in the LICAT ratio calculation in accordance
with OSFI’s LICAT guideline.
The LICAT guideline specifies four stress scenarios for interest rates and prescribes the methodology to determine the most
adverse scenario to apply for each LICAT geographic region1 based on current market inputs and the Company’s Consolidated
Statements of Financial Position.
With the current level of interest rates in 3Q26, the probability of a scenario switch that could materially impact our LICAT ratio
is low.2 Should the future interest rate movements differ from those presented above, a scenario switch, if applicable, may
cause the impact to the LICAT ratio to differ from the disclosed values. Should a scenario switch be triggered in a LICAT
geographic region, the full impact would be reflected immediately for non-participating products while the impact for
participating products would be reflected over six quarters using a rolling average of interest rate risk capital, in line with the
smoothing approach prescribed in the LICAT guideline. The LICAT interest rate, corporate spread and swap spread
sensitivities presented above reflect the impact of scenario switches, if any, for each disclosed sensitivity.
The level of interest rates and corporate spreads that would trigger a switch in the scenarios is dependent on market
conditions and movements in the Company’s asset and liability position. The scenario switch, if triggered, could reverse in
response to subsequent changes in interest rates and/or corporate spreads.

DCRITICAL ACTUARIAL AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
D1Critical Actuarial and Accounting Policies
Our material accounting policies are described in note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended
December 31, 2025. The critical actuarial policies and estimation processes relating to the determination of insurance and
investment contract liabilities are described starting on page 92 of our 2025 Annual Report. The critical accounting policies and
estimation processes relating to the assessment of control over other entities for consolidation, estimation of fair value of
invested assets, evaluation of invested asset impairments, appropriate accounting for derivative financial instruments and
hedge accounting, determination of pension and other post-employment benefit obligations and expenses, accounting for
income taxes and uncertain tax positions and valuation and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets are described starting
on page 100 of our 2025 Annual Report.
D2Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The Company performs a comprehensive review of actuarial methods and assumptions annually. The review is designed to
reduce the Company’s exposure to uncertainty by ensuring assumptions for liability risks remain appropriate. This is
accomplished by monitoring experience and updating assumptions that represent a best estimate of expected future
experience, and maintaining a risk adjustment that is appropriate for the risks assumed. While the assumptions selected
represent the Company’s best estimates and assessment of risk, the ongoing monitoring of experience and changes in the
economic environment are likely to result in future changes to the actuarial assumptions, which could materially impact the
insurance contract liabilities. The changes implemented from the review are generally implemented in the third quarter of each
year, though updates may be made outside the third quarter in certain circumstances.
2026 Review of Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The completion of the 2026 annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions resulted in a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment
cash flows1 of $128 million, excluding the portion related to non-controlling interests. These changes resulted in a decrease in
pre-tax net income attributed to shareholders of $217 million ($175 million post-tax), a decrease in pre-tax net income
attributed to participating policyholders of $4 million ($3 million post-tax), an increase in CSM of $47 million, an increase in pre-
tax other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders of $306 million ($240 million post-tax), and a decrease in pre-tax
other comprehensive income attributed to participating policyholders of $4 million ($2 million post-tax).

Methodology and other updates
Methodology and other updates decreased pre-tax fulfilment cash flows by $279 million.
The decrease was mainly driven by valuation model enhancements for U.S. life insurance riders and the net impact of updates
to our valuation models for participating products in Asia, including annual yield and parameter updates. This was partially
offset by the net impact of methodology updates related to the projection of future premiums on our U.S. life insurance
business, as well as other smaller items that netted to an increase in fulfilment cash flows. This also includes the Canada
variable annuity product review, which had an immaterial impact.
Lapse and policyholder behaviour updates
Updates to lapse and policyholder behaviour assumptions increased pre-tax fulfilment cash flows by $226 million.
The increase was mainly driven by the review of lapse assumptions in Singapore to reflect higher lapse experience on our
investment-linked products and some other smaller items, partially offset by policyholder behaviour driven updates on U.S. life
insurance riders.
Mortality and morbidity updates
Mortality and morbidity updates decreased pre-tax fulfilment cash flows by $75 million.
The decrease was mainly driven by updates to morbidity and mortality assumptions in Vietnam to reflect recent experience,
partially offset by updates to mortality assumptions in our U.S. life insurance business following completion of the experience
study.
Impact of updates to actuarial methods and assumptions on pre-tax fulfilment cash flows, net income attributed to
shareholders, CSM and OCI, by segment1
In Asia, updates to actuarial methods and assumptions decreased pre-tax fulfilment cash flows by $26 million. The decrease
was primarily driven by updates to morbidity and mortality assumptions in Vietnam and the net impact of valuation models
updates for participating products, partially offset by the review of lapse assumptions in Singapore. These updates resulted in
an increase in pre-tax net income attributed to shareholders of $29 million ($10 million post-tax), an increase in CSM of $104
million, and a decrease in pre-tax other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders of $107 million ($85 million post-tax).
In Canada, updates to actuarial methods and assumptions increased pre-tax fulfilment cash flows by $14 million. The increase
reflects the net impact of smaller assumption and methodology updates. These updates resulted in a decrease in pre-tax net
income attributed to shareholders of $128 million ($92 million post-tax), an increase in CSM of $99 million, and an increase in
pre-tax other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders of $23 million ($17 million post-tax).
In the U.S., updates to actuarial methods and assumptions decreased pre-tax fulfilment cash flows by $116 million. The
decrease was related to our life insurance business, primarily driven by valuation model enhancements and assumption
updates for insurance riders, partially offset by the net impact of methodology updates related to the projection of future
premiums and updates to mortality assumptions. These updates resulted in a decrease in pre-tax net income attributed to
shareholders of $118 million ($93 million post-tax), a decrease in CSM of $156 million, and an increase in pre-tax other
comprehensive income attributed to shareholders of $390 million ($308 million post-tax).
In Corporate and Other (which includes our property and casualty reinsurance businesses, run-off insurance operations
including variable annuities and health, and consolidation adjustments including intercompany eliminations), updates to
actuarial methods and assumptions resulted in no impact on pre-tax fulfilment cash flows, net income attributed to
shareholders, CSM and other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders.
2025 Review of Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The completion of the 2025 annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions resulted in a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment
cash flows of $605 million, excluding the portion related to non-controlling interests. These updates resulted in a decrease in
pre-tax net income attributed to shareholders of $244 million ($216 million post-tax), a decrease in pre-tax net income
attributed to participating policyholders of $88 million ($67 million post-tax), an increase in CSM of $1,080 million, a decrease
in pre-tax other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders of $52 million ($73 million post-tax), and a decrease in pre-
tax other comprehensive income attributed to participating policyholders of $91 million ($70 million post-tax).

Hong Kong health insurance product reserving approach
An update to the pricing philosophy on certain health insurance products in Hong Kong led to a change in the IFRS 17
measurement model from the Premium Allocation Approach to the General Measurement Model, which requires all future cash
flows to be included in the fulfilment cash flows, amounting to a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows of $463 million.
Methodology and other updates
Methodology and other updates resulted in a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows of $207 million.
The decrease was mainly driven by annual yield and parameter updates to our valuation models for participating products in
Asia and Canada. This was partially offset by various other valuation models updates in the U.S. to non-participating products
that netted to a residual increase in fulfilment cash flows.
Lapse and policyholder behaviour updates
Updates to lapses and policyholder behaviour assumptions resulted in an increase in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows of
$181 million.
The increase was mainly driven by the review of lapse assumptions in Singapore as well as other smaller updates. The
Singapore update reflected higher lapse experience on our index-linked and universal life products. This was partially offset by
the impact of the lapse review on term insurance products in Canada.
Long-term care triennial review
U.S. Insurance completed a comprehensive long-term care (“LTC”) experience study. The review included all aspects of claim
assumptions, as well as the progress on future premium increases and approved premium increases in excess of prior
assumptions. The impact of the LTC review was a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows of $77 million.
The overall experience study led to a $1.9 billion (US$1.4 billion) increase in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows for claim costs
following a review of morbidity, mortality and lapse assumptions. This was mainly driven by higher utilization of benefits due to
the impact of higher inflation in the cost-of-care, and also reflects the benefit of in-force management initiatives related to
fraud, waste and abuse programs. The impact from utilization was partially offset by updates to reflect higher terminations. The
impacts of updating incidence, active life mortality1, lapse and other refinements were all relatively small.
The review of assumed future premium increases resulted in a $1.5 billion (US$1.1 billion) decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash
flows. This reflects expected future net premium increases that are due to the outstanding amounts from prior state filings as
1  Our actual experience obtaining premium increases could be materially different than what we have assumed, resulting in further increases or decreases in pre-
tax fulfilment cash flows, which could be material. See section E4 “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

the above table.

