Top potash producer Nutrien beats second-quarter profit estimates
(Reuters) -Nutrien beat Wall Street estimates for second-quarter profit on Wednesday, as the world's top potash producer benefited from improved demand in North America amid a robust corn planting season. U.S. farmers expanded corn plantings by 5% this year to the highest since 2013 while cutting soybean acres by 4% to a five-year low, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in June. The agency expects U.S. farmers will seed 95.203 million acres (38.527 million hectares) of corn this year, up from 90.594 million last year. Potash sales jumped 31% to $991 million in the three months ended June 30, the company said. Total sales rose to $10.44 billion, from $10.16 billion a year. The Saskatoon, Canada-based firm posted an adjusted profit of $2.65 per share, compared with analysts' average estimate of $2.40, according to data compiled by LSEG.

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 202510 "Our second-quarter results underscore the strength and resilience of our global franchise, as we continue to deliver high-quality growth across a diversified portfolio. All three insurance segments achieved over 30% growth year over year in new business CSM, clear evidence of our momentum and future earnings potential. Notably, Asia continued to generate strong APE sales and increased NBV margin sequentially.6 Global WAM further expanded its core EBITDA margin4 and delivered double-digit core earnings growth compared with the prior year quarter.7 "It's an incredible privilege to lead Manulife and I'm energized by the passion and performance of this team. We are building on a strong foundation and are well-positioned to navigate a dynamic macroeconomic landscape with clarity and purpose.

"Investing in our high-potential businesses with strategically focused intent is critical, and I'm excited to announce our acquisition of Comvest Credit Partners, adding highly complementary and scaled capabilities in private credit, an asset-strategy that we believe will contribute to future growth across our Global Wealth and Asset Management lines of business." — Phil Witherington, Manulife President & Chief Executive Officer "While core EPS growth was dampened by headwinds related to unfavourable life insurance claims experience in the U.S. and strengthened expected credit loss provisions, the underlying fundamentals of our businesses remained robust and we are reporting strong earnings growth in Global WAM, Asia and Canada. This is supported by our continued expense discipline which drove a 3% reduction in overall core expenses compared with 2Q24.2 Book value per common share was resilient with a 5% increase year over year, and we continue buying back common shares, including $1.1 billion since the start of the year, demonstrating our steadfast commitment to enhancing shareholder value." — Colin Simpson, Manulife Chief Financial Officer Results at a Glance ($ millions, unless otherwise stated) Quarterly Results YTD Results 2Q25 2Q24 Change3,6 2025 2024 Change3,6 Net income attributed to shareholders $ 1,789 $ 1,042 72 % $ 2,274 $ 1,908 16 % Core earnings7 $ 1,726 $ 1,737 (2) % $ 3,493 $ 3,447 (2) % EPS ($) $ 0.98 $ 0.52 88 % $ 1.23 $ 0.97 23 % Core EPS ($)7 $ 0.95 $ 0.91 2 % $ 1.94 $ 1.82 3 % ROE 15.6 % 9.0 % 6.6 pps 9.7 % 8.5 % 1.2 pps Core ROE7 15.0 % 15.7 % (0.7) pps 15.3 % 16.0 % (0.7) pps Book value per common share ($) $ 24.90 $ 23.71 5 % $ 24.90 $ 23.71 5 % Adjusted BV per common share ($)4,7 $ 35.78 $ 33.32 7 % $ 35.78 $ 33.32 7 % Financial leverage ratio (%)4,7 23.6 % 25.0 % (1.4) pps 23.6 % 25.0 % (1.4) pps APE sales $ 2,230 $ 1,907 15 % $ 4,919 $ 3,790 26 % New business CSM $ 882 $ 628 37 % $ 1,789 $ 1,286 34 % NBV7 $ 846 $ 691 20 % $ 1,753 $ 1,332 27 % Global WAM net flows ($ billions)6 $ 0.9 $ 0.1 417 % $ 1.4 $ 6.8 (80) % Results by Segment ($ millions, unless otherwise stated) Quarterly Results YTD Results 2Q25 2Q24 Change6 2025 2024 Change6 Asia (US$) Net income attributed to shareholders $ 600 $ 424 44 % $ 1,035 $ 694 49 % Core earnings7 520 449 13 % 1,012 914 10 % APE sales 1,233 920 31 % 2,645 1,870 41 % New business CSM 480 349 34 % 978 713 36 % NBV7 451 346 28 % 908 669 35 % Canada Net income attributed to shareholders $ 390 $ 79 394 % $ 612 $ 352 74 % Core earnings 419 402 4 % 793 766 4 % APE sales 345 520 (34) % 836 970 (14) % New business CSM 100 76 32 % 191 146 31 % NBV 161 159 1 % 341 316 8 % U.S. (US$) Net income attributed to shareholders $ 26 $ 98 (73) % $ (371) $ 18 – % Core earnings 141 303 (53) % 392 638 (39) % APE