(5) Real estate experience reflects the difference between the actual value of real estate investments compared to management's longer-term expected returns supporting insurance contract liabilities ("real estate experience"). Business Group Highlights Asset Management: A global leader in both public and alternative asset classes through MFS and SLC Management Asset Management underlying net income of $300 million decreased $7 million or 2% from prior year, driven by: MFS down $10 million (down $10 million on a U.S. dollar basis): Reflecting lower fee income from lower ANA. Pre-tax net operating profit margin(1) was 35.1% for Q2'25, compared to 36.5% in the prior year, from lower ANA and lower net investment income. SLC Management up $3 million: Higher fee-related earnings mostly offset by lower net seed investment income. Fee-related earnings(1) increased 37% driven by strong capital raising and lower expenses. Fee-related earnings margin(1) was 25.9% for Q2'25, compared to 24.0% in the prior year. Reported net income of $254 million decreased $20 million or 7% from prior year, driven by market-related impacts in SLC Management. Foreign exchange translation led to an increase of $3 million in underlying net income and reported net income, respectively. Total AUM(1) at Q2'25 was $1,114 billion, consisting of $865 billion (US$635 billion) in MFS and $250 billion in SLC Management. Total Asset Management net outflows of $15.7 billion in Q2'25 reflected MFS net outflows of $19.8 billion (US$14.3 billion) driven primarily by institutional portfolio rebalancing and retail net outflows reflecting continued uncertainty in equity markets, partially offset by SLC Management net inflows of $4.1 billion from strong capital raising. MFS was named Best New ETF Issuer at the 2025 etf.com Awards(2) highlighting its new suite of innovative products, with MFS' active exchange traded fund ("ETF") net inflows reaching approximately US$585 million since the launch in late 2024. MFS continued to experience solid fixed income flows, generating US$1.6 billion in net inflows for the quarter, up 60% compared to the prior year. BentallGreenOak ("BGO") ranked fourth among the world's top private real estate managers in the 2025 PERE 100 rankings(3). The achievement reflects BGO's increase in fundraising over the prior year and its commitment to providing tailored, risk-conscious investment solutions for Clients. In April 2025, Crescent Capital Group LP ("Crescent") closed its third European specialty lending fund, raising approximately €3 billion. This fundraise represents a significant increase from its predecessor fund and continues Crescent's strategy of investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of private secured debt securities issued by European companies. Canada: A leader in health, wealth, and insurance Canada underlying net income of $379 million decreased $23 million or 6% from prior year, reflecting: Asset management & wealth down $5 million: Lower investment contributions reflecting relatively lower yields on investment contracts. Group - Health & Protection up $1 million: Favourable group life mortality experience mostly offset by less favourable morbidity experience in disability. Individual - Protection down $19 million: Unfavourable mortality experience. Reported net income of $330 million increased $38 million or 13% from prior year, driven by market-related impacts partially offset by the decrease in underlying net income. Market-related impacts were primarily driven by favourable equity market impacts and interest rate impacts primarily from non-parallel curve changes, partially offset by other market impacts. Canada's sales(4): Asset management gross flows & wealth sales of $5 billion were down 13%, driven by lower defined benefit solution sales in Group Retirement Services ("GRS") reflecting a $1.2 billion transaction in the prior year, partially offset by higher defined contribution sales in GRS from higher large case sales. Group - Health & Protection sales of $201 million were up 41%, driven by higher large case sales. Individual - Protection sales of $136 million were down 19%, reflecting lower third-party sales. We marked a significant milestone in our health business with the one-year anniversary of administering the Canadian Dental Care Plan ("CDCP"). With the recent expansion to include eligible adults aged 18-64, the CDCP is expected to make oral health care more accessible and affordable for up to nine million Canadian residents. To date, the plan has supported access to dental care for 5.2 million approved Canadians, with nearly 2.2 million already receiving care. We transitioned our Medical Second Opinion services into the Lumino Health Virtual Care platform offered by Dialogue.