well as to our 2025 review of morbidity, mortality, and lapse assumptions. Since the last triennial review in 2022, we have
received, as of September 30, 2025, actual premium increase approvals of $3.2 billion pre-tax (US$2.3 billion pre-tax) on a
present value basis. This exceeds the amount of premium increases we assumed in our pre-tax fulfilment cash flows by
$0.5 billion (US$0.3 billion) at that time, and demonstrates our continued strong track record of securing premium rate
increases.1
Mortality and morbidity updates
Mortality and morbidity updates resulted in a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows of $39 million.
The decrease was mainly driven by a morbidity study of group long-term disability benefits in Canada related to claim
termination, partially offset by other items that netted to a modest residual increase in fulfilment cash flows.
Impact of updates to actuarial methods and assumptions on pre-tax fulfilment cash flows, net income attributed to
shareholders, CSM and OCI by segment2
The impact of updates to actuarial methods and assumptions in Asia resulted in a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows of
$418 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of the change in the IFRS 17 measurement model on certain
health insurance products in Hong Kong and the impact of annual updates to our valuation models for participating products,
partly offset by a review of lapse assumptions for certain products in Singapore. These updates resulted in a decrease in pre-
tax net income attributed to shareholders of $26 million ($39 million post-tax), an increase in CSM of $704 million, and a
decrease in pre-tax other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders of $224 million ($203 million post-tax).
The impact of updates to actuarial methods and assumptions in Canada resulted in a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows
of $382 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of annual updates to our valuation models for participating
products, the lapse review on term insurance products as well as the review of morbidity assumptions for group long-term
disability benefits. These updates resulted in an increase in pre-tax net income attributed to shareholders of $80 million
($58 million post-tax), an increase in CSM of $348 million, and an increase in pre-tax other comprehensive income attributed
to shareholders of $98 million ($71 million post-tax).
The impact of updates to actuarial methods and assumptions in the U.S. resulted in an increase in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows
of $179 million. The increase was primarily driven by a number of valuation model updates, partially offset by the impact of the
LTC triennial review. These updates resulted in a decrease in pre-tax net income attributed to shareholders of $298 million
($235 million post-tax), an increase in CSM of $43 million, and an increase in pre-tax other comprehensive income attributed
to shareholders of $75 million ($60 million post-tax).
The impact of updates to actuarial methods and assumptions in Corporate and Other (which includes our property and
casualty reinsurance businesses, run-off insurance operations including variable annuities and health, and consolidation
adjustments including intercompany eliminations) resulted in an increase in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows of $16 million. These
updates resulted in no impact to pre-tax or post-tax net income attributed to shareholders, a decrease in CSM of $15 million,
and a decrease in pre-tax other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders of $1 million ($1 million post-tax).
D3Sensitivity to Changes in Assumptions
The following table presents information on how reasonably possible changes in assumptions made by the Company for
certain economic risk variables impact the CSM net of NCI, net income attributed to shareholders, other comprehensive
income attributed to shareholders, and total comprehensive income attributed to shareholders. The method used for deriving
sensitivity information and significant assumptions did not change from the previous period.
The analysis is based on a simultaneous change in assumptions across all businesses and holds all other assumptions
constant. In practice, experience for each assumption will frequently vary by geographic market and business, and assumption
updates are specifically made on a business and geographic basis. Actual results can differ materially from these estimates for
a variety of reasons including the interaction among these factors when more than one factor changes, actual experience
differing from the assumptions, changes in business mix, effective tax rates, and the general limitations of our internal models.

E3Non-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); pre-tax core earnings; core earnings available to common
shareholders; core earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“core EBITDA”); total expenses; core
expenses; core Drivers of Earnings (“DOE”) line items for core net insurance service result, core net investment result, other
core earnings, and core income tax (expenses) recoveries; post-tax contractual service margin (“post-tax CSM”); post-tax
contractual service margin net of NCI (“post-tax CSM net of NCI”); Manulife Bank net lending assets; Manulife Bank average
net lending assets; assets under management (“AUM”); assets under management and administration (“AUMA”); Global WAM
managed AUMA; core revenue; adjusted book value; and net annualized fee income. 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”); financial leverage ratio; adjusted book value per common share; common share core dividend payout ratio
(“dividend payout ratio”); expense efficiency ratio; core EBITDA margin; growth in the CSM net of NCI from organic CSM
movement; effective tax rate on core earnings; and net annualized fee income yield on average AUMA. In addition, non-GAAP
ratios include the percentage growth/decline on a CER basis in any of the above non-GAAP financial measures and non-
GAAP ratios; net income attributed to shareholders; common shareholders’ net income; pre-tax net income attributed to
Manulife Financial Corporation – Third Quarter 2026

shareholders; general expenses; CSM; CSM net of NCI; impact of new insurance business net of NCI; new business CSM;
basic earnings per common share (“basic EPS”); and diluted earnings per common share (“diluted EPS”).
Other specified financial measures include assets under administration (“AUA”); consolidated capital; new business value
(“NBV”); new business value margin (“NBV margin”); sales; annualized premium equivalent (“APE”) sales; gross flows; net
flows; average assets under management and administration (“average AUMA”); Global WAM average managed AUMA;
average assets under administration; remittances; any of the foregoing specified financial measures stated on a CER basis;
and percentage growth/decline in any of the foregoing specified financial measures on a CER basis. In addition, we provide an
explanation below of the components of core DOE line items other than the change in expected credit loss, the items that
comprise certain items excluded from core earnings (on a pre-tax and post-tax basis), and the components of CSM movement
other than the new business CSM.
Our reporting currency for the Company is Canadian dollars, and U.S. dollars is the functional currency for Asia and U.S.
segment results. Financial measures presented in U.S. dollars are calculated in the same manner as the Canadian dollar
measures. These amounts are translated to U.S. dollars using the period end rate of exchange for financial measures such as
AUMA and the CSM balance and the average rates of exchange for the respective quarter for periodic financial measures
such as our Consolidated Statements of Income, core earnings and items excluded from core earnings, and line items in our
CSM movement schedule and DOE. Year-to-date or full year periodic financial measures presented in U.S. dollars are
calculated as the sum of the quarterly results translated to U.S. dollars. See section E5 “Quarterly Financial Information” below
for the Canadian to U.S. dollar quarterly rates of exchange.
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.
Core earnings (loss) is a financial measure which we believe aids investors in better understanding the long-term earnings
capacity and valuation of the business. Core earnings allows investors to focus on the Company’s operating performance by
excluding the impact of market-related gains or losses, and certain items such as the net impact of updates to actuarial
methods and assumptions that flow directly through income as well as other items, outlined below, that we believe are
material, but do not reflect the underlying earnings capacity of the business. For example, due to the long-term nature of our
business, the mark-to-market movements in equity markets, interest rates including impacts on hedge accounting
ineffectiveness, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices as well as the change in the fair value of ALDA from
period-to-period can, and frequently do, have a substantial impact on the reported amounts of our assets, insurance contract
liabilities and net income attributed to shareholders. These reported amounts may not be realized if markets move in the
opposite direction in a subsequent period. This makes it very difficult for investors to evaluate how our businesses are
performing from period-to-period and to compare our performance with other issuers.
We believe that core earnings better reflect the underlying earnings capacity and valuation of our business. We use core
earnings and core EPS as key metrics in our short-term incentive plans at the total Company and operating segment level. We
also base our mid- and long-term strategic priorities on core earnings.
Core earnings include the expected return on our invested assets and any other gains (charges) from market experience are
included in net income but excluded from core earnings. The expected return for fixed income assets is based on the related
book yields. For ALDA and public equities, the expected return reflects our long-term view of asset class performance. These
returns for ALDA and public equities vary by asset class and range from 3.25% to 11.5%, leading to an average return of
between 9.0% to 9.5% on these assets as of September 30, 2026.
While core earnings are relevant to how we manage our business and offer a consistent methodology, it is not insulated from
macroeconomic factors which can have a significant impact. See below for a reconciliation of core earnings to net income
attributed to shareholders and income before income taxes. Net income attributed to shareholders excludes net income
attributed to participating policyholders and non-controlling interests.
Any future changes to the core earnings definition referred to below will be disclosed.
Items included in core earnings:
1.Expected insurance service result on in-force policies, including expected release of the risk adjustment, CSM recognized
for service provided, and expected earnings from short-term products measured under the premium allocation approach
(“PAA”).
2.Impacts from the initial recognition of new contracts (onerous contracts, including the impact of the associated reinsurance
contracts).
3.Insurance experience gains or losses that flow directly through net income.
4.Operating and investment expenses compared with expense assumptions used in the measurement of insurance and
investment contract liabilities.
5.Expected investment earnings, which is the difference between expected return on our invested assets and the
associated finance income or expense from the insurance contract liabilities.
6.Net provision for ECL on FVOCI and amortized cost debt instruments.
7.Expected asset returns on surplus investments.
Manulife Financial Corporation – Third Quarter 2026

