Non-IFRS and Additional Financial Measures
iA Financial Corporation and iA Insurance report their financial results and statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). They also publish certain
financial measures or ratios that are not based on IFRS ("non-IFRS"). A financial measure is considered a non-IFRS measure for Canadian securities law purposes if it is presented other
than in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") used for the Company's audited financial statements. The Company uses non-IFRS measures when
evaluating its results and measuring its performance. The Company believes that non-IFRS measures provide additional information to better understand its financial results and assess its
growth and earnings potential, and that they facilitate comparison of the quarterly and full year results of the Company's ongoing operations. Since non-IFRS measures do not have
standardized definitions and meaning, they may differ from the non-IFRS financial measures used by other institutions and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of financial
performance determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company strongly encourages investors to review its financial statements and other publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to
rely on any single financial measure. These non-IFRS measures are often accompanied by and reconciled with IFRS financial measures. For certain non-IFRS measures, there are no directly
comparable amounts under IFRS.
Regulation 52-112 respecting Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure from the Canadian Securities Administrators ("Regulation 52-112") establishes disclosure
requirements that apply, respectively, to each of the following categories of non-IFRS measures used by iA Financial Corporation:
Non-IFRS financial measures, which depict the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow, and with respect to their composition, exclude an
amount that is included in, or includes an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the Company's financial
statements.
Non-IFRS ratios, which are in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage, or similar representation, have a non-IFRS financial measure as one or more of their components and are not
disclosed in the Company's financial statements.
Supplementary financial measures, which are disclosed on a periodic basis to depict historical or expected future financial performance, financial position, or cash flow and are not
disclosed in the Company's financial statements.
Capital management measures, which are financial measures intended to enable the reader to evaluate the Company's objectives, policies, and processes for managing its capital.
Segment measures, which combine financial measures for two or more reportable segments of the Company and are not disclosed in the Company's financial statements.
Below is a description of the non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios and supplementary financial measures used by the Company. Additional information is provided, along with a
description of the reconciliation to the closest IFRS measure, where applicable.
