Developing our Asian opportunity to the fullest – Achieved record insurance sales on a constant currency basis with new product launches and channel expansion accelerating our growth, notably in Japan (+60%), China (+28%) and Hong Kong (+15%); delivered record wealth sales on a constant currency basis, in line with the levels set in 2013; strengthened our bancassurance footprint by entering into nine new insurance distribution agreements, two of which are exclusive.
|
·
|
Growing our wealth and asset management businesses around the world – Achieved our 25th consecutive quarter of record assets under management; delivered record institutional sales at Manulife Asset Management across a broad variety of mandates, including $1.1 billion in mandates from our Private Markets business in its inaugural year; generated over $18 billion of net flows into our asset management and group retirement businesses.
|
·
|
Building on our balanced Canadian business – Announced the acquisition of the Canadian-based operations of Standard Life plc, which closed on January 30, 2015; delivered solid Group Retirement Solutions and mutual fund sales; generated Retail Insurance sales growth, driven by the successful launch of a simplified universal life product; reported lower lending volumes at Manulife Bank and a decline in Group Benefits sales amid competitive pressures.
|
·
|
Continuing to drive sustainable earnings and opportunistic growth in the U.S. – Announced our agreement to acquire New York Life’s Retirement Plan Services (“RPS”) business; delivered record wealth sales with strong mutual fund volumes outweighing the negative impact of intensified competitive pressures in the RPS market; continued to build momentum in insurance sales over the course of the year, driven by product changes.
|

|
Reported net income attributed to shareholders of $640 million in 4Q14, down $657 million from the fourth quarter of 2013 (“4Q13”), and $3,501 million in 2014, up $371 million from 2013:
|
|
-
|
In 4Q14, net income attributed to shareholders included core earnings of $713 million and items excluded from core earnings which netted to a charge of $73 million. Items excluded from core earnings included charges resulting from adjustments to the fair value of alternative long-duration assets and changes in actuarial methods and assumptions, which were largely offset by the favourable impact of interest rates.
|
|
-
|
In 2014, net income attributed to shareholders included core earnings of $2,888 million as well as a number of items excluded from core earnings totaling $613 million. These items included gains from market-related factors and favourable investment-related experience, partly offset by charges related to changes in actuarial methods and assumptions.
|
·
|
Generated core earnings of $713 million in 4Q14, down $42 million from the third quarter of 2014 (“3Q14”), and $2,888 million in 2014, up $271 million from 2013:
|
|
-
|
In 4Q14, core earnings declined $42 million compared with 3Q14 due to unfavourable policyholder experience and the timing of certain expenses, partly offset by the favourable impact of higher new business volumes.
|
|
-
|
In 2014, core earnings increased $271 million from 2013, driven by higher fee income on higher asset levels in our wealth management businesses, lower equity hedging costs and the favourable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset by unfavourable policyholder experience.

In 4Q14, all three geographies delivered strong growth in insurance sales compared with 4Q13. In Asia, we achieved record sales, with most territories growing at a double digit pace. In

