Nature of Operations and Material Accounting Policy Information	Note 1 Nature of Operations and Material Accounting Policy Information (a) Reporting entity Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”) is a publicly traded company and the holding company of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (“MLI”), a Canadian life insurance company. MFC, including its subsidiaries (collectively, “Manulife” or the “Company”) is a leading financial services group with principal operations in Asia, Canada and the United States. Manulife’s international network of employees, agents and distribution partners offers financial protection and wealth management products and services to personal and business clients as well as asset management services to institutional customers. The Company operates as Manulife in Asia and Canada and as John Hancock and Manulife in the United States. MFC is domiciled in Canada and incorporated under the Insurance Companies Act (Canada) (“ICA”). These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023 were authorized for issue by MFC’s Board of Directors on February 14, 2024. (b) Basis of preparation The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of insurance service, investment result, and other revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant estimation processes relate to evaluating assumptions used in measuring insurance and investment contract liabilities and reinsurance contracts held liabilities, assessing assets for impairment, determining pension and other post-employment benefit obligation and expense assumptions, determining income taxes and uncertain tax positions, and estimating fair values of certain invested assets. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes that the amounts recorded are appropriate. The material accounting policies used and the most significant judgments made by management in applying these accounting policies in the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements are summarized below. The Company’s results and operations have been and may continue to be adversely impacted by the economic environment. The adverse effects include but are not limited to recessionary economic trends in markets the Company operates in, significant market volatility, increase in credit risk, strain on commodity markets and alternative long duration asset (“ALDA”) prices, foreign currency exchange rate volatility, increases in insurance claims, persistency and redemptions, and disruption of business operations. The breadth and depth of these events and their duration contribute additional uncertainty around estimates used in determining the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities included in these Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has applied appropriate measurement techniques using reasonable judgment and estimates from the perspective of a market participant to reflect current economic conditions. The impact of these techniques has been reflected in these Consolidated Financial Statements. Changes in the inputs used could materially impact the respective carrying values. (c) Fair value measurement Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (not a forced liquidation or distress sale) between market participants at the measurement date; fair value is an exit value. When available, quoted market prices are used to determine fair value. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is typically based upon alternative valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, matrix pricing, consensus pricing services and other techniques. Broker quotes are generally used when external public vendor prices are not available. The Company has a valuation process in place that includes a review of price movements relative to the market, a comparison of prices between vendors, and a comparison to internal matrix pricing which uses predominantly external observable data. Judgment is applied in adjusting external observable data for items including liquidity and credit factors. The Company categorizes its fair value measurement results according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Company’s valuation techniques based on their reliability. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 – Fair value measurements that reflect unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date, reflecting market transactions. Level 2 – Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in inactive markets, inputs that are observable that are not prices (such as interest rates, credit risks, etc.) and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Most debt investments are classified within Level 2. Also, included in the Level 2 category are derivative instruments that are priced using models with observable market inputs, including interest rate swaps, equity swaps, credit default swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. Level 3 – Fair value measurements using significant non-market (d) Basis of consolidation MFC consolidates the financial statements of all entities it controls, including certain structured entities. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company has control over an entity when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity and is exposed to variable returns from its activities which are significant in relation to the total variable returns of the entity and the Company is able to use its power over the entity to affect the Company’s share of variable returns of the entity. In assessing control, significant judgment is applied while considering all relevant facts and circumstances. When assessing decision making power over an entity, the Company considers the extent of its rights relative to the management of the entity, the level of voting rights held over the entity which are potentially or presently exercisable, the existence of any contractual management agreements which may provide the Company with power over the entity’s financial and operating policies, and to the extent of other parties’ ownership in the entity, if any, the possibility for de facto control being present. When assessing variable returns from an entity, the Company considers the significance of direct and indirect financial and non-financial The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in MFC’s consolidated results from the date control is established and are excluded from consolidation from the date control ceases. The initial control assessment is performed at inception of the Company’s involvement with the entity and is reconsidered if the Company acquires or loses power over key operating and financial policies of the entity; acquires additional interests or disposes of interests in the entity; the contractual arrangements of the entity are amended such that the Company’s proportionate exposure to variable returns changes; or if the Company’s ability to use its power to affect its variable returns from the entity changes. A change in control may lead to gains or losses on derecognition of a subsidiary when losing control, or on derecognition of previous interests in a subsidiary when gaining control. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Intercompany balances, and revenue and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, have been eliminated in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. Non-controlling Non-controlling The equity method of accounting is used to account for entities over which the Company has significant influence or joint control (“associates” or “joint ventures”), whereby the Company records its share of the associate’s or joint venture’s net assets and financial results using uniform accounting policies for similar transactions and events. Significant judgment is used to determine whether voting rights, contractual management rights and other relationships with the entity, if any, provide the Company with significant influence or joint control over the entity. Gains and losses on the sale of associates or joint ventures are included in income when realized, while impairment losses are recognized immediately when there is objective evidence of impairment. Gains and losses on commercial transactions with associates or joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the equity of the associate or joint venture. Investments in associates and joint ventures are included in other invested assets on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. (e) Invested assets Invested assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of investments not classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), directly attributable transaction costs. Invested assets that are considered financial instruments are classified as fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), FVTPL or as amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of invested assets which are financial instruments depends on their contractual terms and the Company’s business model for managing the assets. The Company assesses the contractual terms of the assets to determine whether their terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”) on the principal amount outstanding. Only debt instruments may have SPPI cash flows. The most significant elements of interest within a lending arrangement are typically the consideration for the time value of money and credit risk. To make the SPPI assessment, the Company applies judgement and considers relevant factors such as prepayment and redemption rights, conversion features, and subordination of the instrument to other instruments of the issuer. An asset with contractual terms that introduce a more than de minimis exposure to risks of not collecting principal or interest would not meet the SPPI test. Debt instruments which qualify as having SPPI cash flows are classified as amortized cost or FVOCI based on the business model under which they are held. If held within a business model whose objective is to hold the assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, they are classified as amortized cost. If held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the assets, they are classified as FVOCI. In either case, the Company may designate them as FVTPL in order to reduce accounting mismatches with FVTPL liabilities they support. Debt instruments which fail the SPPI test are required to be measured at FVTPL. To identify the business model financial assets are held within, considerations include the business purpose of the portfolio they are held within, the risks that are being managed and the business activities which manage the risks, the basis on which performance of the portfolio is being evaluated, and the frequency and significance of sales activity within the portfolio.  Realized and unrealized gains and losses on debt instruments classified as FVTPL and realized gains and losses on debt instruments held at FVOCI or amortized cost are recognized in investment income immediately. Unrealized gains and losses on FVOCI debt investments are recorded in OCI, except for unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation which are included in income. Investments in equities which are accounted for as financial instruments are not subject to the SPPI test and are accounted for as FVTPL. Valuation methods for the Company’s invested assets are described above in note 1 (c). All fair value valuations are performed in accordance with IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”. Disclosure of financial instruments carried at fair value within the three levels of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the fair value for financial instruments not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are presented in note 4. Fair value valuations are performed by the Company and by third-party service providers. When third-party service providers are engaged, the Company performs a variety of procedures to corroborate pricing information. These procedures may include, but are not limited to, inquiry and review of valuation techniques, and of inputs to the valuation and vendor controls reports. Cash and short-term securities comprise cash, current operating accounts, overnight bank and term deposits, and debt instruments held for meeting short-term cash commitments. Short-term securities are carried at fair value. Short-term securities comprise investments due to mature within one year of the date of purchase. Commercial paper and discount notes are classified as Level 2 for fair value purposes because these instruments are typically not actively traded. Net payments in transit and overdraft bank balances are included in other liabilities. Debt s Public equities comprise of common and preferred equities and shares or units of mutual funds and are carried at fair value. Public equities are generally classified as Level 1, as fair values are normally based on quoted market prices. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on equities designated as FVTPL are recognized in investment income immediately. The Company’s risk management policies and procedures related to equities can be found in the denoted components of the “Risk Management and Risk Factors” section of the Company’s 2023 Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”). Mortgages are classified as Level 3 for fair value purposes due to the lack of market observability of certain significant valuation inputs. The Company accounts for insured and uninsured mortgage securitizations as secured financing transactions since the criteria for sale accounting of securitized mortgages are not met. For these transactions, the Company continues to recognize the mortgages and records a liability in other liabilities for the amounts owed at maturity. Interest income from these mortgages and interest expense on the borrowings are recorded using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method. Private placements, which include corporate loans for which there is no active market, are generally classified as Level 2 for fair value disclosure purposes or as Level 3 if significant inputs are not Loans to Manulife Bank of Canada (“Manulife Bank” or “Bank”) clients are carried at amortized cost and are classified as Level 2 for fair value disclosure purposes. Interest income is recognized on all debt instruments including securities, private placements, mortgages, and loans to Bank clients as it accrues and is calculated using the EIR method. Premiums, discounts and transaction costs are amortized over the life of the underlying investment using the effective yield method for all debt securities as well as private placements and mortgages. The Company records purchases and sales of invested assets on a trade date basis. Loans originated by the Company are recognized on a settlement date basis. Real estate consists of both own use and investment property. Own use property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, or at revalued amount which is the fair value as at the most recent revaluation date minus accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated based on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life ranging from 30 to 60 years. Impairment losses are recorded in income to the extent the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount. Own use property is classified as Level 3 for fair value disclosure purposes. Own use real estate properties which are underlying items for insurance contracts with direct participating features are measured at fair value as if they were investment properties, as permitted by IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” which was amended by IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” (“IFRS 17”). An investment property is a property held to earn rental income, for capital appreciation, or both. Investment properties are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in income. Fair value of own use properties and investment properties is determined using the same processes. Fair value for all properties is determined using external appraisals that are based on the highest and best use of the property. The valuation techniques include discounted cash flows, the direct capitalization method as well as comparable sales analysis and employ both observable and non-market When a property transfers from own use held at cost to investment property, any gain or loss arising on the re-measurement of the property and any associated leases to fair value as at the date of change in use is recognized in OCI, to the extent that it is not reversing a previous impairment loss. Reversals of impairment losses are recognized in income. When a property changes from investment property to own use held at cost, the property’s deemed cost for subsequent accounting is its fair value as at the date of change in use. Other invested assets include private equity investments and property investments held in infrastructure, timber, agriculture and energy sectors. Private equity investments are accounted for as associates or joint ventures using the equity method (as described in note 1 (d) above) or are classified as FVTPL and carried at fair value. Timber and agriculture properties which are own use properties are carried at cost except for their biological assets which are measured at fair value. Timber and agriculture properties which are investment properties are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in income. The fair value of other invested assets is determined using a variety of valuation techniques as described in note 4. Other invested assets that are measured or disclosed at fair value are classified as Level 3. Other invested assets also include investments in leveraged leases, which are accounted for using the equity method. The carrying value under the equity method reflects the amortized cost of the lease receivable and related non-recourse Expected Credit Loss Impairment The expected credit loss (“ECL”) impairment allowance model applies to invested assets which are debt instruments and measured at FVOCI or amortized cost. ECL allowances are measured under four probability-weighted macroeconomic scenarios, which measure the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original EIR. This process includes consideration of past events, current market conditions and reasonable supportable information about future economic conditions. Forward-looking macroeconomic variables used within the estimation models represent variables that are the most closely related with credit losses in the relevant portfolio. The estimation and measurement of impairment losses requires significant judgement. These estimates are driven by many elements, changes in which can result in different levels of allowances. Elements include the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows, the Company’s criteria for assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk (“SICR”), the selection of forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios and their probability weights, the application of expert credit judgment in the development of the models, inputs and, when applicable, overlay adjustments. It is the Company’s practice to regularly review its models in the context of actual loss experience and adjust when necessary. The Company has implemented formal policies, procedures, and controls over all significant impairment processes. The Company’s definitions of default and credit-impaired are based on quantitative and qualitative factors. A financial instrument is considered to be in default when significant payments of interest, principal or fees are past due for more than 90 days, unless remedial arrangements with the issuer are in place. A financial instrument may be credit-impaired as a result of one or more loss events that occurred after the date of initial recognition of the instrument and the loss event has a negative impact on the estimated future cash flows of the instrument. This includes events that indicate or include: significant financial difficulty of the counterparty; a breach of contract; for economic or contractual reasons relating to the counterparty’s financial difficulty, concessions are granted that would not otherwise be considered; it is becoming probable that the counterparty will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of the counterparty’s financial difficulties; or the counterparty is considered to be in default by any of the major rating agencies such as S&P, Moody’s and Fitch. The ECL calculations include the following elements: • Probability of default (“PD”) is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. • Loss given default (“LGD”), is an estimate of the loss arising on a future default. This is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the Company expects to receive, including from collateral. It is based on credit default studies performed based on internal credit experience. • Exposure at default (“EAD”), is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, considering both the period of exposure and the amount of exposure at a given reporting date. The EADs are determined by modelling the range of possible exposure outcomes at various points in time, corresponding to the multiple economic scenarios. The probabilities are then assigned to each economic scenario based on the outcome of the models. The Company measures ECLs using a three-stage approach: • Stage 1 comprise all performing financial instruments that have not experienced a SICR since initial recognition. The determination of SICR varies by instrument and considers the relative change in the risk of default since origination. 12-month 12-month 12-month • Stage 2 comprise all performing financial instruments that have experienced a SICR since original recognition or have become 30 days in arrears for principal or interest payments, whichever happens first. When assets move to Stage 2, full lifetime ECLs are recognized, which represent ECLs that result from all possible default events over the remaining lifetime of the financial instrument. The mechanics are consistent with Stage 1, except PDs and LGDs are estimated over the remaining lifetime of the instrument instead of over the coming year. In subsequent reporting periods, if the credit risk of a financial instrument improves such that there is no longer a SICR compared to credit risk at initial recognition, the financial instrument will migrate back to Stage 1 and 12-month • Stage 3 comprise financial instruments identified as credit-impaired. Similar to Stage 2 assets, full lifetime ECLs are recognized for Stage 3 financial instruments, but the PD is set at 100%. A Stage 3 ECL is calculated using the unpaid principal balance multiplied by LGD which reflects the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and its discounted expected future cash flows. Interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount for both Stage 1 and 2 exposures. Interest income on Stage 3 financial instruments is determined by applying the EIR to the amortized cost of the instrument, which represents the gross carrying amount adjusted for the credit loss allowance. For Stage 1 and Stage 2 exposures, an ECL is generated for each individual exposure; however, the relevant parameters are modelled on a collective basis with all collective parameters captured by the individual security level. The exposures are grouped into smaller homogeneous portfolios, based on a combination of internal and external characteristics, such as origination details, balance history, sector, geographic location, and credit history. Stage 3 ECLs are either individually or collectively assessed, depending on the nature of the instrument and impairment. In assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly, the risk of default occurring is compared over the remaining expected life from the reporting date and as at the date of initial recognition. The assessment varies by instrument and risk segment. The assessment incorporates internal credit risk ratings and a combination of security-specific and portfolio-level assessments, including the incorporation of forward-looking macroeconomic data. The assessment of SICR considers both absolute and relative thresholds. If contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, the credit risk is automatically deemed to have increased significantly since initial recognition. When estimating ECLs, the four probability-weighted macroeconomic scenarios are considered. Economic forward-looking inputs vary by market. Depending on their usage in the models, macroeconomic inputs are projected at the country, province, or more granular level. Each macroeconomic scenario used includes a projection of all relevant macroeconomic variables for a five-year period, subsequently reverting to long-run The inputs and models used for calculating ECLs may not always capture all characteristics of the market at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Changes in the required ECL allowance are recorded in the provision for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Invested assets are written off, either partially or in full, against the related allowance for credit losses when there is no realistic prospect of recovery in respect of those amounts. This is considered a partial or full derecognition of the financial asset. In subsequent periods, any recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the provision for credit losses. (f) Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill represents the difference between the fair value of purchase consideration of an acquired business and the Company’s proportionate share of the net identifiable assets acquired. It is initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable at the cash generating unit (“CGU”) or group of CGUs level. The Company allocates goodwill to CGUs or group of CGUs for impairment testing at the lowest level within the Company where the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The allocation is made to those CGUs or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. Any potential impairment of goodwill is identified by comparing the recoverable amount with the carrying value of a CGU or group of CGUs. Goodwill is reduced by the amount of deficiency, if any. If the deficiency exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill, the carrying values of the remaining assets in the CGU or group of CGUs are subject to being reduced by the remaining deficiency on a pro-rata The recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is the higher of the estimated fair value less costs to sell or the value-in-use value-in-use, pre-tax Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives include the John Hancock brand name, certain investment management contracts and certain agricultural water rights. The indefinite useful life assessment for the John Hancock brand name is based on the brand name being protected by indefinitely renewable trademarks in markets where branded products are sold, and for certain investment management contracts based on the ability to renew these contracts indefinitely. In addition, there are no legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that limit the useful lives of these intangible assets. Certain agricultural water rights are held in perpetuity. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test which is performed more frequently if an indication that it is not recoverable arises. Intangible assets with finite useful lives include acquired distribution networks, customer relationships, capitalized software, and certain investment management contracts and other contractual rights. Distribution networks, customer relationships, and other finite life intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, six three (g) Miscellaneous assets Miscellaneous assets include assets held in a rabbi trust with respect to unfunded defined benefit obligations, defined benefit assets and capital assets. Rabbi trust assets are carried at fair value. Defined benefit assets carrying value is explained in note 1 (o). Capital assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization computed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which vary from two (h) Segregated funds The Company manages segregated funds on behalf of policyholders, which are presented as segregated funds net assets with offsetting insurance and investment contract liabilities for account of segregated fund holders in the amount of their account balances. The investment returns on these funds are passed directly to policyholders. In some cases, the Company has provided guarantees associated with these funds. Amounts invested by the Company in segregated funds for seed purposes are presented within invested asset categories based on the nature of the underlying investments. Segregated funds net assets are measured at fair value and include investments in mutual funds, debt securities, equities, cash, short-term investments and other investments. With respect to the consolidation requirement of IFRS, in assessing the Company’s degree of control over the underlying investments, the Company considers the scope of its decision-making rights, the rights held by other parties, its remuneration as an investment manager and its exposure to variability of returns from the investments. The Company has determined that it does not have control over the underlying investments as it acts as an agent on behalf of segregated fund policyholders. The methodology applied to determine the fair value of investments held in segregated funds is consistent with that applied to invested assets held by the general fund, as described above in note 1 (e). Segregated funds liabilities are measured based on the value of the segregated funds net assets. Investment returns on segregated funds assets are passed directly to policyholders and the Company does not bear the risk associated with these assets outside of guarantees offered on certain variable life and annuity products, for which the underlying investments are held within segregated funds. Some of the Company’s liabilities for account of segregated fund holders arise from insurance contracts that it issues. These are reported as Insurance contract liabilities for a

