Basis of Presentation
All amounts in this document are presented in millions of Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. We prepare our unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
using International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the accounting requirements of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions ("OSFI") and in
accordance with the International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued and adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board
("IASB"). Reported net income (loss) refers to common shareholders' net income (loss) determined in accordance with IFRS.
This document and the Q3 2023 MD&A contain certain amounts that are presented on a net basis to reflect how management views the business, compared to a gross
basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Examples include:
(1) Within the Drivers of Earnings: i) Net investment result and Other expenses of the Asset Management operating segment are combined with Fee Income to report the
net contribution to earnings; ii) Income for fee-based businesses is reported net of the associated expenses; iii) Carried interest in SLC Management excludes the carried
interest that Sun Life does not participate in economically, and nets the non-controlling interest against fee income and expenses of consolidated funds; iv) Net investment
results include assets returns net of the crediting rate for investment contract liabilities and the unwinding of and changes in the discount rate for insurance contract
liabilities; v) Earnings on surplus reflects net spread earned from investment strategies; vi) Earnings attributable to the participating account are excluded; and vii)
Assumption changes and management actions combines the amounts included in Net insurance service result and Net investment result.
(2) Within the CSM Movement Analysis: i) The impacts of insurance contracts issued is presented net of reinsurance; ii) Impact of new business is presented net of
acquisition expense gain/loss; and iii) Certain methodology changes are presented as an impact of change in assumptions, whereas the Consolidated Financial Statement
presentation is a contract modification.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Sun Life prepares annual and interim financial statements using IFRS. We report certain financial information that are not based on IFRS (“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 the Company’s annual and interim MD&A and the Supplementary Financial Information packages on www.sunlife.com under Investors – Financial results and reports.
• Assumptions changes and management actions (ACMA) – captures the impact of method and assumption changes, and management actions on insurance and reinsurance contracts.
• Other adjustments:
i. Management’s ownership of MFS shares – this adjustment removes the change in fair value and other activity related to MFS common shares owned by management;
ii. Acquisition, integration, and restructuring - expense and income related to acquisition or disposal of a business. Also includes expenses related to restructuring activities;
Intangible asset amortization - removes the amortization expense associated with finite life intangible assets arising from acquisitions or business combinations excluding
iii. amortization of software and distribution agreements; and
iv. Other – represents items that are unusual or exceptional in nature which management believes are not representative of the long-term performance of the Company.
Refer to Net Income Reconciliations - Pre-Tax and Post-Tax in the appendix of this document for the non-underlying adjustments from underlying net income to reported net income, as well
as Section N. Non-IFRS Financial Measures, 2. Underlying Net Income and Underlying EPS and 4. Reconciliations of Select Non-IFRS Financial Measures of the Company's Q3 2023
MD&A.
For more information about business types in Sun Life's operating segments/business groups, see the General Information section of this document and Section A. How We Report Our
Results under the heading Underlying Net Income by Business Types of the Company's Q3 2023 MD&A.
• Impact of new insurance business on CSM, also referred to as "new business CSM", represents growth from sales activity in the period, including individual protection sales (excluding
joint ventures), and defined benefit solutions and segregated fund wealth sales in Canada. New business CSM is presented net of acquisition expense gain/loss.
Expected movements from asset returns & locked-in rates applies to variable fee approach (VFA) and general measurement approach (GMA) contracts. For VFA contracts, this
component of the CSM movement analysis is comprised of two factors: (i) the expected return on underlying assets and (ii) the measurement of financial guarantees. The difference
• between actual and expected results are reported as the impact of markets. For GMA contracts, this component of the CSM includes the accretion of the CSM balance at locked-in
rates, which refer to the term structure associated with locked-in discount rates, set when the insurance contract was sold or on transition to IFRS 17. Average locked-in rates increase
with the passage of time on in-force business and new business added at current rates.
• Impact of markets & other includes the difference between actual and expected movement for VFA contracts for: (i) the return on underlying assets and (ii) the measurement of
financial guarantees. Also includes other amounts excluded from Organic CSM Movement.
• Insurance experience gains/losses represents the current period impacts of insurance experience, resulting in a change in future cash flows that adjust CSM.
• Impact of change in assumptions represents the future period impacts of changes in fulfilment cash flows that adjust CSM.
(1)
For fixed income assets, Underlying net income includes credit experience from rating changes on assets measured at FVTPL, and the Expected credit loss (ECL) impact for assets measured at Fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI).
(2)
Underlying net income is based on observable discount curves and exchange rates at the beginning of the period.
(3)
Underlying net income for earnings on surplus includes realized gains (losses) on fixed income assets classified as FVOCI.

OSFI's 2023 LICAT Guideline, effective January 1, 2023, specifies that available capital for LICAT purposes includes the Contractual Service Margin. Prior period restatement and resubmissions are not mandated.
