In the context of economic uncertainties, our organization is highly resilient and well-positioned to succeed. This is demonstrated through an operating ROE of 16.5% and book value per share growth of 13% year-over-year. We are on track to continue achieving our financial objectives to exceed the industry ROE by 500 basis points and grow NOIPS 10% annually over time, while also delivering on our promise to our customers, brokers, employees."

Refer to Section 15 – Non-GAAP and other financial measures in the Q1-2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis for further details. 2 DPW change (growth) is presented in constant currency. 3 Per share metric is calculated based on the weighted-average diluted number of common shares. Segment Results Q1-2025 Consolidated Performance Overall operating DPW growth was 3% and attributable to rate actions as well as unit growth in Personal lines. Within Commercial lines, growth was led by mid-single digit rates in the majority of our portfolio, while we continue to see pressure in large accounts. Combined ratio was solid at 91.3% and remained comparable to last year, despite 2.5 points of higher catastrophe losses. This is a result of our strong underlying performance in Canada and in the US, along with healthy favourable prior year development, particularly in Commercial lines. Operating net investment income increased 9% from last year to $415 million, primarily due to higher book yields, non-recurring distributions of $9 million and favourable foreign currency movements. Distribution income increased by 17% from last year to $117 million, reflecting organic growth, increased margins in BrokerLink and M&A activities. Lines of Business P&C Canada Personal auto operating DPW increased by 11%, reflecting rate actions and 2% unit growth in hard market conditions. The combined ratio of 97.5% was in line with our full year sub-95 expectations, when adjusted for approximately 4 points of impact from seasonality and harsher- than-normal winter conditions. Personal property operating DPW grew by 9%, primarily due to rates coupled with 1% unit growth in hard market conditions. The combined ratio remained solid at 88.9%, but increased from last year, due to higher catastrophe losses and severe winter conditions in the quarter. Commercial lines operating DPW growth was 1%, driven by mid-single-digit rates in most lines. We continue to see increased competition in large accounts. The combined ratio was very strong at 81.2% for the quarter, 6.1 points better than last year, driven by robust underlying performance and favourable prior-year development. P&C UK&I 2 Operating DPW decreased 4%, as we continue to take remediation actions in the DLG portfolio and see continued competition in large accounts. In aggregate, pricing was in the mid-single digits and new business remained solid. The combined ratio of 97.6% included elevated weather-related catastrophe losses in the quarter. We remain well positioned to evolve the combined ratio towards 90% in 2026. P&C US 2 Operating DPW decreased 3%, reflecting a 5-point negative impact from the non-renewal of a large account. Growth in aggregate reflected varying rate momentum, with mid-single digit rates or better across the majority of lines. The combined ratio remained strong at 86.8% for the quarter, despite the impact of high CAT losses, reflecting our continued focus on profitability. __________________________________________ 1 This release contains Non-GAAP financial measures, Non-GAAP ratios and other financial measures (each as defined in National Instrument 52-112 "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure"). Refer to Section 15 – Non-GAAP and other financial measures in the Q1-2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis for further details. 2 DPW change (growth) is presented in constant currency. Net Operating Income, EPS and ROE Net operating income attributable to common shareholders increased 11% to $717 million, driven by solid underwriting performance, as well as higher investment and distribution income. Earnings per share was solid at $3.69 in the quarter, driven by strong operating income and non-significant non-operating losses overall. Operating ROE of 16.5% reflected strong performance across our lines of business and geographies over the last 12 months. Adjusted ROE of 16.1% and ROE of 13.7% improved 3 points from last year, primarily due to higher operating earnings coupled with lower exited lines and restructuring costs. Balance Sheet The Company ended the quarter in a strong financial position with a total capital margin of $3.1 billion, up $0.2 billion from last quarter, and solid regulatory capital ratios in all jurisdictions. Adjusted debt-to-total capital ratio stood at 19.1% as at March 31, 2025, an improvement vs. Q4-2024, driven by strong capital generation in the quarter. IFC's book value per share (BVPS) of $96.16 as at March 31, 2025 increased 13% year-over-year, and was 4% higher than Q4-2024, driven by solid earnings and favourable market movements in our debt securities portfolio.

The common share dividends are payable on June 30, 2025, to shareholders of record on June 16, 2025.

RSA to rebrand and change trading name to Intact Insurance
RSA Insurance, NIG and FarmWeb have disclosed plans to rebrand and change their trading names to Intact Insurance by the end of this year. Intact Financial acquired RSA in 2021, retaining its Canadian, UK and International entities. Intact closed the acquisition with Tryg, which retained RSA's Swedish and Norwegian businesses. Both Intact and Tryg co-owned RSA's Danish business. The company aims to expand in commercial insurance markets and enhance its specialty lines business in the UK by utilising the global footprint of Intact. NIG, which operates under the RSA umbrella, was previously acquired from Direct Line Group. NIG and FarmWeb have been integrated into RSA, with the operational transition completed in May 2024. Intact Financial, the parent entity, is known for providing property and casualty insurance in Canada, with operations in specialty and commercial lines in the UK and Ireland. Intact Financial CEO Charles Brindamour stated: 'The transformation of the UK business since it was acquired by Intact in 2021 has been exceptional. Intact has a global footprint with big aspirations for the future and RSA is already a significant contributor to the Group. Aligning under the Intact brand is a natural next step in our organisations evolution and strategy to strengthen our leading position in the UK, Europe and Ireland. RSA UK & International CEO Ken Norgrove said: 'Having brought RSA, NIG and FarmWeb together in 2024, we said we would move to one brand in the UK. As part of Intact we operate in an increasingly interconnected world and having a brand that unites our businesses globally will help in our ambition to outperform the market, become the best commercial insurer and to grow our Specialty Lines business in the UK by leveraging Intact's global footprint.' In 2023, RSA acquired Direct Line's brokered commercial lines operations and sold its UK personal lines business to Admiral Group. "RSA to rebrand and change trading name to Intact Insurance " was originally created and published by Life Insurance International, a GlobalData owned brand.
