Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Manulife Financial Corporation reported full-year and fourth-quarter 2025 results highlighted by record core earnings of $7.5 billion, up 3% on a constant exchange rate basis, and core EPS of $4.21, up 8%. Net income attributed to shareholders was $5.6 billion, up 2%, while reported EPS reached $3.07, up 6%.

Core ROE was 16.5% for 2025 and 17.1% in 4Q25, with the LICAT ratio at 136%. Insurance growth was strong: 2025 APE sales rose 14%, new business increased 28% and NBV grew 18%. Asia and Global segments drove double‑digit core earnings growth, while the U.S. segment saw lower core earnings.

Manulife returned $5.4 billion to shareholders in 2025, including repurchasing 54.4 million common shares, or 3.1% of shares outstanding, for $2.4 billion and paying dividends. The Board approved a 10.2% increase in the quarterly common dividend to $0.485 per share and announced a new NCIB permitting repurchase of up to approximately 2.5% of outstanding common shares, subject to TSX approval.

Positive

  • Record profitability and higher capital returns: 2025 core earnings reached $7.5 billion with core EPS up 8% and core ROE at 16.5%, while Manulife raised its quarterly dividend by 10.2% to $0.485 per share and repurchased 3.1% of common shares, signalling strong capital generation.
  • Strong insurance growth across regions: 2025 APE sales increased 14%, new business rose 28%, and NBV grew 18%, with Asia, Canada and the U.S. all contributing, supporting future contractual service margin expansion and earnings visibility.

Negative

  • Weakness in asset flows and U.S. performance: Global wealth and asset management swung to $14.3 billion of net outflows from $13.3 billion of inflows in 2024, while the U.S. segment reported a $527 million net loss and a 30% decline in core earnings, pressured by market experience and claims.

Insights

Record core earnings, strong insurance growth, but asset flows and U.S. results lag.

Manulife delivered record 2025 core earnings of $7.5 billion with core EPS up 8%, driven by Asia and Global wealth and asset management. Core ROE of 16.5% and a LICAT ratio of 136% indicate solid profitability and capital strength.

Insurance franchises performed well: APE sales rose 14%, new business grew 28%, and NBV increased 18%, with Asia showing broad-based double‑digit expansion. Management also completed the acquisition of Comvest Credit Partners and agreed to enter India via a joint venture with Mahindra, supporting longer-term growth.

However, Global wealth and asset management recorded $14.3 billion of net outflows versus $13.3 billion of inflows in 2024, and the U.S. segment posted a $527 million net loss and a 30% drop in core earnings. Despite these pressures, Manulife raised its quarterly dividend by 10.2% and bought back 3.1% of shares in 2025, plus intends to repurchase up to a further 2.5% under a new NCIB, underscoring confidence in cash generation.

launch of our refreshed strategy. We delivered 20% plus new business CSM growth across all insurance
segments, contributing to double-digit growth in our CSM balance and positioning us well for future earnings

acquisition of Comvest Credit Partners, the announcement of our entry into India’s life insurance market
through a joint venture with Mahindra9, the establishment of a high-net-worth office in the Dubai International
Financial Centre, and an agreement to acquire Schroders Indonesia10. These actions expand the range of
world-class investment and insurance solutions we offer our customers. And, Evident AI recognized Manulife

an AI-powered organization and deploying AI technology to improve customer experiences, enhance
productivity, and deliver tangible value.
“We will build on our momentum in 2026. While macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty remains, our
continued focus on disciplined execution, our diversified business and our winning team and culture position us
well to seize the opportunities ahead, achieve our targets, and deliver high quality, sustainable growth for the
long term.”12
— Phil Witherington, Manulife President & Chief Executive Officer
Manulife delivered strong financial performance in 2025. Core earnings within our high-growth businesses,
Asia and Global WAM, increased 18% and 14%, respectively, and core EBITDA margin5 improved by 260
basis points in Global WAM. Our robust cash generation, as evidenced by $6.4 billion of remittances, enabled
us to flexibly deploy capital, returning $5.4 billion to shareholders in 2025, while continuing to support our
growth trajectory. And today we announced an increase of 10.2% to our dividend per share and our intention to
repurchase up to 2.5% of our outstanding common shares, reflecting our disciplined approach to capital
allocation.

