"We delivered resilient operating results in the third quarter amidst a challenging market and operating environment," said Manulife President & Chief Executive Officer Roy Gori. "We continued to deliver solid results in our Asia business and delivered in-force business growth of 8% and 12% in the third quarter and year-to-date, respectively. And, in Global WAM, we generated net inflows of $3.0 billion and our core EBITDA margin4 was 32.7% in 3Q22, a very strong achievement given the market volatility."
"We are focused on driving resilience for our people, customers and communities. Through our behavioural insurance offerings, we are committed to helping our customers lead longer, healthier, better lives, and we are

rewarding them for making healthy lifestyle choices. We are expanding our Manulife Vitality offerings in Canada across our core product suite. In the U.S., we have made a multi-cancer, early detection test available to a pilot group of existing customers through John Hancock Vitality, enabling customers to make more informed choices about their health. And, in Asia, we continue to roll out servicing features in our ManulifeMOVE app, furthering its position as a one-stop health and servicing gateway for our customers," added Mr. Gori.
"Our diverse business and strong capital levels position us well to navigate an uncertain market environment. Our LICAT ratio of 136% provides significant flexibility, and we have repurchased approximately 3.1% of our common shares for $1.4 billion so far this year1 as we remain committed to delivering value to shareholders," said Phil Witherington, Chief Financial Officer.
"Expense efficiency continues to be a key strategic priority and important lever in the current operating environment. Our third quarter general expenses were held in line with the prior year, providing an offset to topline pressure," Mr. Witherington continued.
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS:
In Asia, we accelerated the utilization of ManuAcademy, our regional digital learning platform rolled out to Vietnam last quarter. Since the roll-out, the platform has enabled the onboarding of over 11,000 newly-recruited insurance agents, and delivered over 150,000 training hours to approximately 45,000 insurance agents. Our new training series, Manulife MasterClass, captures best practices from our Million Dollar Round Table agents and shares them across all agents through the platform. In Canada, we announced an expansion of the Manulife Vitality program, making it available to new term and universal life insurance policyholders effective November 2022. In the U.S., we continue to innovate our wellness offerings and announced a partnership with GRAIL, a healthcare company, offering access to Galleri®, their leading edge, multi-cancer early detection test to a pilot group of customers through John Hancock Vitality. As the first life insurance carrier to make GRAIL's Galleri® test available, we are enabling eligible customers to take proactive steps to better understand and make more informed choices about their health. In Global WAM, we expanded our Environmental, Social and Governance investment offerings with the launch of the Global Climate Action strategy in Europe to meet increasing demand for sustainable investment solutions.
In addition, we continued to make progress on our digital journey in 3Q22. In Asia, we continued to drive the adoption of ePOS, our proprietary digital onboarding app, to enhance the distributor experience and enable faster, error-free new business application submissions with case adoption at 90%, an increase of 9 percentage points compared with 3Q21. In the U.S., we reduced the amount of time to onboard producers within our traditional brokerage channel by 92% by automating the background check process. In Global WAM, we made a number of enhancements to our digital platform in Retirement including rolling out functionality that enables members in Canada to book one-on-one meetings with a Manulife PlanRight financial advisor directly in the mobile app, which generated successful engagement, and resulted in approximately 1,400 advisor meeting requests in 3Q22. In addition, we recently enhanced digital service features which enable members in the U.S. to self-serve to a greater extent, resulting in a reduction of approximately 10,000 calls to the call centre this quarter.

PROFITABILITY:
Reported net income attributed to shareholders of $1.3 billion in 3Q22, down $0.2 billion from 3Q21
The decrease in net income attributed to shareholders was primarily driven by lower gains from investment-related experience and lower core earnings, partially offset by a smaller charge from the direct impact of markets. The direct impact of markets in 3Q21 included a $0.5 billion charge related to the impact of updated Ultimate Reinvestment Rate assumptions issued by the Canadian Actuarial Standards Board. Investment-related experience in 3Q22 reflected the favourable impact of fixed income reinvestment activities and favourable credit experience, partially offset by lower-than-expected returns (including fair value changes) on alternative long-duration assets primarily related to real estate. The charge from the direct impact of markets in 3Q22 was primarily driven by the impact of unfavourable equity market performance, losses from the sale of available-for-sale ("AFS") bonds and swap spread movements, partially offset by gains due to rising interest rates in the U.S., a flattening of the yield curve in Canada, and widening corporate spreads in the U.S.
Delivered core earnings of $1.3 billion in 3Q22, a decrease of 14% compared with 3Q21
The decrease in core earnings was driven by a $256 million charge in our P&C Reinsurance business for estimated losses related to Hurricane Ian (compared with a $152 million charge in the prior year quarter for estimated losses related to Hurricane Ida and the European floods), lower net gains on sales of AFS equities and the unfavourable impact of markets on seed money investments in new and segregated mutual funds in Corporate and Other, lower new business gains in Asia and the U.S., lower U.S. Annuities in-force earnings due to the

