We also entered into an agreement in 4Q24 for a second LTC reinsurance transaction in less than 12 months on a younger LTC block, further validating the prudence of our reserves and assumptions. These transactions also further transformed our business profile to higher return and lower risk. In Asia, we expanded Manulife Pro, our proprietary proposition for top-tier agents, to Indonesia, Japan and Hong Kong. The proposition provides select agents with differentiated resources and tools, including dedicated underwriting support and enhanced customer engagement services with access to customer leads. This initiative contributed to improved agent productivity, demonstrated by our 23% year-over-year growth in agency APE sales in 2024. With this expansion, Manulife Pro is now available in five of our markets10. In addition, we further addressed the complex and evolving financial needs of high-net-worth individuals through a focus on innovative customer solutions. This includes the launch of two new products that cater to the protection, legacy planning and wealth management needs of high-net-worth customers. In Global WAM, we completed the acquisition of CQS, a U.K.-based multi-sector alternative credit manager, which positively contributed to Global WAM net flows and core earnings in 2024. We have leveraged these expanded investment capabilities to launch the John Hancock Multi Asset Credit Fund in U.S. Retail. This fund is a strong addition to our growing lineup of liquid and semi-liquid alternative offerings which are part of our larger credit franchise. In Canada, we introduced a guaranteed issue life product, designed to provide accessible life insurance coverage with guaranteed fixed premiums for a wide range of individuals seeking straightforward and reliable life insurance coverage. Also, we refreshed our suite of segregated fund options with a new product that features a simplified, all-inclusive fee structure and offers Canadians an investment solution to help with their estate planning needs. In the U.S., we entered into a strategic distribution collaboration with Annexus — one of the nation's leading independent retirement planning product design and distribution companies — to expand our portfolio of indexed account offerings and reach a wider market with our Protection Indexed Universal Life solution. We have made significant progress on our ambition to be the most digital, customer-centric company in our industry We are driving value from generative AI by rapidly scaling use cases across our organization. We had 27 use cases in production, with another 32 in development at the end of 2024. Our continued investment in foundational capabilities has put us in a strong position, and enabled faster and easier execution in deploying AI-based solutions. We are able to quickly scale use cases, enhancing value for our customers and our business. In Asia, we strengthened agent-customer interactions through the launch of an innovative generative AI sales tool in both Singapore and Japan. It enables our agents to automatically create personalized engagement strategies to offer customers the right solutions at the right time based on their needs, preferences, demographic data and transaction histories. In Global WAM, we advanced and broadened our wealth planning and advice business with the implementation of a new advisor retail wealth platform and an AI-powered planning tool in Canada, and a new AI-powered sales enablement app in Asia. These tools improve productivity for advisors and agents and deliver an enhanced digital experience for investors. In Canada, we entered into a multi-year loyalty rewards partnership agreement with Aeroplan. We launched the Aeroplan Rewards and Challenges program in the Manulife mobile app that enables eligible group benefits plan members to earn reward points by completing programs and benefits-related activities to encourage health and well-being. In the U.S., we continued to modernize the end-to-end purchase and delivery process by introducing a term solution with digital policy delivery, payment capabilities, and easy registration process to the Life Customer Storefront as well as Vitality's website. Record core earnings for full year and 4Q24 reflecting strong growth in our highest potential businesses11 Core earnings of $7.2 billion in 2024, up 8% from 2023, and $1.9 billion in 4Q24, up 6% from 4Q23 The increase in 2024 reflected strong business growth led by Global WAM and Asia, and a lower net charge in the provision for Expected Credit Loss, which more than offset the impacts of GMT and reinsurance transactions that were closed earlier in 2024. Excluding the impact of GMT, full year 2024 core earnings increased 10% from the prior year4. In 4Q24, strong momentum continued in Global WAM, Asia and Canada where we generated double-digit growth compared with 4Q23. Asia core earnings were up 16% in 4Q24, reflecting continued business growth momentum and impacts from the annual updates to actuarial methods and assumptions. Global WAM core earnings increased 34% primarily driven by higher net fee income from favourable market impacts and positive net flows. In addition, 4Q24 core earnings benefited from certain non- recurring tax true-ups and tax benefits, performance fees from CQS, and continued expense discipline. In Canada, more favourable insurance experience overall, and business growth in Group Insurance drove an 11% increase in 4Q24 core earnings. U.S. core earnings decreased 16%, reflecting lower investment spreads, impacts from the previously completed