(2)
Effective January 1, 2023, the definition of Capital was updated to include the Contractual Service Margin balance. Capital has not been restated for periods in 2022 and earlier as IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 were not the accounting standards in
effect and therefore, were not applicable to our capital management practices at the time.

Innovative capital instruments, which represent SLEECS issued by Sun Life Capital Trust, are presented net of associated transaction costs. SLEEC securities qualify as capital for Canadian Regulatory purposes.

Sun Life has a diversified mix of businesses and our earnings by business type supports the analysis of our results:
• Wealth & asset management: Sun Life’s wealth & asset management businesses generate fee income and/or spread on investment products.
• Group - Health & Protection: Group businesses provide health and protection benefits to employer and government plan members. The products generally have shorter-term coverage periods, and more frequent repricing. The
revenues are driven by premiums for coverage provided as well as fee-based earnings (i.e., Administrative Services Only plans, and dental fees).
• Individual - Protection: Generally, individual protection businesses have a longer-term profitability profile and are more sensitive to experience trends. The premiums include a margin for providing protection and are invested to
earn a return over the expected amounts required to fulfill insurance liabilities.
The following provides an overview of the business types in Sun Life's business segments/business groups:

Additional Non-IFRS Financial Measures Glossary
In addition to the non-IFRS financial measures described on page 1 of this document (Underlying net income, Underlying Diluted EPS, the Drivers of Earnings analysis,
and the CSM Movement Analysis), Sun Life also uses the following non-IFRS financial measures:
(1) After-tax profit margin for U.S. Group Benefits. This ratio expresses U.S. Group Benefits underlying net income as a percentage of net premiums. It assists in
explaining our results from period to period and measures profitability. This ratio is calculated by dividing underlying net income by net premiums for the trailing four
quarters. There is no directly comparable IFRS measure. Refer to U.S. Group Benefits Reported Net Income to Underlying Net Income section in the appendix of this
document.
(2) Assets under administration (AUA). AUA represents Client assets for which Sun Life provides administrative services. In Canada, AUA includes mutual fund dealers'
assets in Individual Wealth and administrative services assets in Group Retirement Services. In Asia, AUA includes administrative services assets in China and Hong
Kong. In SLC Management, AUA includes assets distributed by SLC Management's affiliate, Advisors Asset Management Inc. There is no standardized financial measure
under IFRS.
(3) Assets under management (AUM). AUM is a non-IFRS financial measure that indicates the size of the Company's assets across asset management, wealth and
insurance. 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 Third-party AUM and Consolidation adjustments.
(4) Assets under management and administration (AUMA) consists of both AUA and AUM, as defined above, and there is no standardized financial measure under IFRS.
(5) AUM not yet earning fees. This measure represents the committed uninvested capital portion of total AUM not currently earning management fees. The amount
depends on the specific terms and conditions of each fund. There is no directly comparable IFRS measure.
(6) Capital raising. This measure consists of increases in SLC Management's commitments from fund raising activities for all real estate, infrastructure and alternative
credit Clients excluding leverage. Investment-grade fixed income capital raising consists of sales made to new Clients. There is no directly comparable IFRS measure.
(7) Constant currency. We remove the impacts of foreign exchange translation from certain IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures to assist in comparing our results from
period to period. The impacts of foreign exchange translation are approximated by using the foreign exchange rates in effect during the comparative period, using the
average or period end foreign exchange rates, as appropriate. Constant currency reconciliation for Reported net income and Reported earnings per share - diluted are as
follows:
Q3 2023 Reported net income at Q3 2022 constant dollar $ 854 million Q3 2023 Reported earnings per share at Q3 2022 constant dollar $ 1.46
Currency impact relative to Q3 2022 exchange rates $ 17 million Currency impact per share relative to Q3 2022 exchange rates $ 0.02
Q3 2023 Reported net income - actual $ 871 million Q3 2023 Reported earnings per share - actual $ 1.48
(8) Deployment. This measure represents the amount of capital that has been invested in the period, including leverage where applicable. Deployment also includes
capital committed in infrastructure deals to be invested in specific assets. There is no directly comparable IFRS measure.
(9) Dividend yield. This measure is calculated as the annualized dividend per share in the quarter over the daily average share price in the quarter. The annual dividend
calculation represents the dividend paid in the year over the daily average share price for the year.
(10) Fee earning AUM (FE AUM). FE AUM consists of assets managed by SLC Management, which are beneficially owned by Clients, on which we earn management
fees for providing investment management, property management or advisory-related services. There is no directly comparable IFRS measure.