Strategic Highlights
We are well-positioned to make significant progress on the refreshed strategy we announced in November 2025 to
achieve sustainable long-term growth. Throughout 2025, we undertook various initiatives that equipped us to
deliver on our new and elevated strategic priorities.
Winning Team and Culture
For the sixth year in a row, we have achieved a top quartile employee engagement rank.13 In addition, Manulife
was included in the TIME World’s Best Companies (2025) list and won the 2025 Gallup Exceptional Workplace
Award. We were also recognized by Forbes as one of the World’s Best Employers and one of the World’s Top
Companies for Women, and included in their World’s Best Life Insurance Companies list.
Diversified Business Portfolio
In Asia, we agreed to establish a 50:50 life insurance joint venture with Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (“Mahindra”), an
existing partner through our asset management joint venture, to enter the India insurance market.9 This
partnership will expand our global footprint and position us to grow across one of the world’s largest economies,
delivering long-term value.
In addition, we became the first international life insurer to establish an office in the Dubai International Financial
Centre dedicated to advising on and arranging life insurance contracts to high-net-worth (“HNW”) customers. This
strategic move deepens our presence in the Middle East and enhances our ability to address the growing wealth
and protection needs of HNW and ultra-HNW individuals in the region.
In Global WAM, we acquired 75% of Comvest Credit Partners (“Comvest”), a U.S. private credit manager with
$17.5 billion of AUM as at the acquisition date.2 The acquisition will enhance our private credit capabilities and
create a comprehensive platform by aligning Comvest and Manulife’s existing senior credit team.12 By leveraging
Comvest’s investment philosophy and expertise, we can offer clients expanded access to differentiated private
credit strategies.
We also entered into an agreement to acquire PT Schroder Investment Management Indonesia (“Schroders
Indonesia”), strengthening our position as the largest asset manager in Indonesia. It will enable us to deliver
enhanced value to our clients and stakeholders by leveraging the firm’s local expertise and client relationships.10
In Canada, we launched a simplified specialized lending suite of products in Manulife Bank to streamline the
lending experience for advisors serving HNW clients and business owners. This emphasizes our focus on
removing friction, enhancing clarity, and delivering smarter, faster, and more personalized solutions for advisors
and customers.
In the U.S, we diversified our portfolio with new offerings and enhancements, including a new accumulation
survivorship indexed universal life product, a new hybrid indexed universal life insurance solution offering more
flexible living benefits and a streamlined digital application process, and a new variable universal life insurance
solution with improved fund selection and index loans.
Empowering Customer Health, Wealth, and Longevity
We launched the Manulife Longevity Institute, a global platform for research, thought leadership, innovation,
advocacy and community partnerships. Through this unified platform, we are investing $350 million through 2030
to help people live longer, healthier, and more financially secure lives.
We further leveraged our strategic partnership with GRAIL and launched various initiatives across our segments,
including expanded access to the Galleri® multi-cancer early detection test to eligible Manulife Vitality program
members in Canada and to eligible plan participants in U.S. Retirement.
In Asia, we agreed to establish a strategic collaboration with Bupa International Limited, a global healthcare
company, to create a more robust and integrated healthcare network for our customers. By combining the
strengths of both organizations, this collaboration in Hong Kong aims to expand customer access to high-quality
care while enhancing convenience, value, and affordability through integrated healthcare solutions and
personalized support throughout their healthcare journey.
Furthermore, we enhanced our flagship lifestyle program, ManulifeMOVE, with expanded health and wellness
benefits, and launched it at the Manulife Longevity Symposium in Singapore and in the Philippines, reinforcing our
commitment to advancing Asia’s longevity movement.
In Canada, we also partnered with Maven Clinic, the world’s largest virtual clinic for women’s and family health14,
to offer eligible Group Benefits members 24/7 virtual access to personalized support during some of their most
important stages of life, including fertility, maternity, parenting, and menopause. This initiative addresses critical
care gaps that impact women’s health and workforce participation.
4
In the U.S., we empowered eligible John Hancock Vitality members with early detection technology and resources
to proactively manage their health, including access to Function Health’s technology and health screening tools,
and access to continuous glucose monitoring technology and dietitian support.
AI-powered Organization
We deployed GenAI sales enablement solutions across nine markets and multiple business lines in all four
operating segments, delivering measurable results, accelerating information access and elevating client
interactions. These GenAI-powered solutions empowered agents, advisors and distribution partners with
personalized engagement insights, automated email drafting, and real-time coaching to drive sales performance.
Examples include:
In Asia, we launched advanced AI-enabled agency tools across the region to enhance sales support and