8.All earnings for the Global WAM segment, except for applicable net income items excluded from core earnings as noted
below.
9.All earnings for the Manulife Bank business, except for applicable net income items excluded from core earnings as noted
below.
10.Routine legal settlements.
11.All other items not specifically excluded.
12.Tax on the above items.
13.All tax-related items except the impact of enacted or substantively enacted income tax rate changes and taxes on items
excluded from core earnings.
Net income items excluded from core earnings:
1.Market experience gains (losses) including the items listed below:
•Gains (charges) on general fund public equity and ALDA investments from returns being different than expected.
•Gains (charges) on derivatives not in hedging relationships, or gains (charges) resulting from hedge accounting
ineffectiveness.
•Realized gains (charges) from the sale of FVOCI debt instruments.
•Market related gains (charges) on onerous contracts measured using the variable fee approach (e.g. variable
annuities, unit linked, participating insurance) net of the performance on any related hedging instruments.
•Gains (charges) related to certain changes in foreign exchange rates.
2.Updates to actuarial methods and assumptions used in the measurement of insurance contract liabilities that flow directly
through income. The Company reviews actuarial methods and assumptions annually, and this process is designed to
reduce the Company’s exposure to uncertainty by ensuring assumptions remain appropriate. This is accomplished by
monitoring experience and selecting assumptions which represent a current view of expected future experience and
ensuring that the risk adjustment is appropriate for the risks assumed.
3.Amortization and impairment of intangible assets acquired in a business combination, except for amortization of software
and distribution agreements. Commencing 3Q25, this item is now excluded from core earnings to better represent the
underlying earnings capacity of acquired businesses, consistent with our definition of core earnings, and to better align
with industry practice. 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.
4.The impact on the measurement of insurance and investment contract assets and liabilities and reinsurance contract held
assets and liabilities from changes in product features and new or changes to in-force reinsurance contracts.
5.The fair value changes in long-term investment plan obligations for Global WAM investment management.
6.Goodwill impairment charges.
7.Gains or losses on acquisition and disposition of a business.
8.One-time only adjustments, including highly unusual/extraordinary legal settlements and restructuring charges, or other
items that are exceptional in nature.
9.Tax on the above items.
10.Net income (loss) attributed to participating shareholders and non-controlling interests.
11.Impact of enacted or substantively enacted income tax rate changes.

(1)Preferred share dividends and other equity distributions are recorded in the Corporate and Other segment. As a result, core earnings and core earnings
available to common shareholders are the same figure for Asia, Canada, U.S. and Global WAM segments. Core earnings for Corporate and Other segment is
reduced by preferred shares and other equity distributions to arrive at core earnings available to common shareholders. See above for the reconciliation of core
earnings to net income attributed to shareholders for each segment.
(2)The impact of updating foreign exchange rates to that which was used in 3Q26.

Core ROE measures profitability using core earnings available to common shareholders as a percentage of the capital
deployed to earn the core earnings. The Company calculates core ROE using average common shareholders’ equity quarterly,
as the average of common shareholders’ equity at the start and end of the quarter, and annually, as the average of the
quarterly average common shareholders’ equity for the year.

The Company also uses financial performance measures that are prepared on a constant exchange rate basis, which
exclude the impact of currency fluctuations (from local currency to Canadian dollars at a total Company level and from local
currency to U.S. dollars in Asia). Such financial measures may be stated on a constant exchange rate basis or the percentage
growth/decline in the financial measure on a constant exchange rate basis, using the income statement and balance sheet
exchange rates effective for the third quarter of 2026.
Information supporting constant exchange rate basis for GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is presented throughout this
section.
Basic EPS and diluted EPS, CER basis is equal to common shareholders’ net income on a CER basis divided by the
weighted average common shares outstanding and diluted weighted common shares outstanding, respectively.

Drivers of Earnings (“DOE”) is used to identify the primary sources of gains or losses in each reporting period. It is one of
the key tools we use to understand and manage our business. The DOE line items are comprised of amounts that have been
included in our financial statements. The core DOE shows the sources of core earnings and the items excluded from core
earnings, reconciled to net income attributed to shareholders. The elements of the core earnings DOE are described below:
Net Insurance Service Result represents the core earnings associated with providing insurance service to policyholders
within the period including:
•Expected earnings on insurance contracts which includes the release of risk adjustment for expired non-financial risk, the
CSM recognized for service provided, and expected earnings on short-term PAA insurance business.
•Impact of new insurance business relates to income at initial recognition from new insurance contracts. Losses would
occur if the group of new insurance contracts was onerous at initial recognition. If reinsurance contracts provide coverage
for the direct insurance contracts, then the loss is offset by a corresponding gain on reinsurance contracts held.
•Insurance experience gains (losses) arise from items such as claims, persistency, and expenses, where the actual
experience in the current period differs from the expected results assumed in the insurance and investment contract
liabilities. Generally, this line would be driven by claims and expenses, as persistency experience relates to future service
and would be offset by changes to the carrying amount of the CSM unless the group is onerous, in which case the impact
of persistency experience would be included in core earnings.
•Other represents pre-tax net income on residual items in the insurance result section.
Net Investment Result represents the core earnings associated with investment results within the period. Note that results
associated with Global WAM and Manulife Bank are shown on separate DOE lines. However within the Consolidated
Statements of Income, the results associated with these businesses would impact the total investment result. This section
includes:
•Expected investment earnings, which is the difference between expected asset returns and the associated finance
income or expense from insurance and investment contract liabilities, net of investment expenses.
•Change in expected credit loss, which is the gain or charge to net income attributed to shareholders for credit losses to
bring the allowance for credit losses to a level management considers adequate for expected credit-related losses on its
portfolio.
•Expected earnings on surplus reflects the expected investment return on surplus assets.
•Other represents pre-tax net income on residual items in the investment result section.
Global WAM is the pre-tax net income from the Global Wealth and Asset Management segment, adjusted for applicable items
excluded from core earnings as noted in the core earnings (loss) section above.
Manulife Bank is the pre-tax net income from Manulife Bank, adjusted for applicable items excluded from core earnings as
noted in the core earnings (loss) section above.
Other represents net income associated with items outside of the net insurance service result, net investment result, Global
WAM and Manulife Bank. Other includes lines attributed to core earnings such as:
•Non-directly attributable expenses are expenses incurred by the Company which are not directly attributable to fulfilling
insurance contracts. Non-directly attributable expenses exclude non-directly attributable investment expenses as they are
included in the net investment result.
•Other represents pre-tax net income on residual items in the Other section. Most notably this would include the cost of
financing debt issued by Manulife.
Net income attributed to shareholders includes the following items excluded from core earnings:
•Market experience gains (losses) related to items excluded from core earnings that relate to changes in market
variables.
•Updates to actuarial methods and assumptions that flow directly through income related to updates in the methods
and assumptions used to value insurance contract liabilities.
•Restructuring charges includes a charge taken to reorganize operations.
•Amortization and impairment of intangible assets acquired in a business combination, except for amortization of
software and distribution agreements. As noted above, this item is now excluded from core earnings commencing in 3Q25
to better represent the underlying earnings capacity of acquired businesses, consistent with our definition of core
earnings, and to better align with industry practice. 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.
•Reinsurance transactions, tax-related items and other include the impacts of new or changes to in-force reinsurance
contracts, the impact of enacted or substantively enacted income tax rate changes and other amounts defined as items
excluded from core earnings not specifically captured in the lines above.
All of the above items are discussed in more detail in our definition of items excluded from core earnings.

