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.
