Reported net income of $858 million decreased $79 million or 8% from prior year, driven by less favourable market-related impacts, partially offset by a Q1'21 restructuring charge and lower fair value changes on MFS' share-based payment awards.(1) Underlying net income of $843 million(2) was down slightly, driven by broad-based business growth, higher investment gains and lower Corporate expenses, offset by unfavourable mortality and disability which included impacts from COVID-19, and lower available-for-sale ("AFS") gains.

Canada reported net income of $263 million decreased $142 million or 35% from prior year, primarily reflecting changes in interest rates and lower equity markets, partially offset by an increase in the value of real estate investments and an increase in underlying net income of $13 million. Underlying net income of $298 million increased 5%, driven by business growth and new business gains.

Experience in the quarter consisted of higher investment gains, partially offset by morbidity reflecting longer durations for disability claims, and unfavourable credit impacts.

Canada insurance sales were $332 million, up 42% year-over-year, driven by large case group benefits sales in Sun Life Health. Canada wealth sales were $5 billion, up 11%, driven by defined contribution sales in Group Retirement Services ("GRS"), partially offset by individual wealth sales.

Aligned with our Purpose to help Clients achieve lifetime financial security, we launched Prospr by Sun Life, a hybrid advice solution combining a best-in-class digital platform with a team of licensed advisors, to meet Canadians' personalized and holistic financial planning needs. Prospr by Sun Life makes it easier for Canadians to select, prioritize and track their goals all in one place.

U.S. reported net income of $169 million decreased $42 million or 20% from prior year, reflecting a $53 million decrease in underlying net income. Underlying net income of $118 million decreased 31%, driven by mortality and morbidity, partially offset by business growth.

In the first quarter, COVID-19 impacts of US$30 million ($39 million) were largely driven by elevated group life mortality. Earnings for the quarter also reflected higher long-term disability claims in Group Benefits, offset by higher medical stop-loss margins and investment gains. The trailing four-quarter after-tax profit margin for Group Benefits(3) was 4.9% as of Q1'22 (Q1'21 - 8.1%).

U.S. insurance sales were $148 million, down 4% year-over-year, reflecting a large employee benefits case sale in the prior year, largely offset by a 56% increase in medical stop-loss sales.

During Q1, we launched Benefits Explorer, an interactive platform designed to provide employees with personalized, live educational content and customized tools to help them make well-informed benefits decisions. We also continued to invest in our dental business and digital capabilities by partnering with Teledentistry.com. The service offers members 24/7 virtual access to dental providers, making it easier to get dental care and advice in emergencies while traveling or during evenings and weekends. This complements the recent announcement of our intention to acquire DentaQuest Group Inc. ("DentaQuest"), one of the largest providers of dental benefits in the U.S., and their mission to make oral health accessible to all.

Asset Management reported net income of $308 million increased $78 million or 34% from prior year, driven by lower fair value changes on MFS' share-based payment awards and an increase in underlying net income of $35 million. Underlying net income of $326 million increased 12%, driven by higher results in MFS and SLC Management.

Asset Management ended Q1'22 with $981 billion in AUM, consisting of $796 billion (US$637 billion) in MFS and $185 billion in SLC Management. Total Asset Management net outflows of $2 billion in Q1'22 reflected MFS net outflows of approximately $7 billion (US$5 billion), largely offset by SLC Management net inflows of approximately $5 billion.

The MFS pre-tax net operating profit margin(1) was 39% for Q1'22, consistent with prior year. The SLC Management fee-related earnings margin(1)(2) was 23%, down from 26%.

Through its collective expertise, long-term investing philosophy and active risk management, MFS continues to deliver on its consistent track record as a top-performing active asset manager. For 2021, MFS ranked in the top 10(3) for its 5- and 10-year performance across its U.S. fund line up, marking the 13th time in the last 14 years that MFS has achieved this recognition.

During Q1, Crescent Capital Group LP ("Crescent") closed its third U.S. Direct Lending Fund, raising approximately US$6 billion, more than double the size of the predecessor fund. WELPUT(4), a fund managed by BentallGreenOak ("BGO"), won the 2022 Pension Real Estate Association ("PREA") Closed-End Fund ESG Award. In addition, SLC Management, and its affiliates, BGO and Crescent, have become founding signatories to the CFA Institute's recently launched Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ("DEI") Code in the U.S. and Canada.