(11) Financial Leverage ratio. This ratio is an indicator of the Company's balance sheet strength measured by its proportion of capital qualifying debt in accordance with
OSFI guidelines. This is calculated as the ratio of total debt plus preferred shares and other equity instruments to total capital including the contractual service margin net
of taxes, where debt consists of all capital-qualifying debt securities. Capital-qualifying debt securities consist of subordinated debt and innovative capital instruments. The
CSM is included net of taxes because debts are repaid and serviced from available after-tax funds.
(12) Impacts of foreign exchange translation. To assist in comparing our results from period-to-period, the favourable or unfavourable impacts of foreign exchange
translation are approximated using the foreign exchange rates, in effect during the comparative period, for several IFRS and Non-IFRS financial measures using the
average or period end foreign exchange rates, as appropriate. Items impacting a reporting period, such as Total revenue, Expenses, and Reported net income (loss) in our
Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as Underlying net income (loss), and Sales, are translated into Canadian dollars using average exchange rates for the
appropriate daily, monthly, or quarterly period. For Assets and Liabilities in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, as well as the AUM, and certain components
of the Drivers of Earnings disclosure, period-end rates are used for currency translation purposes.
(13) Net Premiums. This measure provides a better understanding of the growth in the group businesses in Canada and the U.S. Net premiums include gross insurance
and annuity premiums adjusted for unearned premiums, experience-rated refund premiums, premium taxes and associated ceded amounts.
(14) Pre-tax fee-related earnings margin. This ratio is a measure of SLC Management's profitability in relation to funds that earn recurring fee revenues, while excluding
investment income and performance fees. The ratio is calculated by dividing fee-related earnings by fee-related revenues and is based on the last twelve months. There is
no directly comparable IFRS measure.
(15) Pre-tax net operating margin. This ratio is a measure of profitability and there is no directly comparable IFRS measure. For MFS, this ratio is calculated by excluding
management's ownership of MFS shares, compensation-related equity plan adjustments and certain commission expenses that are offsetting. These commission
expenses are excluded in order to neutralize the impact these items have on the pre-tax net operating margin and have no impact on the profitability of MFS. For SLC
Management, the ratio is calculated by dividing the total operating income by fee-related revenue plus investment income (loss) and performance fees, and is based on
the last twelve months.
(16) Pre-tax gross operating margin for MFS. This ratio is a measure of profitability, which excludes management's ownership of MFS shares and compensation-related
equity plan adjustments. There is no directly comparable IFRS measure.

Additional Non-IFRS Financial Measures Glossary Continued
(20) Tangible book value per share. This measure is used to assess the value of our businesses, which is calculated as tangible common shareholders’ equity divided by
the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Tangible common shareholders’ equity excludes goodwill and acquired intangible assets and other
adjustments, net of related deferred taxes for the period. Other adjustments include imputed goodwill & intangible assets of $318 million from Asia joint ventures and $(1.3)
billion related to the future purchase of the remaining ownership interest in SLC Management affiliates; as well as $490 million prepayment on Indonesia's bancassurance
that would be capitalized as an intangible asset once the agreement becomes effective in 2025.
(21) Third-party AUM. Third-party AUM is composed of retail, institutional and other third-party assets, which includes general fund and segregated fund assets managed
by our joint ventures. In Asset Management, third-party 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 measure. In Canada, third-party AUM includes Client assets in retail mutual
fund products of SLGI Asset Management Inc. In the U.S., third-party AUM includes third-party investors in a pool of mortgage loans. In Asia, third-party AUM includes
Client assets in Hong Kong managed fund products, International wealth products, the Philippines mutual and managed fund products, Aditya Birla Sun Life Asset
Management Company 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.
(22) Total weighted premium income (TWPI). This measure consists of 100% renewal premiums, 100% of first year premiums, and 10% of single premiums. In contrast to
sales, which only includes premiums from new business, TWPI includes renewal premiums, reflecting the strength of the in-force block and providing a better
understanding of both new and existing business. There is no directly comparable IFRS measure.
(23) Underlying dividend payout ratio. This is the ratio of the dividends paid per share to diluted underlying EPS for the period. This ratio is utilized during the medium-term
capital budgeting process to inform our planned capital initiatives. We target an underlying dividend payout ratio of between 40% to 50% based on underlying EPS. For
more information, see Section I - Capital and Liquidity Management of the Company's 2022 Annual MD&A.
The SLC Management Supplemental Income Statement enhances the comparability of SLC Management's results with publicly traded alternative asset managers.