Canada, we had a strong fourth quarter in large case Group Benefits sales. In the U.S., we continued to build momentum in life insurance sales as product enhancements and targeted pricing changes implemented earlier in the year continued to make an impact.
|
|
-
|
In 2014, insurance sales declined 10% from 2013 largely due to a decrease in Group Benefit sales reflecting our disciplined pricing approach in the very competitive market. Excluding Group Benefits, insurance sales increased 13% in 2014 over the prior year. In Asia, we achieved record insurance sales on a constant currency basis, up 31% compared with 2013, driven by continued momentum in corporate products in Japan, successful sales campaigns and product launches in Hong Kong, and double digit sales growth in our Asia Other businesses. In Canada, retail insurance sales grew reflecting the successful launch of a simplified universal life solution. In the U.S., insurance sales increased sequentially in each quarter of the year, but decreased compared with 2013 amid a sluggish estate planning market.
|
·
|
Generated wealth sales of $13.8 billion in 4Q14 and achieved record sales of $52.6 billion in 2014, reflecting 6% and 1% increases from 4Q13 and 2013, respectively. Excluding Manulife Bank, wealth sales grew by 3% in 2014:
|
|
-
|
In 4Q14, wealth sales increased 6% compared with 4Q13. New bank loan volumes (which we include in wealth sales) declined due to competitive rate pressures in a slowing residential mortgage market. Excluding bank loan volumes, wealth sales increased 9% compared with 4Q13. In Asia, wealth sales continued to demonstrate strong momentum, growing 64% from 4Q13, benefiting from new product launches, marketing campaigns and improved market sentiment. In Canada, group retirement sales increased with strong sales of defined contribution plans. In the U.S., wealth sales were in line with the prior year, reflecting continued strong mutual fund sales.
|
|
-
|
In 2014, we delivered record full year wealth sales, with solid contributions from all three geographies. In Asia, sales trended upward throughout the year as a result of new product launches, marketing campaigns, and improved market sentiment. In Canada, wealth sales excluding bank loan volumes rose, led by our second highest annual group retirement sales. In the U.S., mutual fund sales continued to be strong and outpaced the industry4, outweighing the negative impact of intensified competitive pressures in the group retirement market.
|
·
|
Achieved 25th consecutive quarter of record assets under management5 of $691 billion at December 31, 2014, an increase of $92 billion, or 9% on a constant currency basis, compared with the prior year.
|
·

Announced two acquisitions in 2014 that will accelerate our strategy to grow our wealth and asset management businesses around the world:
|
|
-
|
In Canada, we announced an agreement to acquire the Canadian-based operations of Standard Life plc, which will increase our presence in Quebec and accelerate our growth strategy in Canada, particularly for our wealth and asset management businesses. The transaction closed on January 30, 2015.
|
|
-
|
In the U.S., we announced an agreement to acquire New York Life Insurance Company’s RPS business. By joining New York Life’s strength and expertise in the mid- and large-plan segments with our leadership in the small-plan segment, we will significantly expand our market presence and become one of the major group retirement plan providers in the U.S. This transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2015, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

|
Reported a Minimum Continuing Capital and Surplus Requirements (“MCCSR”) ratio for The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (“MLI”) of 248% at the end of 2014, the same ratio as at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. MFC’s financial leverage ratio was

|
In 2014, we issued $2.26 billion of subscription receipts that were exchanged for common shares on January 30, 2015 as a result of the closing of the acquisition of the Canadian-based operations of Standard Life plc. On a pro forma basis, had the transaction closed on December 31, 2014, the MCCSR ratio would have been in the range of 235% to 240% and our leverage ratio would have been approximately 27.1%.
|
·
|
Delivered $2.4 billion in remittances6 from operating divisions to the group in 2014, in line with 2013. Our Asia, Canadian and U.S. Divisions were able to remit a high proportion of their earnings.
|
·
|
Achieved run rate Efficiency and Effectiveness savings in excess of $300 million pre-tax as at December 31, 2014, up from approximately $200 million pre-tax run rate savings7 at the end of 2013. We continued to make substantial progress with our Efficiency and Effectiveness (“E&E”) initiative, with projects being completed at a faster pace than originally anticipated. In 2014, we achieved approximately $200 million in net pre-tax savings, which enabled us to fund new strategic initiatives to accelerate our long-term earnings growth. We remain on track to achieve $400 million in pre-tax E&E savings in 20168.
|
·
|
Generated new business embedded value (“NBEV”)9 of $355 million in 4Q14 and $1,274 million in 2014, reflecting 12% and 6% increases from 4Q13 and 2013, respectively. The growth in NBEV in 4Q14 and in the full year of 2014 compared with prior year periods was primarily driven by the growth in our insurance sales in Asia and a more favourable business mix.

