"The devastating effects from severe weather events in the quarter have impacted the lives of tens of thousands of customers.

We are leveraging our competitive advantages, which include On Side Restoration and Intact Service Centres, to minimize losses for our customers. In this context, our operations have shown great financial resiliency, reflected by our strong capital position and mid-teens operating ROE over the last 12 months.

12-Month Industry Outlook
-
We expect the current insurance market conditions to persist, in light of the recent elevated catastrophe losses:
-
In both Personal auto and property, we expect low double-digit premium growth; and
-
In Commercial and Specialty lines across all geographies, we expect mid-single-digit premium growth.

Q3-2024 Consolidated Performance
-
Overall operating DPW increased 4%, with organic growth of 6%, after excluding the net impact from acquisitions and exits. This was led by rate increases and unit growth in hard market conditions across Personal lines. Within Commercial lines, growth was led by rates in the mid-single digits, with market conditions varying by line of business and increased competition in large accounts.
-
Overall combined ratio was elevated at 103.9% after incurring 22 points of catastrophe losses (approximately 17 points in excess of expectations) driven by severe weather events, mainly impacting our Canadian segment. Our results otherwise reflected robust underlying performance (excluding catastrophe losses and prior year development) across all geographies.
-
Operating net investment income of $394 million increased 13% year-over-year, mainly due to higher reinvestment yields captured in 2023.
-
Distribution income of $132 million increased 14% from last year, driven by strong contributions from our M&A activities, along with improved margins within BrokerLink.
Lines of Business
P&C Canada
-
Personal auto operating DPW grew 12%, reflecting rates and continued unit momentum in hard market conditions. The combined ratio of 97.6% included 7 points of catastrophe losses, more than 4 points above expectations. Excluding this, performance was strong, with an underlying improvement of 3 points year-over-year, which offset lower favourable PYD in the quarter.
-
Personal property operating DPW grew by 8%, reflecting rates and unit growth in hard market conditions. The combined ratio of 147.5% was elevated after absorbing 72 points of catastrophe losses in the quarter. This line of business has shown long-term resiliency with an average combined ratio of 90% over the last 10 years.
-
Commercial lines operating DPW grew by 2%, reflecting mid-single-digit rate increases, offset by the impact of continued competition in large accounts. The combined ratio remained solid at 94.4%, as elevated catastrophe losses were largely offset by strong favourable PYD and a very robust underlying performance.
P&C UK&I2
-
Excluding the impact of the UK Personal lines exit, operating DPW growth was 28%, mainly due to the Q4-2023 DLG brokered Commercial lines acquisition. Organic growth was muted in the quarter, as mid-single-digit rate actions and solid new business in Commercial lines were offset by moderating market conditions, particularly in large accounts in specialty lines. The combined ratio remained solid at 91.9%, in line with expectations following the DLG acquisition.
P&C US2
-
Operating DPW grew 4%, reflecting mid-single-digit or better rate actions in most lines of business, offset by the impact of corrective actions taken in certain lines of business. The combined ratio was strong at 87.4% for the quarter, 1 point better than the prior year, reflecting continued underwriting discipline.

Net Operating Income, EPS and ROE
-
Net operating income attributable to common shareholders remained profitable at $182 million after absorbing $1,216 million of catastrophe losses in the quarter. This reflected strong underwriting fundamentals, coupled with solid growth in distribution and investment activities.
-
Earnings Per Share increased year-over-year to $1.06, despite the challenging environment, driven by our diversified sources of income and further supported by gains on our equity securities.
-
Operating ROE was resilient at 15.8%, withstanding the negative impact from catastrophe losses over the past 12 months.
Balance Sheet
-
The Company ended the quarter in a strong financial position, with a robust total capital margin of $2.6 billion despite the heavy catastrophe losses in the quarter. Regulatory capital ratios remained solid in all jurisdictions.
-
Adjusted debt-to-total capital ratio was 20.3% as at September 30, 2024, up slightly from last quarter, following the severe weather events in the period combined with the cancellation of RSA's preferred shares.
-
IFC's book value per share (BVPS) of $90.60 as at September 30, 2024 increased 17% year-over-year, and was 3% higher than Q2-2024, led by solid earnings and market-related gains on our bond portfolio.