Accounting and Reporting Changes	Note 2 Accounting and Reporting Changes (a) Changes in accounting and reporting policy (I) IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” IFRS 17 was issued in May 2017 to be effective for years beginning on January 1, 2021. Amendments to IFRS 17 were issued in June 2020 and included a two-year Narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 17 were issued in December 2021 and were effective on initial application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 which the Company has adopted on January 1, 2023. The amendments reduce accounting mismatches between insurance contract liabilities and financial assets in scope of IFRS 9 within comparative prior periods when initially applying IFRS 17 and IFRS 9. The amendments allow insurers to present comparative information on financial assets as if IFRS 9 were fully applicable during the comparative period. The amendments do not permit application of IFRS 9 hedge accounting principles to the comparative period. The Company adopted IFRS 17 on January 1, 2023, with an effective date of January 1, 2022. The Company has prepared an opening balance sheet as at January 1, 2022 under IFRS 17 in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Any differences between the carrying value and the presentation of assets, liabilities and equity determined in accordance with CALM and IFRS 17, as at January 1, 2022, have been recorded in opening retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income. Refer to note 25 for adoption impact of IFRS 17. The 2022 comparative figures and the opening Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at January 1, 2022 as presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements have been restated, where indicated, for the adoption of IFRS 17. For the Company’s accounting policies for applying IFRS 17 to the Company’s insurance and reinsurance contracts, refer to note 1 (i) and (j). (II) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and amended in October 2010, November 2013 and July 2014, and is effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, to be applied retrospectively, or on a modified retrospective basis. Additionally, the IASB issued amendments in October 2017 that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. In conjunction with the amendments to IFRS 17 issued in June 2020, the IASB amended IFRS 4 to permit eligible insurers to apply IFRS 9 effective January 1, 2023, alongside IFRS 17. The standard replaced IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 addresses accounting and reporting principles for the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, the impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” (“IFRS 7”) was amended in conjunction with IFRS 9 and IFRS 17, with expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to financial instruments and became effective along with IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 on January 1, 2023. The Company adopted IFRS 9 on January 1, 2023, as permitted under the June 2020 amendments to IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”. The Company’s accounting policies for invested assets, and derivative and hedging instruments in accordance with IFRS 9 are presented in note 1. IFRS 9 does not require restatement of comparative periods and the Company has not done so. The Company elected the option under IFRS 17 to reclassify financial assets, including those held in respect of activities not connected to contracts within the scope of IFRS 17, on an instrument-by-instrument Consistent with IFRS 17 amendments, the adoption of IFRS 9 resulted in certain differences in the classification and measurement of financial assets when compared to their classification and measurement under IAS 39. The most significant classification changes included approximately $184 billion of debt securities previously classified as FVTPL which were classified as FVOCI under IFRS 9. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting requirements under IFRS 9 to all designated hedge accounting relationships prospectively, with the exception to the cost of hedging guidance, that has been applied retrospectively for certain cash flow hedge and net investment hedge relationships. As at January 1, 2023, all existing IAS 39 hedge accounting relationships were assessed and qualified for hedge accounting under IFRS 9. These existing relationships are treated as continuing hedge accounting relationships under IFRS 9 on January 1, 2023 and are disclosed with comparative information for 2022 under IAS 39. Refer to note 5. The Company has designated new hedge accounting relationships with the objective to reduce potential accounting mismatches between changes in the fair value of derivatives in income, and changes in fair value due to financial risk of insurance liabilities and financial assets in OCI. The incremental notional of derivatives designated in new hedge accounting relationships amounted to $232,637 on transition date. New hedge accounting relationships are effective prospectively on January 1, 2023. The effects of adoption were as follows: • Effects from applying IFRS 17 asset classification changes among FVTPL, AFS and amortized cost under IAS 39 to FVOCI and FVTPL under IFRS 9 resulted in a reduction in retained earnings of $10,645, net of tax, and an increase in OCI of $16,916, net of tax, as at January 1, 2022 when IFRS 17’s transition option was elected. These were presented under “Opening adjustment of financial assets at adoption of IFRS 9 / IFRS 17” in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. • The adoption of IFRS 9 resulted in recognition of ECL of $724. Loss allowances when applied to assets held at amortized cost reduce the carrying value of the assets and reduce equity. Loss allowances do not affect the fair value of assets held at FVOCI and therefore do not affect their carrying value. Loss allowances for assets held at FVOCI do not change total equity, instead result in movement between OCI and retained earnings. • The impact of adopting IFRS 9’s ECL impairment methodology resulted in a reduction to retained earnings of $409, net of tax, and an increase to • As at January 1, 2023, the retrospective application of IFRS 9 to the cost of hedging for currency basis spread resulted with a net $22 reclassification from cash flow hedge and foreign currency translation reserve to a new separate component of accumulated OCI, the cost of hedging. Other IFRS 9 hedge accounting principles had $nil impact as at January 1, 2023 for these Consolidated Financial Statements. • The impact of changes made as at January 1, 2023 were presented under line items labeled “Opening adjustment of financial assets at adoption of IFRS 9 / IFRS 17” in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. The implementation of IFRS 9 has been incorporated into the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework (“ERM”) and supervised by the Executive Risk Committee (“ERC”). The integration of forward-looking information into the calculation of the ECL and the definition and evaluation of what constitutes a significant increase in credit risk (“SICR”) of an investment are inherently subjective and involve the use of significant judgement. Therefore, the Company has developed a front-to-back has designed controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that information is properly recorded. The Company has effective credit risk management processes in place that continue to be applicable and aim to ensure that the effects of economic developments are appropriately considered, mitigation actions are taken where required and risk appetite is reassessed and adjusted as needed. The Company adopted IFRS 7 (as amended), which expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to financial instruments on January 1, 2023. Refer to notes 4, 5 and 9. The following table illustrates the impact on loss allowances for invested assets on transition from the incurred loss impairment under IAS 39 to the expected credit losses impairment allowance under IFRS 9. December 31, 2022 IAS 39 Impairment allowance January 1, 2023 IFRS 9 ECL allowance Debt securities at FVOCI under IFRS 9 $ – $ 348 Private placements at FVOCI under IFRS 9 – 255 Private placements at amortized cost under IAS 39 25 – Mortgages at FVOCI under IFRS 9 – 83 Mortgages at amortized cost under IAS 39 10 – Other invested assets at FVOCI under IFRS 9 – 13 Financial assets at amortized cost under IFRS 9 – 14 Mortgages at amortized cost under IAS 39 7 – Loans to Bank clients under IAS 39 5 – Total on-balance 47 713 Allowance for credit losses on off-balance – 11 Total $ 47 $ 724 The following table shows financial liabilities under IAS 39 and the impact of classification and measurement changes on adoption of IFRS 9.

(2) Other liabilities include amounts not in scope of IFRS 9, for example pension obligations. Other liabilities of $1,473 held at amortized cost under IFRS 9 were reclassified from insurance contract liabilities under IFRS 4. (III) Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IFRS Practice Statement 2 “Making Materiality Judgements” were issued in February 2021 and are effective prospectively on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. The amendments address the process of selecting accounting policy disclosures, which will be based on assessments of the materiality of the accounting policies to the entity’s financial statements. Adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. (IV) Amendments to IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors” Amendments to IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors” were issued in February 2021, and are effective prospectively on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted. The amendments include new definitions of estimate and change in accounting estimate, intended to help clarify the distinction among changes in accounting estimates, changes in accounting policies, and corrections of errors. Adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. (V) Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes” Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes” were issued in May 2023. The amendments relate to the OECD’s International Pillar Two tax reform, which seeks to establish a global minimum tax (“GMT”) of fifteen per cent and address inter-jurisdictional base erosion and profit shifting, targeting larger international companies. Most jurisdictions have agreed to participate and effective dates for the GMT vary by jurisdiction based on local legislation. The Amendments require that, effective for the year ended December 31, 2023, disclosure of current tax expense or recovery related to the GMT is required along with, to the extent that the GMT legislation is enacted or substantively enacted but not yet in effect, disclosure of known or reasonably estimable information that helps users of financial statements understand the Company’s exposure to the GMT arising from that legislation. Certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates, including Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Vietnam, have enacted legislation to adopt the GMT as of January 1, 2024. The assessment of the Company’s potential exposure to the GMT is based on the most recent information available regarding the financial performance of the constituent entities in these jurisdictions. Based on the assessment, the Company’s operations within these jurisdictions are not impacted by the GMT and therefore no disclosure of current tax expense or recovery related to the GMT is provided. The United States adopted a corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) of fifteen per cent, with an effective date of January 1, 2023. CAMT is not a Qualifying Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax for the purposes of the GMT. In response to the GMT, Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax 2023 Act on December 27, 2023. The Company’s Bermuda tax-resident subsidiaries and branches will be subject to this new tax regime effective January 1, 2025, at a rate of fifteen per cent. The Bermuda corporate income tax is not a Qualifying Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax for the purposes of the GMT. Countries without a qualified domestic minimum top-up tax of their own will be in scope for Canada’s global minimum tax calculations, once enacted. The Company does not expect this will affect Manulife’s total global minimum tax exposure; however, it will dictate which jurisdiction has the taxing right for local country income. The Amendments introduce a temporary mandatory exception in IAS 12 from recognizing and disclosing deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the GMT. The Company has applied the mandatory temporary exception from accounting for deferred taxes in respect of the GMT.

Benefits received from these securitizations include interest spread between the assets and associated liabilities. There is no credit exposure from securitized mortgages under the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (“CMHC”) sponsored CMB securitization program as they are insured by CMHC and other third-party insurance programs against borrowers’ default. Mortgages securitized in the Platinum Canadian Mortgage Trust II (“PCMT II”) program are uninsured. Cash flows received from the underlying securitized assets/mortgages are used to settle the related secured borrowing liabilities. For CMB transactions, receipts of principal are deposited into a trust account for settlement of the liabilities at time of maturity. These transferred assets and related cash flows cannot be further transferred or used for other purposes by the Company. For HELOC transactions, investors are entitled to periodic interest payments, and the remaining cash receipts of principal are allocated to the Company (the “Seller”) during the revolving periods of the transactions and are accumulated for settlement during accumulation periods or repaid to the investors monthly during reduction periods, based on the terms of the notes.

Non-market observable inputs include credit assumptions and liquidity spread adjustments. Private placements are classified within Level 2 unless the liquidity adjustment constitutes a significant price impact, in which case the securities are classified as Level 3. (2) For real estate properties, the significant non-market observable inputs are capitalization rates 2.72 10.75 (2022 – 2.25 9.00 %), 3.00 10.00 2023 (2022 – 3.25 9.50 %) 3.20 14.00 (2022 – 3.30 11.00 %).

Non-market observable inputs include credit assumptions and liquidity spread adjustments. Fair value of fixed-rate residential mortgages is determined using the discounted cash flow method. Inputs used for valuation are primarily comprised of prevailing interest rates and prepayment rates, if applicable. Fair value of variable-rate residential mortgages is assumed to be their carrying value. (2) Fair value of fixed-rate loans to Bank clients is determined using the discounted cash flow method. Inputs used for valuation are primarily comprised of current interest rates. Fair value of variable-rate loans is assumed to be their carrying value. (3) Fair value of own use real estate and the fair value hierarchy are determined in accordance with the methodologies described for real estate – investment property in note 1(e). (4) Primarily includes leveraged leases of $3,790 (2022 – $3,840 ), and equity method accounted other invested assets. Fair value of leveraged leases is disclosed at their carrying values as fair value is not routinely calculated on these investments. Fair value for energy properties is determined using external appraisals based on discounted cash flow methodology. Inputs used in valuation are primarily comprised of forecasted price curves, planned production, as well as capital expenditures, and operating costs. Fair value of equity method accounted other invested assets is determined using a variety of valuation techniques including discounted cash flows and market comparable approaches. Inputs vary based on the specific investment. Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 The Company records transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 at their fair values as at the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. Assets are transferred out of Level 1 when they are no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume in an active market. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 when transaction volume and frequency are indicative of an active market. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had $nil of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 (2022 – $nil). For segregated funds net assets, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had $nil transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 (2022 – $nil). During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had $nil transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 (2022 – $nil). Invested assets and segregated funds net assets measured at fair value using significant non-market observable inputs (Level 3) The Company classifies fair values of invested assets and segregated funds net assets as Level 3 if there are no observable markets for these assets or, in the absence of active markets, significant non-market observable inputs are used to determine fair value. The Company prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over non-market observable inputs in determining Level 3 fair values.

Derivative and Hedging Instruments	Note 5 Derivative and Hedging Instruments Derivatives are financial contracts, the value of which is derived from a variety of factors described in note 5 Swaps are contractual agreements between the Company and a third-party to exchange a series of cash flows based upon rates applied to a notional amount. For interest rate swaps, counterparties generally exchange fixed or floating interest rate payments based on a notional value in a single currency. Cross currency swaps involve the exchange of principal amounts between parties as well as the exchange of interest payments in one currency for the receipt of interest payments in another currency. Total return swaps are contracts that involve the exchange of payments based on changes in the values of a reference asset, including any returns such as interest earned on these assets, in return for amounts based on reference rates specified in the contract. Forward and futures agreements are contractual obligations to buy or sell a financial instrument, foreign currency or other underlying commodity on a predetermined future date at a specified price. Forward contracts are OTC contracts negotiated between counterparties, whereas futures agreements are contracts with standard amounts and settlement dates that are traded on regulated exchanges. Options are contractual agreements whereby the holder has the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a security, exchange rate, interest rate, or other financial instrument at a predetermined price/rate within a specified time. See variable annuity dynamic hedging strategy in note 9 (a) for an explanation of the Company’s dynamic hedging strategy for its variable annuity product guarantees. (a) Fair value of derivatives The pricing models used to value derivatives are based on market standard valuation methodologies and the inputs to these models are consistent with what a market participant would use when pricing the instruments. Derivative valuations can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, financial indices, commodity prices or indices, credit spreads, default risk (including the counterparties to the contract), and market volatility. The significant inputs to the pricing models for most derivatives are inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data and are classified as Level 2. Inputs that are observable generally include interest rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rate curves. However, certain derivatives may rely on inputs that are significant to the fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data and these derivatives are classified as Level 3. Inputs that are unobservable generally include broker quoted prices, volatilities and inputs that are outside of the observable portion of the interest rate curve or other relevant market measures. These non-market observable inputs may involve significant management judgment or estimation. Even though non-market observable, these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances and consistent with what market participants would use when pricing such instruments. The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company are considered in determining the fair value for all derivatives after considering the effects of netting agreements and collateral arrangements. The following table presents gross notional amount and fair value of derivative instruments by the underlying risk exposure.

Replacement cost represents the current cost of replacing all contracts with a positive fair value. The amounts take into consideration legal contracts that permit offsetting of positions. The potential future credit exposure is calculated based on a formula prescribed by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (“OSFI”). (2) Capital requirement represents the credit equivalent amount, weighted according to the creditworthiness of the counterparty, as prescribed by OSFI. The total notional amount of $440 billion (2022 – $396 billion) includes $82 billion (2022 – $77 billion) related to derivatives utilized in the Company’s variable annuity guarantee dynamic hedging. Due to the Company’s variable annuity hedging practices, many trades are in offsetting positions, resulting in materially lower net fair value exposure for the Company than what the gross notional amount would suggest.

In certain circumstances, these derivatives meet the requirements of hedge accounting and designating them in qualifying hedge accounting relationships achieves the desired IFRS presentation. Risk management strategies eligible for hedge accounting are designated as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or net investment hedges. At the inception of a hedge accounting relationship, the Company documents the relationship between hedging instrument and hedged item, its risk management objective, and its strategy for undertaking the hedge. At hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, an assessment is performed and documented to demonstrate that the hedging relationship qualifies or continues to qualify for hedge accounting. In order to qualify for hedge accounting, there has to be an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, an assessment that the effect of credit risk does not dominate the economic relationship, and the hedge ratio between the hedging instrument and the hedged item will be based on the approach used by risk management, unless the hedge ratio used by risk management results in an imbalance that would create hedge ineffectiveness that is inconsistent with the purpose of hedge accounting. • The Company designates a specific risk component or a combination of risk components as the hedged risk, including benchmark interest rate, foreign exchange rate, equity price and consumer price index components. All these risk components are observable in the relevant market environment and the changes in fair value or variability in cash flows attributable to these risk components can be reliably measured for hedged items. The hedged risk is generally the most significant risk component of the overall changes in fair value or in cash flows. The Company acquires derivatives for economic hedging purposes with underlying characteristics that offset the hedged risk based on the risk management strategy. • The Company executes hedging derivatives with counterparties with high credit quality and monitors the creditworthiness of the counterparties to ensure they are expected to meet cash flow obligations on the hedging instruments as they come due, and that the probability of counterparty default is remote. Further, changes in the Company’s own credit risk are immaterial and have insignificant impact to the hedging relationships. • A hedge ratio is calculated as the ratio between the quantity of the hedged item that the Company hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument the Company uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. ¡ For group fair value hedges of interest rate risk of insurance liabilities and group fair value hedges of foreign exchange and interest rate risk of foreign currency denominated debt instruments, the Company constructs the hedge relationship by comparing interest rate sensitivities of the group of hedging derivatives and the group of hedged items in the same currency. Interest rate sensitivities are compared by estimating the change in the present value of cash flows of hedged items and of hedging derivatives from an instantaneous shock to interest rates, assuming no rebalancing actions are undertaken. ¡ For the rest of the Company’s hedge accounting relationships, the Company generally constructs the hedge relationships by comparing the notional amounts of the hedging derivatives with that of the hedged items. Hedge ineffectiveness in various hedging relationships may still exist and potential sources of hedge ineffectiveness by risk category are summarized as below: Interest Foreign Equity Consumer Mismatches in some critical terms of hedging instrument and hedged item ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Differences in valuation methodologies including discounting factor ✓ ✓ ✓ Changes in timing and amount of forecasted hedged items ✓ ✓ Differences due to the use of non-zero fair value hedging instruments ✓ ✓ Hedging relationships that frequently reset The Company uses a portfolio of derivatives as a fair value hedge of foreign exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations of fixed rate debt instruments denominated in non-functional currencies, as well as interest rate fluctuations of guaranteed insurance liabilities. The risk management objective is to hedge these foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations with a hedge horizon of three months. At the end of each hedge horizon, the hedging relationships mature; and new fair value hedging relationships are designated with a newly designated pool of hedging instruments and hedged items. Fair value hedges The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments and guaranteed insurance liabilities due to changes in interest rates. The Company also uses cross currency swaps to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate fluctuations, or both. The Company recognizes gains and losses on derivatives and the related hedged items in fair value hedges in total investment result. These investment gains (losses) are shown in the following table.