Asia reported net income of $161 million decreased $37 million or 19% from prior year, reflecting less favourable market-related impacts. Underlying net income of $152 million decreased $7 million or 4%, reflecting new business strain in Hong Kong largely driven by lower sales as a result of COVID-19 restrictions, partially offset by experience-related items.

Experience in the quarter included higher investment gains, partially offset by higher mortality mainly in International, related to a small number of large claims. Foreign exchange translation led to a $5 million decline in reported net income and underlying net income.

Asia insurance sales were $319 million, down 7% year-over-year, reflecting lower sales in Hong Kong, partially offset by sales growth in India and Singapore. Asia wealth sales were $4 billion, up 7%, driven by higher sales in the Philippines and India, partially offset by lower sales in Hong Kong.

We continue to expand our distribution channels across Asia to better service Clients in our fast-growing markets. In Indonesia, we announced the expansion of our existing bancassurance partnership with CIMB Niaga, Indonesia's second largest privately-owned bank(5). Sun Life will be the provider of all insurance solutions to the bank's seven million customers, across all channels, starting in 2025 through 2039.

Corporate reported net loss of $43 million improved $64 million from prior year, as Q1'21 included a restructuring charge of $57 million. Underlying net loss of $51 million improved by $5 million.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We report certain financial information using non-IFRS financial measures, as we believe that these measures provide information that is useful to investors in understanding our performance and facilitate a comparison of our quarterly and full year results from period to period. These non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures used by other companies. For certain non-IFRS financial measures, there are no directly comparable amounts under IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation from or as alternatives to measures of financial performance determined in accordance with IFRS. Additional information concerning non-IFRS financial measures and, if applicable, reconciliations to the closest IFRS measures are available in Q1 2022 MD&A under the heading M - Non-IFRS Financial Measures, in our annual MD&A under the heading L - Non-IFRS Financial Measures and the Supplementary Financial Information packages that are available on www.sunlife.com under Investors – Financial results and reports.


1. Underlying Net Income and Underlying EPS

Underlying net income (loss) and financial measures based on underlying net income (loss), including underlying EPS or underlying loss per share, and underlying ROE, are non-IFRS financial measures. Underlying net income (loss) removes from reported net income (loss) the impacts of the following items in our results under IFRS and when removed assist in explaining our results from period to period:

(a) 

market-related impacts that differ from our best estimate assumptions, which include: (i) impacts of returns in equity markets, net of hedging, for which our best estimate assumptions are approximately 2% per quarter. This also includes the impact of the basis risk inherent in our hedging program, which is the difference between the return on underlying funds of products that provide benefit guarantees and the return on the derivative assets used to hedge those benefit guarantees; (ii) the impacts of changes in interest rates in the reporting period and on the value of derivative instruments used in our hedging programs including changes in credit and swap spreads, and any changes to the assumed fixed income reinvestment rates in determining the actuarial liabilities; and (iii) the impacts of changes in the fair value of investment properties in the reporting period;

(b)

assumption changes and management actions, which include: (i) the impacts of revisions to the methods and assumptions used in determining our liabilities for insurance contracts and investment contracts; and (ii) the impacts on insurance contracts and investment contracts of actions taken by management in the current reporting period, referred to as management actions which include, for example, changes in the prices of in-force products, new or revised reinsurance on in-force business, and material changes to investment policies for assets supporting our liabilities; and

(c)

other adjustments:


(i)

fair value adjustments on MFS' share-based payment awards that are settled with MFS' own shares and accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair value each reporting period until they are vested, exercised and repurchased - this adjustment enhances the comparability of MFS' results with publicly traded asset managers in the United States;


(ii)

acquisition, integration and restructuring costs - this adjustment enhances comparability of our results from period to period, by removing the impacts of costs, including the unwinding of the discount for certain liabilities related to acquisitions, that are not ongoing in nature and are incurred with the intent to generate benefits in future periods;


(iii)

certain hedges in Canada that do not qualify for hedge accounting - this adjustment enhances the comparability of our results from period to period, as it reduces volatility to the extent it will be offset over the duration of the hedges; and


(iv)

other items that are unusual or exceptional in nature.