(1)The impact of updating foreign exchange rates to that which was used in 3Q26.
The CSM is a liability that represents future unearned profits on insurance contracts written. It is a component of insurance
and reinsurance contract liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position and includes amounts attributed to common
shareholders, participating policyholders and NCI.
Our reporting of CSM is net of NCI. Changes, or movement, in the CSM net of NCI are classified as organic and inorganic.
CSM growth is the percentage change in the CSM net of NCI compared with a prior period on a constant exchange rate
basis.
Changes in CSM net of NCI that are classified as organic include the following impacts:
•Impact of new insurance business (“impact of new business” or “new business CSM”) is the impact from insurance
contracts initially recognized in the period and includes acquisition expense related gains (losses) which impact the CSM
in the period. It excludes the impact from entering into new in-force reinsurance contracts which would generally be
considered a management action.
•Expected movement related to finance income or expenses (“interest accretion”) includes interest accreted on the
CSM net of NCI during the period and the expected change on VFA contracts if returns are as expected.
•CSM recognized for service provided (“CSM amortization”) is the portion of the CSM net of NCI that is recognized in
net income for service provided in the period; and
•Insurance experience gains (losses) and other is primarily the change from experience variances that relate to future
periods. This includes persistency experience and changes in future period cash flows caused by other current period
experience.
Changes in CSM net of NCI that are classified as inorganic include the following impacts:
•Updates to actuarial methods and assumptions that adjust the CSM;
•Effect of movement in exchange rates over the reporting period;
•Impact of markets; and
•Reinsurance transactions, tax-related and other items that reflect the impact related to future cash flows from items
such as gains or losses on disposition of a business, the impact of enacted or substantively enacted income tax rate
changes, material adjustments that are exceptional in nature and other amounts not specifically captured in the previous
inorganic items.
Post-tax CSM is used in the definition of financial leverage ratio and consolidated capital and is calculated as the CSM
adjusted for the marginal income tax rate in the jurisdictions that report a CSM balance. Post-tax CSM net of NCI is used in
the adjusted book value per share calculation and is calculated as the CSM net of NCI adjusted for the marginal income tax
rate in the jurisdictions that report this balance.
Growth in the CSM net of NCI from organic CSM movement measures the percent growth or decline in our CSM balance
due to organic change, or movement, in the CSM during the year. It is a measure of the CSM generation capability of our
underlying business. It is calculated as the percentage growth / decline in our annualized year-to-date change in organic CSM
net of NCI divided by the prior year-end CSM net of NCI balance on a constant exchange rate basis.
New business CSM growth is the percentage change in the new business CSM compared with a prior period on a constant
exchange rate basis.

AUMA is a financial measure of the size of the Company. It is comprised of AUM and AUA. AUM includes assets of the
General Account, consisting of total invested assets and segregated funds net assets, and external client assets for which we
provide investment management services, consisting of mutual fund, institutional asset management and other fund net
assets. AUA are assets for which we provide administrative services only. Assets under management and administration is a
common industry metric for wealth and asset management businesses.
Our Global WAM business also manages assets on behalf of other segments of the Company. Global WAM-managed AUMA
is a financial measure equal to the sum of Global WAM’s AUMA and assets managed by Global WAM on behalf of other
segments. It is an important measure of the assets managed by Global WAM.

(1)AUMA adjusted to reflect the foreign exchange rates for the Statement of Financial Position in effect for 3Q26.
Average assets under management and administration (“average AUMA”) is the average of Global WAM’s AUMA during
the reporting period. It is a measure used in analyzing and explaining fee income and earnings of our Global WAM segment. It
is calculated as the average of the opening balance of AUMA and the ending balance of AUMA using daily balances where
available and month-end or quarter-end averages when daily averages are unavailable. Similarly, Global WAM average
managed AUMA and average AUA are the average of Global WAM’s managed AUMA and AUA, respectively, and are
calculated in a manner consistent with average AUMA.

Core EBITDA is a financial measure which Manulife uses to better understand the long-term earnings capacity and valuation
of our Global WAM business on a basis more comparable to how the profitability of global asset managers is generally
measured. Core EBITDA presents core earnings before the impact of interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Core
EBITDA excludes certain acquisition expenses related to insurance contracts in our retirement businesses which are deferred
and amortized over the expected lifetime of the customer relationship. Core EBITDA was selected as a key performance
indicator for our Global WAM business, as EBITDA is widely used among asset management peers, and core earnings is a
primary profitability metric for the Company overall.

(1)The impact of updating foreign exchange rates to that which was used in 3Q26.
(2)Core EBITDA adjusted to reflect the foreign exchange rates for the Statement of Income in effect for 3Q26.
Core EBITDA margin is a financial measure which Manulife uses to better understand the long-term profitability of our Global
WAM business on a more comparable basis to how the profitability of global asset managers is measured. Core EBITDA
margin presents core earnings before the impact of interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization divided by core revenue
from these businesses. Core revenue is used to calculate our core EBITDA margin, and is equal to the sum of pre-tax other
revenue and investment income in Global WAM, and it excludes such items as revenue related to integration and acquisitions
and market experience gains (losses). Core EBITDA margin was selected as a key performance indicator for our Global WAM
business, as EBITDA margin is widely used among asset management peers, and core earnings is a primary profitability
metric for the Company overall.

2.Directly attributable maintenance expenses, which are reported in insurance service expenses and flow directly through
income; and
3.Directly attributable acquisition expenses for contracts measured using the PAA method and for products without a CSM,
both of which are reported in insurance service expenses, and flow directly through income.

Expense efficiency ratio is a financial measure which Manulife uses to measure progress towards our target to be more
efficient. It is defined as core expenses divided by the sum of core earnings before income taxes (“pre-tax core earnings”) and
core expenses.
Net annualized fee income yield on average AUMA (“Net fee income yield”) is a financial measure that represents the net
annualized fee income from Global WAM channels over average AUMA. This measure provides information on Global WAM’s
adjusted return generated from managing AUMA.
Net annualized fee income is a financial measure that represents Global WAM income before income taxes, adjusted to
exclude items unrelated to net fee income, including general expenses, investment income, non-AUMA related net benefits
and claims, and net premium taxes. It also excludes the components of Global WAM net fee income from managing assets on
behalf of other segments. This measure is annualized based on the number of days in the year divided by the number of days
in the reporting period.