Cash flow hedges The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows from variable rate financial instruments and from forecasted transactions. The Company also uses cross currency swaps and foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the variability from foreign currency financial instruments and foreign currency expenses. Total return swaps are used to hedge the variability in cash flows associated with certain stock-based compensation awards. Inflation swaps are used to reduce inflation risk generated from inflation-indexed liabilities. The effects of derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships on the Consolidated Statements of Income and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income are shown in the following table. The effective portion of the change in fair value of hedging instruments associated with the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) cash flow hedge accounting program is presented in AOCI, in the same line as the hedged item – Insurance finance income (expenses). The accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balances of $(149) as at December 31, 2023 (2022 – $(85)) are all related to continuing cash flow hedges, of which $(85) (December 31, 2022 – $nil) related to CPI cash flow hedges that were reported in AOCI – Insurance finance income (expense s For the year ended December 31, 2023 Hedged items in qualifying cash flow hedging relationships Change in fair Change in fair Gains (losses) Gains (losses) Ineffectiveness Interest rate risk Treasury locks Forecasted liability issuance $ (1 ) $ 1 $ 1 $ – $ – Foreign exchange risk Foreign currency swaps Fixed rate liabilities 10 (10 ) (10 ) (8 ) – Interest and foreign exchange risk Foreign currency swaps Floating rate liabilities (23 ) 23 23 16 – Equity price risk Equity contracts Stock-based compensation (40 ) 40 40 3 – CPI risk Interest rate swaps (1) Inflation linked insurance liabilities 4 (4 ) (4 ) 81 – Total $ (50 ) $ 50 $ 50 $ 92 $ – For the year ended December 31, 2022 Hedged items in qualifying cash flow hedging relationships Change in fair Change in fair Gains (losses) Gains (losses) Ineffectiveness Foreign exchange risk Foreign currency swaps Fixed rate assets $ 1 $ (1 ) $ (1 ) $ (1 ) $ – Fixed rate liabilities (34 ) 34 34 35 – Interest and foreign exchange risk Foreign currency swaps Floating rate liabilities (175 ) 175 175 (49 ) – Equity price risk Equity contracts Stock-based compensation (2 ) 2 2 6 – Total $ (210 ) $ 210 $ 210 $ (9 ) $ – (1) Gains (losses) deferred in AOCI on derivatives are presented in AOCI under Insurance finance income (expense s The Company anticipates that net losses of approximately $17 will be reclassified from AOCI to net income within the next 12 months.

As noted above, upon adoption of IFRS 9, the Company has prospectively designated additional existing derivatives in hedge accounting relationships. Below are the investment income impacts of derivatives not designated in qualifying hedge accounting relationships.

Certain reinsurance contracts related to guaranteed minimum income benefits contain embedded derivatives requiring separate measurement at FVTPL as the financial component contained in the reinsurance contracts does not contain significant insurance risk. Claims recovered under reinsurance ceded contracts offset claims expenses and claims paid on the reinsurance assumed December 31, 2023, reinsurance ceded guaranteed minimum income benefits had a fair value of $402 (2022 – $535) and reinsurance assumed guaranteed minimum income benefits had a fair value of $46 (2022 – $58). The Company’s credit and interest rate embedded derivatives promise to pay the returns on a portfolio of assets to the contract holder. These embedded derivatives contain credit and interest rate risks that are financial risks embedded in the underlying insurance and investment contract. As at December 31, 2023, these embedded derivative liabilities had a fair value of Other insurance contract features which are classified as embedded derivatives but are exempt from separate measurement at fair value include variable universal life and variable life products’ minimum guaranteed credited rates, no lapse guarantees, guaranteed annuitization options, CPI indexing of benefits, and segregated fund minimum guarantees other than reinsurance ceded/assumed guaranteed minimum income benefits. These embedded derivatives are measured and reported within insurance contract liabilities and are exempt from separate fair value measurement as they contain insurance risk and/or are closely related to the insurance host contract.

The testing indicated that there was no impairment of goodwill in 2023 (2022 – $nil). The following tables present the carrying value of goodwill by CGU or group of CGUs.

(c) Valuation techniques When determining if a CGU is impaired, the Company compares its recoverable amount to the allocated capital for that unit, which is aligned with the Company’s internal reporting practices. The recoverable amounts were based on fair value less costs to sell (“FVLCS”) for Asia Insurance (excluding Japan) and Asia WAM. For other CGUs, value-in-use (“VIU”) was used. Under the FVLCS approach, the Company determines the fair value of the CGU or group of CGUs using an earnings-based approach which incorporates forecasted earnings, excluding interest and equity market impacts and normalized new business expenses multiplied by an earnings-multiple derived from the observable price-to-earnings multiples of comparable financial institutions. The price-to-earnings multiple used by the Company for testing ranged from 4.4 to Under the VIU approach, used for CGUs with insurance business, an embedded appraisal value is determined from a projection of future distributable earnings derived from both the in-force business and new business expected to be sold in the future, and therefore, reflects the economic value for each CGU’s or group of CGUs’ profit potential under a set of assumptions. This approach requires assumptions including sales and revenue growth rates, capital requirements, interest rates, equity returns, mortality, morbidity, policyholder behaviour, tax rates and discount rates. For non-insurance CGUs, the VIU is based on discounted cash flow analysis which incorporates relevant aspects of the embedded appraisal value approach. (d) Significant assumptions To calculate an insurance appraisal value, the Company discounted projected earnings from in-force contracts and valued 20 years of new business growing at expected plan levels, consistent with the periods used for forecasting long-term businesses such as insurance. In arriving at its projections, the Company considered past experience, economic trends such as interest rates, equity returns and product mix as well as industry and market trends. Where growth rate assumptions for new business cash flows were used in the embedded appraisal value calculations, they ranged from nine Interest rate assumptions are based on prevailing market rates at the valuation date. Tax were (2022 – per cent, respectively). Tax assumptions are sensitive to changes in tax laws as well as assumptions about the jurisdictions in which profits are earned. It is possible that effective tax rates could differ from those assumed. Discount rates assumed in determining the value-in-use for applicable CGUs or group of CGUs ranged from 10.0 per cent to 13.0 per cent on an after-tax basis or 12.5 per cent to 16.3 per cent on a pre-tax basis (2022 – 10.0 per cent to 12.0 per cent on an after-tax basis or 12.5 per cent to 15.0 per cent on a pre-tax basis). Key assumptions may change as economic and market conditions change, which may lead to impairment charges in the future. Adverse changes in discount rates (including from changes in interest rates) and growth rate assumptions for new business cash flow projections used in the determination of embedded appraisal values or reductions in market-based earnings multiples calculations may result in impairment charges in the future which could be material.

Investment Contract Liabilities	Note 8  Investment Contract Liabilities Investment contract liabilities are contractual financial obligations of the Company that do not contain significant insurance risk. Those contracts are subsequently measured either at FVTPL or at amortized cost. (a) Investment contract liabilities designated as FVTPL Investment contract liabilities measured at fair value are designated as FVTPL on initial recognition and include certain investment savings and pension products. The Company does not have any investment contract liabilities that are mandatorily measured at FVTPL. The following table presents the movement in investment contract liabilities measured at fair value.

Risk Management	Note 9 Risk Management Manulife offers insurance, wealth and asset management products and other financial services, which subjects the Company to a broad range of risks. Manulife manages these risks within an enterprise-wide risk management framework. Manulife’s goal in managing risk is to strategically optimize risk taking and risk management to support long-term revenue, earnings and capital growth. Manulife seeks to achieve this by capitalizing on business opportunities and strategies with appropriate risk/return profiles; ensuring sufficient management expertise is in place to effectively execute strategies, and to identify, understand and manage underlying inherent risks; ensuring strategies and activities align with its corporate and ethical standards and operational capabilities; pursuing opportunities and risks that enhance diversification; and in making all risk taking decisions with analyses of inherent risks, risk controls and mitigations, and risk/return trade-off. (a) Market risk Market risk is the risk of loss resulting from market price volatility, interest rate change, credit and swap spread changes, and adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements. Market price volatility primarily relates to changes in prices of publicly traded equities and alternative long-duration assets. The profitability of the Company’s insurance and annuity products, as well as the fees the Company earns in its investment management business, are subject to market risk. Please read below for details on factors that could impact the level of market risk and the strategies used to manage this risk: Market risk management strategy Market risk management strategy is governed by the Global Asset Liability Committee which oversees the overall market and liquidity risk program. The Company’s overall strategy to manage its market risks incorporates several component strategies, each targeted to manage one or more of the market risks arising from the Company’s businesses. At an enterprise level, these strategies are designed to manage the Company’s aggregate exposures to market risks against limits associated with earnings and capital volatility. The following table outlines the Company’s key market risks and identifies the risk management strategies which contribute to managing these risks. Risk Management Strategy Key Market Risk Public Interest Rate and Spread Risk ALDA Risk Foreign Exchange Risk Liquidity Risk Product design and pricing ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Variable annuity guarantee dynamic hedging ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Macro equity risk hedging ✓ ✓ ✓ Asset liability management ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Foreign currency exchange management ✓ ✓ Liquidity risk management ✓ Product design and pricing strategy The Company’s policies, standards, and guidelines with respect to product design and pricing are designed with the objective of aligning its product offerings with its risk taking philosophy and risk appetite, and in particular, ensuring that incremental risk generated from new sales aligns with its strategic risk objectives and risk limits. The specific design features of Manulife’s product offerings, including level of benefit guarantees, policyholder options, fund offerings and availability restrictions as well as its associated investment strategies, help to mitigate the level of underlying risk. Manulife regularly reviews and modifies key features within its product offerings, including premiums and fee charges with a goal of meeting profit targets and staying within risk limits. Certain of the Company’s general fund adjustable benefit products have minimum rate guarantees. The rate guarantees for any particular policy are set at the time the policy is issued and governed by insurance regulation in each jurisdiction where the products are sold. The contractual provisions allow crediting rates to be re-set pre-established in-force Hedging strategies for variable annuity and other equity risks The Company’s exposure to movement in public equity market values primarily arises from insurance contract liabilities related to variable annuity guarantees and general fund public equity investments. Dynamic hedging is the primary hedging strategy for variable annuity market risks. Dynamic hedging is employed for new variable annuity guarantees business when written or as soon as practical thereafter. Manulife seeks to manage public equity risk arising from unhedged exposures in its insurance contract liabilities through the macro equity risk hedging strategy. The Company seeks to manage interest rate risk arising from variable annuity business not dynamically hedged through its asset liability management strategy. Variable annuity dynamic hedging strategy The variable annuity dynamic hedging strategy is designed to hedge the sensitivity of variable annuity guarantee insurance contract liabilities to fund performance (both public equity and bond funds) and interest rate movements. The objective of the variable annuity dynamic hedging strategy is to offset, as closely as possible, the change in the economic value of guarantees with the profit and loss from the hedge asset portfolio. The Company’s variable annuity hedging program uses a variety of exchange-traded and over-the-counter The Company’s variable annuity guarantee dynamic hedging strategy is not designed to completely offset the sensitivity of insurance contract liabilities to all risks associated with the guarantees embedded in these products. The profit (loss) on the hedge instruments will not completely offset the underlying losses (gains) related to the guarantee liabilities hedged because: •   Policyholder behaviour and mortality experience are not hedged; •   Risk adjustment related to cost of guarantees in the insurance contract liabilities is largely hedged; •   A portion of interest rate risk is not hedged; •   Credit spreads may widen and actions might not be taken to adjust accordingly; •   Fund performance on a small portion of the underlying funds is not hedged due to lack of availability of effective exchange-traded hedge instruments; •   Performance of the underlying funds hedged may differ from the performance of the corresponding hedge instruments; •   Correlations between interest rates and equity markets could lead to unfavourable material impacts; •   Unfavourable hedge rebalancing costs can be incurred during periods of high volatility from equity markets, bond markets and/or interest rates. The impact is magnified when these impacts occur concurrently; and •   Not all other risks are hedged. Macro equity risk hedging strategy The objective of the macro equity risk hedging program is to maintain the Company’s overall earnings sensitivity to public equity market movements within the Board approved risk appetite limits. The macro equity risk hedging program is designed to hedge earnings sensitivity due to movements in public equity markets arising from all sources (outside of dynamically hedged exposures). Sources of equity market sensitivity addressed by the macro equity risk hedging program include: •   Residual equity and currency exposure from variable annuity guarantees not dynamically hedged; •   General fund equity holdings backing guaranteed, adjustable liabilities and variable universal life; and •   Host contract fees related to variable annuity guarantees are not dynamically hedged. Asset liability management strategy Manulife’s asset liability management strategy is designed to help ensure that the market risks embedded in its assets and liabilities held in the Company’s general fund are effectively managed and that risk exposures arising from these assets and liabilities are maintained within risk limits. The embedded market risks include risks related to the level and movement of interest rates and credit and swap spreads, public equity market performance, ALDA performance and foreign currency exchange rate movements. General fund product liabilities are categorized into groups with similar characteristics in order to support them with a specific asset strategy. The Company seeks to align the asset strategy for each group to the premium and benefit patterns, policyholder options and guarantees, and crediting rate strategies of the products they support. The strategies are set using portfolio analysis techniques intended to optimize returns, subject to considerations related to regulatory and economic capital requirements, and risk tolerances. They are designed to achieve broad diversification across asset classes and individual investment risks while being suitably aligned with the liabilities they support. The strategies encompass asset mix, quality rating, term profile, liquidity, currency and industry concentration targets. Foreign exchange risk management strategy Manulife’s policy is to generally match the currency of its assets with the currency of the liabilities they support. Where assets and liabilities are not currency matched, the Company seeks to hedge this exposure where appropriate to stabilize its earnings and capital positions and remain within its enterprise foreign exchange risk limits. Liquidity risk management strategy Global liquidity management policies and procedures are designed to provide adequate liquidity to cover cash and collateral obligations as they come due, and to sustain and grow operations in both normal and stressed conditions. They consider legal, regulatory, tax, operational or economic impediments to inter-entity funding. The asset mix of the Company’s balance sheet takes into account the need to hold adequate unencumbered and appropriate liquid assets to satisfy the requirements arising under stressed scenarios and to allow Manulife’s liquidity ratios to remain strong. Manulife manages liquidity centrally and closely monitors the liquidity positions of its principal subsidiaries. Manulife seeks to mitigate liquidity risk by diversifying its business across different products, markets, geographical regions and policyholders. The Company designs insurance products to encourage policyholders to maintain their policies in-force, to help generate a diversified and stable flow of recurring premiums. The Company designs the policyholder termination features with the goal of mitigating the financial exposure and liquidity risk related to unexpected policyholder terminations. The Company establishes and implements investment strategies intended to match the term profile of the assets to the liabilities they support, taking into account the potential for unexpected policyholder terminations and resulting liquidity needs. Liquid assets represent a large portion of the Company’s total assets. Manulife aims to reduce liquidity risk in the Company’s businesses by diversifying its funding sources and appropriately managing the term structure of its funding. The Company forecasts and monitors daily operating liquidity and cash movements in various individual entities and operations as well as centrally, aiming to ensure liquidity is available and cash is employed optimally. The Company also maintains centralized cash pools and access to other sources of liquidity and contingent liquidity such as repurchase funding agreements. Manulife’s centralized cash pools consist of cash or near-cash, high quality short-term investments that are continually monitored for their credit quality and market liquidity. Manulife has established a variety of contingent liquidity sources. These include, among others, a $500 committed unsecured revolving credit facility with certain Canadian chartered banks available for the Company, and a US$500 committed unsecured revolving credit facility with certain U.S. banks available to the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities as of December 31, 2023 (2022 – $ The Maturity of financial liabilities (1) As at December 31, 2023 Less than 1 to 3 3 to 5 Over 5 years Total Long-term debt $ – $  1,672 $ 920 $ 3,479 $   6,071 Capital instruments 594 – – 6,073 6,667 Derivatives 1,561 1,982 717  7,427 11,687 Deposits from Bank clients (2)  16,814 2,963  1,839 – 21,616 Lease liabilities 100 133 68 49 350 (1) (2)      Through (b) Market risk sensitivities and market risk exposure measures Variable annuity and segregated fund guarantees Guarantees on variable annuity products and segregated funds may include one or more of death, maturity, income and withdrawal guarantees.

These include sensitivities due to specific changes in market prices and interest rate levels projected using internal models as at a specific date , Publicly traded equity performance risk sensitivities and exposure measures The tables below include the potential impacts from an immediate % change in market values of publicly traded equities on CSM, net income attributed to shareholders, other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders, and total comprehensive income attributed to shareholders. The potential impact is shown after taking into account the impact of the change in markets on the hedge assets. While the Company cannot reliably estimate the amount of the change in dynamically hedged variable annuity guarantee liabilities that will not be offset by the change in the dynamic hedge assets, the Company makes certain assumptions for the purposes of estimating the impact on net income attributed to shareholders. This estimate assumes that the performance of the dynamic hedging program would not completely offset the gain/loss from the dynamically hedged variable annuity guarantee liabilities. It assumes that the hedge assets are based on the actual position at the period end, and that equity hedges in the dynamic program offset % of the hedged variable annuity liability movement that occurs as a result of market changes. It is also important to note that these estimates are illustrative, and that the dynamic and macro hedging programs may underperform these estimates, particularly during periods of high realized volatility and/or periods where both interest rates and equity market movements are unfavourable. The adoption of IFRS 17 did not change the method or assumptions used for deriving sensitivity information.