sales 130 93 40 % 250 206 21 % New business CSM 86 54 59 % 156 126 24 % NBV 46 41 12 % 94 78 21 % Global WAM Net income attributed to shareholders $ 482 $ 350 36 % $ 925 $ 715 25 % Core earnings7 463 386 19 % 917 735 22 % Gross flows ($ billions)6 43.8 41.4 5 % 94.1 86.9 5 % Average AUMA ($ billions)6 1,005 933 7 % 1,022 917 9 % Core EBITDA margin (%) 30.1 % 26.3 % 380 bps 29.2 % 25.9 % 330 bps Strategic Highlights We are embedding AI across our business, accelerating our journey to become a Digital, Customer Leader and earning the top spot for AI maturity in our industry In Global WAM, we launched an AI-powered sales enablement solution in U.S. Retirement, delivering real-time insights and personalized content to enhance our sales operation and productivity, improve our sales close ratio, and drive revenue growth. This doubled the number of sales opportunities compared with 2Q24 and reduced the time spent on information searches by over 50%. In Asia, we rolled out VOICE in Singapore and Japan, a multi-signal dashboard that includes call trend analysis, net sentiment scores, topic trends and deep dive insights from call center transcripts. VOICE utilizes GenAI to categorize data, find correlations, and customize insights by analyzing near real-time trends from customer interactions. These insights help us to better understand customer sentiment and key interests, enhance services, improve training, and identify opportunities to better deliver value to our customers. In the U.S., we launched a GenAI functionality in long-term care ("LTC") to enhance automated claims processing to strengthen the value of our LTC business and provide insights for future innovations. In Canada, we launched an end-to-end digital travel insurance platform that modernizes the distributor experience and simplifies the purchasing process for Canadians and their families. We were ranked first in the life insurance sector for AI maturity in the inaugural Evident AI Index for Insurance11, ranking in the top five across the insurance industry overall. Our strong performance, particularly around Leadership and Transparency, is a testament to the multi-year investments in AI across the Company, reflecting our capability in scaling AI effectively. We continue to strengthen our distribution capabilities and expand product offerings to meet evolving customer needs In Asia, we demonstrated the strength of our agency force with a 23% year-over-year increase in the number of Million Dollar Round Table ("MDRT") members for Manulife Asia, positioning us as the third largest globally in 2025 MDRT membership.12 In addition, we became the first international life insurer to establish an office in the Dubai International Financial Centre13 dedicated to advising on and offering life insurance contracts to high-net-worth ("HNW") customers. This strategic move deepens our presence in the Middle East and enhances our ability to address the growing wealth and protection needs of HNW and ultra-HNW individuals in the region. In Global WAM, we continued to deliver comprehensive investment solutions by expanding our Global Retail product lineup with the launch of a diversified real assets strategy in Malaysia to help investors navigate market volatility. In addition, we introduced four new actively managed ETF series in Canada, enhancing access to diversified equity and fixed income exposures, to meet evolving investor needs. Furthermore, we enhanced the Manulife iFUNDS platform, making it the first integrated digital wealth solution in Singapore that offers advisors a unified view of clients' Unit Trust and Investment-Linked Plan ("ILP") holdings. By integrating these into a single platform and incorporating AI-powered ILP analytics capabilities, the enhancements streamline portfolio oversight, accelerate transaction execution, and empower advisors to deliver more personalized and insightful financial guidance. In Canada, we partnered with Maven Clinic, the world's largest virtual clinic for women's and family health14, to offer eligible Group Benefits members 24/7 virtual access to personalized support during some of their most important stages of life, including fertility, maternity, parenting, and menopause. This initiative addresses critical care gaps that impact women's health and workforce participation. In the U.S., we expanded our wholesaling team to pursue more targeted growth strategies and accelerate our penetration within the U.S. HNW and mass affluent markets. Resilient earnings with strong contributions from Global WAM and Asia15 Core earnings