Remittances are defined as cash remitted by operating subsidiaries and excess capital generated by stand-alone Canadian operations, and available for deployment by Manulife.

|
·

|
·
|

For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category, the next 22.5%, 35%, 22.5% and bottom 10% receive 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 star, respectively. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance associated with its 3-, 5- and 10 year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The overall rating includes the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees, while the load-waived does not. Load-waived rating for Class A shares should only be considered by investors who are not subject to a front-end sales charge.

·
|
JH Investments 4Q14 sales of US$5.8 billion and full year 2014 sales of US$24.7 billion represented increases of 4% and 6%, respectively, compared with comparative periods in 2013. Record full year sales were aided by strong fund performance and the ability to get products on to recommended lists and into wirehouse firms’ investment allocation models. Our results continue to outpace the industry as our 12-month trailing organic growth rate through December 2014 (calculated as net new flows as percentage of beginning assets) was 18.9% versus the industry rate of 1.0%, placing us 3rd in the industry in terms of growth.14 JH Investments redemption rates continue to outperform the industry with a favourable downward trend, while industry redemptions continue to trend upward.15 Assets under management reached a record US$74.8 billion at December 31, 2014, a 23% increase from the prior year end.

We believe the transaction will improve core earnings, however the transition costs reported in core earnings will create a modest, temporary headwind on our core return on common shareholders’ equity (“Core ROE”) 2016 objective of 13%.
|
·
|
Excluding transition and integration costs, the transaction is expected to be marginally accretive to EPS in the 1st year.
|
·
|
The transaction increases earnings contributions from less capital intensive, fee-based businesses.
|
·
|
Integration costs totaling $150 million post-tax are expected to be incurred in the first 3 years and we expect revenue synergies which will build over time.
|

|
See “Caution regarding forward-looking statements” and “Performance and Non-GAAP Measures” below.
|
·
|
Annual cost savings of $100 million post-tax are expected to be largely achieved by the 3rd year.
|
·
|
At the time of announcement, we indicated we were targeting an MCCSR ratio in the range of 235% to 240% at close. The pro forma ratio assuming we had closed on December 31, 2014 would have been in that range.
|
·
|
We also indicated that we were targeting a financial leverage ratio of approximately 28% at close. The pro forma ratio assuming we had closed on December 31, 2014 would have been approximately 27.1%.
|
·
|
We continue to target a 25% financial leverage ratio over the long-term.

(2)
|
The decrease in expected macro hedge cost in 4Q14 compared with 4Q13 was partially offset by an increase in dynamic hedging costs included in Asia, Canada and U.S. divisional core earnings.
|
(3)
|
The 4Q14 net loss from macro equity hedges was $107 million and consisted of a $47 million charge related to the estimated expected cost of the macro equity hedges relative to our long-term valuation assumptions and a charge of $60 million because actual markets outperformed our valuation assumptions (included in direct impact of equity markets and interest rates and variable annuity guarantee liabilities below).
|
(4)
|
As outlined under “Critical Accounting and Actuarial Policies” below, net insurance contract liabilities under IFRS for Canadian insurers are determined using the Canadian Asset Liability Method (“CALM”). Under CALM, the measurement of policy liabilities includes estimates regarding future expected investment income on assets supporting the policies. Experience gains and losses are reported when current period activity differs from what was assumed in the policy liabilities at the beginning of the period. These gains and losses can relate to both the investment returns earned in the period, as well as to the change in our policy liabilities driven by the impact of current period investing activities on future expected investment income assumptions. The direct impact of equity markets and interest rates is separately reported. The inclusion of up to $200 million per annum of favourable investment experience will be increasing to $400 million per annum commencing 1Q15. See section F1 “Performance and Non-GAAP Measures” below for more information.
|
(5)
|
The direct impact of equity markets and interest rates is relative to our policy liability valuation assumptions and includes changes to interest rate assumptions, including experience gains and losses on derivatives associated with our macro equity hedges. We also include gains and losses on derivative positions and the sale of available-for-sale (“AFS”) bonds in the Corporate and Other segment. See table below for components of this item. Until 3Q14 this also included a quarterly ultimate reinvestment rate (“URR”) update.
|
(6)
|
The 4Q14 charge of $59 million is primarily attributable to method and modeling refinements, partially offset by a gain of $65 million due to the implementation of the Canadian Actuarial Standards Board’s revisions to the Canadian Actuarial Standards of Practice related to economic reinvestment assumptions.
|
(7)
|
The 4Q13 gain of $261 million includes the impact on the measurement of policy liabilities of policyholder-approved changes to the investment objectives of separate accounts that support our variable annuity products in the U.S. and a recapture of a reinsurance treaty in Asia.