All factors discussed in this document that impact our underlying net income are also applicable to reported net income. All EPS measures in this document refer to fully diluted EPS, unless otherwise stated. As noted below, underlying EPS excludes the dilutive impacts of convertible instruments.


The following table sets out the post-tax amounts that were excluded from our underlying net income (loss) and underlying EPS and provides a reconciliation to our reported net income (loss) and EPS based on IFRS.

(1)     Effective January 1, 2022, there was a change in presentation for the fair value adjustments on MFS' share-based payment awards. We have updated prior periods to reflect this
        change in presentation. The post-tax basis presentation was not affected.


Taxes related to underlying net income adjustments may vary from the expected effective tax rate range reflecting the mix of business based on the Company's international
operations.


2. Additional Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Management also uses the following non-IFRS financial measures:


Assets under management. AUM is a non-IFRS financial measure that indicates the size of our company's asset management, wealth, and insurance assets. There is no
standardized financial measure under IFRS. In addition to the most directly comparable IFRS measures, which are the balance of General funds and Segregated funds on our
Statements of Financial Position, AUM also includes Other AUM.


Other AUM is composed of retail, institutional and other-third party assets, as well as general fund and segregated fund assets managed by our joint ventures. In Canada, other
AUM includes Client assets in retail mutual fund products of Sun Life Global Investments. In Asia, other AUM includes Client assets in Hong Kong managed fund products,
International wealth products, Philippines mutual and managed fund products, Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Limited equity and fixed income mutual fund products, Sun Life Everbright
Asset Management products and our joint ventures' general fund and segregated fund assets based on our proportionate equity interest. In Asset Management, other AUM
includes Client assets for retail and institutional Clients, as well as capital raising, such as uncalled commitments and fund leverage in SLC Management. There is no directly
comparable IFRS financial measure.


Effective January 1, 2022, certain components of Other AUM were renamed to "Retail" and "Institutional and managed funds" to align with market naming conventions. Previously,
these components were referred to as Mutual funds and Managed funds, respectively, in our interim and annual MD&A. While labeling changes have modified certain terminology,
the composition of these components has not been affected.

Assumption changes and management actions. In this document the impacts of ACMA on shareholders' net income (after-tax) is included in reported net income and is excluded
from underlying net income, as described in section C - Profitability in the Q1 2022 MD&A.


Note 5.A of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2022 shows the pre-tax impacts of method and assumption changes on shareholders' and
participating policyholders' insurance contract liabilities net of reinsurance assets, excluding changes in other policy liabilities and assets. The view in this document of ACMA is the
impacts on shareholders' reported net income (after-tax). The Consolidated Financial Statements view is a component of the change in total company liabilities.


The following table provides a reconciliation of the differences between the two measures.

        of in-force products, new or revised reinsurance on in-force business, and material changes to investment policies for assets supporting our liabilities. The pre-tax impact of
        management actions to Method and assumption changes on insurance contract liabilities was $nil in Q1'22 (Q1'21 - a decrease of $2 million).

(3)     Adjustments to include the after-tax impacts of method and assumption changes on investment contracts and other policy liabilities, and the pre-tax impact to Method and assumption

From time to time, the Company makes written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws, including the "safe harbour" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements contained in this document include statements (i) relating to our strategies; (ii) relating to the expansion of our bancassurance partnership with CIMB Niaga; (iii) relating to our intention to acquire DentaQuest; (iv) relating to our growth initiatives and other business objectives; (v) relating to the plans we have implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic conditions and their impact on the Company, (vi) that are predictive in nature or that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and (vii) that include words such as "achieve", "aim", "ambition", "anticipate", "aspiration", "assumption", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "goal", "initiatives", "intend", "may", "objective", "outlook", "plan", "project", "seek", "should", "strategy", "strive", "target", "will", and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations. These statements represent our current expectations, estimates, and projections regarding future events and are not historical facts, and remain subject to change, particularly in light of the ongoing and developing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy and its uncertain impact on our business.

Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Future results and shareholder value may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements due to, among other factors, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic conditions on our operations, liquidity, financial conditions or results and the matters set out in Q1 2022 MD&A under the headings C - Profitability - 5 - Income taxes, E - Financial Strength and H - Risk Management and in SLF Inc.'s 2021 AIF under the heading Risk Factors, and the factors detailed in SLF Inc.'s other filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators, which are available for review at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov, respectively.

Important risk factors that could cause our assumptions and estimates, and expectations and projections to be inaccurate and our actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this document, are set out below. The realization of our forward-looking statements, essentially depends on our business performance which, in turn, is subject to many risks, which have been further heightened with the current COVID-19 pandemic given the uncertainty of its duration and impact. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to: market risks - related to the performance of equity markets; changes or volatility in interest rates or credit spreads or swap spreads; real estate investments; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; insurance risks - related to policyholder behaviour; mortality experience, morbidity experience and longevity; product design and pricing; the impact of higher-than-expected future expenses; and the availability, cost and effectiveness of reinsurance; credit risks - related to issuers of securities held in our investment portfolio, debtors, structured securities, reinsurers, counterparties, other financial institutions and other entities; business and strategic risks - related to global economic and political conditions; the design and implementation of business strategies; changes in distribution channels or Client behaviour including risks relating to market conduct by intermediaries and agents; the impact of competition; the performance of our investments and investment portfolios managed for Clients such as segregated and mutual funds; changes in the legal or regulatory environment, including capital requirements and tax laws; the environment, environmental laws and regulations; operational risks - related to breaches or failure of information system security and privacy, including cyber-attacks; our ability to attract and retain employees; legal, regulatory compliance and market conduct, including the impact of regulatory inquiries and investigations; the execution and integration of mergers, acquisitions, strategic investments and divestitures; our information technology infrastructure; a failure of information systems and Internet-enabled technology; dependence on third-party relationships, including outsourcing arrangements; business continuity; model errors; information management; liquidity risks - the possibility that we will not be able to fund all cash outflow commitments as they fall due; and other risks - COVID-19 matters, including the severity, duration and spread of COVID-19; its impact on the global economy, and its impact on Sun Life's business, financial condition and or results; risks associated with IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments; our international operations, including our joint ventures; market conditions that affect our capital position or ability to raise capital; downgrades in financial strength or credit ratings; and tax matters, including estimates and judgements used in calculating taxes.

The following risk factors are related to our intention to purchase DentaQuest that could have a material adverse effect on our forward-looking statements: (1) the ability of the parties to complete the transaction; (2) failure of the parties to obtain necessary consents and approvals or to otherwise satisfy the conditions to the completion of the transaction in a timely manner, or at all; (3) our ability to realize the financial and strategic benefits of the transaction; and (4) the impact of the announcement of the transaction and the dedication of our and DentaQuest's resources to completing the transaction. These risks all could have an impact on our business relationships (including with future and prospective employees, Clients, distributors and partners) and could have a material adverse effect on our current and future operations, financial conditions and prospects.

The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

Заявленная чистая прибыль в размере 858 миллионов долларов снизилась на 79 миллионов долларов, или на 8%, по сравнению с предыдущим годом, что обусловлено менее благоприятными рыночными последствиями, частично компенсируемыми расходами на реструктуризацию в 1 квартале 21 года и более низкими изменениями справедливой стоимости выплат MFS, основанных на акциях.(1) Базовая чистая прибыль в размере 843 миллионов долларов США (2) немного снизилась, что было обусловлено широким ростом бизнеса, более высокой прибылью от инвестиций и более низкими корпоративными расходами, компенсируемыми неблагоприятной смертностью и инвалидизацией, включая последствия COVID-19, и более низкой прибылью, имеющейся в наличии для продажи ("AFS").).

Канада сообщила, что чистая прибыль в размере 263 миллионов долларов снизилась на 142 миллиона долларов или на 35% по сравнению с предыдущим годом, что в основном отражает изменения процентных ставок и снижение фондовых рынков, частично компенсированное увеличением стоимости инвестиций в недвижимость и увеличением базовой чистой прибыли на 13 миллионов долларов. Базовая чистая прибыль в размере 298 миллионов долларов увеличилась на 5% благодаря росту бизнеса и новым прибылям в бизнесе.

