The company s products portfolio includes life insurance, pensions, long-term care, mutual funds, annuities and group benefits. MFC's primary operations are in Canada and the U.S. (following the 2003 acquisition of John Hancock for $11 billion). MFC also has a sizeable presence in various Asian markets, with operations in the Philippines, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand. Manulife Financial Corporation Second Quarter f2014 Earnings Release Insurance Surprise Increase to Dividend and Target Payout Range Signals New Era HIGHLIGHTS MFS reported fully-diluted EPS of $0.49, versus our estimate of $0.40/share. Core EPS (under NBF s definition) came in at $0.41, just missing our forecast of $0.43. Surprise increase to quarterly dividend and target payout range signals new era. MFC announced a quarterly dividend increase of 2.5 cents per share or 19% to 15.5 cents per share. Management also raised its target dividend payout range to 30%-40% from 25%-35%. These changes demarcate the front end of new era at MFC, one in which the company will focus less on building a fortress balance sheet and more on creating shareholder value. This viewpoint forms the basis of our Outperform thesis. Asia rebounds. MFC s Asia division exceeded our core earnings estimate (pre-tax) by 8% this quarter, reporting core earnings of US$271 million. The beat came from better-than-forecast expected profit, impact of new business and earnings on surplus. We view this as encouraging after three consecutive quarters of stagnant core earnings. Upcoming Reserve Charges Manageable. In the third quarter of each year, MFC undertakes an annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions. While its review is not complete, the impact should be near last year s outcome (a charge of $252 million). In addition, in the fourth quarter of f2014, MFC will implement new actuarial standards for economic reinvestment assumptions used in the valuation of insurance contract liabilities. Assuming June 30, 2014 interest rates (and other assumptions) hold, MFC estimates these revisions will result in a charge to net income of up to $200 million. EPS estimate changes: EPS falls to $1.60 from $1.76 in f2014, remains at $2.07 in f2015, and rises to $2.32 from $2.29 in f2016. NBF core EPS remains at $1.72 in f2014, falls to $1.91 from $1.93 in f2015, and declines to $2.11 from $2.14 in f2016. MFC remains at Outperform; price target increased to $26.00 from $24.00. Our price target P/E multiple is 11.8x our NTM EPS one-year from today, a 1% discount to peers. MFC currently trades at 12.8x our forecasted EPS over the next twelve months (NTM).

Page 2 Remain at Outperform; Price Target Increased to $26.00 from $24.00 MFS reported fully-diluted EPS (excluding the conversion of capital trust securities in the fully diluted share count) of $0.49, versus our estimate of $0.40/share. MFC reported higher non-core investment gains than we forecasted and did not suffer in Q2 f2014 the hit to earnings from falling long-term interest rate as we predicted. Under management s definition of Core earnings, MFC reported Q2 f2014 Core EPS of $0.36, compared with our estimate of $0.40 and the consensus estimate of $0.39. Core EPS (under NBF s definition) came in at $0.41, just missing our forecast of $0.43 (please note, we define core earnings as the tax-affected sum of expected profit from operations, impact of new sales and earnings on surplus). Some investors and observers expressed concern about the core earnings miss. We would simply respond that the strength or weakness of MFC s quarter depends on one s definition of core. The miss to our core earnings forecast came via the most volatile component in the sources of earnings statement: Expected profit came in slightly higher than we anticipated (Cdn$968 million vs. NBF $964 million), Strain from new business written was a touch better than expected (loss of Cdn$75 million vs. NBF loss of Cdn$78 million) Earnings on Surplus was much lower than anticipated (Cdn $111 million vs. NBF Cdn$163 million) The latter category is notoriously volatile and management attributed the disappointing total to lower mark-to-market gains and the timing of dividend and interest income relative to the prior quarter. In short, we see nothing that suggests a systemic reduction in core earnings power and find ample reason to be optimistic of MFC s core performance: consistent growth in U.S. wealth sales, a solid core earnings beat to our expectations in Asia (see segment review below), and steady expected profit growth in the U.S. asset management segment. By focusing the market on its core earnings, we think MFC encourages investors to overlook the contribution of non-core investment gains, which may cause an understatement of prospective BVPS growth and, hence, valuation. Since Q1 f2011, MFC has averaged Cdn$227 million in quarterly non-core investment gains, or roughly Cdn$277 million including core investment gains (of Cdn$50 million per quarter). On the Q2 f2014 earnings conference call, management hinted that MFC may increase the amount of investment gains it systemically classifies as core in the quarter. As noted in the segment review below, we increased our forecast for core and non-core investment gains in future quarters. Changes in book value per share (BVPS) offer the analyst the best way of looking through the earnings noise. On that basis, we find that MFC missed our BVPS forecast of $15.17 by 1.6%, reporting Q2 f2014 BVPS of $14.92. Higher unrealized foreign exchange gains ($0.9 billion vs. NBF $0.2 billion) than we anticipated drove the book value miss. Subsequent to quarter end, however, the Canadian dollar depreciated which should (if the current exchange rate holds) reverse some of these losses next quarter. Given that MFC has chosen to release its results on the same date as two of its peers, we reluctantly omit a deeper dive into the key takeaways for the quarters in order to cover all the results released today (GWO, MFC and SLF). We highlight the following key takeaways for the quarter: Surprise increase to the quarterly dividend and target payout range signals new era. MFC announced a quarterly dividend increase of 2.5 cents per share or 19% to 15.5 cents per share. Management also raised its target dividend payout range to 30%-40% from 25%-35%.

