TORONTO – Manulife Financial Corp. reported $1.1 billion in net income attributable to shareholders during the first quarter, compared with $485 million during the same period last year.
That amounted to earnings per share of 65 cents during the period, up from 25 cents during the prior-year quarter.
The insurer says adjusted earnings, or what it calls core earnings, reached $1.8 billion during the first quarter, up year-over-year from $1.77 billion.
Core earnings for Manulife’s Asia segment came in at US$598 million during the period, compared with US$492 million last year.
Meanwhile, core earnings for its Canada segment came in at $352 million, compared with $374 million during last year’s first quarter.
Manulife CEO Phil Witherington says the company’s Asia segment achieved a strong quarter, with 22 per cent growth in core earnings and 15 per cent growth in new business value.