New business value (“NBV”) is calculated as the present value of shareholders’ interests in expected future distributable
earnings, after the cost of capital calculated under the LICAT framework in Canada, the International High Net Worth business,
and business ceded to an affiliate reinsurer, and the local capital requirements in Asia and the U.S., on actual new business
sold in the period using assumptions with respect to future experience. NBV excludes businesses with immaterial insurance
risks, Global WAM, Manulife Bank and the P&C Reinsurance business. NBV is a useful metric to evaluate the value created by
the Company’s new business franchise.
New business value margin (“NBV margin”) is calculated as NBV divided by APE sales excluding NCI. APE sales are
calculated as 100% of regular premiums and deposits sales and 10% of single premiums and deposits sales. NBV margin is a
useful metric to help understand the profitability of our new business.
Sales are measured according to product type:
For individual insurance, sales include 100% of new annualized premiums and 10% of both excess and single premiums. For
individual insurance, new annualized premiums reflect the annualized premium expected in the first year of a policy that
requires premium payments for more than one year. Single premium is the lump sum premium from the sale of a single
premium product, e.g., travel insurance. Sales are reported gross before the impact of reinsurance.
For group insurance, sales include new annualized premiums and administrative services only premium equivalents on new
cases, as well as the addition of new coverages and amendments to contracts, excluding rate increases.
Insurance-based wealth accumulation product sales include all new deposits into variable and fixed annuity contracts. As we
discontinued sales of new variable annuity contracts in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2013, subsequent deposits into existing
U.S. variable annuity contracts are not reported as sales. Asia variable annuity deposits are included in APE sales.
APE sales are comprised of 100% of regular premiums and deposits and 10% of excess and single premiums and deposits
for both insurance and insurance-based wealth accumulation products.
Gross flows is a new business measure presented for our Global WAM business and includes all deposits into mutual funds,
group pension/retirement savings products, private wealth and institutional asset management products. Gross flows is a
common industry metric for WAM businesses as it provides a measure of how successful the businesses are at attracting
assets.
Net flows is presented for our Global WAM business and includes gross flows less redemptions for mutual funds, group
pension/retirement savings products, private wealth and institutional asset management products. In addition, net flows include
the net flows of exchange traded funds and non-proprietary products sold by Manulife Securities. Net flows is a common
industry metric for WAM businesses as it provides a measure of how successful the businesses are at attracting and retaining
assets. When net flows are positive, they are referred to as net inflows. Conversely, negative net flows are referred to as net
outflows.
Remittances is defined as the cash remitted or made available for distribution to Manulife Financial Corporation from its
subsidiaries, prior to payment of financing costs, dividends, and other capital deployments. It is a key metric used by
management to evaluate our financial flexibility.
E4Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The forward-looking statements in this document include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the Company’s
strategic priorities and targets, its medium-term financial and operating targets, the expected impact of the reinsurance
transaction described herein, future premium increases, planned share buybacks, the probability and impact of LICAT scenario
switches, and the anticipated benefits and value derived from the use of AI, and also relate to, among other things, our

any 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

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

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; our ability to execute our digital plans and to deploy future digital
use cases and derive value from AI, 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.

CONDENSED NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Canadian $ in millions except per share amounts or unless otherwise stated, unaudited)
Note 1    Nature of Operations and Material Accounting Policy Information
(a)Reporting Entity
Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”) is a publicly traded company and the holding company of The Manufacturers Life
Insurance Company (“MLI”), a Canadian life insurance company. MFC, including its subsidiaries (collectively, “Manulife” or the
“Company”) is a leading financial services group with principal operations in Asia, Canada and the United States. Manulife’s
international network of employees, agents and distribution partners offers financial protection and wealth management
products and services to personal and business clients as well as asset management services to institutional customers. The
Company operates as Manulife in Canada and Asia, and primarily as John Hancock in the United States.
These Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and condensed notes have been prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(“IASB”), using accounting policies which are consistent with those used in the Company’s 2025 Annual Consolidated
Financial Statements, except as disclosed in note 2.
These Interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Annual Consolidated
Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included on pages 144 to 271 of the Company’s 2025 Annual
Report.
These Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were
authorized for issue by MFC’s Board of Directors on November 4, 2026.
(b)Basis of Preparation
Refer to note 1 of the Company’s 2025 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of material estimation
processes used in the preparation of these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements under International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) and a description of the Company’s measurement techniques in determining carrying values and
respective fair values of its assets and liabilities.
Note 2    Accounting and Reporting Changes
(a)Changes in Accounting and Reporting Policy
(I)Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11
Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 was issued in July 2024 to be effective on or after January
1, 2026. The IASB issued eight minor amendments to different standards as part of the Annual Improvements process, to be
applied retrospectively except for amendments to IFRS 1 “First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”
for first time adopters and to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”) for derecognition of lease liabilities. Adoption of these
amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
(II)Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)
Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial
Instruments” (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” (“IFRS 7”)) were issued in May 2024 to be effective
for years beginning on or after January 1, 2026 and to be applied retrospectively with no restatement of comparative periods
required.
The amendments clarify guidance on timing of derecognition of financial liabilities on their settlement dates and introduce an
accounting policy option to derecognize financial liabilities settled using electronic payment systems before the settlement date
if certain conditions are met. As the Company already applies settlement date accounting for financial liabilities, the
amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s derecognition of financial liabilities, other than the
presentation in the Statements of Cash Flows which was revised to reconcile to gross cash and short-term securities as shown
on the Statements of Financial Position. Net payments in transit of $617 as at September 30, 2025 were reclassified to
Changes in policy related and operating receivables and payables, in order to conform to the current period presentation.
The amendments also clarify classification guidance on the assessment of cash flow characteristics of financial assets with
terms referencing environmental, social and corporate governance linked features and other contingent features not directly
related to changes in basic lending risks, and introduce additional related disclosure requirements for financial instruments with
such contingent features. Adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Manulife Financial Corporation – Third Quarter 2026

(b)Future Accounting and Reporting Changes
(I)IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements”
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” (“IFRS 18”) was issued in April 2024 to be effective for years
beginning on January 1, 2027 and to be applied retrospectively. The standard replaces IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial
Statements” (“IAS 1”) while carrying forward many elements of IAS 1 unchanged. IFRS 18 introduces three sets of new
requirements for presentation of financial statements and disclosures within financial statements:
•Introduction of five defined categories of income and expenses: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and
discontinued operations, with defined subtotals and totals for “operating income (loss)”, “income or loss before financing
and income taxes” and “income (loss)”,
•disclosure within a note to financial statements of management-defined performance measures (“MPMs”) with a
reconciliation between MPMs and IFRS performance measures. MPMs are defined as subtotals of income and expenses
not specified by IFRS Accounting Standards, which are used in public communications outside financial statements to
communicate management’s view of the Company’s financial performance, and
•enhanced guidance on organizing information and determining whether to provide the information in the financial
statements or in the notes. IFRS 18 also requires enhanced disclosure of operating expenses based on their
characteristics, including their nature, function or both.
IFRS 18 does not change the recognition or measurement requirements for assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses.
The Company is assessing the impact of this standard on the presentation and disclosure of the Company’s Consolidated
Financial Statements.
(II)Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes”
Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes” (“IAS 12”) were issued in May 2023. The amendments relate to the Organization for
Economic Co-operation and Development’s International Pillar Two tax reform, which seeks to establish a global minimum
income tax rate of 15% and addresses inter-jurisdictional base erosion and profit shifting, targeting larger international
companies. Most jurisdictions have agreed to participate and effective dates for Global Minimum Taxes (“GMT”) vary by
jurisdiction based on local legislation.
The amendments require that, effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, disclosure of current tax expense or
recovery related to GMT is required along with, to the extent that GMT legislation is enacted or substantively enacted but not
yet in effect, disclosure of known or reasonably estimable information that helps users of financial statements understand the
Company’s exposure to GMT arising from that legislation.
The Company expects to pay GMT of $36 and $106 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily
arising from its operations in Barbados and Hong Kong (2025 – $63 and $217, respectively). These amounts include $23 and
$30 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, reflecting changes in estimate resulting from the filing of GMT
returns for the year ended December 31, 2024 and which have been paid to the relevant tax authorities in 2026.
The amendments also provide a temporary mandatory exception in IAS 12 from recognizing and disclosing deferred tax assets
and liabilities related to GMT. The Company has applied the temporary exception from accounting for deferred taxes in respect
of GMT.

any accounting mismatch arising from changes in the fair value of these assets, or changes in the carrying value of the related insurance contract liabilities.
(2)Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) classification for debt instruments backing certain insurance contract liabilities inherently reduces
any accounting mismatch arising from changes in the fair value of these assets, or changes in the carrying value of the related insurance contract liabilities.
(3)Other includes mortgages and loans to Bank clients held at amortized cost, own use properties held at fair value or cost, investment properties held at fair
value, and equity method accounted investments (including leveraged leases). Also includes debt securities, which qualify as having Solely Payments of
Principal and Interest (“SPPI”), and are held to collect contractual cash flows and are carried at amortized cost.
(4)Invested assets above comprise debt securities, mortgages, private placements and approximately $353 (December 31, 2025 – $383) of other invested assets,
which qualify as having SPPI qualifying cash flows. Invested assets which do not have SPPI qualifying cash flows as at September 30, 2026 include debt
securities, private placements and other invested assets with fair values of $nil, $55 and $541, respectively (December 31, 2025 – $nil, $98 and $552,
respectively). The change in the fair value of these non-SPPI invested assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was a decrease of $54 (for the
year ended December 31, 2025 – a $29 decrease).
(5)Includes short-term securities with remaining maturities of less than one year at acquisition amounting to $13,363 (December 31, 2025 – $11,791), cash
equivalents with remaining maturities of less than 90 days at acquisition amounting to $6,724 (December 31, 2025 – $9,135) and cash of $7,143 (December
31, 2025 – $5,777).
(6)Debt securities include securities which were acquired with remaining maturities of less than one year and less than 90 days of $475 and $65, respectively
(December 31, 2025 – $1,842 and $236, respectively).
(7)Own use property of $2,547 (December 31, 2025 – $2,466), are underlying items for insurance contracts with direct participating features and are measured at
fair value as if they were investment properties, as permitted by IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. Own use property of $168 (December 31, 2025 –
$165) is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
(8)Alternative long-duration assets (“ALDA”) include investments in private equity of $20,796, infrastructure of $20,139, timber and agriculture of $6,290, energy of
$1,828 and various other ALDA of $4,951 (December 31, 2025 – $18,466, $18,629, $6,012, $1,658, and $4,264, respectively).
(9)Includes $4,546 (December 31, 2025 – $4,266) of leveraged leases.