Page 3 These changes demarcate the front end of new era at MFC, one in which the company will focus less on building a fortress balance sheet and more on creating shareholder value. This viewpoint forms the basis of our Outperform thesis. One mechanism for creating shareholder value would be to employ MFC s excess capital more productively on behalf of shareholders. With an MCCSR ratio of 243% and a falling financial leverage ratio (down to 28% from 33% one year ago), MFC has ample capacity to repurchase common shares. Alternatively, MFC s robust capital and financial leverage metrics also gives the board and management team the flexibility to pursue accretive acquisitions. With the dividend increase this quarter and, more importantly, the increase to the target common share dividend payout range, MFC s board of directors has clearly signaled an intention to look at the aforementioned options more seriously than the company has in the recent past. Weakness in U.S. Insurance stands out as a concern. An earnings miss in the U.S. Insurance division (core earnings fell short of our expectations by 8%) mainly reflected lower expected profit than anticipated. This gives us some concern as we have observed volatility in expected profit over the past year for this unit, with figures ranging from US$154 million to US$188 million. We have dropped our f2015 estimate for this segment by 6% on the view that this quarter s result indicates the platform is weaker than we had thought. Asia rebounds. MFC s Asia division exceeded our core earnings estimate (pre-tax) by 8% this quarter, reporting core earnings of US$271 million. The beat came from better-than-forecast expected profit, impact of new business and earnings on surplus. We view this as encouraging after three consecutive quarters of stagnant core earnings. Upcoming Reserve Charges Manageable. In the third quarter of each year, MFC undertakes an annual review of actuarial methods and assumptions. In the Q2 f2014 earnings press release, management indicated that while its review is not complete, the impact could be up to an amount in the general range of the Q3 f2013 charge for changes in actuarial methods and assumptions (Cdn$252 million, after-tax). In addition, in the fourth quarter of f2014, MFC will implement new actuarial standards for economic reinvestment assumptions used in the valuation of insurance contract liabilities i.e., assumptions related to interest rates and credit spreads 20+ years into the future and to the use of non-fixed income backing fixed obligations. While the company noted the impact of these revisions will depend on interest rates and other assumptions at the time of implementation as well as investment-related experience, the company does not anticipate that the impact on net income would be significant. Applying interest rate levels, year-to-date investment-related experience and assumptions for the first half of f2014, MFC estimates these revisions will result in a charge to net income of up to $200 million. Dividend Outlook As a result of the surprise increase to the quarterly dividend and the increase in the target payout range, we changed our dividend forecast quite materially. We assume MFC holds its quarterly dividend at $0.155/share for the next three quarters, then bumps it up a further 2.5 cents to $0.18/share and thereafter increases the dividend every third quarter by $0.02/share. As a consequence, our f2015 dividend per share estimate rises to $0.70 for the full year from $0.56 while in f2016 our DPS estimate increases to $0.82 (again for the full year) from $0.64. By making these assumptions, we keep MFC s common share dividend payout ratio in the middle of its target range.

Valuation We now base our Outperform rating on the view that a new era has begun at MFC one in which shareholders will see capital flow back to them (a reversal from the financial crisis years) in the form of increasing dividends, common share repurchases and accretive acquisition. We think several key drivers underlie the new era: (1) ample financial flexibility via an unusually high MCCSR ratio at MFC s primary operating company and via a rapidly declining financial leverage ratio, (2) the strength of MFC s North American wealth management platforms, and (3) an attractive long-term growth opportunity in Asia which gives MFC s board of directors attractive opportunities for organically deploying its excess capital. In addition, we see MFC as one of the Canadian large-cap financial institutions most geared to an accelerating U.S. recovery half of its balance sheet and earnings are related to its U.S. businesses. Therefore, if the recovery in U.S. economic growth continues, this will likely trigger renewed market interest in MFC s stock. If, after the summer of f2014, we find ourselves with a U.S. economy growing at over 2.5% on a real basis, and the market starting to price in a rising Federal Funds rate, then we expect MFC would trade in the mid-20s (and common share repurchases could accelerate this process). We elected to raise our price target to $26 from $24. Our price target P/E multiple is 11.8x our NTM EPS one-year from today, a 1% discount to peers. MFC currently trades at 12.8x our forecasted EPS over the next twelve months (NTM). Meanwhile, our price target P/B multiple is 1.56x BVPS one year from today, versus a current P/B multiple of 1.45x.

