Q4-2024 Consolidated Performance
— Overall operating DPW growth was 5%, driven by rates and continued unit growth in Personal lines. Within Commercial lines, growth was led by mid-single-digit rates and favourable market conditions across most lines of business.
— Overall combined ratio was strong at 86.5%, improving 3.6 points from last year, reflecting the benefit of our profitability actions, including higher earned premiums, and milder weather.
— Operating net investment income increased by 6% to $398 million, mainly due to higher book yields.
— Distribution income increased by 13% from last year to $123 million, driven by solid organic growth, contributions from our M&A activities, as well as higher variable commissions.
Lines of Business
P&C Canada
— Personal auto operating DPW increased by 12%, reflecting rate actions as well as unit growth of 3%. The combined ratio of 94.2% for the quarter reflected strong underlying results and was in line with our seasonally adjusted sub-95 guidance.
— Personal property operating DPW grew by 9%, primarily due to rates in hard market conditions. The combined ratio was very strong at 77.1% for the quarter, reflecting robust underlying performance and low catastrophe losses.
— Commercial lines operating DPW grew by 4%, driven by mid-single-digit rates other than in large accounts where we continue to see increased competition. The combined ratio stood at 78.8% for the quarter, 6 points better than last year, driven by continued underwriting discipline coupled with muted CAT losses.
P&C UK2
— Operating DPW decreased 3%, reflecting profitability actions taken within the DLG portfolio. Otherwise, overall conditions remain conducive to appropriate rate actions. The combined ratio was strong at 92.7% for the quarter, considering elevated CAT losses.
P&C US2
— Operating DPW growth was flat, reflecting corrective actions taken in certain lines of business. Excluding these, growth was 4%. The combined ratio was strong at 86.1% for the quarter, reflecting continued underwriting discipline.

Refer to Section 29 – Non-GAAP and other financial measures in the Q4-2024 Management's Discussion and Analysis for further details.2 DPW change (growth) is presented in constant currency.3 The comparative period results presented in the table are on a reported basis. Following the exit of the UK Personal lines operations in 2023, performance of this segment is now analyzed on a pro-forma basis (which excludes UK Personal lines results) for comparability. Pro-forma growth in constant currency was 23% in 2024. Pro-forma combined ratio was 94.3% for 2023.
Net Operating Income, EPS and ROE
— Net operating income attributable to common shareholders of $881 million increased 24%, driven by a robust underwriting performance, further bolstered by strong growth in distribution and investment results.
— Earnings per share increased 29% to $3.58 in the quarter, aligned with increased operating income. EPS also benefitted from fewer exited lines, restructuring and integration costs year-over-year.
— Operating ROE of 16.5%, despite 3 points of catastrophe losses above expectations over the past 12 months, driven by a robust performance across all lines of business and geographies. Adjusted ROE of 16.8% and ROE of 14.2% were strong, with an increase of 5 points from last year, primarily due to higher operating earnings and other gains.
Balance Sheet
— The Company ended the quarter in a strong financial position with a total capital margin of $2.9 billion and solid regulatory capital ratios in all jurisdictions.
— Adjusted debt-to-total capital ratio stood at 19.4% as at December 31, 2024, an improvement vs. Q3-2024, as strong capital generation in the quarter allowed for the repayment of short-term debt.
— IFC's book value per share (BVPS) of $92.67 as at December 31, 2024, increasing 13% year-over-year, driven by strong earnings over the last twelve months, as well as gains related to favourable market movements in the period.

The common share dividends are payable on March 31, 2025, to shareholders of record on March 14, 2025.