improve customer experience. In Indonesia, Singapore and Japan, we rolled out AI assistants to provide faster
access to product and policy information and streamline administrative tasks. In Hong Kong, we launched AI
Sales Pro – a GenAI-powered tool that helps agents identify top sales opportunities, craft personalized
customer solutions, and access critical know-how to drive business performance.
In Canada, we introduced an innovative GenAI tool in our Individual Insurance business that automatically
generates personalized communications to advisors by analyzing historical data and identifying available
opportunities. This tool enables our internal sales team to deliver timely, relevant, and actionable messages to
drive meaningful interactions and enhance collaboration with advisors.
In Global WAM, we incorporated a suite of AI-powered research tools to enhance investment analysis for our
public markets investment research teams. By integrating internal and external data into actionable insights, we
streamline our research process, accelerate decision-making, and empower our investment professionals to focus
on driving value for our clients.
In the U.S., we partnered with Munich Re Life US to enhance underwriting efficiency through alitheia, its AI-driven
risk assessment platform, raising instant underwriting decision eligibility from US$3 million to US$5 million,
enabling more customers to experience a streamlined life insurance application process.
In addition, we deployed GenAI capabilities to improve outcomes in our in-force Long Term Care (“LTC”) insurance
business, including further enhancements to automated claims processing and predictive analytics to detect and
reduce fraud, waste and abuse.
Superior Distribution
In Asia, we renewed our bancassurance partnership in the Philippines with China Banking Corporation
(“Chinabank”), extending our exclusive partnership until 2039. This strategic partnership, which started in 2007,
solidifies the two organizations’ shared commitment to providing holistic life, wealth, and health solutions for the
long-term financial security of Filipino families.
In Global WAM, we enhanced the Manulife iFUNDS platform, making it the first integrated digital wealth solution in
Singapore that offers advisors a unified view of clients’ Unit Trust and Investment-Linked Plan (“ILP”) holdings. By
integrating these into a single platform and incorporating AI-powered ILP analytics capabilities, the enhancements
streamline portfolio oversight, accelerate transaction execution, and empower advisors to deliver more
personalized and insightful financial guidance.
In Canada, we partnered with M3 Financial Group (“M3”) to offer our Affinity Mortgage Protection Plan through
M3’s Canada-wide broker network, beginning with advisors in British Columbia. Our licensed advisors work
directly with M3’s mortgage clients to guide them through the process of purchasing the mortgage protection
coverage they need, enabling M3’s brokers to focus on servicing their core business. This initiative strengthens our
position in mortgage protection by offering more accessible, trusted protection in Canada’s housing market.
In the U.S., we enhanced our distribution footprint by expanding our wholesaling team, pursuing more targeted
growth strategies and accelerating our penetration within the U.S. high-net-worth and mass affluent markets,
contributing to the strong new business growth in 2025.
Strong business growth contributing to record core earnings in 202515
Core earnings of $7.5 billion in 2025, up 3% from 2024, and $2.0 billion in 4Q25, up 5% from 4Q24
The increase in 2025 core earnings reflected strong business growth in Global WAM, Asia and Canada, as well as
the net impact of 2025 updates to actuarial methods and assumptions, partially offset by unfavourable life
insurance claims experience in the U.S. in 2025 compared with favourable experience in the prior year, and lower
investment spreads.
5
4Q25 core earnings increased 5% year over year, reflecting continued business growth in Asia, Global WAM and
Canada, and the net impact of 2025 updates to actuarial methods and assumptions, partially offset by
unfavourable life insurance claims experience in the U.S. in 4Q25 compared with favourable experience in the
prior year quarter, lower investment spreads, and the impact of the eMPF transition in Hong Kong.
Asia core earnings increased 24% in 4Q25, reflecting continued business growth and the net impact of 2025
updates to actuarial methods and assumptions.
Global WAM core earnings increased 7%, driven by higher net fee income from favourable market impacts
over the past 12 months and the acquisition of Comvest, and continued expense discipline, partially offset by
the impact of the eMPF transition in Hong Kong and lower performance fees.
Canada core earnings were up 6%, driven by favourable insurance experience in Individual Insurance, higher
investment spreads, business growth in Group Insurance, and the net impact of 2025 updates to actuarial
methods and assumptions, partially offset by less favourable insurance experience in Group Insurance.
U.S. core earnings decreased 22%, reflecting lower investment spreads, and unfavourable life insurance
claims experience in 4Q25 compared with favourable experience in the prior year quarter.
Corporate and Other core earnings decreased $20 million, reflecting higher interest on capital allocated to
operating segments with net neutral impact across all segments.
Net Income attributed to shareholders of $5.6 billion in 2025, $0.2 billion higher compared with 2024, and
$1.5 billion in 4Q25, down $0.1 billion from 4Q24
The $0.2 billion increase in 2025 net income was driven by core earnings growth and lower restructuring related
