Insurance, Canada
-- The net income attributed to common shareholders for the Insurance,
Canada segment was $103 million, which is higher than $95 million for the
same period in 2024. Net income attributed to common shareholders is
composed of core earnings as well as core earnings adjustments.
-- Core earnings adjustments to net income totalled $10 million. These
include acquisition-related items ($5 million) and non-core pension
expenses ($5 million). Also, the favourable impact of management actions
related to the recovery of amounts from reinsurers for prior years was
offset by the pension plan charge, as explained in the "Reconciliation of
Net Income Attributed to Common Shareholders and Core Earnings" section
of this document.
-- Core earnings for this business segment were $113 million for the third
quarter compared to $106 million for the same period in 2024. The 7%
growth in core earnings is mainly the result of the following:
-- A 6% year-over-year increase in the core insurance service result,
8 which is due to the higher combined risk adjustment $(RA)$
release8 and CSM recognized for services provided8 and lower core
insurance experience losses8 compared to the same period a year
ago. These favourable variations were partly offset by the higher
impact of new insurance business8 from Employee Plans due to
higher confirmed sales, including one large group. The core
insurance experience losses recorded during the third quarter
stemmed from unfavourable morbidity experience in Group Insurance,
partially offset by favourable mortality experience and lower
claims at iA Auto and Home.
-- Core non-insurance activities8 of $19 million compared to $14
million a year earlier, mainly driven by good earnings growth from
Dealer Services; and
-- Higher core other expenses9 of $13 million for the quarter
compared to $11 million a year earlier.
Wealth Management
-- The net income attributed to common shareholders for the Wealth
Management segment was $116 million, which is higher than $99 million for
the same period in 2024. Net income attributed to common shareholders is
composed of core earnings as well as core earnings adjustments.
-- Core earnings adjustments to net income totalled $9 million from
acquisition-related items ($7 million) and the impact of non-core pension
expenses ($2 million). Also, the favourable impact of a management action
related to the recovery of amounts from reinsurers for prior years was
offset by the pension plan charge, as explained in the "Reconciliation of
Net Income Attributed to Common Shareholders and Core Earnings" section
of this document.
-- Core earnings for this business segment were $125 million for the third
quarter compared with $106 million a year ago. The 18% increase in core
earnings over the same period in 2024 is mainly the result of an increase
in the combined RA release and CSM recognized for services provided due
to strong net segregated fund sales and the impact of favourable
financial market performance over the last 12 months. Additionally, core
non-insurance activities were higher, mainly reflecting higher net
revenue on assets in Group Savings and Retirement, the distribution
affiliates and at iA Clarington (mutual funds). Note that core insurance
experience gains of $2 million were recorded during the quarter mainly
due to favourable mortality experience.
US Operations
-- The net income attributed to common shareholders for the US Operations
segment was $21 million, similar to the results for the same period in
2024. Net income attributed to common shareholders is composed of core
earnings as well as core earnings adjustments.
-- Core earnings adjustments to net income totalled $11 million from
acquisition-related items ($10 million) and a reallocation for reporting
consistency, which sums to zero on a consolidated basis ($1 million).
-- Core earnings for this business segment were $32 million, which compares
to $31 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in core earnings
is mainly the result of the following elements:
-- Higher combined RA release and CSM recognized for services
provided, mainly driven by good business growth in the last 12
months;
-- Lower impact of new insurance business; and
-- Lower core other expenses from both Dealer Services and Individual
Insurance.
The increase in core earnings was tempered by higher core income taxes.(9)
Also, core insurance experience gains of $2 million, similar to a year earlier, were recorded during the third quarter, driven by favourable individual insurance mortality experience. Lastly, core non-insurance activities of $19 million were consistent with the previous year, with earnings growth for Dealer Services being tempered by losses for the distribution activities of Vericity (eFinancial).
Investment
-- The net income attributed to common shareholders for the Investment
segment was $179 million, which is higher than $114 million for the same
period in 2024. Net income attributed to common shareholders is composed
of core earnings as well as core earnings adjustments.
-- Core earnings adjustments reflected a net positive impact on net income
of $74 million as a result of the following items:
-- Market-related impacts that differ from management's expectations,
which resulted in a $73 million increase in net income. This is
explained by the favourable impacts from equity variations of $75
million, mainly driven by the good performance of public equity,
and interest rate and credit spread variations of $22 million.