reinsurance transaction and the annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions. In Corporate and Other, core earnings decreased $72 million, mainly due to the impact of GMT and higher interest on capital allocated to operating segments. Net Income attributed to shareholders of $5.4 billion in 2024, $0.3 billion higher compared with 2023, and $1.6 billion in 4Q24, in line with 4Q23 The $0.3 billion increase in 2024 net income was driven by core earnings growth and improved market experience, partially offset by a higher net charge related to the updates to actuarial methods and assumptions and lower tax- related benefits. The net charge from market experience in 2024 was primarily related to lower-than-expected returns on alternative long-duration assets ("ALDA"), driven by real estate and private equity investments, as well as realized loss due to the sale of debt instruments related to the reinsurance transactions that were closed in 2024. This realized loss due to the sale of debt instruments was broadly offset by an associated change in Other Comprehensive Income, resulting in a neutral impact to book value. 4Q24 net income was in line with prior year, as core earnings growth offset the non-recurrence of the impact from updates to actuarial methods and assumptions in 4Q23. The net charge from market experience in 4Q24 was primarily related to lower-than-expected returns on public equity and lower-than-expected returns on ALDA, driven by real estate investments. 30%+ increases in insurance new business results and $13.3 billion of net inflows in Global WAM APE sales, new business CSM and NBV hit record levels in 2024 and increased 30%, 32% and 32%, respectively, year-over-year. We achieved our four best quarters ever in 2024 for all three metrics Asia led with continued momentum throughout 2024 and achieved substantial top-line growth, generating 36%, 38% and 35% increases in APE sales, new business CSM and NBV, respectively, driven by broad- based growth across Asia, led by Hong Kong. NBV margin7 remained resilient at 40.7%. In Canada, APE sales and NBV increased 20% and 28%, respectively, driven by higher sales volumes in Group Insurance across all group benefits markets, in participating life insurance and in segregated fund products. New business CSM increased 59%, benefiting from higher sales volumes and higher margins from Individual Insurance and Annuities. In the U.S., APE sales and NBV increased 9% and 14%, respectively, mainly related to increased demand from affluent customers for accumulation insurance products. New business CSM decreased 5% driven by product mix and the impact of interest rates, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Our 4Q24 new business results demonstrated strong momentum with year-over-year growth of 42%, 32% and 31% in APE sales, new business CSM and NBV, respectively Asia continued to generate positive momentum in 4Q24 and grew APE sales, new business CSM and NBV by 63%, 38% and 37%, respectively, driven by broad-based growth across Asia. Canada increased APE sales, new business CSM and NBV by 4%, 66% and 21%, respectively, reflecting strong sales growth in participating life insurance and segregated fund products. Lower Group Insurance sales modestly impacted the overall growth in APE sales and NBV. In the U.S., 4Q24 APE sales and NBV increased 7% and 17%, respectively, driven by increased demand from affluent customers for accumulation insurance products. New business CSM decreased 5% driven by product mix and the impact of interest rates, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Global WAM net inflows of $13.3 billion in 2024, $8.8 billion higher compared with net inflows of $4.5 billion in 2023, reflecting strong retail net flows and improved net flows in retirement. This contributes to Global WAM's track record of generating positive net flows in 14 out of the past 15 years Retirement net inflows of $0.7 billion in 2024 increased from net outflows of $4.0 billion in 2023, primarily driven by the non-recurrence of large-case retirement plan redemptions by a single sponsor in the U.S. and higher new retirement plan sales, partially offset by higher member withdrawals. Retail net inflows of $6.8 billion in 2024 increased from net outflows of $0.5 billion in 2023, driven by increased demand for investment products amid a constructive equity market and improved investor sentiment. Institutional Asset Management net inflows of $5.7 billion in 2024 decreased compared with net inflows of $9.0 billion in 2023, reflecting lower net flows from fixed income and equity mandates. Global WAM net inflows of $1.2 billion in 4Q24, increased $2.5 billion compared with net outflows of $1.3 billion in 4Q23, driven by continued strong retail net flows across all geographies Retirement net outflows of $1.9 billion in 4Q24 improved from net outflows of $2.5 billion in 4Q23, primarily driven by the non-recurrence of a large-case retirement plan redemption in the U.S. and higher member contributions, partially offset by higher withdrawals. Retail net inflows of $1.3 billion in 4Q24 improved from net outflows of $1.0 billion in 4Q23, driven by increased demand for investment products amid a constructive equity market and improved investor sentiment. Institutional Asset Management net inflows of $1.8 billion in 4Q24 decreased compared with net inflows of $2.1 billion in 4Q23, as higher net flows from fixed income mandates were more than offset by lower net flows in equity mandates. CSM balance increased 3% with contribution from organic