(2) For variable annuity contracts measured under VFA the impact of financial risk and changes in interest rates adjusts CSM, unless the risk mitigation option applies. The Company has elected to apply risk mitigation and therefore a portion of the impact is reported in net income attributed to shareholders instead of adjusting the CSM. If the CSM for a group of variable annuity contracts is exhausted the full impact is reported in net income attributed to shareholders. (3) This impact for general fund equity investments includes general fund investments supporting the Company’s insurance contract liabilities, investment in seed money investments (in segregated and mutual funds made by Global WAM segment) and the impact on insurance contract liabilities related to the projected future fee income on variable universal life and other unit linked products. The impact does not include any potential impact on public equity weightings. The participating policy funds are largely self-supporting and generate no material impact on net income attributed to shareholders as a result of changes in equity markets. (4) Includes the impact of assumed rebalancing of equity hedges in the macro and dynamic hedging program. The impact of dynamic hedge represents the impact of equity hedges offsetting 95% of the dynamically hedged variable annuity liability movement that occurs as a result of market changes, but does not include any impact in respect of other sources of hedge accounting ineffectiveness (e.g. , Potential immediate impact on contractual service margin, other comprehensive income to shareholders and total comprehensive income to shareholders (1),(2),(3) As at December 31, 2023 -30% -20% -10% +10% +20% +30% Variable annuity guarantees reported in CSM $ (3,810 ) $ (2,370 ) $ (1,100 ) $ 940 $ 1,760 $ 2,470 Impact of risk mitigation—hedging (4) 1,150 700 310 (250 ) (450 ) (600 ) Impact of risk mitigation—reinsurance (4) 1,850 1,140 530 (450 ) (830 ) (1,150 ) VA net of risk mitigation (810 ) (530 ) (260 ) 240 480 720 General fund equity (940 ) (610 ) (300 ) 290 590 870 Contractual service margin (pre-tax) $ (1,750 ) $ (1,140 ) $ (560 ) $ 530 $ 1,070 $ 1,590 Other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders (post-tax) (5) $ (730 ) $ (490 ) $ (240 ) $ 230 $ 460 $ 680 Total comprehensive income attributed to shareholders (post-tax) $ (1,920 ) $ (1,290 ) $ (640 ) $ 620 $ 1,240 $ 1,840 As at December 31, 2022 -30% -20% -10% +10% +20% +30% Variable annuity guarantees reported in CSM $ (3,410 ) $ (2,140 ) $ (1,010 ) $ 890 $ 1,670 $ 2,360 Impact of risk mitigation—hedging (4) 1,200 740 340 (280 ) (510 ) (690 ) Impact of risk mitigation—reinsurance (4) 1,480 930 440 (390 ) (730 ) (1,030 ) VA net of risk mitigation (730 ) (470 ) (230 ) 220 430 640 General fund equity (520 ) (370 ) (210 ) 240 490 730 Contractual service margin (pre-tax) $ (1,250 ) $ (840 ) $ (440 ) $ 460 $ 920 $ 1,370 Other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders (post-tax) (5) $ (620 ) $ (410 ) $ (210 ) $ 210 $ 400 $ 600 Total comprehensive income attributed to shareholders (post-tax) $ (2,080 ) $ (1,330 ) $ (630 ) $ 610 $ 1,180 $ 1,780 (1) See “Caution related to sensitivities” above. (2) This estimate assumes that the performance of the dynamic hedging program would not completely offset the gain/loss from the dynamically hedged variable annuity guarantee liabilities. It assumes that the hedge assets are based on the actual position at the period end, and that equity hedges in the dynamic program offset 95% of the hedged variable annuity liability movement that occur as a result of market changes. (3) OSFI rules for segregated fund guarantees reflect full capital impacts of shocks over 20 quarters within a prescribed range. As such, the deterioration in equity markets could lead to further increases in capital requirements after the initial shock. (4) For variable annuity contracts measured under VFA the impact of financial risk and changes in interest rates adjusts CSM, unless the risk mitigation option applies. The Company has elected to apply risk mitigation and therefore a portion of the impact is reported in net income attributed to shareholders instead of adjusting the CSM. If the CSM for a group of variable annuity contracts is exhausted the full impact is reported in net income attributed to shareholders. (5) The impact of financial risk and changes to interest rates for variable annuity contracts is not expected to generate sensitivity in Other Comprehensive Income. Interest rate and spread risk sensitivities and exposure measures As at 50 benefit 50 charge The table below shows the potential impacts from a 50 basis point parallel move in interest rates on CSM, net income attributed to shareholders, other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders, and total comprehensive income attributed to shareholders. This includes a change in current government, swap and corporate rates for all maturities across all markets with no change in credit spreads between government, swap and corporate rates. Also shown separately are the potential impacts from a 50 basis point parallel move in corporate spreads and a 20 basis point parallel move in swap spreads. The impacts reflect the net impact of movements in asset values in liability and surplus segments and movements in the present value of cash flows for insurance contracts including those with cash flows that vary with the returns of underlying items where the present value is measured by stochastic modelling. The method used for deriving sensitivity information and significant assumptions made did not change from the previous period. The disclosed interest rate sensitivities reflect the accounting designations of the Company’s financial assets and corresponding insurance contract liabilities. In most cases these assets and liabilities are designated as FVOCI and as a result, impacts from changes to interest rates are largely in other comprehensive income. There are also changes in interest rates that impact the CSM for VFA contracts that relate to amounts that are not passed through to policyholders. In addition, changes in interest rates impact net income as it relates to derivatives not in hedge accounting relationships and on VFA contracts where the CSM has been exhausted. The disclosed interest rate sensitivities assume no hedge accounting ineffectiveness, as the Company’s hedge accounting programs are optimized for parallel movements in interest rates, leading to immaterial net income impacts under these shocks. However, the actual hedge accounting ineffectiveness is sensitive to non-parallel The Company’s sensitivities vary across all regions in which it operates, and the impacts of yield curve changes will vary depending upon the geography where the change occurs. Furthermore, the impacts from non-parallel The interest rate and spread risk sensitivities are determined in isolation of each other and therefore do not reflect the combined impact of changes in government rates and credit spreads between government, swap and corporate rates occurring simultaneously. As a result, the impact of the summation of each individual sensitivity may be materially different from the impact of sensitivities to simultaneous changes in interest rate and spread risk. The potential impacts also do not take into account other potential effects of changes in interest rate levels, for example, CSM at recognition on the sale of new business or lower interest earned on future fixed income asset purchases. The impacts do not reflect any potential effect of changing interest rates on the value of the Company’s ALDA. Rising interest rates could negatively impact the value of the Company’s ALDA. More information on ALDA can be found below under “Alternative long-duration asset performance risk sensitivities and exposure measures”.

(2) Estimates include changes to the net actuarial gains/losses with respect to the Company’s pension obligations as a result of changes in interest rates. (3) Includes guaranteed insurance and annuity products, including variable annuity contracts as well as adjustable benefit products where benefits are generally adjusted as interest rates and investment returns change, a portion of which have minimum credited rate guarantees. For adjustable benefit products subject to minimum rate guarantees, the sensitivities are based on the assumption that credited rates will be floored at the minimum. (4) The Company adopted IFRS 9 hedge accounting prospectively from January 1, 2023, as such the sensitivity results for 2023 and 2022 are based on different accounting basis in which 2023 includes the impacts of hedge accounting and 2022 does not. Alternative long-duration asset performance risk sensitivities and exposure measures The following table shows the potential impact on CSM, net income attributed to shareholders, other comprehensive income attributed from ALDA includes commercial real estate, timber and farmland real estate, infrastructure, and private equities, some of which relate to energy. 1 The impacts do not reflect any future potential changes to non-fixed Potential immediate impacts on contractual service margin, net income attributed to shareholders, other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders, and total comprehensive income attributed to shareholders from changes in ALDA market values (1) As at   December 31, 2023   December 31, 2022 (post-tax -10% +10% -10% +10% CSM excluding NCI $ (100 ) $ 100 $ (100 ) $ 100 Net income attributed to shareholders (2,400 ) 2,400 (2,500 ) 2,500 Other comprehensive income attributed to shareholders (200 ) 200 (100 ) 100 Total comprehensive income attributed to shareholders (2,600 ) 2,600 (2,600 ) 2,600 (1) See “Caution related to sensitivities” above. Foreign exchange risk sensitivities and exposure measures The Company generally matches the currency of its assets with the currency of the insurance and investment contract liabilities they support, with the objective of mitigating risk of loss arising from foreign currency exchange rate changes. As at December 31, 2023, the Company did not have a material unmatched currency exposure. Liquidity risk exposure strategy Manulife manages liquidity levels of the consolidated group and key subsidiaries against established thresholds. These thresholds are based on liquidity stress scenarios over varying time horizons. Increased use of derivatives for hedging purposes has necessitated greater emphasis on measurement and management of contingent liquidity risk related to these instruments, in particular the movement of “over-the-counter” (c) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of loss due to inability or unwillingness of a borrower, or counterparty, to fulfill its payment obligations. Worsening regional and global economic conditions, segment or industry sector challenges, or company specific factors could result in defaults or downgrades and could lead to increased provisions or impairments related to the Company’s general fund invested assets. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is managed through risk management policies and procedures which include a defined credit evaluation and adjudication process, delegated credit approval authorities and established exposure limits by borrower, corporate connection, credit rating, industry and geographic region. The Company measures derivative counterparty exposure as net potential credit exposure, which takes into consideration fair values of all transactions with each counterparty, net of any collateral held, and an allowance to reflect future potential exposure. Reinsurance counterparty exposure is measured reflecting the level of ceded liabilities. The Company also ensures where warranted, that mortgages, private placements and loans to Bank clients are secured by collateral, the nature of which depends on the credit risk of the counterparty. Credit risk associated with derivative counterparties is discussed in note 9 (f) and credit risk associated with reinsurance counterparties is discussed in note 9 (k). 1 Energy includes legacy oil and gas equity interests related to upstream and midstream assets that are in runoff, and Energy Transition private equity interests in areas supportive of the transition to lower carbon forms of energy, such as wind, solar, batteries and magnets. (I) Credit quality The following table presents financial instruments subject to credit exposure, without considering any collateral held or other credit enhancements, and other significant credit risk exposures from loan commitments, with allowances, presenting separately Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 credit risk profiles. For each asset type presented in the table, amortized cost and FVOCI financial instruments are presented together.

Capital Management

Capital Management	Note 13 Capital Management (a) Capital management The Company monitors and manages its consolidated capital in compliance with the Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test (“LICAT”) guideline, the capital framework issued by OSFI. Under the capital framework, the Company’s consolidated capital resources, including available capital, surplus allowance, and eligible deposits, are measured against the base solvency buffer, which is the risk-based capital requirement determined in accordance with the guideline. The Company’s operating activities are primarily conducted within MLI and its subsidiaries. MLI is also regulated by OSFI and is therefore subject to consolidated risk-based capital requirements using the OSFI LICAT framework. The Company seeks to manage its capital with the objectives of: • Operating with sufficient capital to be able to honour all commitments to its policyholders and creditors with a high degree of confidence; • Retaining the ongoing confidence of regulators, policyholders, rating agencies, investors and other creditors in order to ensure access to capital markets; and • Optimizing return on capital to meet shareholders’ expectations subject to constraints and considerations of adequate levels of capital established to meet the first two objectives. Capital is managed and monitored in accordance with the Capital Management Policy. The policy is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors annually and is integrated with the Company’s risk and financial management frameworks. It establishes guidelines regarding the quantity and quality of capital, internal capital mobility, and proactive management of ongoing and future capital requirements. The capital management framework considers the requirements of the Company as a whole as well as the needs of each of the Company’s subsidiaries. Internal capital targets are set above the regulatory requirements, and consider a number of factors, including expectations of regulators and rating agencies, results of sensitivity and stress testing and the Company’s own risk assessments. The Company monitors against these internal targets and initiates actions appropriate to achieving its business objectives. Consolidated capital, whose components are based on accounting standards, is presented in the table below for MFC. For regulatory reporting purposes, under the LICAT framework, the numbers are further adjusted for various additions or deductions to capital as mandated by the guidelines used by OSFI. Consolidated capital As at December 31, 2023 2022 Total equity $ 48,727 $ 48,226 Exclude AOCI gain 26 8 Total equity excluding AOCI on cash flow hedges 48,701 48,218 Post-tax CSM 18,503 15,251 Qualifying capital instruments 6,667 6,122 Consolidated capital $  73,871 $ 69,591 (b) Restrictions on dividends and capital distributions Dividends and capital distributions are restricted under the Insurance Companies Act (“ICA”). These restrictions apply to both MFC and its primary operating subsidiary MLI. The ICA prohibits the declaration or payment of any dividend on shares of an insurance company if there are reasonable grounds for believing a company does not have adequate capital and adequate and appropriate forms of liquidity or the declaration or the payment of the dividend would cause the company to be in contravention of any regulation made under the ICA respecting the maintenance of adequate capital and adequate and appropriate forms of liquidity, or of any direction made to the company by OSFI. The ICA also requires an insurance company to notify OSFI of the declaration of a dividend at least 15 days prior to the date fixed for its payment. Similarly, the ICA prohibits the purchase for cancellation of any shares issued by an insurance company or the redemption of any redeemable shares or other similar capital transactions, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the company does not have adequate capital and adequate and appropriate forms of liquidity or the payment would cause the company to be in contravention of any regulation made under the ICA respecting the maintenance of adequate capital and adequate and appropriate forms of liquidity, or any direction made to the company by OSFI. These latter transactions would require the prior approval of OSFI. The ICA requires Canadian insurance companies to maintain adequate levels of capital at all times. Since MFC is a holding company that conducts all of its operations through regulated insurance subsidiaries (or companies owned directly or indirectly by these subsidiaries), its ability to pay future dividends will depend on the receipt of sufficient funds from its regulated insurance subsidiaries. These subsidiaries are also subject to certain regulatory restrictions under laws in Canada

Revenue from Service Contracts	Note 14 Revenue from Service Contracts The Company provides investment management services, transaction processing and administrative services and distribution and related services to proprietary and third-party investment funds, retirement plans, group benefit plans, institutional investors and other arrangements. The Company also provides real estate management services to tenants of the Company’s investment properties. The Company’s service contracts generally impose single performance obligations, each consisting of a series of similar related services for each customer. The Company’s performance obligations within service arrangements are generally satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services rendered, measured using an output method. Fees typically include variable consideration and the related revenue is recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved. Asset based fees vary with asset values of accounts under management, subject to market conditions and investor behaviors beyond the Company’s control. Transaction processing and administrative fees vary with activity volume, also beyond the Company’s control. Some fees, including distribution fees, are based on account balances and transaction volumes. Fees related to account balances and transaction volumes are measured daily. Real estate management service fees include fixed portions plus recovery of variable costs of services rendered to tenants. Fees related to services provided are generally recognized as services are rendered, which is when it becomes highly probable that no significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will occur. The Company has determined that its service contracts have no significant financing components because fees are collected monthly. The Company has no significant contract assets or contract liabilities. The following table presents revenue from service contracts by service lines and reporting segments as For the year ended December 31, 2023 Global Asia, Canada, Total Investment management and other related fees $ 3,298 $ (412 ) $ 2,886 Transaction processing, administration, and service fees 2,566 269 2,835 Distribution fees and other 842 54 896 Total included in other revenue 6,706 (89 ) 6,617 Revenue from non-service lines 3 126 129 Total other revenue $ 6,709 $ 37 $ 6,746 Real estate management services included in net investment income $ – $ 303 $ 303 For the year ended December 31, 2022 Global Asia, Canada, Total Investment management and other related fees $  3,079 $  (315 ) $ 2,764 Transaction processing, administration, and service fees 2,416 268 2,684 Distribution fees and other 910 89 999 Total included in other revenue 6,405 42 6,447 Revenue from non-service lines (14 ) (247 ) (261 ) Total other revenue $ 6,391 $ (205 ) $  6,186 Real estate management services included in net investment income $ – $ 305 $ 305

Employee Future Benefits

Employee Future Benefits	Note 16 Employee Future Benefits The Company maintains defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans and other post-employment plans for employees and agents including registered (tax-qualified) pension plans that are typically funded, as well as supplemental non-registered (non-qualified) pension plans for executives, retiree welfare plans and disability welfare plans that are typically not funded. (a) Plan characteristics The Company’s final average pay defined benefit pension plans and retiree welfare plans are closed to new members. All employees may participate in capital accumulation plans including defined benefit cash balance plans, 401(k) plans and/or defined contribution plans, depending on the country of employment. All pension arrangements are governed by local pension committees or management, but significant plan changes require approval from the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s funding policy for defined benefit pension plans is to make the minimum annual contributions required by regulations in the countries in which the plans are offered. Assumptions and methods prescribed for regulatory funding purposes typically differ from those used for accounting purposes. The Company’s remaining defined benefit pension and/or retiree welfare plans are in the U.S., Canada, Japan and Taiwan (China). There are also disability welfare plans in the U.S. and Canada. The largest defined benefit pension and retiree welfare plans are the primary plans for employees in the U.S. and Canada. These are the material plans that are discussed in the balance of this note. The Company measures its defined benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets for accounting purposes as at December 31 each year. U.S. defined benefit pension and retiree welfare plans The Company operates a qualified cash balance plan that is open to new members, a closed non-qualified cash balance plan, and a closed retiree welfare plan. Actuarial valuations to determine the Company’s minimum funding contributions for the qualified cash balance plan are required annually. Deficits revealed in the funding valuations must generally be funded over a period of up to seven years. It is expected that there will be no required funding for this plan in 2024. No assets are held in the non-qualified cash balance plan. The retiree welfare plan subsidizes the cost of life insurance and medical benefits. The majority of those who retired after 1991 receive a fixed-dollar subsidy from the Company based on service. The plan was closed to all employees hired after 2004. While assets have been set aside in a qualified trust to pay future retiree welfare benefits, this funding is optional. Retiree welfare benefits offered under the plan coordinate with the U.S. Medicare program to make optimal use of available federal financial support. 2 51 The qualified pension and retiree welfare plans are governed by the U.S. Benefits Committee, while the non-qualified pension plan is governed by the U.S. Non-Qualified Plans Subcommittee. Canadian defined benefit pension and retiree welfare plans The Company’s defined benefit plans in Canada include two registered final average pay pension plans, a non-registered supplemental final average pay pension plan and a retiree welfare plan, all of which have been closed to new members. Actuarial valuations to determine the Company’s minimum funding contributions for the registered pension plans are required at least once every three years. Deficits revealed in the funding valuation must generally be funded over a period of ten years. For 2024, the required funding for these plans is expected to be $2 . No assets are held in the non-registered supplemental pension plan. The retiree welfare plan subsidizes the cost of life insurance, medical and dental benefits. These subsidies are a fixed-dollar amount for those who retired after April 30, 2013 and have been eliminated for those who retire after 2019. No assets are held in this plan. The registered pension plans are governed by Pension Committees, while the supplemental non-registered plan is governed by the Board of Directors. The retiree welfare plan is governed by management. (b) Risks In final average pay pension plans and retiree welfare plans, the Company generally bears the material risks which include interest rate, investment, longevity and health care cost inflation risks. In defined contribution plans, these risks are typically borne by the employee. In cash balance plans, the interest rate, investment and longevity risks are partially transferred to the employee. Material sources of risk to the Company for all plans include: • A decline in discount rates that increases the defined benefit obligations by more than the change in value of plan assets; • Lower than expected rates of mortality; and • For retiree welfare plans, higher than expected health care costs. The Company has managed these risks through plan design and eligibility changes that have limited the size and growth of the defined benefit obligations. Investment risks for funded plans are managed by investing significantly in asset classes which are highly correlated with the plans’ liabilities. In the U.S., delegated committee representatives and management review the financial status of the qualified defined benefit pension plan at least monthly, and steps are taken in accordance with an established dynamic investment policy to increase the plan’s allocation to In Canada, internal committees and management review the financial status of the registered defined benefit pension plans on at least a quarterly basis. As at December 31, 2023, the target asset allocation for the plans was 17% return-seeking assets and 83% liability-hedging assets (2022 – 20% and 80%). There remains significant uncertainty related to the potential long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic (on future mortality, etc.). The Company considers recent experience when setting the long-term assumptions. Experience related to COVID-19 will continue to be closely monitored, as well as emerging research on the long-term implications of COVID-19 on mortality, inflation and other assumptions.