(1)Fair value of private placements is determined through an internal valuation methodology using both observable and unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs
include credit assumptions and liquidity spread adjustments. Private placements are classified within Level 2 unless the liquidity spread adjustment constitutes
a material price impact, in which case the securities are classified as Level 3.
(2)For real estate properties, the significant unobservable inputs are capitalization rates ranging from 3.25% to 11.00% for the nine months ended September 30,
2026 (ranging from 3.20% to 11.00% for the year ended December 31, 2025), terminal capitalization rates ranging from 3.40% to 10.00% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2026 (ranging from 3.25% to 10.00% for the year ended December 31, 2025) and discount rates ranging from 5.65% to 13.75% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2026 (ranging from 3.60% to 13.75% for the year ended December 31, 2025). Holding other factors constant, a lower
capitalization or terminal capitalization rate will tend to increase the fair value of an investment property. Changes in fair value based on variations in
unobservable inputs generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship between the directional changes of each input is not usually linear.
(3)Other invested assets measured at fair value are held in infrastructure and timber sectors and include fund investments of $37,052 (December 31, 2025 –
$32,804) recorded at net asset value. The significant inputs used in the valuation of the Company’s infrastructure investments are primarily future distributable
cash flows, terminal values and discount rates. Holding other factors constant, an increase to future distributable cash flows or terminal values would tend to
increase the fair value of an infrastructure investment, while an increase in the discount rate would have the opposite effect. Discount rates for the nine months
ended September 30, 2026 ranged from 8.07% to 17.50% (ranged from 7.87% to 20.00% for the year ended December 31, 2025). Disclosure of distributable
cash flow and terminal value ranges are not meaningful given the disparity in estimates by project. The significant inputs used in the valuation of the Company’s
investments in timberland properties are timber prices and discount rates. Holding other factors constant, an increase to timber prices would tend to increase
the fair value of a timberland investment, while an increase in the discount rates would have the opposite effect. Discount rates for the nine months ended
September 30, 2026 ranged from 3.25% to 6.25% (ranged from 3.25% to 6.25% for the year ended December 31, 2025). A range of prices for timber is not
meaningful as the market price depends on factors such as property location and proximity to markets and export yards.
(4)Segregated funds net assets are measured at fair value. The Company’s Level 3 segregated funds’ underlying assets are predominantly in investment
properties and timberland properties valued as described above.

(1)The carrying value of other invested assets includes leveraged leases of $4,546 (December 31, 2025 – $4,266), other equity method accounted investments
and other invested assets of $10,775 (December 31, 2025 – $10,151). Fair value of leveraged leases is disclosed at their carrying value as fair value is not
routinely calculated on these investments. Fair value of equity method accounted investments and other invested assets is determined using a variety of
valuation techniques including discounted cash flows and market comparable approaches. Inputs vary based on the specific investment.
Manulife Financial Corporation – Third Quarter 2026

Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2
The Company records transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 at their fair values as at the end of each
reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. Assets are transferred out of Level 1 when they are
no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume in an active market. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2
to Level 1 when transaction volume and frequency are indicative of an active market. During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2026, the Company had $nil and $nil transfers of assets from Level 1 to Level 2 (September 30, 2025 – $nil
and $nil) and $nil and $nil transfers of assets from Level 2 to Level 1 (September 30, 2025 – $nil and $nil).
For segregated funds net assets, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company had $nil and $8
transfers of assets from Level 1 to Level 2 (September 30, 2025 – $nil and $nil). During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2026, the Company had $nil and $nil transfers of assets from Level 2 to Level 1 (September 30, 2025 – $nil
and $nil).
Invested assets and segregated funds net assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level
3)
The Company classifies fair values of invested assets and segregated funds net assets as Level 3 if there are no observable
market inputs for these assets, or in the presence of active markets significant unobservable inputs are used to determine fair
value. The Company prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over unobservable inputs in determining Level 3 fair values.
The gains and losses in the tables below include the changes in fair value due to both observable and unobservable factors.
The following tables present the movement in invested assets, net derivatives and segregated funds net assets measured at
fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and
September 30, 2025.

Movement in net derivatives measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is presented in note 3 (b).
(b)Embedded Derivatives
Certain insurance contracts contain features that are classified as embedded derivatives. Among these contracts, certain
reinsurance contracts with guaranteed minimum income benefits contain embedded derivatives requiring separate
measurement at fair value as the financial components contained in the reinsurance contracts do not contain significant
insurance risk. These contracts had a fair value of $109 (December 31, 2025 – $221).
Other insurance contract features which are classified as embedded derivatives but are exempt from separate measurement
at fair value include variable universal life and variable life products’ minimum guaranteed credited rates, no lapse guarantees,
guaranteed annuitization options, Consumer Price Index indexing of benefits, segregated fund minimum guarantees other than
reinsurance ceded guaranteed minimum income benefits, and contracts containing certain credit and interest rate features.
These embedded derivatives are measured and reported within insurance contract liabilities and are exempt from separate fair
value measurement as they contain insurance risk and/or are closely related to the insurance host contract.

(e)Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The Company performs a comprehensive review of actuarial methods and assumptions annually. The review is designed to
reduce the Company’s exposure to uncertainty by ensuring assumptions for liability risks remain appropriate. This is
accomplished by monitoring experience and updating assumptions that represent a best estimate of expected future
experience, and maintaining a risk adjustment that is appropriate for the risks assumed. While the assumptions selected
represent the Company’s best estimates and assessment of risk, the ongoing monitoring of experience and changes in the
economic environment are likely to result in future changes to the actuarial assumptions, which could materially impact the
insurance contract liabilities. The changes implemented from the review are generally implemented in the third quarter of each
year, though updates may be made outside the third quarter in certain circumstances.
2026 Review of Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The completion of the 2026 annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions resulted in a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment
cash flows of $128, excluding the portion related to non-controlling interests. These changes resulted in a decrease in pre-tax
net income attributed to shareholders of $217 ($175 post-tax), a decrease in pre-tax net income attributed to participating
policyholders of $4 ($3 post-tax), an increase in CSM of $47, an increase in pre-tax other comprehensive income attributed to
shareholders of $306 ($240 post-tax), and a decrease in pre-tax other comprehensive income attributed to participating
policyholders of $4 ($2 post-tax).

Methodology and other updates
Methodology and other updates decreased pre-tax fulfilment cash flows by $279.
The decrease was mainly driven by valuation model enhancements for U.S. life insurance riders and the net impact of updates
to valuation models for participating products in Asia, including annual yield and parameter updates. This was partially offset by
the net impact of methodology updates related to the projection of future premiums on U.S. life insurance business, as well as
other smaller items that netted to an increase in fulfilment cash flows. This also includes the Canada variable annuity product
review, which had an immaterial impact.
Lapse and policyholder behaviour updates
Updates to lapse and policyholder behaviour assumptions increased pre-tax fulfilment cash flows by $226.
The increase was mainly driven by the review of lapse assumptions in Singapore to reflect higher lapse experience on
investment-linked products and some other smaller items, partially offset by policyholder behaviour driven updates on U.S. life
insurance riders.
Mortality and morbidity updates
Mortality and morbidity updates decreased pre-tax fulfilment cash flows by $75.
The decrease was mainly driven by updates to morbidity and mortality assumptions in Vietnam to reflect recent experience,
partially offset by updates to mortality assumptions in the U.S. life insurance business following completion of the experience
study.
2025 Review of Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The completion of the 2025 annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions resulted in a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment
cash flows of $605, excluding the portion related to non-controlling interests. These updates resulted in a decrease in pre-tax
net income attributed to shareholders of $244 ($216 post-tax), a decrease in pre-tax net income attributed to participating
policyholders of $88 ($67 post-tax), an increase in CSM of $1,080, a decrease in pre-tax other comprehensive income
attributed to shareholders of $52 ($73 post-tax), and a decrease in pre-tax other comprehensive income attributed to
participating policyholders of $91 ($70 post-tax).