These positive items were partially offset by the unfavourable
impacts of $17 million from investment properties, mainly due to
unfavourable market value adjustments, and $7 million from CIF10
adjustments; and
-- A reallocation for reporting consistency of $1 million, which sums
to zero on a consolidated basis.
-- Core earnings for this business segment were $105 million, which is
higher than $80 million in 2024. Prior to taxes, financing charges on
debentures and dividends, core earnings were driven by a core net
investment result9 of $132 million. The increase compares favourably with
$111 million recorded a year ago from strong expected investment
earnings9 and favourable credit experience.9
-- Expected investment earnings totalled $129 million, which is 14%
higher than the same period a year ago. This result is mainly due
to the impacts of interest rate variations in recent quarters,
stemming from the steepening of the yield curve and, to a lesser
extent, higher results from iA Auto Finance and additional assets
from the June issuance of institutional preferred shares.
-- Favourable credit experience resulted in a $3 million gain due to
higher impacts from upgrades than downgrades in the fixed income
portfolio ($2 million) and positive credit experience in the car
loans portfolio of iA Auto Finance ($1 million).
Corporate
-- The net loss attributed to common shareholders for the Corporate segment
was $55 million compared to $46 million for the same period in 2024. Net
loss attributed to common shareholders is composed of core losses as well
as core loss adjustments.
-- Core losses adjustments to net loss for this business segment totalled $3
million. These adjustments include the pension plan charge of $1 million,
as explained in the "Reconciliation of Net Income Attributed to Common
Shareholders and Core Earnings" section of this document, and integration
charges related to the acquisitions of Vericity and Global Warranty of $2
million.
-- This segment recorded core losses from after-tax expenses of $52 million,
which compares with $46 million in the third quarter of 2024. Before
taxes, Corporate core other expenses were $70 million compared to $60
million in the same period in 2024. This result is consistent with the
Company's growth and reflects the disciplined approach to expenses, with
a strong, ongoing emphasis on ensuring operational efficiency while
enhancing the performance of IT infrastructures.
RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME ATTRIBUTED TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS AND CORE EARNINGS
The following table presents net income attributed to common shareholders and the adjustments that account for the difference between net income attributed to common shareholders and core earnings.
Core earnings of $323 million in the third quarter are derived from net income attributed to common shareholders of $364 million, reduced by a total adjustment of $41 million (post tax) from:
-- Market-related impacts that differ from management's expectations, which
resulted in a $73 million increase in net income. This adjustment is
explained by the favourable impacts from equity variations of $75 million,
mainly driven by the good performance of public equity, and interest rate
and credit spread variations of $22 million. These positive items were
partially offset by the unfavourable impacts of $17 million from
investment properties, mainly due to unfavourable market value
adjustments, and $7 million from CIF adjustments;
-- The net impact of assumption changes and management actions, leading to a
$1 million reduction in net income, mainly attributable to a management
action related to the pension plan, as disclosed with second quarter
results. Specifically, the temporary reduction in contributions for
active plan members resulted in a $4 million charge, allocated as
follows: Insurance, Canada ($2 million), Wealth Management ($1 million)
and Corporate ($1 million). This $4 million impact is expected to recur
over the next three quarters. This charge was partially offset by
favourable management actions undertaken in the Insurance, Canada ($2
million) and Wealth Management ($1 million) segments related to the
recovery of amounts for prior years.
-- A total charge of $4 million mainly related to the integration of
Vericity and Global Warranty;
-- Expenses associated with acquisition-related intangible assets of $20
million; and
-- The impact of non-core pension expenses of $7 million.

Contractual service margin $(CSM)$(12)
During the third quarter, the CSM increased organically by $135 million. This increase is due to the positive impact of new insurance business of $205 million, organic financial growth of $97 million and net insurance experience gains of $43 million, partly offset by the CSM recognized for services provided in earnings of $210 million, up 14% from a year earlier. Non-organic items led to an increase in the CSM of $175 million during the third quarter, mostly due to the favourable impact of market variations. As a result, the total CSM increased by $310 million (+4%) during the quarter to stand at $7,450 million at September 30, 2025, an increase of 12% over the last 12 months.