In 4Q14, gross equity exposure losses of $881 million and gross equity hedging charges of $60 million from macro hedge experience were partially offset by gains of $799 million from dynamic hedging experience which resulted in a loss of $142 million.
|
(2)
|
The gain in 4Q14 for fixed income reinvestment assumptions was driven by the favourable impact on the measurement of policy liabilities of changes in yield curves and spreads primarily in the U.S. and Canada.
|

|
The periodic URR charges have ceased effective 4Q14 due to revisions to the Canadian Actuarial Standards of Practice related to economic reinvestment assumptions.

|
Of the $198 million charge for change in actuarial methods and assumptions in 2014, $69 million was reported in the third quarter as part of the comprehensive annual review of valuation assumptions. Over the full year, charges due to lapse assumption changes, and updates to actuarial standards related to segregated fund bond calibration criteria, were partially offset by benefits due to refinements related to the projection of asset and liability cash flows, including an in depth review of the modelling of future tax cash flows for our U.S. Insurance business, updates to mortality and morbidity assumptions, and updates to actuarial standards related to economic reinvestment assumptions.

The $4 million gain in 2014 relates to tax rate changes in Asia. The 2013 tax item primarily reflects the impact on our deferred tax asset position of Canadian provincial tax rate changes.

Contracts with guaranteed long-term care benefits are included in this category.
|
(2)
|
Where a policy includes both living and death benefits, the guarantee in excess of the living benefit is included in the death benefit category.
|
(3)
|
Death benefits include stand-alone guarantees and guarantees in excess of living benefit guarantees where both death and living benefits are provided on a policy.
|
(4)
|
Amount at risk (in-the-money amount) is the excess of guarantee values over fund values on all policies where the guarantee value exceeds the fund value. This amount is not currently payable. For guaranteed minimum death benefit, the amount at risk is defined as the current guaranteed minimum death benefit in excess of the current account balance. For guaranteed minimum income benefit, the amount at risk is defined as the excess of the current annuitization income base over the current account value. For all guarantees, the amount at risk is floored at zero at the single contract level.
|

The amount at risk net of reinsurance at December 31, 2014 was $5,528 million (December 31, 2013 – $5,230 million) of which: US$3,616 million (December 31, 2013 – US$3,124 million) was on our U.S. business, $912 million (December 31, 2013 – $1,248 million) was on our Canadian business, US$99 million (December 31, 2013 – US$335 million) was on our Japan business and US$264 million (December 31, 2013 – US$285 million) was related to Asia (other than Japan) and our run-off reinsurance business.

Includes the impact of rebalancing equity hedges in the macro and dynamic hedging program. The impact of dynamic hedge rebalancing represents the impact of rebalancing equity hedges for dynamically hedged variable annuity guarantee best estimate liabilities at 5% intervals, but does not include any impact in respect of other sources of hedge ineffectiveness e.g. fund tracking, realized volatility and equity, interest rate correlations different from expected among other factors.

|
The potential impact is shown assuming that the change in value of the hedge assets does not completely offset the change in the dynamically hedged variable annuity guarantee liabilities. The estimated amount that would not be completely offset relates to our practices of not hedging the provisions for adverse deviation and of rebalancing equity hedges for dynamically hedged variable annuity liabilities at 5% intervals.

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.

