TORONTO and BARBADOS, Nov. 13, 2025 /CNW/ - Sagicor Financial Company Ltd. (TSX: SFC), a leading financial services provider in Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean, today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. All figures are in US$ unless otherwise stated. Q3 Highlights
Andre Mousseau, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are pleased to report another strong quarter for Q3 2025. Our core earnings(1) to shareholders reflects each of our operating segments performing well and an improved cost of funding. Our significantly higher net income to shareholders reflects that core strength plus a reversal of some of the market-driven volatility observed in previous quarters in 2025." Overall Sagicor Group – Financial Highlights Sagicor's core earnings(1) to shareholders was $35.0 million for Q3 2025, reflecting continued strong business momentum at all operating segments. Sagicor Canada benefited from strength in investment earnings and positive insurance experience and the Caribbean segments continued to see positive impacts from repricing initiatives. Reported net income to shareholders of $81.0 million was driven by higher than expected equity market returns at Sagicor Canada, the favorable impact of interest rate movements at all operating segments, revaluation gains on Canadian dollar denominated financing facilities, and the favorable impact from the annual assumption review. Sagicor remains well capitalized with a Group LICAT(1) ratio of 141%, unchanged Q/Q, and a financial leverage ratio(1) of 26.6%. Consolidated Highlights
Business Segment Performance Sagicor has four main reporting operating segments: Sagicor Canada (ivari), Sagicor Life USA, Sagicor Jamaica (of which the Company owns 49.1% and is consolidated by the Company), and Sagicor Life (which includes the southern Caribbean).

Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures The Company reports certain non-IFRS measures and insurance industry metrics that are used to evaluate its performance. As non-IFRS measures generally do not have a standardized meaning, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Securities regulators require such measures to be clearly defined and reconciled with their most comparable IFRS measures. These measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the results of the operations of the Company from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation, nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. Non-IFRS measures used to analyze the performance of the Company's businesses are set out below. Please see the discussion below for an explanation or a reconciliation of certain non-IFRS measures. Group Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test ("Group LICAT"): The Group's goal is to maintain adequate levels, at sufficient margins above minimum regulatory capital requirements, to maintain consumer confidence as well as credit ratings with external rating agencies. Management engages the Board with regards to actions necessary to maintain appropriate capital levels. Sagicor has voluntarily elected to follow OSFI's LICAT Guideline, specifically the latest amendment which became effective January 1, 2025. Core return on shareholders' equity (Core ROE): This measures profitability using core earnings available to common shareholders as a percentage of the capital deployed to earn the core earnings. The Company calculates core ROE using average common shareholders' equity quarterly, as the average of common shareholders' equity at the start and end of the quarter, and annually, as the average of the quarterly average common shareholders' equity for the year. The quarterly Core return on shareholders' equity is annualised. Return on Shareholders' Equity (ROE): IFRS does not prescribe the calculation of return on shareholders' equity and therefore a comparable measure under IFRS is not available. To determine this measure, reported net income/(loss) attributable to shareholders is divided by the average of common shareholders' equity at the start and end of the quarter, and annually, as the average of the quarterly average common shareholders' equity for the year. The quarterly return on shareholders' equity is annualised. This measure provides an indication of overall profitability of the company. Book value per share: To determine the book value per share, shareholders' equity is divided by the number of shares outstanding at the period end, net of any treasury shares. Revenues: Revenues is the sum of three IFRS measures: insurance revenue, net investment income, and fees and other income. Financial leverage ratio: The financial leverage ratio is the ratio of notes and loans payable (refer to note 7 of the Q3 2025 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) to total capital, as defined below. This ratio measures the proportion of debt the Company uses to finance its operations as compared with its capital. Total capital: This measure provides an indicator for evaluating the Company's performance. Total capital ($3.7 billion as at Q3 2025) is the sum of total shareholders' equity ($1.0 billion), notes and loans payable ($976 million), non-controlling interests ($387 million) and net CSM ($1.3 billion) . This measure is the sum of several IFRS measures. New business CSM: This measure is the amount of the contractual service margin added from contracts initially recognized in the period, net of reinsurance. New business production: This measure is equal to the amount of annuities and life insurance new business paid premium. Net CSM: This measure is the balance of the direct contractual service margin net of reinsurance contractual service margin. Net CSM to shareholders: This measure is the amount of the net CSM attributable to shareholders. Net premium: The sum of premiums written by an insurance company, less premiums ceded to reinsurance companies, plus any reinsurance assumed in the reporting period, excluding segregated fund premium. Shareholders' equity plus net CSM to shareholders: This measure is the sum of commo nshareholders' equity and Net CSM to shareholders and is an important measure for monitoring growth and measuring insurance businesses' value. Core basic earnings per share (Core Basic EPS): represents core earnings attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. This is a measure to evaluate the Company's capacity to generate sustainable earnings. Core dividend payout ratio: This is the ratio of dividends declared per share to core basic earnings per share. Core earnings to shareholders: Core earnings to shareholders is intended to remove from reported earnings or loss the impacts of the following items that create volatility in Sagicor's results under IFRS, or that are considered to be not representative of Sagicor's business operating performance and long-term earnings potential including among others unexpected market-related impacts, changes in assumptions, management actions, certain acquisition or disposition related amounts and others such as one-time costs, amortization of intangibles, and tax effects of the aforementioned items, gross of non-controlling interests.Non-controlling interests on all the aforementioned items are included in Other. Each of these items is classified as a supplementary financial measure and has no directly comparable IFRS financial measure disclosed in Sagicor's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to which the measure relates, nor are reconciliations available. The core earnings to shareholders can be reconciled to net income to shareholders as follows: Net Income and Core Earnings Reconciliation (US$ millions)