Business growth
Sales momentum remained strong in the third quarter, with almost all business units posting good growth versus last year. In Canada, Individual Insurance sales were good at $102 million, and the Company maintained its leading position for the number of policies sold.(13) Employee Plans, Dealer Services and iA Auto and Home all recorded notable sales increases compared to the third quarter of 2024. In the Wealth Management segment, sales of segregated and mutual funds were particularly strong, with combined net inflows surpassing $1.1 billion. The Company continued to rank first for both gross and net segregated fund sales.(14) Sales results in US Operations were good, with notable performance in Individual Insurance, while Dealer Services sales remained steady. Good sales and business retention contributed to the growth in net premiums,(15) premium equivalents and deposits,(15) totalling more than $5.2 billion, a 6% increase compared to the same period last year. Also, total assets under management and assets under administration amounted to nearly $289 billion, an increase of 15% over the last 12 months.
INSURANCE, CANADA
-- In Individual Insurance, third quarter sales totalled $102 million, which
is comparable to the strong performance seen in the same quarter a year
earlier. This very good result reflects the strength of all our
distribution networks, the excellent performance of our digital tools, as
well as our comprehensive and distinctive range of products. Sales
continued to be strong for life and living benefit products. For the
first nine months, sales were 5% higher than the same period in 2024. The
Company maintained its leading position in the Canadian market for number
of policies issued.13
-- In Group Insurance, third quarter implemented sales of $30 million in
Employee Plans were significantly higher than the $18 million recorded in
the same quarter last year. Net premiums, premium equivalents and
deposits for Employee Plans increased by 4% year over year, mainly
benefiting from good sales in the last 12 months. This strong result is
mainly attributed to the implementation of one large group. Special
Markets sales reached $96 million, which is similar to the previous year.
-- For Dealer Services, total sales ended the third quarter at $214 million,
which is 9% higher than the same period in 2024. This growth was
supported by a 15% year-over-year increase in P&C Insurance sales,
primarily from extended warranties. The increase in sales benefited from
the addition of sales from the Global Warranty business, which was
acquired in the first quarter of this year.
-- At iA Auto and Home, direct written premiums reached $180 million in the
third quarter, recording a strong increase of 10% compared to the same
period last year. This was due to an increased number of policies and the
impact of recent price adjustments.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
-- In Individual Wealth Management, sales of segregated and mutual funds
were strong during the third quarter, with segregated fund gross sales
surpassing $1.6 billion, a 23% year-over-year increase, and mutual fund
gross sales reaching $608 million, a year-over-year increase of 58%.
Combined net inflows of segregated and mutual funds totalled more than $1
billion in the third quarter, compared to $618 million in the same
quarter last year. Segregated funds contributed $997 million, maintaining
their strong momentum, while mutual funds recorded net inflows of $25
million, marking an improvement this quarter. The Company continued to
rank first in Canada in gross and net segregated fund sales.14 This
robust performance was notably driven by the strength of our distribution
networks and our competitive and comprehensive product lineup.
Additionally, clients continued to favour asset classes with higher
return potential over guaranteed investments. In this context, sales of
other savings products reached $400 million in the third quarter compared
to $483 million a year earlier.
-- Group Savings and Retirement sales for the third quarter totalled $607
million compared to $900 million a year earlier, mainly reflecting a
decrease in insured annuities sales. Total assets under management at the
end of the quarter were 15% higher than a year earlier.
US OPERATIONS
-- In Individual Insurance, sales of US$78 million in the third quarter were
15% higher than the same period a year earlier. This solid result is
driven by good growth in the final expense and middle market segments,
underscoring our potential for strong growth in the U.S. life insurance
market, both organically and through acquisitions.
-- In Dealer Services, third quarter sales reached US$286 million, in line
with the performance recorded a year earlier, which had been inflated due
to a temporary system outage at CDK Global that happened at the end of
Q2/2024. The sales growth momentum observed in the first half of 2025 was
moderated by attrition among dealer groups, which was partly due to our
disciplined repricing approach. The retention and onboarding of
high-performing dealer groups continue to be a focus, with their
engagement reflecting the quality of our products and services.
ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT AND ASSETS UNDER ADMINISTRATION
Assets under management and administration totalled nearly $289 billion at September 30, 2025, recording increases of 15% over the last 12 months and 5% during the third quarter. This solid growth was mainly driven by the performance of financial markets and strong net fund inflows, particularly for segregated funds. As of July 31, 2025, iA Financial Group is the Canadian leader in segregated fund assets under management.(16)
NET PREMIUMS, PREMIUM EQUIVALENTS AND DEPOSITS
Net premiums, premium equivalents and deposits amounted to more than $5.2 billion in the third quarter, which is 6% higher than the same period last year. This performance was driven by the results of Individual Wealth Management and of all business units in the Insurance, Canada segment.
FINANCIAL POSITION
The Company's solvency ratio(17) was 138%(18) at September 30, 2025, similar to the ratio at June 30, 2025 and comparable to 140% a year earlier. This result is well above the regulatory minimum ratio of 90%. The ratio remained stable during the quarter, as the positive impacts of organic capital generation and macroeconomic variations were offset by share buybacks (NCIB), IT investments and other non-organic variations, including adjustments to the investment portfolio. The Company's financial leverage ratio was 16.4% at September 30, 2025, a slight decrease compared to 16.9% at the end of the previous quarter.
Organic capital generation and capital available for deployment
The Company organically generated $170 million in additional capital during the third quarter. After nine months, $495 million has been generated, which is in line with projections to reach the annual target of $650M+ in 2025. At September 30, 2025, the capital available for deployment was assessed at $1.7 billion,(19) compared to $1.5 billion three months earlier.
Book value
The book value per common share was $79.22 at September 30, 2025, up 4% during the quarter and 11% during the last 12 months.
Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB)
During the third quarter, the Company repurchased and cancelled a total of 527,000 outstanding common shares for a total value of $77 million. Under the current NCIB in force from November 14, 2024 to November 13, 2025, the Company can repurchase up to 4,694,894 common shares, representing approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding shares as at October 31, 2024. Since the beginning of the current NCIB, 1,885,000 shares, or 2.0% of the outstanding shares, have been repurchased and cancelled. Therefore, the Company may repurchase up to 2,809,894 outstanding common shares until the end of the current program.
Dividend
The Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.9900 per share to common shareholders in the third quarter of 2025. The Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.9900 per share payable during the fourth quarter of 2025, the same as that announced the previous quarter. This dividend is payable on December 15, 2025 to the common shareholders of record at November 21, 2025. In addition, the Board of Directors approved a semi-annual dividend of $33.4091096(20) per Non-Cumulative 5-Year Rate Reset Class A Preferred Share Series C.(21) This dividend is payable on December 31, 2025, to the preferred shareholders of record at the close of business on December 5, 2025.

On September 3, 2025, iA Financial Group announced the appointment of Marie-Annick Bonneau as Executive Vice-President and Chief Risk Officer, effective October 1, 2025. She succeeds Philippe Sarfati, who will retire at the end of the year. Mr. Sarfati will continue to serve as Executive Vice-President and Strategic Advisor until December 31, 2025 to ensure a smooth transition. Ms. Bonneau brings nearly 30 years of experience at iA Financial Group and is recognized for her leadership across key areas including compliance, investor relations, and risk management.
AMF Capital Adequacy Requirements Guideline
A revised CARLI guideline came into effect on January 1, 2025, with the AMF granting a six-month transition period for the revised regulatory capital requirements for segregated fund guarantees. Following the transition period, the changes, including the explicit recognition of the CSM for segregated fund guarantees, had a positive impact of approximately $100 million on the Company's capital available for deployment at September 30, 2025. These changes also impacted the sensitivity of the solvency ratio to public market fluctuations, while remaining within the Company's established risk tolerance. The new framework is now integrated into our ongoing risk-return optimization process.
In addition, on September 11, 2025, the AMF published a consultation for a revised CARLI guideline, set to become effective on January 1, 2026. This consultation ended on October 17, 2025. If adopted as published, this revised guideline would, among other changes, modify the treatment of excess capital recognition for property and casualty subsidiaries. The effect is expected to be positive for our U.S. Dealer Services business unit, leading to the following favourable estimated impacts upon the effective date:
-- Solvency ratio: +3.5 percentage points -- Capital available for deployment: +$325 million
Acquisition of RF Capital Group Inc. -- Announcement
On July 28, 2025, iA Financial Group announced its intention to acquire RF Capital Group. This transaction was completed on October 31, 2025.