Sensitivities are based on projected asset and liability cash flows at the beginning of the quarter adjusted for the estimated impact of new business, investment markets and asset trading during the quarter. Any true-up to these estimates, as a result of the final asset and liability cash flows to be used in the next quarter’s projection, are reflected in the next quarter’s sensitivities. Impact of realizing fair value changes in AFS fixed income assets is as of the end of the quarter.

The impact on MLI’s MCCSR ratio includes both the impact of the change in earnings on available capital as well as the change in required capital that results from a change in interest rates.

The sensitivity to public equity returns above includes the impact on both segregated fund guarantee reserves and on other policy liabilities. For a 100 basis point increase in expected growth rates, the impact from segregated fund guarantee reserves is a $100 million increase (December 31, 2013 – $200 million increase). For a 100 basis point decrease in expected growth rates, the impact from segregated fund guarantee reserves is a $100 million decrease (December 31, 2013 – $200 million decrease). Expected long-term annual market growth assumptions for public equities pre-dividends for key markets are based on long-term historical observed experience and compliance with actuarial standards. The growth rates for returns in the major markets used in the stochastic valuation models for valuing segregated fund guarantees are 7.6% per annum in Canada, 7.6% per annum in the U.S. and 5.2% per annum in Japan. Growth assumptions for European equity funds are market-specific and vary between 5.8% and 7.85%.
|

|
ALDA include commercial real estate, timber and agricultural real estate, oil and gas, and private equities. The reduction of $600 million in sensitivity to a decrease from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014 is primarily related to the implementation of the revised Canadian Actuarial Standards of Practice related to economic reinvestment assumptions.
|
(3)
|
Volatility assumptions for public equities are based on long-term historic observed experience and compliance with actuarial standards. The resulting volatility assumptions are 17.15% per annum in Canada and 17.15% per annum in the U.S. for large cap public equities, and 19% per annum in Japan. For European equity funds, the volatility assumptions vary between 16.25% and 18.4%.

|
§
|
The earnings impact of the difference between the net increase (decrease) in variable annuity liabilities that are dynamically hedged and the performance of the related hedge assets. Our variable annuity dynamic hedging strategy is not designed to completely offset the sensitivity of insurance and investment contract liabilities to all risks or measurements associated with the guarantees embedded in these products for a number of reasons, including; provisions for adverse deviation, fund performance, the portion of the interest rate risk that is not dynamically hedged, realized equity and interest rate volatilities and changes to policyholder behaviour.
|
|
§
|
Gains (charges) on variable annuity guarantee liabilities that are not dynamically hedged.
|
|
§
|
Gains (charges) on general fund equity investments supporting insurance and investment contract liabilities and on fee income.
|
|
§
|
Gains (charges) on macro equity hedges relative to expected costs. The expected cost of macro hedges is calculated using the equity assumptions used in the valuation of insurance and investment contract liabilities.
|
|
§
|
Gains (charges) on higher (lower) fixed income reinvestment rates assumed in the valuation of insurance and investment contract liabilities, including the impact on the fixed income ultimate reinvestment rate (“URR”).

|
2.
|
Net favourable investment-related experience in excess of $200 million ($400 million beginning in 2015) per annum or net unfavourable investment-related experience on a year-to-date basis. Investment-related experience relates to fixed income trading, alternative long-duration asset returns, credit experience and asset mix changes. This favourable and unfavourable investment-related experience is a combination of reported investment experience as well as the impact of investing activities on the measurement of our insurance and investment contract liabilities.

The realized and unrealized gains (losses) on assets supporting insurance and investment contract liabilities are mostly offset by changes in the measurement of our policy obligations. For fixed income assets supporting insurance and investment contracts, equities supporting pass-through products and derivatives related to variable annuity hedging programs, the impact of realized/unrealized gains (losses) on the assets is largely offset in the change in insurance and investment contract liabilities. The realized/unrealized gains (losses) on assets supporting insurance and investment contract liabilities related primarily to the impact of interest rate changes on bond and fixed income derivative positions as well as interest rate swaps supporting the dynamic hedge program. See section B7 – “impact of fair value accounting” above.