Hong Kong health insurance product reserving approach
An update to the pricing philosophy on certain health insurance products in Hong Kong led to a change in the IFRS 17
measurement model from the Premium Allocation Approach to the General Measurement Model, which requires all future cash
flows to be included in the fulfilment cash flows, amounting to a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows of $463.
Methodology and other updates
Methodology and other updates resulted in a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows of $207.
The decrease was mainly driven by annual yield and parameter updates to valuation models for participating products in Asia
and Canada. This was partially offset by various other valuation models updates in the U.S. to non-participating products that
netted to a residual increase in fulfilment cash flows.
Lapse and policyholder behaviour updates
Updates to lapses and policyholder behaviour assumptions resulted in an increase in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows of $181.
The increase was mainly driven by the review of lapse assumptions in Singapore as well as other smaller updates. The
Singapore update reflected higher lapse experience on index-linked and universal life products. This was partially offset by the
impact of the lapse review on term insurance products in Canada.
Long-term care triennial review
U.S. Insurance completed a comprehensive long-term care (“LTC”) experience study. The review included all aspects of claim
assumptions, as well as the progress on future premium increases and approved premium increases in excess of prior
assumptions. The impact of the LTC review was a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows of $77.
The overall experience study led to a $1.9 billion (US$1.4 billion) increase in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows for claim costs
following a review of morbidity, mortality and lapse assumptions. This was mainly driven by higher utilization of benefits due to
the impact of higher inflation in the cost-of-care, and also reflects the benefit of in-force management initiatives related to
fraud, waste and abuse programs. The impact from utilization was partially offset by updates to reflect higher terminations. The
impacts of updating incidence, active life mortality1, lapse and other refinements were all relatively small.
The review of assumed future premium increases resulted in a $1.5 billion (US$1.1 billion) decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash
flows. This reflects expected future net premium increases that are due to the outstanding amounts from prior state filings as
well as to the 2025 review of morbidity, mortality, and lapse assumptions. Since the last triennial review in 2022, the Company
has received, as of September 30, 2025, actual premium increase approvals of $3.2 billion pre-tax (US$2.3 billion pre-tax) on
1  Actual experience obtaining premium increases could be materially different than what the Company has assumed, resulting in further increases or decreases in
pre-tax fulfilment cash flows, which could be material.
Manulife Financial Corporation – Third Quarter 2026

a present value basis. This exceeds the amount of premium increases assumed in the pre-tax fulfilment cash flows by
$0.5 billion (US$0.3 billion) at that time.1
Mortality and morbidity updates
Mortality and morbidity updates resulted in a decrease in pre-tax fulfilment cash flows of $39.
The decrease was mainly driven by a morbidity study of group long-term disability benefits in Canada related to claim
termination, partially offset by other items that netted to a modest residual increase in fulfilment cash flows.
(f)Reinsurance Transactions
Agreement with Reinsurance Group of America
On November 20, 2024, the Company announced it entered into an agreement with Reinsurance Group of America,
Incorporated (“RGA”) to reinsure policies from the U.S. LTC and U.S. structured settlement legacy blocks. Under the terms of
the transaction, the Company retained responsibility for the administration of the policies, with no intended impact to
policyholders. The transaction was structured as a 75% quota share for both the LTC and structured settlements blocks.
The transaction closed on January 2, 2025, with an effective date of January 1, 2025, with the Company transferring invested
assets of $5.4 billion and reinsuring insurance contract liabilities of $5.2 billion. The Company recognized a reinsurance
contractual service margin of $201.
Agreement with Munich Re
On August 5, 2026, the Company announced it entered into an agreement with Munich American Reassurance Company, a
subsidiary of Munich Re to reinsure 80% of the biometric risk on a block of LTC policies with $3.2 billion of insurance contract
liabilities. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company retained responsibility for the administration of the policies, with no
intended impact to policyholders.
The transaction closed on October 1, 2026 with an effective date of July 1, 2026. The financial impact of the transaction will be
reflected in the Company’s fourth quarter 2026 results.
Note 6    Investment Contract Assets and Liabilities
(a)Carrying Value and Fair Value of Investment Contract Assets and Liabilities
Investment contract liabilities are contractual financial obligations of the Company that do not contain significant insurance risk.
Those contracts are subsequently measured either at fair value or at amortized cost.
The following table presents the gross carrying and fair values of investment contract liabilities, the carrying and fair values of
reinsurance financial assets and the net carrying value and fair values of investment contract liabilities for the periods

Note 7    Risk Management
The Company’s policies and procedures for managing risk related to financial instruments and insurance contracts can be
found in note 8 of the Company’s 2025 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. The risks to which the Company is exposed
at the end of the reporting period are representative of risks it is typically exposed to throughout the reporting period. The
following disclosures are in accordance with IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”.
(a)Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss due to inability or unwillingness of a borrower, or counterparty, to fulfill its payment obligations.
Worsening regional and global economic conditions, segment or industry sector challenges, or company specific factors could
result in defaults or downgrades and could lead to increased provisions or impairments related to the Company’s general fund
invested assets.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is managed through risk management policies and procedures which include a defined
credit evaluation and adjudication process, delegated credit approval authorities and established exposure limits by borrower,
corporate connection, credit rating, industry and geographic region. The Company measures derivative counterparty exposure
as net potential credit exposure, which takes into consideration fair values of all transactions with each counterparty, net of any
collateral held, and an allowance to reflect future potential exposure. Reinsurance counterparty exposure is measured
reflecting the level of ceded liabilities.
The Company also ensures where warranted, that mortgages, private placements and loans to Bank clients are secured by
collateral, the nature of which depends on the credit risk of the counterparty.
Credit risk associated with derivative counterparties is discussed in note 7 (d).

(IV)Sensitivity to Changes in Economic Assumptions
The following table shows the actual probability-weighted ECL allowance recorded by the Company which results from using
all four macroeconomic scenarios (including the more heavily weighted best estimate base case scenario, one upside and two
downside scenarios) weighted by probability of occurrence and shows the ECL allowance which would result from using only
the base case scenario.

(c)Credit Default Swaps
The Company replicates exposure to specific issuers by selling credit protection via credit default swaps (“CDS”) to
complement its cash debt securities investing. The Company does not write CDS protection more than its government bond
holdings.
The following tables present details of the credit default swap protection sold by type of contract and external agency rating for
the underlying reference security.