of $1.7 billion in 2Q25, down 2% from 2Q24 Core earnings decreased as strong business growth in Global WAM, Asia and Canada was offset by unfavourable life insurance claims experience in the U.S. and strengthened ECL provisions. Asia core earnings increased 13%, reflecting continued business growth, favourable claims experience and improved impact of new business, partially offset by strengthened ECL provisions. Global WAM core earnings increased 19%, driven by higher net fee income from favourable market impacts over the past 12 months and positive net flows, higher performance fees and continued expense discipline, partially offset by the impact of lower fee spreads and higher taxes. Canada core earnings were up 4%, as business growth in Group Insurance and higher investment spreads more than offset the impacts of a release in ECL provision in 2Q24 and the RGA Canadian universal life reinsurance transaction.16 U.S. core earnings decreased 53%, reflecting unfavourable life insurance claims experience, lower investment spreads and strengthened ECL provisions. Corporate and Other core earnings improved by $12 million, primarily driven by lower long-term incentive compensation. Net Income attributed to shareholders of $1.8 billion in 2Q25, $0.7 billion higher compared with 2Q24 The $0.7 billion increase in net income was driven by improved market experience. The net gain from market experience in 2Q25 reflects higher-than-expected returns on public equities and gains from derivatives and hedge accounting ineffectiveness, partially offset by lower-than-expected returns on alternative long-duration assets, mainly related to real estate and private equity investments. Continued momentum in insurance new business results and positive net flows in Global WAM APE sales, new business CSM and NBV increased 15%, 37% and 20%, respectively, reflecting continued sales momentum and margin expansions Asia continued to generate strong growth in APE sales, new business CSM and NBV, with a year-over-year increase of 31%, 34% and 28%, respectively, reflecting higher sales volumes in Hong Kong and Asia Other.17 NBV margin of 40.0% was approximately in line with the prior year quarter and increased sequentially. In Canada, APE sales decreased 34%, as strong participating life insurance sales were more than offset by the non-recurrence of a large-case Group Insurance sale in 2Q24. These sales results, combined with a more favourable product mix, drove a 1% increase in NBV. New business CSM increased 32%, reflecting the strong sales growth in Individual Insurance. U.S. delivered strong new business growth this quarter, increasing APE sales, new business CSM and NBV by 40%, 59% and 12%, respectively, reflecting continued demand for our accumulation insurance products. Global WAM net inflows of $0.9 billion in 2Q25, $0.8 billion higher compared with net inflows of $0.1 billion in 2Q24 Retirement net inflows of $2.0 billion in 2Q25 increased compared with net outflows of $1.3 billion in 2Q24, reflecting higher retirement plan sales across all geographies and a large-case retirement plan redemption in the U.S. in 2Q24. Retail net outflows of $3.2 billion in 2Q25 increased compared with net outflows of $0.1 billion in 2Q24, driven by lower net sales through third-party intermediaries in North America and in money markets funds in mainland China. This is partially offset by higher net sales through our retail wealth platform. Institutional Asset Management net inflows of $2.1 billion in 2Q25 increased compared with net inflows of $1.4 billion in 2Q24, driven by lower redemptions in fixed income mandates, partially offset by higher redemptions in equity mandates. New business growth continued to drive higher organic CSM and CSM balance CSM18 was $22,316 million as at June 30, 2025 CSM increased $189 million compared with December 31, 2024. Organic CSM movement contributed $1,162 million of the increase for the first half of 2025, representing an 11%6 growth on an annualized basis, primarily driven by the impact of new business, interest accretion and net favourable insurance experience, partially offset by amortization recognized in core earnings. Inorganic CSM movement was a decrease of $973 million for the same period, primarily driven by the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Post-tax CSM net of NCI2 was $18,527 million as at June 30, 2025. __________ (1) Highest potential businesses include Asia segment, Global Wealth and Asset Management, Canada group benefits and North American behavioural insurance products.

