It also resulted in record gross sales in segregated funds and continued solid growth in U.S. individual insurance.\u201d<\/p><p>\n\u201cWe remain focused on financial discipline, profitable growth and sustainable value creation for shareholders,\u201d added \u00c9ric Jobin, Executive Vice-President, CFO and Chief Actuary. \u201cWe continue to manage expenses effectively while maintaining a robust capital position supported by strong organic capital generation. This strength provides significant flexibility to deploy capital and supports higher capital returns, as reflected by our decision to increase the maximum percentage of shares eligible for repurchase to 8% of public float.\u201d<\/p><p>\n<b>Earnings Highlights<\/b><\/p><table cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"bwtablemarginb bwblockalignl bwwidth100\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignb bwsinglebottom

As explained in the \u201cReconciliation of Net Income Attributed to Common Shareholders and Core Earnings<sup>\u2020<\/sup>\u201d section of this document, these adjustments include a charge resulting from a management action related to the pension plan ($1 million).

The 24% increase in core earnings<sup>\u2020<\/sup> over the same period in 2025 is mainly the result of the higher combined RA release and CSM recognized for services provided due to strong net segregated fund sales and the impact of favourable financial markets over the last 12 months. Additionally, core non-insurance activities were higher, reflecting higher net revenue on assets and the strong contribution from RF Capital Group of more than $10 million. Growth of non-insurance activities was tempered by higher expenses, mainly related to IT projects, and an expense reallocation from core other expenses.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\n<b>US Operations<\/b><\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nThe net income attributed to common shareholders for the US Operations segment was $16 million, compared to $19 million for the same period in 2025.

Expected insurance earnings<sup>10<\/sup> were higher due to the increase in the combined RA release and CSM recognized for services provided, mainly driven by good business growth in Individual Insurance in the last 12 months, and higher expected earnings on PAA insurance business from Dealer Services. Core insurance experience was unfavourable ($9 million before taxes), mainly due to unfavourable policyholder behaviour in Individual Insurance. In addition, core non-insurance activities were lower, reflecting a sales mix in US Dealer Services weighted toward insurance products.\n<br\/>\n<br\/>In the first quarter, the contribution of Vericity (Fidelity Life and eFinancial) continued to support progress toward financial expectations set at the time of the acquisition.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\n<b>Investment<\/b><\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nA net loss attributed to common shareholders of $28 million was recorded in the first quarter compared to net income attributed to common shareholders of $35 million for the same period in 2025.

This adjustment is explained by the unfavourable impacts from public and private equity and infrastructure variations ($87 million); investment properties ($10 million), mainly driven by market value adjustments; and the impact of the CIF<sup>11<\/sup> ($8 million). These negative items were partially offset by the favourable impact of interest rate and credit spread variations ($18 million).<\/li>\n<li>\nThe positive impact of assumption changes of $6 million resulting from the update of credit assumptions used to develop the interest rate scale (this is a recurring assumption update specific to the Investment segment and is expected to be carried out in the first quarter of each year).<\/li>\n<li>\nSpecified items resulting in a $40 million decrease in net income consisting of a tax-related adjustment for the 2025 fiscal year, as detailed in the \u201cIncome taxes\u201d paragraph of this document.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<li>\nCore earnings<sup>\u2020<\/sup> for this business segment were $93 million, which is 9% higher than $85 million for the same period in 2025.

The stability of these expenses reflects disciplined expense management amid inflationary pressures, supported by a strong, ongoing focus on operational efficiency and investments to enhance IT infrastructure performance. Before taxes, corporate core other expenses were $65 million, the same as in the first quarter of 2025. These expenses for the quarter reflect the lower-than-expected provision for variable compensation and the timing of certain corporate initiatives, resulting in a temporary deferral of related expenses. As a result, Corporate core other expenses for the quarter were at the lower end of the Company\u2019s target range of $70 million plus or minus $5 million.<sup>13<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\n<b>RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME ATTRIBUTED TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS AND CORE EARNINGS<sup>\u2020<\/sup><\/b><\/p><p>\nCore earnings<sup>\u2020<\/sup> of $298 million in the first quarter are derived from net income attributed to common shareholders of $137 million, after applying a total adjustment of $161 million (post tax) for:<\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nMarket-related impacts that differ from management\u2019s expectations, which resulted in an $87 million decrease in net income.