Investments accounted for using equity method [abstract]
Interests in Structured Entities	Note 18 Interests in Structured Entities The Company is involved with both consolidated and unconsolidated structured entities (“SEs”) which are established to generate investment and fee income. The Company is also involved with SEs that are used to facilitate financing for the Company. These entities may have some or all the following features: control is not readily identified based on voting rights; restricted activities designed to achieve a narrow objective; high amount of leverage; and/or highly structured capital. The Company only discloses its involvement in significant consolidated and unconsolidated SEs. In assessing the significance, the Company considers the nature of its involvement with the SE, including whether it is sponsored by the Company (i.e., initially organized and managed by the Company). Other factors considered include the Company’s investment in the SE as compared to total investments, its returns from the SE as compared to total net investment income, the SE’s size as compared to total funds under management, and its exposure to any other risks from its involvement with the SE. The Company does not provide financial or other support to its SEs, when it does not have a contractual obligation to do so. (a) Consolidated SEs (I) Investment SEs The Company acts as an investment manager of timberlands and timber companies. The Company’s general fund and segregated funds invest in many of these companies. The Company has control over one timberland company which it manages, Hancock Victoria Plantations Holdings PTY Limited (“HVPH”). HVPH is a SE primarily because the Company’s employees exercise voting rights over it on behalf of other investors. As at December 31, 2023, the Company’s consolidated timber assets relating to HVPH were $ (2022 – $ 1,264 ). The Company does not provide guarantees to other parties against the risk of loss from HVPH. (II) Financing SEs The Company securitizes certain HELOC collateralized by residential property. This activity is facilitated by consolidated entities that are SEs because their operations are limited to issuing and servicing the Company’s funding. Further information regarding the Company’s mortgage securitization program is included in note 4. (b) Unconsolidated SEs Investment SEs The following table presents the Company’s investments and maximum exposure to loss from significant unconsolidated investment SEs, some of which are sponsored by the Company. The Company does not provide guarantees to other parties against the risk of loss from these SEs. Company’s investment (1) Company’s maximum exposure to loss (2) As at December 31, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Leveraged leases (3) $ 3,790 $ 3,840 $ 3,790 $ 3,840 Infrastructure companies (4) 2,468 2,156 3,035 2,704 Timberland companies (5) 811 816 811 816 Real estate companies (6) 676 465 676 465 Total $ 7,745 $ 7,277 $ 8,312 $ 7,825 (1) The Company’s investments in these unconsolidated SEs are included in invested assets and the Company’s returns from them are included in net investment income and OCI. (2) The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from each SE is limited to amounts invested in each, plus unfunded capital commitments, if any. The Company’s investment commitments are disclosed in note 19. The maximum loss is expected to occur only upon the entity’s bankruptcy/liquidation. (3) These entities are statutory business trusts which use capital provided by the Company and senior debt provided by other parties to finance the acquisition of assets. These assets are leased to third-party lessees under long-term leases. The Company owns equity capital in these business trusts. The Company does not consolidate any of the trusts that are party to the lease arrangements because the Company does not have decision-making power over them. (4) These entities invest in infrastructure assets. The Company invests in their equity. The Company’s returns include investment income, investment management fees, and performance fees. The Company does not control these entities because it either does not have the power to govern their financial and operating policies or does not have significant variable returns from them, or both. (5) These entities own and operate timberlands. The Company invests in their equity and debt. The Company’s returns include investment income, investment advisory fees, forestry management fees and performance advisory fees. The Company does not control these entities because it either does not have the power to govern their financial and operating policies or does not have significant variable returns from them, or both. (6) These entities, which include the Manulife U.S. REIT, own and manage commercial real estate. The Company invests in their equity. The Company’s returns include investment income, investment management fees, property management fees, acquisition/disposition fees and leasing fees. The Company does not control these entities because it either does not have the power to govern their financial and operating policies or does not have significant variable returns from them, or both. Financing SEs The Company’s interests in and maximum exposure to loss from significant unconsolidated financing SEs are as follows. Company’s interests (1) As at December 31, 2023 2022 Manulife Finance (Delaware), L.P. (2) $ 709 $ 691 Total $ 709 $ 691 (1) The Company’s interests include amounts borrowed from the SE; the Company’s investment in its equity and subordinated capital; and foreign currency and interest rate swaps with it. (2) This entity is a wholly owned partnership used to facilitate the Company’s financing. Refer to notes 11 and 19. (I) Other invested assets The Company has investment relationships with a variety of other entities, which result from its direct investment in their debt and/or equity and which have been assessed for control. These other entities’ investments include but are not limited to investments in power and infrastructure, energy, private equity, real estate and agriculture, organized as limited partnerships and limited liability companies. Most of these other entities are not sponsored by the Company. The Company’s involvement with these other entities is not individually significant. As such, the Company neither provides summary financial data for these entities nor individually assesses whether they are SEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to losses because of its involvement with these other entities is limited to its investment in them and amounts committed to be invested but not yet funded. The Company records its income from these entities in net investment income and AOCI. The Company does not provide guarantees to other parties against the risk of loss from these other entities. (II) Interest in securitized assets The Company invests in mortgage/asset-backed securities issued by securitization vehicles sponsored by other parties, including private issuers and government sponsored issuers, to generate investment income. The Company does not own a controlling financial interest in any of the issuers. These securitization vehicles are SEs based on their narrow scope of activities and highly leveraged capital structures. Investments in mortgage/asset-backed securities are reported on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as debt securities and private placements, and their fair value and carrying value are disclosed in note 4. The Company’s maximum loss from these investments is limited to amounts invested. Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) are secured by commercial mortgages and residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) are secured by residential mortgages. Asset-backed securities (“ABS”) may be secured by various underlying assets including credit card receivables, automobile loans and aviation leases. The mortgage/asset-backed securities that the Company invests in primarily originate in North America. The following table presents investments in securitized holdings by the type and asset quality. 2023 2022 As at December 31, CMBS RMBS ABS Total Total AAA $ 425 $ 4 $ 946 $ 1,375 $ 1,770 AA – – 227 227 9 A – 3 435 438 574 BBB – – 107 107 219 BB and below – – 7 7 3 Total exposure $ 425 $ 7 $ 1,722 $ 2,154 $ 2,575 (III) Mutual funds The Company sponsors and may invest in a range of public mutual funds with a broad range of investment styles. As sponsor, the Company organizes mutual funds that implement investment strategies on behalf of current and future investors. The Company earns fees which are at market rates for providing advisory and administrative services to these mutual funds. Generally, the Company does not control its sponsored mutual funds because either the Company does not have power to govern their financial and operating policies, or its returns in the form of fees and ownership interests are not significant, or both. Certain mutual funds are SEs because their decision-making rights are not vested in voting equity interests and their investors are provided with redemption rights. The Company’s relationships with these mutual funds are not individually significant. As such, the Company neither provides summary financial data for these mutual funds nor individually assesses whether they are SEs. The Company’s interest in mutual funds is limited to its investment and fees earned, if any. The Company’s investments in mutual funds are recorded as part of its investment in public equities within the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. For information regarding the Company’s invested assets, refer to note 4. The Company does not provide guarantees to other parties against the risk of loss from these mutual funds. As sponsor, the Company’s investment in (“seed”) startup capital of mutual funds as at December 31, 2023 was $1,319 (2022 – $ 1,296 258,273

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies	12 Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies	Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies (a) Legal proceedings The Company is regularly involved in legal actions, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The legal actions where the Company is a party ordinarily relate to its activities as a provider of insurance protection or wealth management products, reinsurance, or in its capacity as an investment adviser, employer, or taxpayer. Other life insurers and asset managers, operating in the jurisdictions in which the Company does business, have been subject to a wide variety of other types of actions, some of which resulted in substantial judgments or settlements against the defendants; it is possible that the Company may become involved in similar actions in the future. In addition, government and regulatory bodies in Canada, the United States, Asia and other jurisdictions where the Company conducts business regularly make inquiries and, from time to time, require the production of information or conduct examinations concerning the Company’s compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws, and laws governing the activities of broker-dealers. In June 2018, a class action was initiated against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of owners of Performance Universal Life (“Perf UL”) policies issued between 2003 and 2010 whose policies were subject to a Cost of Insurance (“COI”) increase announced in 2018. In addition to the class action, twelve individual lawsuits opposing the Perf UL COI increases were filed; nine in federal court and three in state court. The Company has now resolved litigation with respect to % of the filed lawsuits, which represents % of the total face amount of policies in the COI-increase block. Litigation remains possible with the final approximately % of the total face amount of the COI-increase block. Subsequent to the resolution of the Perf UL COI-increase lawsuits, in September 2023 an unrelated lawsuit was initiated against the Company in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York as a putative class action on behalf of all current and former owners of universal life insurance policies issued by the Company “that state that cost of insurance rates will be based on future expectations that include taxes.” The Plaintiff’s theory is that the Company impermissibly failed to decrease the COI rates charged to these policy owners after the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2018. It is too early in the litigation to offer any reliable opinion about the scope of the class policies that may be at issue or the likely outcome.

Note 24 Information Provided in Connection with Investments in Deferred Annuity Contracts and Signature Notes Issued or Assumed by John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) The following condensed consolidated financial information, presented in accordance with IFRS, and the related disclosure have been included in these Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to JHUSA in compliance with Regulation S-X and Rule 12h-5 of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). These financial statements are incorporated by reference in certain of the MFC and its subsidiaries registration statements that are described below and relate to MFC’s guarantee of certain securities to be issued by its subsidiaries. JHUSA maintains a book of deferred annuity contracts that feature a market value adjustment, some of which are registered with the Commission. The deferred annuity contracts may contain variable investment options along with fixed investment period options, or may offer only fixed investment period options. The fixed investment period options enable the participant to invest fixed amounts of money for fixed terms at fixed interest rates, subject to a market value adjustment if the participant desires to terminate a fixed investment period before its maturity date. The annuity contract provides for the market value adjustment to keep the parties whole with respect to the fixed interest bargain for the entire fixed investment period. These fixed investment period options that contain a market value adjustment feature are referred to as “MVAs”. JHUSA has sold medium-term notes to retail investors under its Signature Effective December 31, 2009, John Hancock Variable Life Insurance Company (the “Variable Company”) and John Hancock Life Insurance Company (the “Life Company”) merged with and into JHUSA. In connection with the mergers, JHUSA assumed the Variable Company’s rights and obligations with respect to the MVAs issued by the Variable Company and the Life Company’s rights and obligations with respect to the Signature MFC fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment of JHUSA’s obligations under the MVAs and under the Signature Signature Signature Signature MFC’s guarantees of the Guaranteed Securities are unsecured obligations of MFC and are subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all other obligations of MFC, except for other guarantees or obligations of MFC which by their terms are designated as ranking equally in right of payment with or subordinate to MFC’s guarantees of the Guaranteed Securities. The laws of the State of New York govern MFC’s guarantees of the Signature Signature MFC is a holding company. MFC’s assets primarily consist of investments in its subsidiaries. MFC’s cash flows primarily consist of dividends and interest payments from its operating subsidiaries, offset by expenses and shareholder dividends and MFC stock repurchases. As a holding company, MFC’s ability to meet its cash requirements, including, but not limited to, paying any amounts due under its guarantees, substantially depends upon dividends from its operating subsidiaries. These subsidiaries are subject to certain regulatory restrictions under laws in Canada, the United States and certain other countries, which may limit their ability to pay dividends or make contributions or loans to MFC. For example, some of MFC’s subsidiaries are subject to restrictions prescribed by the ICA on their ability to declare and pay dividends. The restrictions related to dividends imposed by the ICA are described in note 1 3 In the United States, insurance laws in Michigan, New York, and Massachusetts, the jurisdictions in which certain of MFC’s U.S. insurance company subsidiaries are domiciled, impose general limitations on the payment of dividends and other upstream distributions or loans by these insurance subsidiaries. These limitations are described in note 1 3 In Asia, the insurance laws of the jurisdictions in which MFC operates either provide for specific restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions or loans by subsidiaries or impose solvency or other financial tests, which could affect the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends in certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that any current or future regulatory restrictions in Canada, the United States or Asia will not impair MFC’s ability to meet its cash requirements, including, but not limited to, paying any amounts due under its guarantees. The following condensed consolidated financial information, presented in accordance with IFRS, reflects the effects of the mergers and is provided in compliance with Regulation S-X and in accordance with Rule 12h-5 of the Commission.

Adoption of IFRS 17

Adoption of IFRS 17	12 Months Ended

Disclosure of Detailed Information About Adoption of IFRS 17 [Abstract]
Adoption of IFRS 17	Note 25 Adoption of IFRS 17 IFRS 17 Transition The Company is required to prepare an opening balance sheet as at January 1, 2022, the date of transition to IFRS 17, which forms the starting point for its financial reporting in accordance with IFRS 17. Any differences between the carrying value and the presentation of assets, liabilities and equity determined in accordance with CALM and IFRS 17, as at January 1, 2022, were recorded in opening retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income. On the transition date, January 1, 2022, the Company: • Identified, recognized, and measured each group of contracts as if IFRS 17 had always applied, unless it was impracticable (see Full Retrospective Approach and Fair Value Approach below); • Identified, recognized, and measured assets for insurance acquisition cash flows as if IFRS 17 had always applied, unless it was impracticable. However, no recoverability assessment was performed before the transition date; • Derecognized any balances that would not exist had IFRS 17 always applied; • Measured own use real estate properties that were underlying items of insurance contracts with direct participation features at fair value; and • Recognized any resulting net difference in equity. Full Retrospective Approach The Company has adopted IFRS 17 retrospectively unless the full retrospective approach was deemed impracticable. The Company has applied the full retrospective approach to most contracts issued on or after January 1, 2021, except for participating insurance contracts and variable annuity contracts for which the fair value approach was used. Fair Value Approach The Company has applied the fair value approach to all insurance contracts issued prior to January 1, 2021, as obtaining reasonable and supportable information to apply the full retrospective approach was deemed impracticable. IFRS 17 allows the use of the fair value approach for groups of insurance contracts with direct participation features if the risk mitigation option is applied prospectively from the transition date and the Company used derivatives, reinsurance contracts held, or non-derivative Under the fair value approach, the Company has determined the CSM of the GMM and VFA liabilities for remaining coverage at the transition date as the difference between the fair value of the groups of insurance contracts and the fulfilment cash flows measured at that date. In determining the fair value, the Company has applied the requirements of IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, except for the demand deposit floor requirement. The Company used the income approach to determine the fair value of the insurance contracts at the transition date, in which future cash flows are discounted to a single amount that reflects current market expectations about those future amounts. To determine groups of insurance contracts under the fair value approach the Company has aggregated contracts issued more than one year apart as it did not have reasonable and supportable information to divide groups into those including only contracts issued within one year or less. For the application of the fair value approach, the Company has used reasonable and supportable information available at the transition date in order to: • Identify groups of insurance contracts; • Determine whether an insurance contract meets the definition of an insurance contract with direct participation features; • Identify discretionary cash flows for insurance contracts without direct participation features; and • Determine whether an investment contract meets the definition of an investment contract with discretionary participation features. For insurance contracts where the fair value approach was applied, the discount rate used to determine the fair value of the group of insurance contracts was determined at the transition date. For cash flows of insurance contracts that do not vary based on the returns on underlying items, the Company determines discount rates by adjusting a liquid risk-free yield curve to reflect the differences between the liquidity characteristics of the financial instruments that underlie the rates observed in the market and the liquidity characteristics of the insurance contracts (a bottom-up Other Comprehensive Income at Transition Under IFRS 17 changes in the carrying amount of insurance contracts arising from the effect of and changes in the time value of money and in financial risk are presented as insurance finance income or expense (except for some changes for insurance contracts with direct participation features under certain circumstances). Under IFRS 17 the Company has the option to present all insurance finance income or expense in profit or loss or disaggregated between profit or loss and OCI (the “OCI option”). The Company has elected the OCI option and determined the cumulative OCI balance at transition as follows: • For some GMM and PAA groups of contracts where the fair value approach was applied, the cumulative OCI was set retrospectively only if reasonable and supportable information was available, otherwise it was set to zero at the transition date. • For GMM groups of contracts where the full retrospective approach was applied, the cumulative balance was calculated as if the Company had been applying the OCI option since inception of the contracts. • For VFA contracts, the cumulative OCI at transition was set equal to the difference between the market value and carrying value of the underlying items. Reclassification of Financial Assets for the Comparative Period of IFRS 17 Adoption Under the amendments to IFRS 17 with regard to the “Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information” (“IFRS 17 amendments”), the Company has elected the option to reclassify financial assets, including those held in respect of activities not connected to contracts within the scope of IFRS 17, on an instrument-by-instrument 273 Table of Contents The following table presents invested assets by type and measurement category as at December 31, 2021, with transitional measurement differences and presentation differences and then invested assets by type and category as at January 1, 2022.

This re-measurement The Company has elected to apply the impairment requirements of IAS 39 (incurred losses) for the comparative period as provided for under IFRS 17. Accordingly, for assets that were classified as FVTPL under IAS 39, where no impairment was required, but were reclassified to FVOCI or amortized cost under IFRS 9 for the comparative period, the Company calculated.