Additional metrics provided are considered non-IFRS financial measures. Fee-related revenue represents all fee income, with the exception of performance fees,
generated from third-party investors. Management fees represent fund management fees from the third-party investors. Distribution fees represent third-party income
earned from Advisors Asset Management Inc.'s distribution business, based on assets under administration. Property management, transaction, advisory and other
fees represent other fee revenues which exclude management fees and performance fees, generated from third-party investors. Fee-related expenses represent all
expenses directly related to generating fee revenue from third-party investors. Compensation - fee-related represents compensation expense directly related to
generating fee revenue from third-party investors, which excludes equity-based compensation. Other operating expenses represent operating expenses other than
compensation that is directly related to generating fee revenue from third-party investors. Fee-related earnings represent profitability of our fee-related portfolios, and is
calculated as Fee-related revenue less Fee-related expenses. Investment income (loss) and performance fees represent total income or loss from our seed
investments, net of the related expenses, Advisors Asset Management's capital markets business, which is based on actively traded assets, and performance fees.
Interest and other represents performance fee compensation, our net interest income or expense and income from managing the General Account assets. Operating
income represents profit realized from our business operations, and is calculated as the sum of Fee-related earnings, Investment income (loss) and performance fees, and
Interest and other. Placement fees - other represent costs incurred for capital raising activities that are not related to the current period.
Reporting Refinements
Beginning in Q3 2023:
1. The Run-off Reinsurance business was moved from the Corporate business segment to the U.S. business segment, combined with U.S. In-force Management.
2. The Other Fee Income line in the DOE for the U.S. business segment has been refined to include Group Benefits and Health & Risk Solutions fee income net of
corresponding expenses in order to align with the presentation of the Dental business in this line. We have updated prior period amounts to reflect this refinement.
3. In the DOE Reconciliations in the appendix of this document, the reported net income impact of ACMA is shown in aggregate for Net insurance service result and Net
investment result in the Reported DOE, to align with the aggregate presentation in the Underlying DOE. We have updated prior period amounts to reflect this refinement.
4. Certain lines on the MFS Reconciliations page have been re-ordered to better align to the accounting basis for publicly traded asset managers in the United States.
Beginning in Q2 2023, the following changes are included in the Supplementary Financial Information:
1.Contractual Service Margin (CSM) Movement Analysis by segment, following the segment level Drivers of Earnings.
2. Drivers of Earnings for each segment on one page, following the total company Drivers of Earnings, current quarter and same quarter prior year.
3.Components for Other comprehensive income (loss) for the period and Composition of shareholders’ accumulated OCI balance in the Statements of Total Shareholders'
Equity.
4.Asset Management (including MFS and SLC Management) profit & loss presented on an underlying to reported basis, providing a consistent presentation with other
segment DOE.
5. Effective Q2 2023 following the sale of Sun Life UK, the UK payout annuities business has moved to the U.S. business segment and is combined with U.S. In-force
Management.
6. Certain 2022 restated results and 2023 interim results in the Drivers of Earnings and CSM Movement Analysis were refined to reflect how management views the
business. As these results are not audited, or have not yet been audited, they may still be subject to change. See the section Basis of Presentation on the Notes page ii of
this document for more information.
Beginning in Q1 2023:
1. Financial leverage ratio - Effective January 1, 2023, the calculation for Financial leverage ratio was updated to include the Contractual Service Margin balance (net of
taxes) in the denominator. This measure has not been restated for periods in 2022 and earlier as IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 were not the accounting standards in effect and
therefore, were not applicable to our capital management practices at the time.
2. LICAT Ratio - The LICAT ratio for Sun Life Financial Inc. is disclosed according to OSFI's 2023 LICAT Guideline, effective January 1, 2023, which specifies that available
capital for LICAT purposes includes the Contractual Service Margin. Prior period restatements and resubmissions are not mandated. Additionally, effective January 1,
2023, total capital was updated to include the CSM balance.
3. Sales and flows - Effective January 1, 2023, wealth sales in Group Retirement Services in Canada has been updated to exclude retained sales to better align with the
methodology for Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association (LIMRA) reporting. We have updated prior period amounts to reflect this change. Also effective
January 1, 2023, insurance sales were renamed to "Group - Health & Protection sales" and "Individual - Protection sales" to better align to the business types by our
business groups. For more information about business types, refer to section A - How we Report Our Results of the Company's Q1 2023 MD&A.
4. Third-Party AUM - Effective January 1, 2023, "third-party AUM" was renamed from "other AUM" in order to be more descriptive of the nature of these assets. Further, the
presentation of "consolidation adjustments" has been updated in the current and prior periods to be shown separately from "third-party AUM", as adjustments apply to all
components of total AUM.
5. Underlying net income - Effective January 1, 2023, we refined the definition of Underlying net income as follows, and have updated prior period comparative figures to
reflect these changes: (i) Market-related impacts were updated to reflect the adoption of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9; (ii) The adjustment for management’s ownership of MFS
shares was updated to better reflect Sun Life’s interest in MFS’ earnings; and (iii) Removal of intangible asset amortization on acquired finite-life intangibles. Additional
detail on these adjustments is provided in the Non-IFRS Financial Measures section on page 1 of this document.
For additional information about changes in accounting policy, refer to Note 2 in our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended September 30, 2023