This increase is due to the positive impact of new insurance business of $202 million, organic financial growth of $114 million and net insurance experience gains of $39 million, partly offset by the CSM recognized for services provided in earnings of $219 million, up 12% from a year earlier. Non-organic items led to a decrease in the CSM of $77 million during the first quarter, mostly due to the impact of market variations. As a result, the total CSM increased by $59 million (+1%) during the quarter to stand at $7,709 million as at March 31, 2026, an increase of 11% over the last 12 months.<\/p><p>\n<b>Income taxes<\/b><\/p><p>\nThe federal government released its budget on November 4, 2025, outlining its intended tax policy directions. Pursuant to this budget, Bill C-15 was enacted on March 26, 2026, implementing certain measures, including some that apply retroactively to January 1, 2025.<\/p><p>\nConsequently, the results for first quarter 2026 reflect an increase in the core effective tax rate, as well as a $40 million adjustment recorded for the impact on existing tax positions following the adoption of the new tax measures, which took effect January 1, 2025. The $40 million core earnings adjustment consists of $20.5 million in core income tax for fiscal 2025 and a $19.5 million core earnings adjustment for an income tax gain recognized in 2025. In accordance with IFRS, specifically IAS 12 <i>Income Taxes<\/i>, this adjustment is recognized in the period of legislative adoption and does not constitute a retroactive restatement or an adjustment to prior periods.<\/p><p>\nThe Company has revised its medium-term core effective tax rate<sup>\u2020\u2020<\/sup> outlook to a range of 21% to 23%,<sup>17<\/sup> with expectations for 2026 positioned toward the upper end of the range. This change reflects the tax policy directions outlined in the November 2025 federal budget, including the impact of Bill C-15.<\/p><p>\n<b>Business growth<\/b><\/p><p>\nSales and business retention contributed to the strong growth in net premiums, premium equivalents and deposits, which reached nearly $6.4 billion, a 10% increase compared to the same period last year. Total assets under management and assets under administration exceeded $346 billion, an increase of 31% over the last 12 months. In Canada, Individual Insurance sales were good, at $97 million, and the Company maintained its leading position in the market, with the number of policies sold<sup>18<\/sup> increasing by 5% year over year. Dealer Services and iA Auto and Home both recorded good sales growth compared to the first quarter of 2025. In the Individual Wealth Management segment, total gross sales reached a quarterly record of more than $3.7 billion and total net segregated and mutual fund inflows reached nearly $1.4 billion. The Company continued to rank first for both gross and net individual segregated fund sales.<sup>19<\/sup> In the U.S., Individual Insurance sales recorded a notable year-over-year increase and Dealer Services sales reflected lower vehicle sales across the industry.<\/p><br\/> <b>Contacts<\/b> <br\/><p>\n<b>Investor Relations<\/b><br\/>Caroline Drouin\n<br\/>Office: 418-684-5000, ext. 103281\n<br\/>Email: <a  href=\"mailto:caroline.drouin@ia.ca\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">caroline.drouin@ia.ca<\/a><br\/>\n<br\/><b>Public Affairs<\/b><br\/>Chantal Corbeil\n<br\/>Office: 514-247-0465\n<br\/>Email: <a  href=\"mailto:chantal.corbeil@ia.ca\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">chantal.corbeil@ia.ca<\/a><\/p><br\/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20260505685245\/en\/iA-Financial-Group-Reports-First-Quarter-Results-and-an-11-Common-Dividend-Increase\/?feedref=Zd8jjkgYuzBwDixoAdXmJgT1albrG1Eq4mAeVP39212bri8lIe-zl5tWvCOnRHW3evRMp3sIgu8q3wq1OF24lT93qbEzrwa15HGbLqMObxY5fjCLYi_If30KxIsYuhwbuLAuCkn8FS6sh-I3dfDZEg==\"> Read full story here <\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delivering on financial targets \u2013 Strong momentum in wealth management<br \/>\nThis news release presents financial information in accordance with IFRS\u00ae Accounting Standards (referred to as \u201cIFRS\u201d in this document) and certain non-IFRS and additional financia&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-infos-businesswire"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1175"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1175\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1176,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1175\/revisions\/1176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