CSM movement of 6%4,7 CSM was $22,127 million as at December 31, 2024 CSM increased $1,687 million compared with December 31, 2023. Organic CSM movement contributed $1,231 million of the increase in 2024, driven by the impact of new business and interest accretion, partially offset by amortization recognized in core earnings and unfavourable insurance experience. Inorganic CSM movement was an increase of $456 million in 2024, primarily driven by the favourable impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the impacts of reinsurance transactions and the annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions. Post-tax CSM net of NCI3 was $19,682 million as at December 31, 2024. ____________________________________ (1) Comprised of annualized premium equivalent ("APE") sales, new business contractual service margin net of NCI ("new business CSM"), new business value ("NBV"), and Global Wealth and Asset Management ("Global WAM") net flows.

All such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbour" provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws and the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements in this document include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to our strategic priorities and targets and potential future common share repurchases, and also relate to, among other things, our objectives, goals, strategies, intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations and estimates, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as "may", "will", "could", "should", "would", "likely", "suspect", "outlook", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "forecast", "objective", "seek", "aim", "continue", "goal", "restore", "embark" and "endeavour" (or the negative thereof) and words and expressions of similar import, and include statements concerning possible or assumed future results. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements and they should not be interpreted as confirming market or analysts' expectations in any way. Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include but are not limited to: general business and economic conditions (including but not limited to the performance, volatility and correlation of equity markets, interest rates, credit and swap spreads, inflation rates, currency rates, investment losses and defaults, market liquidity and creditworthiness of guarantors, reinsurers and counterparties); changes in laws and regulations; changes in accounting standards applicable in any of the territories in which we operate; changes in regulatory capital requirements; our ability to obtain premium rate increases on in-force policies; our ability to execute strategic plans and changes to strategic plans; downgrades in our financial strength or credit ratings; our ability to maintain our reputation; impairments of goodwill or intangible assets or the establishment of provisions against future tax assets; the accuracy of estimates relating to morbidity, mortality and policyholder behaviour; the accuracy of other estimates used in applying accounting policies and actuarial methods; our ability to implement effective hedging strategies and unforeseen consequences arising from such strategies; our ability to source appropriate assets to back our long-dated liabilities; level of competition and consolidation; our ability to market and distribute products through current and future distribution channels; unforeseen liabilities or asset impairments arising from acquisitions and dispositions of businesses; the realization of losses arising from the sale of investments classified fair value through other comprehensive income; our liquidity, including the availability of financing to satisfy existing financial liabilities on expected maturity dates when required; obligations to pledge additional collateral; the availability of letters of credit to provide capital management flexibility; accuracy of information received from counterparties and the ability of counterparties to meet their obligations; the availability, affordability and adequacy of reinsurance; legal and regulatory proceedings, including tax audits, tax litigation or similar proceedings; our ability to adapt products and services to the changing market; our ability to attract and retain key executives, employees and agents; the appropriate use and interpretation of complex models or deficiencies in models used; political, legal, operational and other risks associated with our non-North American operations; geopolitical uncertainty, including international conflicts; acquisitions and our ability to complete acquisitions including the availability of equity and debt financing for this purpose; the disruption of or changes to key elements of the Company's or public infrastructure systems; environmental concerns, including climate change; our ability to protect our intellectual property and exposure to claims of infringement; our inability to withdraw cash from subsidiaries 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). Additional information about material risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations and about material factors or assumptions applied in making forward-looking statements may be found in our 2024 Management's Discussion and Analysis under "Risk Management and Risk Factors" and "Critical Actuarial and Accounting Policies" and in the "Risk Management" note to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as elsewhere in our filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators.