See section A7 "Global Minimum Tax (GMT)" in our 2Q25 MD&A for more information. Global Minimum Taxes ("GMT") On June 20, 2024, the Canadian government passed the Global Minimum Tax Act into law. Canada's GMT is applied retroactively to fiscal periods commencing on or after December 31, 2023. As additional local jurisdictions are expected to enact the GMT in 2025, GMT is now recognized in net income in the reporting segments whose earnings are subject to this tax. GMT is reported in both core earnings and items excluded from core earnings in line with our definition of core earnings in section E3 "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" of the 2Q25 MD&A. To improve the comparability of results between 2025 and 2024, we have updated certain 2024 non-GAAP and other financial measures to reflect the impact of GMT, including quarterly core earnings, core ROE, core EPS, financial leverage ratio, adjusted book value per common share, new business value, and post-tax CSM net of NCI. For further information and a complete list of the impacted financial measures, please see section A7 "Global Minimum Taxes (GMT)" of the 2Q25 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference. Non-GAAP and other financial measures The Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. We use a number of non-GAAP and other financial measures to evaluate overall performance and to assess each of our businesses. This section includes information required by National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure in respect of "specified financial measures" (as defined therein). Non-GAAP financial measures include core earnings (loss); core earnings excluding the impact of the change in ECL; core earnings available to common shareholders excluding the impact of the change in ECL; core earnings available to common shareholders; core earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("core EBITDA"); core expenses; adjusted book value; post-tax contractual service margin; post-tax contractual service margin net of NCI ("post-tax CSM net of NCI"); assets under management ("AUM"); and core revenue. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures include the following stated on a constant exchange rate ("CER") basis: any of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures; net income attributed to shareholders; and common shareholders' net income. Non-GAAP ratios include core return on common shareholders' equity ("core ROE"); diluted core earnings per common share ("core EPS"); diluted core earnings per common share excluding the impact of the change in ECL ("core EPS excluding the impact of the change in ECL"); expense efficiency ratio; adjusted book value per common share; financial leverage ratio; core EBITDA margin; and percentage growth/decline on a constant exchange rate basis in any of the above non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios; net income attributed to shareholders; diluted earnings per common share ("EPS"), CSM, and new business CSM. Other specified financial measures include NBV; APE sales; gross flows; net flows; average assets under management and administration ("average AUMA"); NBV margin; and percentage growth/decline in these foregoing specified financial measures. In addition, explanations of the components of the CSM movement, other than the new business CSM were provided in the 2Q25 MD&A. Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are not standardized financial measures under GAAP and, therefore, might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Therefore, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. For more information on non-GAAP financial measures, including those referred to above, see the section "Non-GAAP and other financial measures" in our 2Q25 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference.

Air Canada Offers 32.5% Increase for Flight Attendants in Contract Talks
Air Canada offered its flight attendants an overall increase of more than 30% over four years ahead of a potential strike, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The union representing the airline's more than 10,000 flight attendants announced Tuesday that its members voted 99.7% to strike, putting them in a legal position to walk off the job as soon as Aug. 16. Airlines usually begin winding down operations and canceling flights days before a potential labor disruption.