Reporting entity	(a) Reporting entity Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”) is a publicly traded company and the holding company of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (“MLI”), a Canadian life insurance company. MFC, including its subsidiaries (collectively, “Manulife” or the “Company”) is a leading financial services group with principal operations in Asia, Canada and the United States. Manulife’s international network of employees, agents and distribution partners offers financial protection and wealth management products and services to personal and business clients as well as asset management services to institutional customers. The Company operates as Manulife in Asia and Canada and as John Hancock and Manulife in the United States. MFC is domiciled in Canada and incorporated under the Insurance Companies Act (Canada) (“ICA”). These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023 were authorized for issue by MFC’s Board of Directors on February 14, 2024.
Basis of preparation	(b) Basis of preparation The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of insurance service, investment result, and other revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant estimation processes relate to evaluating assumptions used in measuring insurance and investment contract liabilities and reinsurance contracts held liabilities, assessing assets for impairment, determining pension and other post-employment benefit obligation and expense assumptions, determining income taxes and uncertain tax positions, and estimating fair values of certain invested assets. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes that the amounts recorded are appropriate. The material accounting policies used and the most significant judgments made by management in applying these accounting policies in the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements are summarized below. The Company’s results and operations have been and may continue to be adversely impacted by the economic environment. The adverse effects include but are not limited to recessionary economic trends in markets the Company operates in, significant market volatility, increase in credit risk, strain on commodity markets and alternative long duration asset (“ALDA”) prices, foreign currency exchange rate volatility, increases in insurance claims, persistency and redemptions, and disruption of business operations. The breadth and depth of these events and their duration contribute additional uncertainty around estimates used in determining the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities included in these Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has applied appropriate measurement techniques using reasonable judgment and estimates from the perspective of a market participant to reflect current economic conditions. The impact of these techniques has been reflected in these Consolidated Financial Statements. Changes in the inputs used could materially impact the respective carrying values.
Fair value measurement	(c) Fair value measurement Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (not a forced liquidation or distress sale) between market participants at the measurement date; fair value is an exit value. When available, quoted market prices are used to determine fair value. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is typically based upon alternative valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, matrix pricing, consensus pricing services and other techniques. Broker quotes are generally used when external public vendor prices are not available. The Company has a valuation process in place that includes a review of price movements relative to the market, a comparison of prices between vendors, and a comparison to internal matrix pricing which uses predominantly external observable data. Judgment is applied in adjusting external observable data for items including liquidity and credit factors. The Company categorizes its fair value measurement results according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Company’s valuation techniques based on their reliability. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 – Fair value measurements that reflect unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date, reflecting market transactions. Level 2 – Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in inactive markets, inputs that are observable that are not prices (such as interest rates, credit risks, etc.) and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Most debt investments are classified within Level 2. Also, included in the Level 2 category are derivative instruments that are priced using models with observable market inputs, including interest rate swaps, equity swaps, credit default swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. Level 3 – Fair value measurements using significant non-market
Basis of consolidation	(d) Basis of consolidation MFC consolidates the financial statements of all entities it controls, including certain structured entities. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company has control over an entity when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity and is exposed to variable returns from its activities which are significant in relation to the total variable returns of the entity and the Company is able to use its power over the entity to affect the Company’s share of variable returns of the entity. In assessing control, significant judgment is applied while considering all relevant facts and circumstances. When assessing decision making power over an entity, the Company considers the extent of its rights relative to the management of the entity, the level of voting rights held over the entity which are potentially or presently exercisable, the existence of any contractual management agreements which may provide the Company with power over the entity’s financial and operating policies, and to the extent of other parties’ ownership in the entity, if any, the possibility for de facto control being present. When assessing variable returns from an entity, the Company considers the significance of direct and indirect financial and non-financial The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in MFC’s consolidated results from the date control is established and are excluded from consolidation from the date control ceases. The initial control assessment is performed at inception of the Company’s involvement with the entity and is reconsidered if the Company acquires or loses power over key operating and financial policies of the entity; acquires additional interests or disposes of interests in the entity; the contractual arrangements of the entity are amended such that the Company’s proportionate exposure to variable returns changes; or if the Company’s ability to use its power to affect its variable returns from the entity changes. A change in control may lead to gains or losses on derecognition of a subsidiary when losing control, or on derecognition of previous interests in a subsidiary when gaining control. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Intercompany balances, and revenue and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, have been eliminated in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. Non-controlling Non-controlling The equity method of accounting is used to account for entities over which the Company has significant influence or joint control (“associates” or “joint ventures”), whereby the Company records its share of the associate’s or joint venture’s net assets and financial results using uniform accounting policies for similar transactions and events. Significant judgment is used to determine whether voting rights, contractual management rights and other relationships with the entity, if any, provide the Company with significant influence or joint control over the entity. Gains and losses on the sale of associates or joint ventures are included in income when realized, while impairment losses are recognized immediately when there is objective evidence of impairment. Gains and losses on commercial transactions with associates or joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the equity of the associate or joint venture. Investments in associates and joint ventures are included in other invested assets on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
Invested assets	(e) Invested assets Invested assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of investments not classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), directly attributable transaction costs. Invested assets that are considered financial instruments are classified as fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), FVTPL or as amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of invested assets which are financial instruments depends on their contractual terms and the Company’s business model for managing the assets. The Company assesses the contractual terms of the assets to determine whether their terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”) on the principal amount outstanding. Only debt instruments may have SPPI cash flows. The most significant elements of interest within a lending arrangement are typically the consideration for the time value of money and credit risk. To make the SPPI assessment, the Company applies judgement and considers relevant factors such as prepayment and redemption rights, conversion features, and subordination of the instrument to other instruments of the issuer. An asset with contractual terms that introduce a more than de minimis exposure to risks of not collecting principal or interest would not meet the SPPI test. Debt instruments which qualify as having SPPI cash flows are classified as amortized cost or FVOCI based on the business model under which they are held. If held within a business model whose objective is to hold the assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, they are classified as amortized cost. If held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the assets, they are classified as FVOCI. In either case, the Company may designate them as FVTPL in order to reduce accounting mismatches with FVTPL liabilities they support. Debt instruments which fail the SPPI test are required to be measured at FVTPL. To identify the business model financial assets are held within, considerations include the business purpose of the portfolio they are held within, the risks that are being managed and the business activities which manage the risks, the basis on which performance of the portfolio is being evaluated, and the frequency and significance of sales activity within the portfolio.  Realized and unrealized gains and losses on debt instruments classified as FVTPL and realized gains and losses on debt instruments held at FVOCI or amortized cost are recognized in investment income immediately. Unrealized gains and losses on FVOCI debt investments are recorded in OCI, except for unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation which are included in income. Investments in equities which are accounted for as financial instruments are not subject to the SPPI test and are accounted for as FVTPL. Valuation methods for the Company’s invested assets are described above in note 1 (c). All fair value valuations are performed in accordance with IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”. Disclosure of financial instruments carried at fair value within the three levels of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the fair value for financial instruments not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are presented in note 4. Fair value valuations are performed by the Company and by third-party service providers. When third-party service providers are engaged, the Company performs a variety of procedures to corroborate pricing information. These procedures may include, but are not limited to, inquiry and review of valuation techniques, and of inputs to the valuation and vendor controls reports. Cash and short-term securities comprise cash, current operating accounts, overnight bank and term deposits, and debt instruments held for meeting short-term cash commitments. Short-term securities are carried at fair value. Short-term securities comprise investments due to mature within one year of the date of purchase. Commercial paper and discount notes are classified as Level 2 for fair value purposes because these instruments are typically not actively traded. Net payments in transit and overdraft bank balances are included in other liabilities. Debt s Public equities comprise of common and preferred equities and shares or units of mutual funds and are carried at fair value. Public equities are generally classified as Level 1, as fair values are normally based on quoted market prices. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on equities designated as FVTPL are recognized in investment income immediately. The Company’s risk management policies and procedures related to equities can be found in the denoted components of the “Risk Management and Risk Factors” section of the Company’s 2023 Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”). Mortgages are classified as Level 3 for fair value purposes due to the lack of market observability of certain significant valuation inputs. The Company accounts for insured and uninsured mortgage securitizations as secured financing transactions since the criteria for sale accounting of securitized mortgages are not met. For these transactions, the Company continues to recognize the mortgages and records a liability in other liabilities for the amounts owed at maturity. Interest income from these mortgages and interest expense on the borrowings are recorded using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method. Private placements, which include corporate loans for which there is no active market, are generally classified as Level 2 for fair value disclosure purposes or as Level 3 if significant inputs are not Loans to Manulife Bank of Canada (“Manulife Bank” or “Bank”) clients are carried at amortized cost and are classified as Level 2 for fair value disclosure purposes. Interest income is recognized on all debt instruments including securities, private placements, mortgages, and loans to Bank clients as it accrues and is calculated using the EIR method. Premiums, discounts and transaction costs are amortized over the life of the underlying investment using the effective yield method for all debt securities as well as private placements and mortgages. The Company records purchases and sales of invested assets on a trade date basis. Loans originated by the Company are recognized on a settlement date basis. Real estate consists of both own use and investment property. Own use property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, or at revalued amount which is the fair value as at the most recent revaluation date minus accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated based on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life ranging from 30 to 60 years. Impairment losses are recorded in income to the extent the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount. Own use property is classified as Level 3 for fair value disclosure purposes. Own use real estate properties which are underlying items for insurance contracts with direct participating features are measured at fair value as if they were investment properties, as permitted by IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” which was amended by IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” (“IFRS 17”). An investment property is a property held to earn rental income, for capital appreciation, or both. Investment properties are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in income. Fair value of own use properties and investment properties is determined using the same processes. Fair value for all properties is determined using external appraisals that are based on the highest and best use of the property. The valuation techniques include discounted cash flows, the direct capitalization method as well as comparable sales analysis and employ both observable and non-market When a property transfers from own use held at cost to investment property, any gain or loss arising on the re-measurement of the property and any associated leases to fair value as at the date of change in use is recognized in OCI, to the extent that it is not reversing a previous impairment loss. Reversals of impairment losses are recognized in income. When a property changes from investment property to own use held at cost, the property’s deemed cost for subsequent accounting is its fair value as at the date of change in use. Other invested assets include private equity investments and property investments held in infrastructure, timber, agriculture and energy sectors. Private equity investments are accounted for as associates or joint ventures using the equity method (as described in note 1 (d) above) or are classified as FVTPL and carried at fair value. Timber and agriculture properties which are own use properties are carried at cost except for their biological assets which are measured at fair value. Timber and agriculture properties which are investment properties are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in income. The fair value of other invested assets is determined using a variety of valuation techniques as described in note 4. Other invested assets that are measured or disclosed at fair value are classified as Level 3. Other invested assets also include investments in leveraged leases, which are accounted for using the equity method. The carrying value under the equity method reflects the amortized cost of the lease receivable and related non-recourse Expected Credit Loss Impairment The expected credit loss (“ECL”) impairment allowance model applies to invested assets which are debt instruments and measured at FVOCI or amortized cost. ECL allowances are measured under four probability-weighted macroeconomic scenarios, which measure the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original EIR. This process includes consideration of past events, current market conditions and reasonable supportable information about future economic conditions. Forward-looking macroeconomic variables used within the estimation models represent variables that are the most closely related with credit losses in the relevant portfolio. The estimation and measurement of impairment losses requires significant judgement. These estimates are driven by many elements, changes in which can result in different levels of allowances. Elements include the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows, the Company’s criteria for assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk (“SICR”), the selection of forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios and their probability weights, the application of expert credit judgment in the development of the models, inputs and, when applicable, overlay adjustments. It is the Company’s practice to regularly review its models in the context of actual loss experience and adjust when necessary. The Company has implemented formal policies, procedures, and controls over all significant impairment processes. The Company’s definitions of default and credit-impaired are based on quantitative and qualitative factors. A financial instrument is considered to be in default when significant payments of interest, principal or fees are past due for more than 90 days, unless remedial arrangements with the issuer are in place. A financial instrument may be credit-impaired as a result of one or more loss events that occurred after the date of initial recognition of the instrument and the loss event has a negative impact on the estimated future cash flows of the instrument. This includes events that indicate or include: significant financial difficulty of the counterparty; a breach of contract; for economic or contractual reasons relating to the counterparty’s financial difficulty, concessions are granted that would not otherwise be considered; it is becoming probable that the counterparty will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of the counterparty’s financial difficulties; or the counterparty is considered to be in default by any of the major rating agencies such as S&P, Moody’s and Fitch. The ECL calculations include the following elements: • Probability of default (“PD”) is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. • Loss given default (“LGD”), is an estimate of the loss arising on a future default. This is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the Company expects to receive, including from collateral. It is based on credit default studies performed based on internal credit experience. • Exposure at default (“EAD”), is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, considering both the period of exposure and the amount of exposure at a given reporting date. The EADs are determined by modelling the range of possible exposure outcomes at various points in time, corresponding to the multiple economic scenarios. The probabilities are then assigned to each economic scenario based on the outcome of the models. The Company measures ECLs using a three-stage approach: • Stage 1 comprise all performing financial instruments that have not experienced a SICR since initial recognition. The determination of SICR varies by instrument and considers the relative change in the risk of default since origination. 12-month 12-month 12-month • Stage 2 comprise all performing financial instruments that have experienced a SICR since original recognition or have become 30 days in arrears for principal or interest payments, whichever happens first. When assets move to Stage 2, full lifetime ECLs are recognized, which represent ECLs that result from all possible default events over the remaining lifetime of the financial instrument. The mechanics are consistent with Stage 1, except PDs and LGDs are estimated over the remaining lifetime of the instrument instead of over the coming year. In subsequent reporting periods, if the credit risk of a financial instrument improves such that there is no longer a SICR compared to credit risk at initial recognition, the financial instrument will migrate back to Stage 1 and 12-month • Stage 3 comprise financial instruments identified as credit-impaired. Similar to Stage 2 assets, full lifetime ECLs are recognized for Stage 3 financial instruments, but the PD is set at 100%. A Stage 3 ECL is calculated using the unpaid principal balance multiplied by LGD which reflects the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and its discounted expected future cash flows. Interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount for both Stage 1 and 2 exposures. Interest income on Stage 3 financial instruments is determined by applying the EIR to the amortized cost of the instrument, which represents the gross carrying amount adjusted for the credit loss allowance. For Stage 1 and Stage 2 exposures, an ECL is generated for each individual exposure; however, the relevant parameters are modelled on a collective basis with all collective parameters captured by the individual security level. The exposures are grouped into smaller homogeneous portfolios, based on a combination of internal and external characteristics, such as origination details, balance history, sector, geographic location, and credit history. Stage 3 ECLs are either individually or collectively assessed, depending on the nature of the instrument and impairment. In assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly, the risk of default occurring is compared over the remaining expected life from the reporting date and as at the date of initial recognition. The assessment varies by instrument and risk segment. The assessment incorporates internal credit risk ratings and a combination of security-specific and portfolio-level assessments, including the incorporation of forward-looking macroeconomic data. The assessment of SICR considers both absolute and relative thresholds. If contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, the credit risk is automatically deemed to have increased significantly since initial recognition. When estimating ECLs, the four probability-weighted macroeconomic scenarios are considered. Economic forward-looking inputs vary by market. Depending on their usage in the models, macroeconomic inputs are projected at the country, province, or more granular level. Each macroeconomic scenario used includes a projection of all relevant macroeconomic variables for a five-year period, subsequently reverting to long-run The inputs and models used for calculating ECLs may not always capture all characteristics of the market at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Changes in the required ECL allowance are recorded in the provision for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Invested assets are written off, either partially or in full, against the related allowance for credit losses when there is no realistic prospect of recovery in respect of those amounts. This is considered a partial or full derecognition of the financial asset. In subsequent periods, any recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the provision for credit losses.
Goodwill and intangible assets	(f) Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill represents the difference between the fair value of purchase consideration of an acquired business and the Company’s proportionate share of the net identifiable assets acquired. It is initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable at the cash generating unit (“CGU”) or group of CGUs level. The Company allocates goodwill to CGUs or group of CGUs for impairment testing at the lowest level within the Company where the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The allocation is made to those CGUs or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. Any potential impairment of goodwill is identified by comparing the recoverable amount with the carrying value of a CGU or group of CGUs. Goodwill is reduced by the amount of deficiency, if any. If the deficiency exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill, the carrying values of the remaining assets in the CGU or group of CGUs are subject to being reduced by the remaining deficiency on a pro-rata The recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is the higher of the estimated fair value less costs to sell or the value-in-use value-in-use, pre-tax Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives include the John Hancock brand name, certain investment management contracts and certain agricultural water rights. The indefinite useful life assessment for the John Hancock brand name is based on the brand name being protected by indefinitely renewable trademarks in markets where branded products are sold, and for certain investment management contracts based on the ability to renew these contracts indefinitely. In addition, there are no legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that limit the useful lives of these intangible assets. Certain agricultural water rights are held in perpetuity. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test which is performed more frequently if an indication that it is not recoverable arises. Intangible assets with finite useful lives include acquired distribution networks, customer relationships, capitalized software, and certain investment management contracts and other contractual rights. Distribution networks, customer relationships, and other finite life intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, six three
Miscellaneous assets	(g) Miscellaneous assets Miscellaneous assets include assets held in a rabbi trust with respect to unfunded defined benefit obligations, defined benefit assets and capital assets. Rabbi trust assets are carried at fair value. Defined benefit assets carrying value is explained in note 1 (o). Capital assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization computed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which vary from two
Segregated funds	(h) Segregated funds The Company manages segregated funds on behalf of policyholders, which are presented as segregated funds net assets with offsetting insurance and investment contract liabilities for account of segregated fund holders in the amount of their account balances. The investment returns on these funds are passed directly to policyholders. In some cases, the Company has provided guarantees associated with these funds. Amounts invested by the Company in segregated funds for seed purposes are presented within invested asset categories based on the nature of the underlying investments. Segregated funds net assets are measured at fair value and include investments in mutual funds, debt securities, equities, cash, short-term investments and other investments. With respect to the consolidation requirement of IFRS, in assessing the Company’s degree of control over the underlying investments, the Company considers the scope of its decision-making rights, the rights held by other parties, its remuneration as an investment manager and its exposure to variability of returns from the investments. The Company has determined that it does not have control over the underlying investments as it acts as an agent on behalf of segregated fund policyholders. The methodology applied to determine the fair value of investments held in segregated funds is consistent with that applied to invested assets held by the general fund, as described above in note 1 (e). Segregated funds liabilities are measured based on the value of the segregated funds net assets. Investment returns on segregated funds assets are passed directly to policyholders and the Company does not bear the risk associated with these assets outside of guarantees offered on certain variable life and annuity products, for which the underlying investments are held within segregated funds. Some of the Company’s liabilities for account of segregated fund holders arise from insurance contracts that it issues. These are reported as Insurance contract liabilities for account of segregated fund holders, representing the Company’s obligation to pay the policyholder an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying items, and are measured at the aggregate of policyholder account balances. Changes in fair value of these liabilities are reported as Financial changes related to insurance and investment contract liabilities for account of segregated fund holders in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Other liabilities associated with these insurance contracts, such as those associated with guarantees provided by the Company as a result of certain variable life and annuity contracts, are included in Insurance contract assets or Insurance contract liabilities, excluding those for account of segregated fund holders on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company holds assets supporting these guarantees in the general fund, which are included in invested assets according to their investment type. The remaining liabilities for account of segregated fund holders do not arise from insurance contracts that the Company issues, and are reported as Investment contract liabilities for account of segregated fund holders on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. These are also measured at the aggregate of policyholder account balances and changes in fair value of these liabilities are reported as Financial changes related to insurance and investment contract liabilities for account of segregated fund holders in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Insurance contract liabilities and reinsurance contract assets	(i) Insurance contract liabilities and reinsurance contract assets Scope and Classification Contracts issued by the Company are classified as insurance, investment, or service contracts at initial recognition. Insurance contracts are contracts under which the Company accepts significant insurance risk from a policyholder. A contract is considered to have significant insurance risk if an insured event could cause the Company to pay significant additional amounts in any single scenario with commercial substance. The additional amounts refer to the present value of amounts that exceed those that would be payable if no insured event had occurred. Reinsurance contracts held are contracts held by the Company under which it transfers significant insurance risk related to underlying insurance contracts to other parties, along with the associated premiums. The purpose of the reinsurance contracts held is to mitigate the significant insurance risk that the Company may have from the underlying insurance contracts. Both insurance and reinsurance contracts are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 17. Contracts under which the Company does not accept significant insurance risk are either classified as investment contracts or considered as service contracts and are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”) or IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“IFRS 15”), respectively. Insurance contracts are classified as direct participation contracts or contracts without direct participation features based on specific criteria. Insurance contracts with direct participation features are insurance contracts that are substantially investment-related service contracts under which the Company promises an investment return based on underlying items. They are viewed as creating an obligation to pay policyholders an amount that is equal to the fair value of the underlying items, less a variable fee for service. Separation of components At inception of insurance and reinsurance contracts held, the Company analyses whether they contain the following components that are separated and accounted for under other IFRS standards: • Derivatives embedded within insurance contracts which contains risks and characteristics that are not closely related to those of the host contract, unless the embedded derivative itself meets the definition of an insurance contract; • Distinct investment components which represent cash flows paid (received) in all circumstances regardless of whether an insured event has occurred or not. Investment components are distinct if they are not highly interrelated with insurance component cash flows and if they could be issued on a standalone basis; and • Distinct service components which are promises to transfer goods or non-insurance The Company applies IFRS 17 to all remaining components of the insurance and reinsurance contracts held. Level of aggregation Insurance contracts are aggregated into portfolios of insurance contracts which are managed together and are subject to similar risks. The Company has defined portfolios by considering various factors such as the issuing subsidiary, measurement model, major product line and type of insurance risk. The portfolios of insurance contracts are further grouped by: • Date of issue: the period cannot be longer than one year. Most of the Company’s insurance contracts are aggregated into annual cohorts; and • Expected profitability at inception into one of three categories: onerous contracts, contracts with no significant risk of becoming onerous and other remaining contracts. Onerous contracts are those contracts that at initial inception, the Company expects to generate net outflow, without considering investment returns or the benefit of any reinsurance contracts held. The Company establishes the groups at initial recognition and may add contracts to the groups after the end of a reporting period, however, the Company does not subsequently reassess the composition of the groups. For reinsurance contracts held, the portfolios align with the direct insurance contract portfolios. Groups of reinsurance contracts typically comprise a single reinsurance contract, and similar to direct groups they do not contain contracts issued more than one year apart. Cash flows within the contract boundaries The Company includes in the measurement of a group of insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts held, all future cash flows within the boundary of the contracts in the group. Cash flows are within the boundary of an insurance contract (and a reinsurance contract held) if they arise from substantive rights and obligations that exist in which the Company can compel the policyholder to pay the premiums (or is compelled to pay amounts to a reinsurer) or has a substantive obligation to provide services to policyholder (or a substantive right to receive services from a reinsurer). For insurance contracts, a substantive obligation to provide services ends when the Company has the practical ability to reassess the risks and as a result, can set a new price or level of benefits that fully reflects those risks. For reinsurance contracts held, a substantive right to receive services ends when the reinsurer has the practical ability to reassess the risk transferred to it and can set a new price or level of benefits that fully reflects those risks, or the reinsurer can terminate the coverage. Measurement models There are three measurement models for insurance contracts: • Variable fee approach (“VFA”): The Company applies this approach to insurance contracts with direct participation features such as participating life insurance contracts, unit linked contracts, and variable annuity contracts. The direct participating feature is identified at inception, where the Company has the obligation to pay the policyholder an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying items less a variable fee in exchange for investment services provided. • Premium allocation approach (“PAA”): The Company applies this simplified approach for certain insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts with duration of typically one year or less, such as Canadian Group Benefit products, some Canadian Affinity products, and some Asia short-term individual and group products. • General measurement model (“GMM”): The Company applies this model to the remaining insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts not measured using the VFA or the PAA. Recognition of insurance contracts The Company recognizes groups of insurance contracts that it issues from the earliest of the following: • The beginning of the coverage period of the group of contracts, • The date when the first payment from a policyholder in the group is due or when the first payment is received if there is no due date, and • For a group of onerous contracts, as soon as facts and circumstances indicate that the group is onerous. Insurance contracts measured under the GMM and VFA measurement model Initial measurement The measurement of insurance contracts at initial recognition is the same for GMM or VFA. At initial recognition, the Company measures a group of insurance contracts as the total of: (a) fulfilment cash flows, and (b) a contractual service margin (“CSM”). Fulfilment cash flows comprise estimates of future cash flows, adjusted to reflect the time value of money and financial risks, and a risk adjustment for non-financial If fulfilment cash flows generate a total of net cash inflows at initial recognition, a CSM is set up to fully offset the fulfilment cash flows, and results in no impact on income at initial recognition. The CSM represents the unearned profit the Company will recognize as it provides services under the insurance contracts. However, if fulfilment cash flows generate a total of net cash outflows at initial recognition, a loss is recognized in income or expenses immediately and the group of contracts is considered to be onerous. For Contracts with fulfillment cash flows in multiple foreign currencies the group of insurance contracts, including the contractual service margin, is considered to be denominated in a single currency. If a group of insurance contracts has cash flows in more than one currency, on initial recognition the company determines a single currency in which the multicurrency group of contracts is denominated. The Company determines the single currency to be the currency of the predominant cash flows. The unit of account for CSM or loss is on a group of contracts basis consistent with the level of aggregation specified above. Subsequent measurement of fulfilment cash flows The fulfilment cash flows at each reporting date are measured using the current estimates of expected cash flows and current discount rates. In the subsequent periods, the carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at each reporting date is the sum of: • The liability for remaining coverage (“LRC”), which comprise the fulfilment cash flows that relate to services to be provided in the future and any remaining CSM at that date; and • The liability for incurred claims (“LIC”), which comprise the fulfilment cash flows for incurred claims and expenses that have not yet been paid. For onerous contracts, the LRC is further divided into a loss component, which represents the remaining net outflow for the group of insurance contracts; and the LRC excluding the loss component, which represents the amount of liability with offsetting inflows. Premiums received increases the LRC. Where a third-party administrator is involved in the collection and remittance of premiums, amounts receivable from the third-party are included in the measurement of insurance contract liabilities until actual cash is remitted to the Company. Subsequent measurement of the CSM under the GMM measurement model For contracts without direct participation features, when applying the GMM measurement model, the carrying amount of the CSM at end of the reporting period is adjusted to reflect the following changes: (a) effect of new contracts added to the group; (b) interest accreted on the carrying amount of CSM, measured at the locked-in locked-in 12-month bottom-up (c) changes in fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services such as: • Experience differences between actual and expected premiums and related cash flows at the beginning of the period measured at the locked-in rate. • Non-financial • Changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial • Differences between actual and expected investment component that becomes payable in the period. The same applies to a policyholder loan that becomes repayable; (d) effect of any currency exchange differences on the CSM; (e) CSM amortization, which is the recognition of unearned profit into insurance revenue for services provided in the period. The CSM is recognized into insurance revenue over the duration of the group of insurance contracts based on the respective coverage units as insurance services are provided. The number of coverage units is the quantity of services provided by the contracts in the group, determined by considering the quantity of benefits provided and its expected coverage period. The coverage units are reviewed and updated at each reporting date. The Company allocates the CSM equally to each coverage unit and recognizes the amount allocated to coverage units provided and expected to be provided in each period. When measuring the fulfilment cash flows, changes that relate to future services are measured using the current discount rate, however, the CSM is adjusted for these changes using the locked-in rate at initial recognition. The application of the two different discount rates gives rise to a gain or loss that is recognized as part of insurance finance income or expense. Subsequent measurement of the CSM under the VFA measurement model For contracts with direct participation features applying the VFA measurement model, subsequent measurement of the CSM is similar to the GMM model with the following exceptions or modifications: For changes in fulfillment cash flows that do not vary with the underlying items: • Non-financial • Changes in the effect of the time value of money and financial risks such as the effect of financial guarantees adjust the CSM, however, income or expenses would be impacted if the risk mitigation option is elected. For changes in fulfillment cash flows that vary with the fair value of the underlying items: • Changes in the shareholders’ share adjust the CSM, however, income or expenses would be impacted if the risk mitigation option is elected, • Changes in the policyholders’ share are recognized in income or expenses or OCI. The Company uses derivatives, non-derivative Groups of GMM or VFA insurance contracts with a CSM at initial recognition can subsequently become onerous when increases in fulfilment cash flows that do not vary with the underlying items or declines in the shareholder’s share of the underlying items exceed the carrying amount of the CSM. The excess establishes a loss which is recognized in income or expenses immediately, and the LRC is then divided into the loss component and the LRC