Опыт квартала состоял из более высокой инвестиционной прибыли, частично компенсированной заболеваемостью, отражающей более длительные сроки подачи заявлений на получение инвалидности, и неблагоприятных кредитных последствий.

Объем продаж страховых услуг в Канаде составил 332 миллиона долларов, что на 42% больше по сравнению с аналогичным периодом прошлого года, что обусловлено крупными продажами пособий для групп пациентов в Sun Life Health. Продажи активов в Канаде составили 5 миллиардов долларов, увеличившись на 11%, благодаря продажам с установленными взносами в Групповых пенсионных службах ("GRS"), частично компенсированным продажами индивидуальных активов.

Руководствуясь нашей целью помочь Клиентам достичь пожизненной финансовой безопасности, мы запустили Prospr от Sun Life, гибридное консультационное решение, сочетающее лучшую в своем классе цифровую платформу с командой лицензированных консультантов, для удовлетворения индивидуальных и целостных потребностей канадцев в финансовом планировании. Prospr от Sun Life облегчает канадцам выбор, определение приоритетов и отслеживание своих целей в одном месте.

Чистая прибыль в США в размере 169 миллионов долларов снизилась на 42 миллиона долларов или на 20% по сравнению с предыдущим годом, что отражает снижение базовой чистой прибыли на 53 миллиона долларов. Базовая чистая прибыль в размере 118 миллионов долларов снизилась на 31% из-за смертности и заболеваемости, что частично компенсировалось ростом бизнеса.

В первом квартале последствия COVID-19 в размере 30 миллионов долларов США (39 миллионов долларов США) были в значительной степени обусловлены повышенной групповой смертностью. Прибыль за квартал также отразила более высокие требования по долгосрочной нетрудоспособности в рамках групповых пособий, компенсированных более высокой маржой по медицинским страховкам и прибылью от инвестиций. Конечная маржа прибыли за четыре квартала после уплаты налогов для Групповых льгот(3) составила 4,9% по состоянию на 1'22 квартал (1'21 квартал - 8,1%).

Продажи страховых полисов в США составили 148 миллионов долларов, что на 4% меньше по сравнению с аналогичным периодом прошлого года, что отражает большую продажу страховых полисов работникам в предыдущем году, что в значительной степени компенсировалось увеличением продаж медицинских страховок на 56%.

В первом квартале мы запустили Benefits Explorer, интерактивную платформу, предназначенную для предоставления сотрудникам персонализированного образовательного контента в реальном времени и настраиваемых инструментов, которые помогут им принимать обоснованные решения о льготах. Мы также продолжали инвестировать в наш стоматологический бизнес и цифровые возможности, сотрудничая с Teledentistry.com . Сервис предлагает пользователям виртуальный доступ к поставщикам стоматологических услуг в режиме 24/7, что облегчает получение стоматологической помощи и консультаций в чрезвычайных ситуациях во время путешествий или по вечерам и выходным. Это дополняет недавнее объявление о нашем намерении приобрести DentaQuest Group Inc. ("DentaQuest"), одного из крупнейших поставщиков стоматологических услуг в США, и их миссию сделать гигиену полости рта доступной для всех.

Управление активами сообщило о чистой прибыли в размере 308 миллионов долларов, увеличившись на 78 миллионов долларов или на 34% по сравнению с предыдущим годом, что обусловлено более низкими изменениями справедливой стоимости выплат MFS, основанных на акциях, и увеличением базовой чистой прибыли на 35 миллионов долларов. Базовая чистая прибыль в размере 326 миллионов долларов увеличилась на 12%, чему способствовали более высокие результаты в управлении MFS и SLC.

Управление активами завершило 1 квартал 22 года с 981 миллиардом долларов в AUM, включая 796 миллиардов долларов (637 миллиардов долларов США) в MFS и 185 миллиардов долларов в SLC Management. Общий чистый отток средств от управления активами в размере 2 миллиардов долларов в 1 квартале 22 года отражает чистый отток средств MFS в размере около 7 миллиардов долларов (5 миллиардов долларов США), что в значительной степени компенсируется чистым притоком средств от Управления SLC в размере около 5 миллиардов долларов.