The new signature reflects iA's commitment to combining human and digital experiences to empower clients, advisors, employees, and communities for a resilient future.
Philanthropy

philanthropic contest, focusing this year on food insecurity in response
to growing community needs. From September 10 to October 12, charities
can submit proposals for a chance to receive part of a $500,000 donation,
with the most voted organizations in each region receiving $100,000.
-- On July 21, 2025, iA Financial Group and its U.S. subsidiaries announced
a $75,000 donation to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country
to support those affected by flash flooding in Texas. The funds will
provide immediate and ongoing relief, including financial aid and support
for evacuees and the communities hosting them.
Subsequent to the third quarter:
-- Acquisition of RF Capital Group Inc. -- Closing -- On October 31, 2025,
iA Financial Group announced the closing of the RF Capital acquisition
for a total price of $693 million, which includes the cost of the advisor
retention strategy. This acquisition adds assets under administration,
which totalled $43.6 billion as at September 30, 2025, and 142 advisor
teams as at October 31, 2025, significantly expanding iA Financial
Group's presence in the high-net-worth segment. The transaction is
expected to unlock synergies across technology, operations and products.
It is expected to be neutral to core earnings in the first year and
accretive to core EPS by at least $0.15 in the second year. Transaction
and integration costs of $60 million (before tax) are expected to be
incurred over the first three years. It is also expected to have the
following impacts upon closing of the acquisition:
-- Solvency ratio: -6.5 percentage points
-- Capital available for deployment: -$700 million
Execution of the synergy plan is already underway, with strategic initiatives aimed at driving both revenue growth and cost efficiencies. This includes the integration of corporate functions to enhance alignment across the organization. Expenses associated with these initiatives are included in the transaction and integration costs.
For additional information, please refer to the press releases, which can be found on our website at ia.ca.

NON-IFRS AND ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL MEASURES
iA Financial Corporation reports its financial results and statements in accordance with IFRS(R) Accounting Standards. The Company also publishes certain financial measures or ratios that are not presented in accordance with IFRS. The Company uses non-IFRS and other financial measures when evaluating its results and measuring its performance. The Company believes that such measures provide additional information to better understand its financial results and assess its growth and earnings potential, and that they facilitate comparison of the quarterly and full year results of the Company's ongoing operations. Since such non-IFRS and other financial measures do not have standardized definitions and meaning, they may differ from similar measures used by other institutions and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of financial performance, financial position or cash flow determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company strongly encourages investors to review its financial statements and other publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
Non-IFRS financial measures include core earnings (losses).
Non-IFRS ratios include core earnings per common share (core EPS); core return on common shareholders' equity (core ROE); core effective tax rate; core dividend payout ratio; and financial leverage ratio.
Supplementary financial measures include return on common shareholders' equity (ROE); components of the CSM movement analysis (organic CSM movement, impact of new insurance business, organic financial growth, insurance experience gains (losses), impact of changes in assumptions and management actions, impact of markets, currency impact); components of the drivers of earnings (in respect of both net income attributed to common shareholders and core earnings); assets under management; assets under administration; capital available for deployment; dividend payout ratio; total payout ratio (trailing 12 months); organic capital generation; sales; net premiums; and premium equivalents and deposits.
For relevant information about non-IFRS measures, see the "Non-IFRS and Additional Financial Measures" section in the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) for the period ending September 30, 2025, which is hereby incorporated by reference and is available for review on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca or on iA Financial Group's website at ia.ca.
A reconciliation of net income attributed to common shareholders to core earnings by business segment is included below. For a reconciliation on a consolidated basis, see the "Reconciliation of Net Income Attributed to Common Shareholders and Core Earnings" section above.
This document also makes reference to certain pro forma financial information, including pro forma supplementary financial measures giving effect to the acquisition of RF Capital Group and/or the revised CARLI guideline, including total AUA and AUM, solvency ratio and capital available for deployment. These measures do not have standardized definitions and meaning; they may differ from similar measures used by other institutions and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Pro forma information regarding RF Capital Group is based upon information made publicly available by RF Capital Group and upon non-public information made available by RF Capital Group to the Company. Such information has not been verified independently by the Company. Accordingly, an unavoidable level of risk remains regarding the accuracy and completeness of such information, including with respect to facts or circumstances that would affect the completeness or accuracy of such information and which are unknown to the Company.