Foreign exchange translation led to an increase of $2 million in underlying net income and an increase of $1 million in reported net income. U.S. group sales of US$226 million were down 7% ($313 million, down 6%), driven by lower medical stop-loss sales in Group Benefits reflecting pricing discipline in a competitive market, partially offset by higher Medicaid and commercial sales in Dental. Sun Life U.S. Employee Benefits partnered with Wellthy, a personalized care concierge platform, to make it easier for life insurance members and their families to navigate the complex challenges associated with bereavement and end-of-life care. The service offered through this partnership will help our members and their families through some of life's hardest experiences. In Health and Risk Solutions, we launched the Expert Cancer Review service, which provides members facing a cancer diagnosis with access to an objective, documented second opinion from an independent oncology specialist through the clinical expertise of Health Navigator, Sun Life's healthcare navigation and advocacy service. Sun Life's annual high-cost claims report shows that cancer consistently ranks as the most common and costly condition across the country. Second opinions can have significant impact on the patient's health journey, potentially avoiding misdiagnoses, sparing people from unnecessary treatments, uncovering better-tailored therapies, and reducing medical costs.

Foreign exchange translation led to an increase of $4 million in underlying net income and an increase of $3 million in reported net income. Asia's sales(3): Individual sales of $727 million were up 24%, driven by higher sales in: Hong Kong from growth across all channels; Indonesia from the bancassurance channel; and India from the agency and bancassurance channels. Asset management gross flows & wealth sales of $3 billion were up 25%, driven by higher fixed income fund sales in India. New business CSM of $299 million in Q2'25 was up from $220 million in the prior year, primarily driven by strong profit margins and higher sales in Hong Kong. On July 15, 2025, we acquired an additional ownership interest in Bowtie Life Insurance Company Limited ("Bowtie"). The investment reinforces Sun Life's long-term partnership with Bowtie, and our shared goal to make health insurance simple, accessible and affordable.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures We report certain financial information using non-IFRS financial measures, as we believe that these measures provide information that is useful to investors in understanding our performance and facilitate a comparison of our quarterly and full year results from period to period. These non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures used by other companies. For certain non-IFRS financial measures, there are no directly comparable amounts under IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation from or as alternatives to measures of financial performance determined in accordance with IFRS. Additional information concerning non-IFRS financial measures and, if applicable, reconciliations to the closest IFRS measures are available in the Q2'25 MD&A under the heading N - Non-IFRS Financial Measures and the Supplementary Financial Information packages that are available on www.sunlife.com under Investors – Financial results and reports. 1. Underlying Net Income and Underlying EPSUnderlying net income is a non-IFRS financial measure that assists in understanding Sun Life's business performance by making certain adjustments to IFRS income. Underlying net income, along with common shareholders' net income (Reported net income), is used as a basis for management planning, and is also a key measure in our employee incentive compensation programs. This measure reflects management's view of the underlying business performance of the company and long-term earnings potential. For example, due to the longer term nature of our individual protection businesses, market movements related to interest rates, equity markets and investment properties can have a significant impact on reported net income in the reporting period. However, these impacts are not necessarily realized, and may never be realized, if markets move in the opposite direction in subsequent periods or in the case of interest rates, the fixed income investment is held to maturity. Underlying net income removes the impact of the following items from reported net income: Market-related impacts reflecting the after-tax difference in actual versus expected market movements; Assumptions changes and management actions; Other adjustments: i) MFS shares owned by management; ii) Acquisition, integration, and restructuring; iii) Intangible asset amortization; iv) Other items that are unusual or exceptional in nature. For additional information about the adjustments removed from reported net income to arrive at underlying net income, refer to section N - Non-IFRS Financial Measures - 2 - Underlying Net Income and Underlying EPS in the Q2'25 MD&A. The following table sets out the post-tax amounts that were excluded from our underlying net income (loss) and underlying EPS and provides a reconciliation to our reported net income and EPS based on IFRS.