Маржа чистой операционной прибыли MFS до налогообложения(1) составила 39% за 1 квартал 22 года, что соответствует предыдущему году. Маржа прибыли, связанная с вознаграждением за управление SLC(1)(2), составила 23% по сравнению с 26%.

Благодаря своему коллективному опыту, философии долгосрочного инвестирования и активному управлению рисками MFS продолжает демонстрировать свой неизменный послужной список в качестве высокоэффективного активного управляющего активами. В 2021 году MFS вошла в топ-10 (3) по своим 5- и 10-летним показателям по всей линейке фондов в США, что стало 13-м разом за последние 14 лет, когда MFS добилась такого признания.

В течение первого квартала Crescent Capital Group LP ("Crescent") закрыла свой третий Фонд прямого кредитования в США, привлекший около 6 миллиардов долларов США, что более чем вдвое превышает размер предыдущего фонда. WELPUT(4), фонд, управляемый BentallGreenOak ("BGO"), выиграл Ассоциацию пенсионной недвижимости 2022 года ("PREA") Премия ESG Закрытого фонда. Кроме того, SLC Management и ее филиалы, BGO и Crescent, стали учредителями, подписавшими недавно запущенный CFA Institute Кодекс разнообразия, справедливости и инклюзивности ("DEI") в США и Канаде.

Азия сообщила, что чистая прибыль в размере 161 миллиона долларов снизилась на 37 миллионов долларов или на 19% по сравнению с предыдущим годом, что отражает менее благоприятные рыночные последствия. Базовая чистая прибыль в размере 152 миллионов долларов снизилась на 7 миллионов долларов, или на 4%, что отражает новую напряженность в бизнесе в Гонконге, в основном вызванную снижением продаж в результате ограничений, связанных с COVID-19, что частично компенсируется статьями, связанными с опытом.

Опыт квартала включал более высокую инвестиционную прибыль, частично компенсируемую более высокой смертностью, в основном в международных, связанной с небольшим количеством крупных претензий. Пересчет иностранной валюты привел к снижению заявленной чистой прибыли и базовой чистой прибыли на 5 миллионов долларов.

Продажи страхования в Азии составили 319 миллионов долларов, что на 7% меньше по сравнению с аналогичным периодом прошлого года, что отражает снижение продаж в Гонконге, частично компенсированное ростом продаж в Индии и Сингапуре. Продажи Asia wealth составили 4 миллиарда долларов, увеличившись на 7%, благодаря росту продаж на Филиппинах и в Индии, частично компенсированному снижением продаж в Гонконге.

Мы продолжаем расширять наши каналы дистрибуции по всей Азии, чтобы лучше обслуживать клиентов на наших быстрорастущих рынках. В Индонезии мы объявили о расширении нашего существующего партнерства в области банковского страхования с CIMB Niaga, вторым по величине частным банком Индонезии(5). Sun Life будет предоставлять все страховые решения семи миллионам клиентов банка по всем каналам, начиная с 2025 по 2039 год.

Корпорация сообщила о чистом убытке в размере 43 миллионов долларов, что на 64 миллиона долларов больше, чем в предыдущем году, поскольку в 1 квартале 21 года были включены расходы на реструктуризацию в размере 57 миллионов долларов. Базовый чистый убыток в размере 51 миллиона долларов увеличился на 5 миллионов долларов.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We report certain financial information using non-IFRS financial measures, as we believe that these measures provide information that is useful to investors in understanding our performance and facilitate a comparison of our quarterly and full year results from period to period. These non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures used by other companies. For certain non-IFRS financial measures, there are no directly comparable amounts under IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation from or as alternatives to measures of financial performance determined in accordance with IFRS. Additional information concerning non-IFRS financial measures and, if applicable, reconciliations to the closest IFRS measures are available in Q1 2022 MD&A under the heading M - Non-IFRS Financial Measures, in our annual MD&A under the heading L - Non-IFRS Financial Measures and the Supplementary Financial Information packages that are available on www.sunlife.com under Investors – Financial results and reports.