excluding the loss component. Subsequent measurement of the loss component The loss component represents the net outflow attributable to each group of onerous insurance contracts (or contracts profitable at inception that have subsequently become onerous), any subsequent decrease relating to future service in estimates of future cash flows and risk adjustment for non-financial When actual cash flows are incurred, the LIC is recognized and the LRC is derecognized accordingly. The Company uses the proportion on initial recognition to determine the systematic allocation of LRC release between the loss component and the LRC excluding the loss component, resulting in both components being equal to zero by the end of the coverage period. Insurance contracts measured under the PAA measurement The Company applies the PAA to all insurance contracts it issues if the coverage period of the contract is one year or less; or the coverage period is longer than one year and the measurement of the LRC for the contracts under the PAA does not differ materially from the measurement that would be produced applying the GMM approach under possible future scenarios. The LRC is initially measured as the premium received at initial recognition minus any insurance acquisition cash flows at that date. There is generally no allowance for the time value of money as the premiums are mostly received within one year of the coverage period. For acquisition cash flows allocated to recognized groups of contracts applying the PAA, the Company is permitted to defer and amortize the amount over the coverage period or recognize the amount as an expense as incurred provided that the coverage period of the contracts in the group is no more than one year. This election can be made at the level of each group of insurance contracts. For the majority of the Company’s insurance contracts applying the PAA, such as Canadian Group Benefit products, some Canadian Affinity products, and some Asia short term individual and group products, the Company has elected to defer directly attributable acquisition costs and recognize in net income over the coverage period in a systematic way based on the passage of time. In these lines of business, directly attributable insurance acquisition cash flows paid are to acquire the current contract with an expectation of a number of renewals over future years. As such, directly attributable insurance acquisition cash flows are allocated to the group in which the current contract belongs to as well as to future groups that will include expected renewals applying a systematic methodology. If facts and circumstances indicate that there are onerous group of contracts at initial measurement, a loss is immediately recognized in the income or expenses for the net outflow and a loss component of the LRC is created for the group. Subsequent measurement Subsequently, the Company measures the carrying amount of the LRC at the end of each reporting period as: • The LRC at beginning of the period; plus • Premium received in the period; minus • Directly attributable acquisition costs net of related amortization (unless expensed as incurred); minus • Amount recognized as insurance revenue for the period; minus • Investment component paid or transferred to the LIC. The amount recognized as insurance revenue for the period is typically based on the passage of time. For the Company’s property & casualty reinsurance business, the expected pattern of release of risk during the coverage period differs significantly from the passage of time and as such the amount recognized as insurance revenue is on the basis of the expected timing of incurred service expenses. If at any time during the coverage period, facts and circumstances indicate that a group of contracts is onerous, the Company will recognize a loss in income or expenses and an increase in the LRC to the extent that the current estimate of the fulfilment cash flows that relate to remaining coverage (including the risk adjustment for non-financial The Company estimates the LIC as the fulfilment cash flows related to incurred claims. The Company does not adjust the future cash flows for the time value of money, except when claims are expected to settle more than one year after the actual claim occurs. Assets for insurance acquisition cash flows Insurance acquisition cash flows arise from the costs of selling, underwriting and starting a group of insurance contracts (issued or expected to be issued) that are directly attributable to the portfolio of insurance contracts to which the group belongs. Insurance acquisition cash flows paid or incurred before the recognition of the related group of contracts are recognized as an asset within the portfolio of insurance contract liabilities in which the group of contracts is expected to be included. The Company applies a systematic basis to allocate these costs which includes: • Insurance acquisition cash flows directly attributable to a group of contracts that will include future expected renewals of in-force • Insurance acquisition cash flows directly attributable to a portfolio of insurance contracts, which will include future new business. When facts and circumstances indicate the assets for insurance acquisition cash flows might be impaired, the Company conducts impairment tests. If an asset is impaired, an impairment loss will be recognized in income or expenses, which can be subsequently reversed when the impairment condition no longer exists. Recognition of reinsurance contracts held The Company recognizes a group of reinsurance contracts held from the earliest of the following: • The beginning of the coverage period of the group of reinsurance contracts held. However, the Company delays the recognition of a group of reinsurance contracts held that provide proportionate coverage until the date when any underlying insurance contract is initially recognized, if that date is later than the beginning of the coverage period of the group of reinsurance contracts held, and • The date the Company recognizes an onerous group of underlying insurance contracts if the Company entered into the related reinsurance contract held in the group of reinsurance contracts held at or before that date. Reinsurance contracts held measured under the GMM model Initial measurement The measurement of reinsurance contracts held follows the same principles as the GMM for insurance contracts issued, with the following exceptions or modifications specified in this section below. Reinsurance contracts held and assumed cannot use the VFA measurement model. At initial recognition, the Company recognizes any net gain or net cost as a CSM in the consolidated statement of financial position, with some exceptions. If any net cost of obtaining reinsurance contracts held relates to insured events that occurred before initial recognition of any insurance contracts, it is recognized immediately in income or expenses. In addition, if the underlying insurance contracts are in an onerous position, the Company is required to recognize a reinsurance gain immediately in income for the portion of claims that the Company expects to recover from the reinsurance, if the reinsurance contract held was entered into prior to or at the same time as the onerous contracts. For contracts with fulfilment cash flows in multiple foreign currencies, the group is denominated in a single currency as defined by the predominant cash flows. Measurement of reinsurance contract cash flows is consistent with the underlying insurance contracts, but with an adjustment for any risk of non-performance non-financial Subsequent measurement Subsequently, the carrying amount of a group of reinsurance contracts held at each reporting date is the sum of: • The asset for remaining coverage (“ARC”), which comprise the fulfilment cash flows that relate to services to be received under the contracts in future periods, and any remaining CSM at that date; and • The asset for incurred claims (“AIC”), which comprise the fulfilment cash flows for incurred claims and expenses that have not yet been received. If the underlying insurance contracts are onerous at inception and a reinsurance gain is recognized in income as described above, the asset for remaining coverage is made up of a loss-recovery component and the ARC excluding the loss-recovery component. The loss-recovery component reflects changes in the loss component of the underlying onerous insurance contracts and determines the amounts that are subsequently presented in income or expenses as reversals of recoveries of losses from the reinsurance contracts held and are excluded from the allocation of reinsurance premiums paid. The Company adjusts the carrying amount of the CSM of a group of reinsurance contracts held to reflect changes in the fulfillment cash flows applying the same approach as for insurance contracts issued, except: • Income recognized to cover the losses from onerous underlying contracts also adjusts the carrying amount of CSM; • Reversals of the loss-recovery component, to the extent that those reversals are not changes in fulfilment cash flows of the group of reinsurance contract held, also adjusts the carrying amount of CSM; and • Changes in fulfilment cash flows related to future services also adjusts the carrying amount of CSM provided that changes in fulfillment cash flows related to the group of underlying insurance contracts also adjust the CSM. Where a loss component has been set up subsequent to initial recognition of a group of underlying insurance contracts, the reinsurance gain that has been recognized adjusts the loss-recovery component of the reinsurance asset for remaining coverage. The carrying amount of the loss-recovery component must not exceed the portion of the carrying amount of the loss component of the onerous group of underlying insurance contracts that the Company expects to recover from the group of reinsurance contracts. On this basis, the loss-recovery component is reduced to zero when the loss component of underlying insurance contracts is reduced to zero. Reinsurance contracts held measured under the PAA model Reinsurance contracts held may be classified and measured under the PAA model if they meet the eligibility requirements, which are similar to the PAA requirements for direct insurance contracts. For reinsurance contracts held applying the PAA model, the Company measures them on the same basis as insurance contracts that it issues, adapted to reflect the features of reinsurance contracts held that differ from insurance contracts issued. If a loss-recovery is created for a group of reinsurance contracts measured under the PAA, the Company adjusts the carrying amount of the ARC as there is no CSM to adjust under PAA. Derecognition of insurance contracts The Company derecognizes insurance contracts when the rights and obligations relating to the contract are extinguished (i.e., discharged, cancelled; or expired) or the contract is modified such that the modification results in a change in the measurement model, or the applicable standard for measuring a component of the contract. In the case of modification, the Company derecognizes the initial contract and recognizes the modified contract as a new contract. Presentation and Disclosure The Company has presented the carrying amount of portfolios of insurance contracts that are in a net asset or liability position, and portfolios of reinsurance contracts that are in a net asset or liability position separately in the consolidated statements of financial position. The Company separately presents the insurance service result, which comprise insurance revenue and insurance service expenses, from the investment result, which comprise insurance finance income or expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. IFRS 17 provides an option to disaggregate the changes in risk adjustment between insurance service results and insurance finance income. The Company disaggregates the change in risk adjustment for non-financial Net insurance service result The insurance revenue depicts the performance of insurance services and excludes investment components. For the GMM and the VFA contracts, the insurance revenue represents the change in the LRC relating to insurance services for which the Company expects to receive consideration. This insurance revenue comprises: (a) expected claims and other insurance expenses including policyholder taxes where applicable; (b) changes in risk adjustment for non-financial The insurance service expenses arising from insurance contracts are recognized in income or expenses generally as they are incurred and excludes repayment of investment components. The insurance service expenses comprise: (a) incurred claims and other insurance service expenses; (b) losses on onerous contracts and reversal of such losses; (c) adjustments to LIC; (d) amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows; and (e) impairment losses on assets for insurance acquisition cash flows, if any, and reversals of such impairment losses. The amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows within insurance service expense is equal to the recovery of insurance acquisition cash flows in insurance revenue for contracts measured under the GMM and VFA. For contracts measured under the PAA with deferred acquisition cash flows, the Company amortizes insurance acquisition cash flows over the duration of the group of insurance contracts based on the respective coverage units. Net expenses from reinsurance contracts held comprise allocation of reinsurance premiums paid and the amounts expected to be recovered from reinsurers. Reinsurance cash flows that are contingent on claims on the underlying contracts are treated as part of the claims expected to be recovered from reinsurers, whereas reinsurance cash flows that are not contingent on claims on the underlying contracts (for example, some types of ceding commissions) are treated as a reduction in reinsurance premiums paid. For reinsurance contracts measured under the GMM, the allocation of reinsurance premiums paid represents the total of the changes in the asset for remaining coverage that relate to services for which the Company expects to pay consideration. For reinsurance contracts measured under the PAA, the allocation of reinsurance premiums paid is the amount of expected premium payments for receiving services in the period. Insurance finance income or expenses Insurance finance income or expenses comprise the change in the carrying amount of the group of insurance contracts arising from: (a) the effect of the time value of money and changes in the time value of money; and (b) the effect of financial risk and changes in financial risk. The Company disaggregates insurance finance income or expenses on insurance contracts issued for most of its groups of insurance contracts between income or expenses and OCI. The impact of changes in market interest rates on the value of the life insurance and related reinsurance assets and liabilities are reflected in OCI in order to minimize accounting mismatches between the accounting for insurance assets and liabilities and the supporting financial assets. The impacts from differences between current period rates and locked-in The Company’s invested assets which are debt instruments (including bonds, private placements, mortgages, and loans) are predominantly measured at FVOCI. As a result, the effect of the time value of money for the groups of insurance contracts and supporting fixed maturity assets is reflected in income or expenses and the effect of financial risk and changes in financial risk is reflected in OCI. The systematic allocation of expected total insurance finance income or expenses depends on whether changes in assumptions that relate to financial risk have a substantial effect on the expected amounts paid to the policyholders. • For groups of insurance contracts for which changes in assumptions that relate to financial risk do not have a substantial effect on the amounts paid to the policyholders, the Company systematically allocates expected total insurance finance income or expenses over the duration of the group of contracts to income or expenses using discount rates determined on initial recognition of the group of contracts. • For groups of insurance contracts for which changes in assumptions that relate to financial risk have a substantial effect on the amounts paid to the policyholders, the Company systematically allocates expected total insurance finance income or expenses over the duration of the group of contracts to income or expenses using either a constant rate, or an allocation that is based on the amounts credited in the period and expected to be credited in future periods for fulfillment cash flows. The CSM accretion rate would use the discount rates determined on initial recognition of the group of contracts for contractual service margin. In the event of transfer of a group of insurance contracts or derecognition of an insurance contract, the Company reclassifies any amounts that were previously recognized in OCI to income or expenses as insurance finance income or expense. There are no changes in the basis of disaggregation of insurance finance income or expenses between income or expenses and OCI in the period.
Investment contract liabilities	(j) Investment contract liabilities Investment contract liabilities include contracts issued to retail and institutional investors that do not contain significant insurance risk. Investment contract liabilities and deposits are measured at amortized cost or at FVTPL by election. The election is made when these liabilities as well as the related assets are managed, and their performance is evaluated, on a fair value basis or when doing so reduces the accounting mismatches between assets supporting these contracts and the related policy liabilities. Investment contract liabilities are derecognized when the contract expires, is discharged or is cancelled.
Other financial instruments accounted for as liabilities	(k) Other financial instruments accounted for as liabilities The Company issues a variety of other financial instruments classified as liabilities, including notes payable, term notes, senior notes, senior debentures, subordinated notes, surplus notes and preferred shares. These financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, with issuance costs deferred and amortized using the effective interest rate method.
Income taxes	(l) Income taxes The provision for income taxes is calculated based on income tax laws and income tax rates substantively enacted as at the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The income tax provision is comprised of current income taxes and deferred income taxes. Current and deferred income taxes relating to items recognized in OCI and directly in equity are similarly recognized in OCI and directly in equity, respectively. Current income taxes are amounts expected to be payable or recoverable for the current year and any adjustments to taxes payable in respect of previous years. Deferred income taxes are provided for using the liability method and result from temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income taxes are measured at the substantively enacted tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that future realization of the tax benefit is probable. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the tax benefit will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The Company records liabilities for uncertain tax positions if it is probable that the Company will make a payment on tax positions due to examinations by tax authorities. These provisions are measured at the Company’s best estimate of the amount expected to be paid. Provisions are reversed to income in the period in which management assesses they are no longer required or determined by statute. The Company is subject to income tax laws in various jurisdictions. Tax laws are complex and potentially subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant tax authority. The provision for current income taxes and deferred income taxes represents management’s interpretation of the relevant tax laws and its estimate of current and future income tax implications of the transactions and events during the year. The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes or deferred income tax balances when the ultimate deductibility of certain items is successfully challenged by taxing authorities, or if estimates used in determining the amount of deferred tax balances to recognize change significantly, or when receipt of new information indicates the need for adjustment in the amount of deferred income taxes to be recognized. Additionally, future events, such as changes in tax laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could have an impact on the provision for income taxes, deferred tax balances and the effective tax rate. Any such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period these changes occur.
Foreign currency translation	(m) Foreign currency translation Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are measured by each entity using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). If their functional currency is other than Canadian dollar, these entities are foreign operations of the Company. Transactions in a foreign currency are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate in effect at the reporting date. Revenue and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the quarter reported. Exchange gains and losses are recognized in income except for translation of net investments in foreign operations and the results of hedging these positions, and for non-monetary non-monetary The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations are translated from their functional currencies to Canadian dollars; assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date, and revenue and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the period.
Stock-based compensation	(n) Stock-based compensation The Company provides stock-based compensation to certain employees and directors as described in note 15. Compensation expense of equity instruments granted is accrued based on the best estimate of the number of instruments expected to vest, with revisions made to that estimate if subsequent information indicates that actual forfeitures are likely to differ from initial forfeiture estimates, unless forfeitures are due to market-based conditions. Stock options are expensed with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. Restricted share units and deferred share units are expensed with a corresponding liability accrued based on the market value of MFC’s common shares at the end of each quarter. Performance share units are expensed with a corresponding liability accrued based on specific performance conditions and the market value of MFC’s common shares at the end of each quarter. The change in the value of the awards resulting from changes in the market value of MFC’s common shares or changes in the specific performance conditions and credited dividends is recognized in income, offset by the impact of total return swaps used to manage the variability of the related liabilities. Stock-based compensation cost is recognized over the applicable vesting period, unless the employee is eligible to retire at the time of grant or will be eligible to retire during the vesting period. Compensation costs attributable to stock options, restricted share units, and performance share units granted to employees who are eligible to retire on the grant date or who will become eligible to retire during the vesting period, are recognized at the grant date or over the period from the grant date to the date of retirement eligibility, respectively. The Company’s contributions to the Global Share Ownership Plan (“GSOP”) (refer to note 15 (d)), are expensed as incurred. Under the GSOP, subject to certain conditions, the Company will match a percentage of an employee’s eligible contributions to certain maximums. All contributions are used by the plan’s trustee to purchase MFC common shares in the open market on behalf of participating employees.
Employee future benefits	(o) Employee future benefits The Company maintains defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans and other post-employment plans for employees and agents including registered (tax qualified) pension plans that are typically funded as well as supplemental non-registered (non-qualified) The Company’s obligation in respect of defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefits is calculated for each plan as the estimated present value of future benefits that eligible employees have earned in return for their service up to the reporting date using the projected benefit method. The discount rate used is based on the yield, as at the reporting date, of high-quality corporate debt securities that have approximately the same term as the benefit obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. To determine the Company’s net defined benefit asset or liability, the defined benefit obligations are deducted from the fair value of plan assets. When this calculation results in a surplus, the asset that can be recognized is limited to the present value of future economic benefit available in the form of future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan (the asset limit). Defined benefit assets are included in other assets and defined benefit liabilities are included in other liabilities. Changes in the net defined benefit asset or liability due to re-measurement re-measurement The cost of defined benefit pension plans is recognized over the employees’ years of service to retirement while the cost of retiree welfare plans is recognized over the employees’ years of service to their date of full eligibility. The net benefit cost for the year is recorded in income and is calculated as the sum of the service cost in respect of the fiscal year, the net interest income or expense and any applicable administration expenses, plus past service costs or credits resulting from plan amendments or curtailments. The net interest income or expense is determined by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability. The current year cost of disability welfare plans is the year-over-year change in the defined benefit obligation, including any actuarial gains or losses. The cost of defined contribution plans is the contribution provided by the Company and is recorded in income in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
Derivative and hedging instruments	(p) Derivative and hedging instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”) including swaps, forward and futures agreements, and options to manage current and anticipated exposures to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and equity market prices, and to replicate exposure to different types of investments. Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are separately recorded as derivatives when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host instrument, the terms of the embedded derivative are the same as those of a standalone derivative and the host instrument itself is not recorded at FVTPL. Derivatives which are separate financial instruments are recorded at fair value, and those with unrealized gains reported as derivative assets and those with unrealized losses reported as derivative liabilities. A determination is made for each derivative as to whether to apply hedge accounting. Where hedge accounting is not applied, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in investment income. Where the Company has elected to apply hedge accounting, a hedging relationship is designated and documented at inception. Hedge effectiveness is evaluated at inception and throughout the term of the hedge. Hedge accounting is only applied when the Company expects that the risk management objective will be met, and that the hedging relationship will qualify for hedge accounting requirements both at inception and throughout the hedging period. The assessment of hedge effectiveness is performed at the end of each reporting period prospectively. When it is determined that the risk management objective is no longer met, a hedging relationship is no longer effective, or the hedging instrument or the hedged item ceases to exist, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. In such cases, if the derivatives are not sold or terminated, any subsequent changes in fair value of the derivatives are recognized in investment income. For derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are recorded according to the nature of the risks being hedged, as discussed below. In a fair value hedging relationship, changes in fair value of the hedging instruments are recorded in total investment result, offsetting changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, which would otherwise not be carried at fair value through profit or loss. Hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in total investment result and arises from differences between changes in the fair values of hedging instruments and hedged items. When hedge accounting is discontinued, the carrying value of the hedged item is no longer adjusted and the cumulative fair value adjustments are amortized to total investment result over the remaining term of the hedged item unless the hedged item ceases to exist, at which time the balance is recognized immediately in total investment result. In a cash flow hedging relationship, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in OCI while the ineffective portion is recognized in total investment result. Gains and losses in AOCI are recognized in income during the same periods that the variability in the hedged cash flows or the hedged forecasted transactions are recognized in income. The reclassifications from AOCI are made to total investment result, except for total return swaps that hedge stock-based compensation awards, which are reclassified to general expenses. Gains and losses on cash flow hedges in AOCI are reclassified immediately to total investment result when the hedged item ceases to exist or the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur. When a hedge is discontinued, but the hedged forecasted transaction is expected to occur, the amounts in AOCI are reclassified to total investment result in the periods during which variability in the cash flows hedged or the hedged forecasted transaction is recognized in income. In a net investment in foreign operation hedging relationship, gains and losses relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recorded in OCI. Gains and losses in AOCI are recognized in income during the periods when gains or losses on the underlying hedged net investment in foreign operation are recognized in income upon disposal of the foreign operation or upon loss of control or significant influence over it .
Revenue from service contracts	(q) Revenue from service contracts The Company recognizes revenue from service contracts in accordance with IFRS 15. The Company’s service contracts generally impose single performance obligations, each consisting of a series of similar related services for each customer. Revenue is recorded as performance obligations are satisfied over time because the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the services rendered, measured using an output method. Revenue for variable consideration is recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved. Refer to note 14.
Changes in accounting and reporting policy	(a) Changes in accounting and reporting policy (I) IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” IFRS 17 was issued in May 2017 to be effective for years beginning on January 1, 2021. Amendments to IFRS 17 were issued in June 2020 and included a two-year Narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 17 were issued in December 2021 and were effective on initial application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 which the Company has adopted on January 1, 2023. The amendments reduce accounting mismatches between insurance contract liabilities and financial assets in scope of IFRS 9 within comparative prior periods when initially applying IFRS 17 and IFRS 9. The amendments allow insurers to present comparative information on financial assets as if IFRS 9 were fully applicable during the comparative period. The amendments do not permit application of IFRS 9 hedge accounting principles to the comparative period. The Company adopted IFRS 17 on January 1, 2023, with an effective date of January 1, 2022. The Company has prepared an opening balance sheet as at January 1, 2022 under IFRS 17 in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Any differences between the carrying value and the presentation of assets, liabilities and equity determined in accordance with CALM and IFRS 17, as at January 1, 2022, have been recorded in opening retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income. Refer to note 25 for adoption impact of IFRS 17. The 2022 comparative figures and the opening Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at January 1, 2022 as presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements have been restated, where indicated, for the adoption of IFRS 17. For the Company’s accounting policies for applying IFRS 17 to the Company’s insurance and reinsurance contracts, refer to note 1 (i) and (j). (II) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and amended in October 2010, November 2013 and July 2014, and is effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, to be applied retrospectively, or on a modified retrospective basis. Additionally, the IASB issued amendments in October 2017 that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. In conjunction with the amendments to IFRS 17 issued in June 2020, the IASB amended IFRS 4 to permit eligible insurers to apply IFRS 9 effective January 1, 2023, alongside IFRS 17. The standard replaced IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 addresses accounting and reporting principles for the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, the impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” (“IFRS 7”) was amended in conjunction with IFRS 9 and IFRS 17, with expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to financial instruments and became effective along with IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 on January 1, 2023. The Company adopted IFRS 9 on January 1, 2023, as permitted under the June 2020 amendments to IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”. The Company’s accounting policies for invested assets, and derivative and hedging instruments in accordance with IFRS 9 are presented in note 1. IFRS 9 does not require restatement of comparative periods and the Company has not done so. The Company elected the option under IFRS 17 to reclassify financial assets, including those held in respect of activities not connected to contracts within the scope of IFRS 17, on an instrument-by-instrument Consistent with IFRS 17 amendments, the adoption of IFRS 9 resulted in certain differences in the classification and measurement of financial assets when compared to their classification and measurement under IAS 39. The most significant classification changes included approximately $184 billion of debt securities previously classified as FVTPL which were classified as FVOCI under IFRS 9. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting requirements under IFRS 9 to all designated hedge accounting relationships prospectively, with the exception to the cost of hedging guidance, that has been applied retrospectively for certain cash flow hedge and net investment hedge relationships. As at January 1, 2023, all existing IAS 39 hedge accounting relationships were assessed and qualified for hedge accounting under IFRS 9. These existing relationships are treated as continuing hedge accounting relationships under IFRS 9 on January 1, 2023 and are disclosed with comparative information for 2022 under IAS 39. Refer to note 5. The Company has designated new hedge accounting relationships with the objective to reduce potential accounting mismatches between changes in the fair value of derivatives in income, and changes in fair value due to financial risk of insurance liabilities and financial assets in OCI. The incremental notional of derivatives designated in new hedge accounting relationships amounted to $232,637 on transition date. New hedge accounting relationships are effective prospectively on January 1, 2023. The effects of adoption were as follows: • Effects from applying IFRS 17 asset classification changes among FVTPL, AFS and amortized cost under IAS 39 to FVOCI and FVTPL under IFRS 9 resulted in a reduction in retained earnings of $10,645, net of tax, and an increase in OCI of $16,916, net of tax, as at January 1, 2022 when IFRS 17’s transition option was elected. These were presented under “Opening adjustment of financial assets at adoption of IFRS 9 / IFRS 17” in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. • The adoption of IFRS 9 resulted in recognition of ECL of $724. Loss allowances when applied to assets held at amortized cost reduce the carrying value of the assets and reduce equity. Loss allowances do not affect the fair value of assets held at FVOCI and therefore do not affect their carrying value. Loss allowances for assets held at FVOCI do not change total equity, instead result in movement between OCI and retained earnings. • The impact of adopting IFRS 9’s ECL impairment methodology resulted in a reduction to retained earnings of $409, net of tax, and an increase to • As at January 1, 2023, the retrospective application of IFRS 9 to the cost of hedging for currency basis spread resulted with a net $22 reclassification from cash flow hedge and foreign currency translation reserve to a new separate component of accumulated OCI, the cost of hedging. Other IFRS 9 hedge accounting principles had $nil impact as at January 1, 2023 for these Consolidated Financial Statements. • The impact of changes made as at January 1, 2023 were presented under line items labeled “Opening adjustment of financial assets at adoption of IFRS 9 / IFRS 17” in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. The implementation of IFRS 9 has been incorporated into the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework (“ERM”) and supervised by the Executive Risk Committee (“ERC”). The integration of forward-looking information into the calculation of the ECL and the definition and evaluation of what constitutes a significant increase in credit risk (“SICR”) of an investment are inherently subjective and involve the use of significant judgement. Therefore, the Company has developed a front-to-back has designed controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that information is properly recorded. The Company has effective credit risk management processes in place that continue to be applicable and aim to ensure that the effects of economic developments are appropriately considered, mitigation actions are taken where required and risk appetite is reassessed and adjusted as needed. The Company adopted IFRS 7 (as amended), which expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to financial instruments on January 1, 2023. Refer to notes 4, 5 and 9. The following table illustrates the impact on loss allowances for invested assets on transition from the incurred loss impairment under IAS 39 to the expected credit losses impairment allowance under IFRS 9. December 31, 2022 IAS 39 Impairment allowance January 1, 2023 IFRS 9 ECL allowance Debt securities at FVOCI under IFRS 9 $ – $ 348 Private placements at FVOCI under IFRS 9 – 255 Private placements at amortized cost under IAS 39 25 – Mortgages at FVOCI under IFRS 9 – 83 Mortgages at amortized cost under IAS 39 10 – Other invested assets at FVOCI under IFRS 9 – 13 Financial assets at amortized cost under IFRS 9 – 14 Mortgages at amortized cost under IAS 39 7 – Loans to Bank clients under IAS 39 5 – Total on-balance 47 713 Allowance for credit losses on off-balance – 11 Total $ 47 $ 724 The following table shows financial liabilities under IAS 39 and the impact of classification and measurement changes on adoption of IFRS 9. Measurement category December 31, 2022 IAS 39 Total carrying value Impact of classification and measurement changes (1),(2) January 1, 2023 IFRS 9 Total carrying value Investment contract liabilities FVTPL $ 796 $ 2 $ 798 Amortized cost 2,452 6,829 9,281 Deposits from Bank clients Amortized cost 22,507 – 22,507 Derivative liabilities FVTPL 14,289 – 14,289 Other liabilities Amortized cost 17,421 1,473 18,894 Long-term debt Amortized cost 6,234 – 6,234 Capital instruments Amortized cost 6,122 – 6,122 Total in-scope $ 69,821 $ 8,304 $ 78,125 (1) Investment contract liabilities held at amortized cost of $6,829 were reclassified from insurance contract liabilities under IFRS 4. (2) Other liabilities include amounts not in scope of IFRS 9, for example pension obligations. Other liabilities of $1,473 held at amortized cost under IFRS 9 were reclassified from insurance contract liabilities under IFRS 4. (III) Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IFRS Practice Statement 2 “Making Materiality Judgements” were issued in February 2021 and are effective prospectively on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. The amendments address the process of selecting accounting policy disclosures, which will be based on assessments of the materiality of the accounting policies to the entity’s financial statements. Adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. (IV) Amendments to IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors” Amendments to IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors” were issued in February 2021, and are effective prospectively on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted. The amendments include new definitions of estimate and change in accounting estimate, intended to help clarify the distinction among changes in accounting estimates, changes in accounting policies, and corrections of errors. Adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. (V) Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes” Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes” were issued in May 2023. The amendments relate to the OECD’s International Pillar Two tax reform, which seeks to establish a global minimum tax (“GMT”) of fifteen per cent and address inter-jurisdictional base erosion and profit shifting, targeting larger international companies. Most jurisdictions have agreed to participate and effective dates for the GMT vary by jurisdiction based on local legislation. The Amendments require that, effective for the year ended December 31, 2023, disclosure of current tax expense or recovery related to the GMT is required along with, to the extent that the GMT legislation is enacted or substantively enacted but not yet in effect, disclosure of known or reasonably estimable information that helps users of financial statements understand the Company’s exposure to the GMT arising from that legislation. Certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates, including Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Vietnam, have enacted legislation to adopt the GMT as of January 1, 2024. The assessment of the Company’s potential exposure to the GMT is based on the most recent information available regarding the financial performance of the constituent entities in these jurisdictions. Based on the assessment, the Company’s operations within these jurisdictions are not impacted by the GMT and therefore no disclosure of current tax expense or recovery related to the GMT is provided. The United States adopted a corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) of fifteen per cent, with an effective date of January 1, 2023. CAMT is not a Qualifying Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax for the purposes of the GMT. In response to the GMT, Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax 2023 Act on December 27, 2023. The Company’s Bermuda tax-resident subsidiaries and branches will be subject to this new tax regime effective January 1, 2025, at a rate of fifteen per cent. The Bermuda corporate income tax is not a Qualifying Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax for the purposes of the GMT. Countries without a qualified domestic minimum top-up tax of their own will be in scope for Canada’s global minimum tax calculations, once enacted. The Company does not expect this will affect Manulife’s total global minimum tax exposure; however, it will dictate which jurisdiction has the taxing right for local country income. The Amendments introduce a temporary mandatory exception in IAS 12 from recognizing and disclosing deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the GMT. The Company has applied the mandatory temporary exception from accounting for deferred taxes in respect of the GMT.