NBF core EPS remains at $1.72 in f2014, falls to $1.91 from $1.93 in f2015, and declines to $2.11 from $2.14 in f2016. This quarter, we adjusted our overall assumptions for several items. We lowered consolidated earnings on surplus by 8% in f2015 and by 4% in f2016 because performance came in so far below our expectation this quarter. That said, this line item tends to be volatile, so we intend to take a conservative approach going forward. We also raised our estimates for investment gains. In particular, non-core investment gains have averaged Cdn$227 million (pre-tax) quarterly since Q1 f2011. We incorporated this into our estimates by increasing our non-core investment gain assumption to $75 million per quarter from $30 million per quarter for the balance of f2014. We also expect MFC to raise its core investment gains to $75 million per quarter (for f2015 and f2016) in f2015 from $50 million today (this could be higher but we prefer to remain conservative). In f2015 and f2016 non-core gains then fall to $5 million per quarter (again erring on the conservative side). In addition to the foregoing, we reduced our forecasted effective tax rate marginally based on better than expected performance over the past several quarters. Finally, we made adjustments to our forecasts for upcoming reserve charges. In particular, we add a $252 million charge for assumption changes reflecting the outcome of the annual review of actuarial methods (per company guidance) in Q3 f2014. In Q4 f2014, we include a $200 million after-tax charge for changes in economic reinvestment assumptions mandated by the Canadian Actuarial Standards Board, based on company guidance this quarter. We identify the main business line drivers of our other estimate revisions in the pages that follow. U.S. Insurance Key performance takeaways Core earnings (pre-tax) underperformed our estimate as a result of weaker expected profit relative to our forecast, partially offset by better earnings on surplus and impact of new business than anticipated. As noted above, we view the expected profit this quarter for the division with some caution, as we have observed volatility in this figure throughout the past year Sales rose US$7 million q/q as John Hancock Life saw a 20% q/q rise in sales, with management attributing the improvement to strong sales in Indexed universal life (UL) products and variable UL products. Meanwhile John Hancock Long-Term Care reported a q/q decline, with sales dropping to US$13 million from $23 million last quarter. This was underpinned by expected bi-annual inflation buy-up activity on the Federal LTC program in the prior quarter Implications for estimates We lowered f2015 expected profit by 6%, reflecting the 11% miss to our estimates this quarter

This was partially offset by modestly better expected profit than anticipated and a smaller negative impact from new business relative to our estimate Sales missed our estimate by US$238 million, falling 1% q/q versus our forecast of a 2% q/q improvement (on a US$ basis). However, on a y/y basis, sales rose 7%. JH Investments saw sales rise 9% y/y which included a US$1 billion mandate from a large wirehouse firm. Meanwhile JH Retirement Plan Services saw sales decline 7% y/y to US$927 million Implications for estimates We raised expected profit by 3% in f2015, reflecting our expectation of strong wealth management sales Earnings on surplus drops materially, reflecting a combination of an assumed lower yield on surplus assets and a re-allocation of earnings on surplus across divisions Variance to Estimate: Over / (Under) Prior Revised U.S. WEALTH MGMT 2Q-13A 1Q-14A 2Q-14E 2Q-14A Core Earnings Analysis (C$ Millions) Expected profit from in force business 258 235 237 239 2 1,058 1,093 Impact of new business (42) (45) (45) (43) 3 (196) (191) Earnings on surplus 45 35 49 35 (14) 223 154 Total Core Earnings from Ops (pre-tax) 261 225 241 231 (10) 1,084 1,056 Key Drivers Assets Under Management (C$) 216,688 249,696 256,265 249,813 (6,451) 293,743 296,945 Total AUM - q/q Growth (USD basis) 0.2% 1.5% 4.0% 3.6% (41) bps 2.7% 2.5% Expected Profit % 2Qtr Avg.

The miss was primarily underpinned by a larger negative impact from new business than anticipated

Expected profit, impact of new business and earnings on surplus all outperformed our estimates Sales rose 29% q/q (on an US$ basis) compared with our forecast of 26% q/q growth. This figure reflects strength across geographies, particularly in wealth sales in the Indonesia and Other Asia markets. However, AUM growth (in US$) of 2.3% q/q missed our estimate of 3.5% growth q/q Implications for estimates We raised expected profit to reflect the strong beat relative to our estimates this quarter We also increased our earnings on surplus forecast due to a re-allocation of earnings on surplus across divisions Variance to Estimate: Over / (Under) Prior Revised ASIA 2Q-13A 1Q-14A 2Q-14E 2Q-14A Core Earnings Analysis (C$ Millions) Expected profit from in force business 260 232 237 243 6 1,073 1,085 Impact of new business (24) (13) (16) (3) 13 (64) (63) Earnings on surplus 49 50 49 56 7 223 235 Total Core Earnings from Ops (pre-tax) 285 268 269 296 26 1,232 1,257 Key Drivers Assets Under Management (C$) 79,301 82,350 84,111 81,374 (2,737) 98,545 97,591 Total AUM - q/q Growth (2.7%) 3.5% 3.5% 2.3% (119) bps 3.2% 2.7% Expected Profit % 2Qtr Avg.