Such statements constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of securities laws. In this document, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, information concerning possible or future operating results, strategies, and financial and operational outlook, statements regarding the anticipated impacts of the revised CARLI guideline set to become effective on January 1, 2026 and statements regarding the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of RF Capital Group (including with respect to the impact of the transaction on iA's financial performance, more specifically on the Company's AUA and AUM, core earnings , core EPS , solvency ratio and capital available for deployment). These statements are not historical facts; they represent only expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events and are subject to change.
Although iA Financial Group believes 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. In addition, 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.
-- Material factors and risks that could cause actual results to differ
materially from expectations include, but are not limited to: general
business and economic conditions; level of competition and consolidation
and ability to adapt products and services to market or customer changes;
information technology, data protection, governance and management,
including privacy breach, and information security risks, including cyber
risks; level of inflation; performance and volatility of equity markets;
interest rate fluctuations; hedging strategy risks; accuracy of
information received from counterparties and the ability of
counterparties to meet their obligations; unexpected changes in pricing
or reserving assumptions; iA Financial Group liquidity risk, including
the availability of funding to meet financial liabilities at expected
maturity dates; mismanagement or dependence on third-party relationships
in a supply chain context; ability to attract, develop and retain key
employees; risk of inappropriate design, implementation or use of complex
models; fraud risk; changes in laws and regulations, including tax laws;
contractual and legal disputes; actions by regulatory authorities that
may affect the business or operations of iA Financial Group or its
business partners; changes made to capital and liquidity guidelines (or
variations or withdrawals in respect of anticipated changes); risks
associated with the regional or global political and social environment;
geopolitical and trade uncertainty; climate-related risks including
extreme weather events or longer-term climate changes and the transition
to a low-carbon economy; iA Financial Group's ability to meet stakeholder
expectations on environmental, social and governance matters; the
occurrence of natural or man-made disasters, international conflicts,
pandemic diseases (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) and acts of terrorism;
and downgrades in the financial strength or credit ratings of iA
Financial Group or its subsidiaries.
-- Material factors and assumptions used in the preparation of financial
outlooks include, but are not limited to: accuracy of estimates,
assumptions and judgments under applicable accounting policies, and no
material change in accounting standards and policies applicable to the
Company; no material variation in interest rates; no significant changes
to the Company's effective tax rate; no material changes in the level of
the Company's regulatory capital requirements; availability of options
for deployment of excess capital; credit experience, mortality, morbidity,
longevity and policyholder behaviour being in line with actuarial
experience studies; investment returns being in line with the Company's
expectations and consistent with historical trends; different business
growth rates per business unit; no unexpected changes in the economic,
competitive, insurance, legal or regulatory environment or actions by
regulatory authorities that could have a material impact on the business
or operations of iA Financial Group or its business partners; no
unexpected change in the number of shares outstanding; and the
non-materialization of risks or other factors mentioned or discussed
elsewhere in this document or found in the "Risk Management" section of
the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for 2024 that could
influence the Company's performance or results.
Escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada, including tariffs on autos and metals, continue to disrupt supply chains and raise costs, contributing to economic uncertainty. Global equity markets could face increased volatility due to ongoing tariff risks, evolving interest rate expectations and elevated equity valuations. These factors may reduce consumer and investor confidence, increase financial instability and constrain growth prospects.
Additional information about the material 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 the "Risk Management" section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis for 2024, the "Management of Financial Risks Associated with Financial Instruments and Insurance Contracts" note to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and elsewhere in iA Financial Group's filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators, which are available for review at sedarplus.ca.
The forward-looking statements and outlooks in this document reflect iA Financial Group's expectations as of the date of this document. iA Financial Group does not undertake to update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. Forward-looking statements are presented in this document for the purpose of assisting investors and others in understanding certain key elements of the Company's expected financial results, as well as the Company's objectives, strategic priorities and business outlook, and in obtaining a better understanding of the Company's anticipated operating environment.