(2) For variable annuity contracts measured under VFA the impact of financial risk and changes in interest rates adjusts CSM, unless the risk mitigation option applies. The Company has elected to apply risk mitigation and therefore a portion of the impact is reported in net income attributed to shareholders instead of adjusting the CSM. If the CSM for a group of variable annuity contracts is exhausted the full impact is reported in net income attributed to shareholders. (3) This impact for general fund equity investments includes general fund investments supporting the Company’s insurance contract liabilities, investment in seed money investments (in segregated and mutual funds made by Global WAM segment) and the impact on insurance contract liabilities related to the projected future fee income on variable universal life and other unit linked products. The impact does not include any potential impact on public equity weightings. The participating policy funds are largely self-supporting and generate no material impact on net income attributed to shareholders as a result of changes in equity markets.

(2) This estimate assumes that the performance of the dynamic hedging program would not completely offset the gain/loss from the dynamically hedged variable annuity guarantee liabilities. It assumes that the hedge assets are based on the actual position at the period end, and that equity hedges in the dynamic program offset 95% of the hedged variable annuity liability movement that occur as a result of market changes. (3) OSFI rules for segregated fund guarantees reflect full capital impacts of shocks over 20 quarters within a prescribed range. As such, the deterioration in equity markets could lead to further increases in capital requirements after the initial shock. (4) For variable annuity contracts measured under VFA the impact of financial risk and changes in interest rates adjusts CSM, unless the risk mitigation option applies. The Company has elected to apply risk mitigation and therefore a portion of the impact is reported in net income attributed to shareholders instead of adjusting the CSM. If the CSM for a group of variable annuity contracts is exhausted the full impact is reported in net income attributed to shareholders. (5) The impact of financial risk and changes to interest rates for variable annuity contracts is not expected to generate sensitivity in Other Comprehensive Income.