variable annuity reinsurance transaction that closed in the first quarter of 2022, and a higher charge from net unfavourable U.S. policyholder experience. These items were partially offset by higher yields on fixed income investments and lower expenses in Corporate and Other, and in-force business growth in Asia and Canada. Lower expenses in Corporate and Other reflect lower supplemental pension expense primarily due to market impacts and lower variable incentive compensation.
ANNUAL REVIEW OF ACTUARIAL METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS:
We completed our annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions, which resulted in a modest net gain of $36 million post-tax to net income attributed to shareholders in total and approximately net neutral impact for LTC. The review included a comprehensive study of our U.S. LTC experience, including all aspects of claims assumptions and future premium rate increases. Other assumptions reviewed included mortality and certain lapse assumptions for Canada's life insurance business, as well as lapse and mortality assumptions for certain Asia markets.
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE:
New business value ("NBV") of $514 million in 3Q22, a decrease of 6% compared with 3Q21
In Asia, NBV decreased 17% from 3Q21 reflecting lower sales in Hong Kong and changes in product mix in Asia Other1, partially offset by higher individual protection and other wealth sales in Japan.In Canada, NBV increased 25% from 3Q21, driven by higher margins in our insurance businesses, partially offset by lower volumes in Annuities. In the U.S., NBV increased 27% from 3Q21, driven by improved margins due to pricing actions, higher interest rates and changes in product mix.
Annualized premium equivalent ("APE") sales of $1.3 billion in 3Q22, a decrease of 6% compared with 3Q21
In Asia, APE sales decreased 7%, reflecting lower sales in Hong Kong, partially offset by higher sales in Japan and Asia Other. In Hong Kong, APE sales decreased 40% driven by the impact of weaker customer sentiment on financial planning decisions and tighter COVID-19 containment measures in Macau during the quarter. In Japan, APE sales increased 22% as a result of higher individual protection and other wealth sales. Asia Other APE sales increased 6%, reflecting higher bancassurance sales in mainland China, Vietnam and Singapore, partially offset by lower agency sales in Singapore and mainland China. In Canada, APE sales decreased 6%, primarily driven by lower segregated fund sales and the non-recurrence of a large affinity markets sale in 3Q21, partially offset by normal variability of large-case group insurance sales. In the U.S., APE sales decreased 1%, primarily due to lower sales of domestic life insurance products, partially offset by an increase in international sales, which are reported as part of U.S. segment results. APE sales of products with the John Hancock Vitality PLUS feature increased 12% compared with 3Q21, reflecting the increasing attractiveness of the Vitality feature as an option for health-focused life insurance consumers.
Reported Global Wealth and Asset Management net inflows of $3.0 billion in 3Q22, compared with 3Q21 net inflows of $9.8 billion
Net inflows in Retirement were $1.4 billion in 3Q22 compared with net inflows of $0.6 billion in 3Q21, driven by growth in member contributions and lower plan redemptions. Net inflows in Retail were $1.0 billion in 3Q22 compared with net inflows of $7.9 billion in 3Q21, reflecting lower gross flows and higher mutual fund redemption rates due to decreased investor demand amid equity market declines and higher interest rates. Net inflows in Institutional Asset Management were $0.6 billion in 3Q22 compared with net inflows of $1.3 billion in 3Q21, driven by higher redemptions, partially offset by higher sales of equity and fixed income mandates.

NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES:
The Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. We use a number of non-GAAP and other financial measures to evaluate overall performance and to assess each of our businesses. This section includes information required by National Instrument 52-112 - Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure in respect of "specified financial measures" (as defined therein).
Non-GAAP financial measures include core earnings (loss); pre-tax core earnings; core earnings available to common shareholders; core general expenses; core earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("core EBITDA") and assets under management and administration ("AUMA").
Non-GAAP ratios include core return on common shareholders' equity ("core ROE"); diluted core earnings per common share ("core EPS"); core EBITDA margin; expense efficiency ratio; and percentage growth/decline on a constant exchange rate basis in any of the above non-GAAP financial measures.
Other specified financial measures include assets under administration; NBV; APE sales; gross flows; net flows; and percentage growth/decline in such other financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are not standardized financial measures under GAAP and, therefore, might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Therefore, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. For more information on non-GAAP financial measures, including those referred to above, see the section "Non-GAAP and other financial measures" in our 3Q22 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
From time to time, Manulife makes written and/or oral forward-looking statements, including in this document. In addition, our representatives may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. 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 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.

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 under "Risk Management and Risk Factors" and "Critical Actuarial and Accounting Policies" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis in our most recent annual report, under "Risk Management and Risk Factors Update" and "Critical Actuarial and Accounting Policies" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis in our most recent interim report, in the "Risk Management" note to the consolidated financial statements in our most recent annual and interim reports as well as elsewhere in our filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators.
The forward-looking statements in this document are, unless otherwise indicated, stated as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting investors and others in understanding our financial position and results of operations, our future operations, as well as our objectives and strategic priorities, and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