charges, partially offset by a larger net charge from market experience. The net charge from market experience in
2025 was primarily related to lower-than-expected returns on alternative long-duration assets (“ALDA”), mainly
related to real estate, private equity and timber investments, as well as a $0.7 billion realized loss due to the sale
of debt instruments related to the RGA U.S. Reinsurance Transaction16, partially offset by higher-than-expected
returns on public equities. The realized loss from the sale of debt instruments was offset by an associated change
in Other Comprehensive Income, resulting in a neutral impact to book value.
4Q25 net income was $0.1 billion lower compared with prior year quarter, as core earnings growth and lower
restructuring related charges were more than offset by a larger net charge from market experience. The net charge
from market experience in 4Q25 was primarily driven by lower-than-expected returns on ALDA, mainly related to
infrastructure, private equity, and real estate investments, as well as losses from derivatives and hedge accounting
ineffectiveness.
Double-digit growth in 2025 insurance new business results, highlighting the strength of our businesses
Full year 2025 APE sales, new business CSM and NBV increased 14%, 28% and 18%, respectively,
reflecting broad-based strength across our insurance segments
In Asia, we delivered double-digit growth in full year APE sales, new business CSM and NBV, with a year-over-
year increase of 18%, 27% and 20%, respectively, reflecting strong 2025 performance across the region, led
by Hong Kong, mainland China, Singapore and Japan. NBV margin improved to 39.5%.7
In Canada, APE sales decreased 6%, as strong growth in Individual Insurance sales throughout 2025 was
more than offset by the non-recurrence of a significant Group Insurance large-case sale in the prior year. NBV
increased 7%, reflecting higher sales volumes in Individual Insurance and favourable product mix in Group
Insurance, partially offset by lower sales volumes in Group Insurance. New business CSM increased 22%,
reflecting higher sales volumes in Individual Insurance, and higher margins and sales volumes in Annuities.
U.S. delivered very strong new business growth in 2025 with an increase in APE sales and NBV of 24% and
22%, respectively, reflecting broad-based demand for our suite of products. Higher sales volumes and product
mix led to a 42% increase in new business CSM.
4Q25 new business CSM and NBV increased 21% and 8%, respectively, reflecting a more favourable
business mix and margin improvements, while 4Q25 APE sales were largely in line with prior year
Asia 4Q25 APE sales decreased 3% year over year, as growth in Japan and Asia Other17 was more than offset
by lower sales in Hong Kong. New business CSM and NBV increased 19% and 10%, respectively, driven by
business mix partially offset by lower sales volumes. NBV margin improved to 41.2%.
In Canada, APE sales and NBV increased 2% and 4%, respectively, reflecting growth in Individual Insurance
and Annuities, partially offset by lower sales in Group Insurance. New business CSM increased 16%, driven by
higher sales volumes and margins in Individual Insurance.
6
In the U.S., our sales momentum continued as APE sales and NBV increased 9% and 8%, respectively,
reflecting broad-based demand for our suite of products. New business CSM grew by 34%, driven by higher
sales volumes and product mix.
Global WAM net outflows of $14.3 billion in 2025, compared with net inflows of $13.3 billion in 2024
Retirement net outflows were $9.4 billion in 2025, compared with net inflows of $0.7 billion in 2024, driven by
higher retirement plan redemptions, and higher net member withdrawals reflecting higher account balances
from market growth. This was partially offset by higher new plan sales in Canada.
Retail net outflows were $12.3 billion in 2025, compared with net inflows of $6.8 billion in 2024, driven by lower
net sales through third-party intermediaries in North America and our Canada retail wealth platform.
Institutional Asset Management net inflows were $7.4 billion in 2025, compared with net inflows of $5.7 billion
in 2024, driven by higher net flows from fixed income mandates including strong contributions from our
Manulife | CQS products, and the impact of the acquisition of Comvest. This was partially offset by higher
redemptions in equity mandates and lower deployments in private markets.
Global WAM net outflows of $9.5 billion in 4Q25, compared with net inflows of $1.2 billion in 4Q24
Retirement net outflows were $7.2 billion in 4Q25, compared with net outflows of $1.9 billion in 4Q24, driven
by higher retirement plan redemptions, and higher net member withdrawals reflecting higher account balances
from market growth. This was partially offset by higher new plan sales across all geographies.
Retail net outflows were $5.6 billion in 4Q25, compared with net inflows of $1.3 billion in 4Q24, driven by lower
net sales through third-party intermediaries in North America and our Canada retail wealth platform.
Institutional Asset Management net inflows were $3.4 billion in 4Q25, compared with net inflows of $1.8 billion
in 4Q24, reflecting higher net flows from fixed income mandates, primarily driven by our Manulife | CQS
products, and money market mandates, as well as the impact of the acquisition of Comvest. This was partially
offset by higher redemptions in equity mandates and lower deployments in private markets.
New business growth continued to drive higher organic CSM and CSM balance
CSM18 was $24,969 million as at December 31, 2025
CSM increased $2,842 million compared with December 31, 2024. Organic CSM movement contributed $2,257
million of the increase in 2025, representing 10%7 growth, driven by the impact of new business, interest accretion