1. Underlying Net Income and Underlying EPS

Underlying net income (loss) and financial measures based on underlying net income (loss), including underlying EPS or underlying loss per share, and underlying ROE, are non-IFRS financial measures. Underlying net income (loss) removes from reported net income (loss) the impacts of the following items in our results under IFRS and when removed assist in explaining our results from period to period:

(a) 

market-related impacts that differ from our best estimate assumptions, which include: (i) impacts of returns in equity markets, net of hedging, for which our best estimate assumptions are approximately 2% per quarter. This also includes the impact of the basis risk inherent in our hedging program, which is the difference between the return on underlying funds of products that provide benefit guarantees and the return on the derivative assets used to hedge those benefit guarantees; (ii) the impacts of changes in interest rates in the reporting period and on the value of derivative instruments used in our hedging programs including changes in credit and swap spreads, and any changes to the assumed fixed income reinvestment rates in determining the actuarial liabilities; and (iii) the impacts of changes in the fair value of investment properties in the reporting period;

(b)

assumption changes and management actions, which include: (i) the impacts of revisions to the methods and assumptions used in determining our liabilities for insurance contracts and investment contracts; and (ii) the impacts on insurance contracts and investment contracts of actions taken by management in the current reporting period, referred to as management actions which include, for example, changes in the prices of in-force products, new or revised reinsurance on in-force business, and material changes to investment policies for assets supporting our liabilities; and

(c)

other adjustments:


(i)

fair value adjustments on MFS' share-based payment awards that are settled with MFS' own shares and accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair value each reporting period until they are vested, exercised and repurchased - this adjustment enhances the comparability of MFS' results with publicly traded asset managers in the United States;


(ii)

acquisition, integration and restructuring costs - this adjustment enhances comparability of our results from period to period, by removing the impacts of costs, including the unwinding of the discount for certain liabilities related to acquisitions, that are not ongoing in nature and are incurred with the intent to generate benefits in future periods;


(iii)

certain hedges in Canada that do not qualify for hedge accounting - this adjustment enhances the comparability of our results from period to period, as it reduces volatility to the extent it will be offset over the duration of the hedges; and


(iv)

other items that are unusual or exceptional in nature.



All factors discussed in this document that impact our underlying net income are also applicable to reported net income. All EPS measures in this document refer to fully diluted EPS, unless otherwise stated. As noted below, underlying EPS excludes the dilutive impacts of convertible instruments.


The following table sets out the post-tax amounts that were excluded from our underlying net income (loss) and underlying EPS and provides a reconciliation to our reported net income (loss) and EPS based on IFRS.

2. Additional Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Management also uses the following non-IFRS financial measures:


Assets under management. AUM is a non-IFRS financial measure that indicates the size of our company's asset management, wealth, and insurance assets. There is no
standardized financial measure under IFRS. In addition to the most directly comparable IFRS measures, which are the balance of General funds and Segregated funds on our
Statements of Financial Position, AUM also includes Other AUM.


Other AUM is composed of retail, institutional and other-third party assets, as well as general fund and segregated fund assets managed by our joint ventures. In Canada, other
AUM includes Client assets in retail mutual fund products of Sun Life Global Investments. In Asia, other AUM includes Client assets in Hong Kong managed fund products,
International wealth products, Philippines mutual and managed fund products, Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Limited equity and fixed income mutual fund products, Sun Life Everbright
Asset Management products and our joint ventures' general fund and segregated fund assets based on our proportionate equity interest. In Asset Management, other AUM
includes Client assets for retail and institutional Clients, as well as capital raising, such as uncalled commitments and fund leverage in SLC Management. There is no directly
comparable IFRS financial measure.


Effective January 1, 2022, certain components of Other AUM were renamed to "Retail" and "Institutional and managed funds" to align with market naming conventions. Previously,
these components were referred to as Mutual funds and Managed funds, respectively, in our interim and annual MD&A. While labeling changes have modified certain terminology,
the composition of these components has not been affected.

Assumption changes and management actions. In this document the impacts of ACMA on shareholders' net income (after-tax) is included in reported net income and is excluded
from underlying net income, as described in section C - Profitability in the Q1 2022 MD&A.


Note 5.A of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2022 shows the pre-tax impacts of method and assumption changes on shareholders' and
participating policyholders' insurance contract liabilities net of reinsurance assets, excluding changes in other policy liabilities and assets. The view in this document of ACMA is the
impacts on shareholders' reported net income (after-tax). The Consolidated Financial Statements view is a component of the change in total company liabilities.