(1)Notional amounts represent the maximum future payments the Company would have to pay its counterparties assuming a default of the underlying credit and
zero recovery on the underlying issuer obligations.
(2)The weighted average maturity of the CDS is weighted based on notional amounts.
(3)Ratings are based on S&P where available followed by Moody’s, Morningstar DBRS, and Fitch. If no rating is available from a rating agency, an internally
developed rating is used.
(4)The Company held $nil purchased credit protection as at September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 – $nil).
(d)Derivatives
The Company’s point-in-time exposure to losses related to credit risk of a derivative counterparty is limited to the amount of
any net gains that may have accrued with the particular counterparty. Gross derivative counterparty exposure is measured as
the total fair value (including accrued interest) of all outstanding contracts in a gain position excluding any offsetting contracts
in a loss position and the impact of collateral on hand. The Company limits the risk of credit losses from derivative
counterparties by: using investment grade counterparties, entering into master netting arrangements which permit the
offsetting of contracts in a loss position in the case of a counterparty default and entering into Credit Support Annex
agreements whereby collateral must be provided when the exposure exceeds a certain threshold.
All contracts are held with or guaranteed by investment grade counterparties, the majority of whom are rated A- or higher. As at
September 30, 2026, the percentage of the Company’s derivative exposure with counterparties rated AA- or higher was 30 per
cent (December 31, 2025 – 29 per cent). As at September 30, 2026, the largest single counterparty exposure, without taking
into consideration the impact of master netting agreements or the benefit of collateral held, was $1,844 (December 31, 2025 –
$1,386). The net exposure to this counterparty, after taking into consideration master netting agreements and the fair value of
collateral held, was $nil (December 31, 2025 – $nil).
(e)Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Certain derivatives, securities lent and repurchase agreements have conditional offset rights. The Company does not offset
these financial instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, as the rights of offset are conditional.
In the case of derivatives, collateral is collected from and pledged to counterparties and clearing houses to manage credit risk
exposure in accordance with Credit Support Annexes to swap agreements and clearing agreements. Under master netting
agreements, the Company has a right of offset in the event of default, insolvency, bankruptcy or other early termination.
In the case of reverse repurchase and repurchase transactions, additional collateral may be collected from or pledged to
counterparties to manage credit exposure according to bilateral reverse repurchase or repurchase agreements. In the event of
default by a reverse repurchase transaction counterparty, the Company is entitled to liquidate the collateral held to offset
against the same counterparty’s obligation.

The Company also has certain credit linked note assets and variable surplus note liabilities which have unconditional offsetting
rights. Under the netting agreements, the Company has rights of offset including in the event of the Company’s default,
insolvency, or bankruptcy. These financial instruments are offset in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
A credit linked note is a debt instrument the term of which, in this case, is linked to a variable surplus note. A surplus note is a
subordinated debt obligation that often qualifies as surplus (the U.S. statutory equivalent of equity) by some U.S. state
insurance regulators. Interest payments on surplus notes are made after all other contractual payments are made. The
following tables present the effect of unconditional netting.

and interest to September 11, 2036, discounted at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, together with accrued and unpaid interest. On September 11, 2036,

on London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)) include the 2.818% subordinated debentures and 4.061% subordinated notes, respectively. Future rate resets for
these capital instruments may rely on alternative reference rates such as Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average, the alternative rate for CDOR, and the
Secured Overnight Financing Rate, the alternative rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR. As at September 30, 2026, the interest rate benchmark reform has not resulted in
material changes in the Company’s risk management strategy.
(6)Designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in its U.S. operations which reduces the earnings volatility that would otherwise arise from the re-
measurement of the subordinated notes into Canadian dollars.

September 30, 2026, the fair value of capital instruments was $8,626 (December 31, 2025 – $7,121) which was determined
using Level 2 valuation techniques (December 31, 2025 – Level 2).

by the Board of Directors. Non-deferrable distributions are payable to all LRCN holders semi-annually at the Company’s discretion.
(2)Redemption of all preferred shares is subject to regulatory approval. MFC may redeem each series, in whole or in part, at par, on the earliest redemption dates
or every five years thereafter, except for Class A Series 2 and Class A Series 3 preferred shares. Class A Series 2 and Series 3 preferred shares are past their

June 19, commencing in 2026. MFC did not exercise its option to redeem LRCN Series 1 during the 2026 redemption period; accordingly, the next five year
redemption period will occur from May 19, 2031 to June 19, 2031. The redemption period for LRCN Series 2 is every five years during the period from February
19 to and including March 19, commencing in 2027. After the first redemption date on June 19, 2027, the redemption period for LRCN Series 3 is every five

Normal course issuer bid
On February 19, 2026, the Company received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) to launch a normal course
issuer bid (the “2026 NCIB”), permitting the purchase for cancellation of up to 42 million of its common shares, representing
approximately 2.5% of its common shares outstanding as at January 31, 2026. Purchases under the 2026 NCIB commenced
on February 24, 2026, and may continue until February 23, 2027, when the 2026 NCIB expires, or such earlier date as the
Company completes its purchases.
The Company’s 2025 NCIB was approved by the TSX on February 19, 2025, permitting the purchase for cancellation of up to
51.5 million common shares, representing approximately 3.0% of common shares outstanding as at February 12, 2025. The
2025 NCIB expired on February 23, 2026.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company purchased for cancellation 26.8 million shares (2025 – 40.7
million shares) for $1,456 (pre-tax), including 24.0 million shares for $1,313 under the 2026 NCIB, and 2.8 million shares for
$143 under the previous NCIB, and incurred $25 tax on net repurchases of equity (2025 – $1,741 under NCIB and $32 tax). Of
this, $322 was recorded in Common shares and $1,159 was recorded in Shareholders and other equity holders’ retained
earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity (2025 – $487 and $1,286, respectively).

assuming the outstanding stock-based awards are (i) exercised and (ii) then reduced by the number of shares assumed to be repurchased from the issuance
proceeds, using the average market price of MFC common shares for the period.
Note 11    Revenue from Service Contracts
The Company provides investment management services, transaction processing and administrative services and distribution
and related services to proprietary and third-party investment funds, retirement plans, group benefit plans, institutional
investors and other arrangements. The Company also provides real estate management services to tenants of the Company’s
investment properties.
The Company’s service contracts generally impose single performance obligations, each consisting of a series of similar
related services for each customer.
The Company’s performance obligations within service arrangements are generally satisfied over time as the customer
simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services rendered, measured using an output method. Fees related
to services provided typically include variable consideration and the related revenue is recognized to the extent that it is highly
probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.
Asset-based fees vary with asset values of accounts under management, subject to market conditions and investor behaviours
beyond the Company’s control. Transaction processing and administrative fees vary with activity volumes, also beyond the
Company’s control. Some fees, including distribution fees, are based on account balances and transaction volumes. Fees
related to account balances and transaction volumes are measured daily.
Real estate management service fees include fixed portions plus recovery of variable costs of services rendered to tenants.
The Company has determined that its service contracts have no significant financing components because fees are collected
monthly. The Company has no significant contract assets or contract liabilities.

Note 13    Commitments and Contingencies
(a)Legal Proceedings
The Company is regularly involved in legal actions, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The legal actions where the
Company is a party ordinarily relate to its activities as a provider of insurance protection or wealth management products,
reinsurance, or in its capacity as an investment adviser, employer, or taxpayer. Other life insurers and asset managers,
operating in the jurisdictions in which the Company does business, have been subject to a wide variety of other types of
actions, some of which resulted in substantial judgments or settlements against the defendants; it is possible that the
Company may become involved in similar actions in the future. In addition, government and regulatory bodies in Canada, the
United States, Asia and other jurisdictions where the Company conducts business regularly make inquiries and, from time to
time, require the production of information or conduct examinations concerning the Company’s compliance with, among other
things, insurance laws, securities laws, and laws governing the activities of broker-dealers.
In September 2023, a lawsuit was initiated against the Company in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York
as a putative class action on behalf of all current and former owners of universal life insurance policies issued by the Company
that state that “cost of insurance rates will be based on future expectations that include taxes.” The Plaintiff’s theory is that the
Company failed to properly adjust the Non-Guaranteed Elements applicable to these policies after the implementation of the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2018. It is too early in the litigation to offer any reliable opinion about the scope of the class policies
that may be at issue or the likely outcome.

Note 15    Segregated Funds
The Company manages a number of segregated funds on behalf of policyholders. Policyholders are provided with the
opportunity to invest in different categories of segregated funds that hold a range of underlying investments. The underlying
investments consist of both mutual funds and individual securities.
Segregated funds’ underlying investments may be exposed to a variety of financial and other risks. These risks are primarily
mitigated by investment guidelines that are actively monitored by professional and experienced portfolio advisors. The
Company is not exposed to these risks beyond the liabilities related to the guarantees associated with certain variable life and
annuity products included in segregated funds. Accordingly, the Company’s exposure to loss from segregated fund products is
limited to the value of these guarantees.
As at September 30, 2026, these guarantees are recorded within the Company’s insurance contract liabilities and amount to
$552 (December 31, 2025 – $1,266), of which $119 are reinsured (December 31, 2025 – $423). Assets supporting these
guarantees, net of reinsurance, are recognized in invested assets according to their investment type. Insurance contract
liabilities for account of segregated fund holders on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position exclude these
guarantees and are considered to be a non-distinct investment component of insurance contract liabilities.