CSM movement was an increase of $585 million in 2025, primarily driven by the net impact of 2025 updates to
actuarial methods and assumptions and equity market performance, partially offset by the impacts of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates and reinsurance transactions. Post-tax CSM net of NCI2 was $20,733 million as
at December 31, 2025.

(1)2024 quarterly and year-to-date core earnings by segment, and 2024 full year total core earnings have been updated to align with the presentation of GMT in
2025, with a corresponding offset in items excluded from core earnings. See section “Global Minimum Tax” in our 2025 MD&A for more information.
(2)Includes the amortization of intangible assets acquired in a business combination, except for amortization of software and distribution agreements. This item is
excluded from core earnings commencing in 3Q25. Prior periods have not been restated as these amounts are not considered material, and use the definition of
core earnings in effect for those periods. See our definition of core earnings in section  “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” of the 2025 MD&A.
Global Minimum Taxes
On June 20, 2024, the Canadian government passed the Global Minimum Tax Act into law. Canada’s GMT is
applied retroactively to fiscal periods commencing on or after December 31, 2023. As additional local jurisdictions
have enacted the GMT in 2025, GMT has been recognized in net income in the reporting segments whose
earnings are subject to this tax. GMT is reported in both core earnings and items excluded from core earnings in
line with our definition of core earnings in section “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” of the 2025 MD&A.
To improve the comparability of results between 2025 and 2024, we have updated certain 2024 non-GAAP and
other financial measures to reflect the impact of GMT, including quarterly core earnings, core ROE, core EPS,
financial leverage ratio, adjusted book value per common share, new business value, and post-tax CSM net of
NCI. For further information and a complete list of the impacted financial measures, please see section “Global
Minimum Taxes” of the 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference.
Non-GAAP and other financial measures
The Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. We use a number of
non-GAAP and other financial measures to evaluate overall performance and to assess each of our businesses.
This section includes information required by National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial
Measures Disclosure in respect of “specified financial measures” (as defined therein).
Non-GAAP financial measures include core earnings (loss); core earnings excluding the impact of the change in
ECL; core earnings available to common shareholders; core earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (“core EBITDA”); core expenses; adjusted book value; post-tax contractual service margin; post-tax
contractual service margin net of NCI (“post-tax CSM net of NCI”); assets under management (“AUM”); and core
revenue. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures include the following stated on a constant exchange rate
(“CER”) basis: any of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures; net income attributed to shareholders; and
common shareholders’ net income.
Non-GAAP ratios include core return on common shareholders’ equity (“core ROE”); diluted core earnings per
common share (“core EPS”); expense efficiency ratio; adjusted book value per common share; financial leverage
ratio; core EBITDA margin; and percentage growth/decline on a constant exchange rate basis in any of the above
non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios; net income attributed to shareholders; diluted earnings per
common share (“EPS”), CSM, and new business CSM.
Other specified financial measures include remittances; NBV; APE sales; gross flows; net flows; average assets
under management and administration (“average AUMA”); NBV margin; and percentage growth/decline in these
9
foregoing specified financial measures. In addition, explanations of the components of the CSM movement, other
than the new business CSM were provided in the 2025 MD&A.
Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are not standardized financial measures under GAAP and,
therefore, might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Therefore, they
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any other financial information prepared in accordance
with GAAP. For more information on non-GAAP financial measures, including those referred to above, see the
section “Non-GAAP and other financial measures” in our 2025 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference.
