Industrial Alliance Continues its Momentum: The ROE continues to improve and premiums and deposits are up 16% in the second quarter


    The dividend is increased by 11%

    QUEBEC CITY, July 31 /CNW Telbec/ - Industrial Alliance Insurance and
Financial Services Inc. ("Industrial Alliance" or "the Company") ended the
second quarter of 2007 with net income to common shareholders of
$62.1 million, which translates into diluted earnings per common share of
$0.77 and a return on equity attributable to common shareholders of 15.8% for
the quarter on an annualized basis. This result compares to income of
$63.7 million for the second quarter of 2006 ($0.78 per diluted common share)
or $53.1 million ($0.65 per diluted common share) if last year's data are
adjusted to take into account the exceptional gain of $11.5 million resulting
from the reduction in federal corporate tax rates on the future income tax
liability and the unusual charge of $0.9 million (after taxes) related to the
integration of the National Life subsidiary.
    The increased income from core operations primarily results from strong
business growth and strict management of profitability in the Individual
Insurance sector.
    After an already very strong first quarter, record mutual fund entries
for this period of the year carried premiums and deposits to $1.5 billion in
the second quarter, which is 16% higher than the same period last year. Almost
all sectors recorded growth in premiums or deposits during the quarter.
Premiums and deposits have reached a new high of $3.2 billion after six
months, a 15% increase compared to the first half of 2006.
    "We are continuing our momentum," stated Yvon Charest, President and
Chief Executive Officer. "We have once again achieved a double-digit increase
in the income on our core operations. The return on equity has surpassed the
15% threshold for the fifth straight quarter. For the second time this year,
the board of directors has announced an increase in the dividend, this time by
11%. Our IA Clarington subsidiary continues to post record mutual fund sales.
Sales outside Quebec have once again exceeded sales within the province in all
lines of business. And we are confident that individual insurance sales will
soon start to grow again, based on how our agents have responded to the
improvements made to our product line in the last few months."-------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Highlights

    Following are a few highlights from the second quarter of 2007.

    Profitability - All sectors contributed to the income during the quarter.
The increased income primarily results from the following three factors:

    - The substantial decrease in new business strain in the Individual
      Insurance sector. The strain decreased from $28.5 million in the second
      quarter of 2006 to $22.3 million in the second quarter of 2007. This
      decrease primarily results from the pricing adjustments made to the
      individual life insurance product line in 2006, in addition to lower
      individual life insurance sales and the change that occurred in the
      sales mix during the quarter (sales of yearly renewable term Universal
      Life insurance policies, which are less strain intensive, jumped 16% in
      the second quarter compared to the same period in 2006, whereas level
      cost Universal Life insurance policies, which are more strain
      intensive, decreased by 25%).
      The strain, expressed as a percentage of sales (measured in terms of
      first-year annualized premiums), decreased from 69% of individual
      insurance sales in the second quarter of 2006, to 61% in the second
      quarter of 2007. However, this rate is higher than the 55% rate
      obtained in the first quarter of 2007. This decline primarily results
      from the sales mix, which was a little less favourable than expected
      this quarter. However, the Company is maintaining its objective to
      reduce the strain to around 50% to 55% in the medium term, even though
      it could fluctuate around the upper end of this range in the next few
      quarters.
    - The sustained growth of the expected profit on in-force business, which
      was 10% higher in the second quarter compared to the same period last
      year. This growth primarily results from strong business growth in the
      last few years, particularly in the Individual Wealth Management and
      Group Insurance sectors.
    - The increase in the income on capital, which grew 19% compared to the
      same quarter last year. This increase results from the normal growth of
      the capital base, which essentially increases with the addition of
      retained earnings.

    Four other points are worthy of note in terms of profitability:

    - Experience gains were high this quarter ($5.1 million), but did not
      contribute to the increase in income since they were also high in the
      second quarter of last year ($5.9 million). The gains come primarily
      from the Individual Wealth Management sector, owing to the very good
      performance of mutual funds, which were sustained by positive stock
      markets, and the Group Insurance sector, which continues to record very
      favourable experience.
    - As with the first quarter, the new accounting standards that took
      effect did not have a significant impact on the earnings for the
      quarter. The Company recorded $2.3 million in gains (before taxes)
      resulting from transactions involving certain assets that are matched
      the shareholders equity. These gains somewhat replaced the $1.3 million
      in income (before taxes) that the Company recorded in the second
      quarter of 2006 from the amortization of realized and unrealized gains
      for assets other than real estate matched to the shareholders' equity.
      Under the new accounting standards, this income is no longer amortized
      on the income statement.
    - The effective tax rate was 28.9% for the second quarter, which is in
      line with the Company's expectations. The Company expects this rate to
      remain around this level in the medium term.
    - The operating profit is up in all sectors, except Group Pensions.
      Individual Insurance is the sector that has made the greatest
      contribution to growth of the operating profit, benefiting from a
      strict management of the strain and, to a lesser extent, a new
      reallocation of general expenses between business sectors. Individual
      Wealth Management benefited from strong mutual fund sales, but this
      sector must now assume a larger portion of the Company's general
      expenses (about $1.5 million per quarter). Experience gains were good
      in Group Insurance, even though they were not as high as last year's
      exceptional gains for the same period. In Group Pensions, the operating
      profit was impacted by increased strain, due to higher insured annuity
      sales.

    Business growth - Business growth continued in the second quarter, with
sustained fund entries in all lines of business, even though there was a
slight dip in new policy sales in a few sectors, after a very strong
first quarter overall. Nevertheless, sales are up after six months compared to
the same period last year in almost all lines of business.

    - Second quarter sales were down 12% in the Individual Insurance sector
      compared to the same period last year (the decrease is 9% after
      six months). This decrease is explained by strong sales in the
      second quarter of last year (sales reached a historical high) and the
      price adjustments made to products in 2006. However, based on the
      volume of business submitted to the Company in the last few weeks, the
      Company is confident that the decline in sales in this sector has come
      to an end. It appears that the numerous changes made to the product
      line in the last few months to improve the Company's competitive
      position have been well received by the agents.
    - The Individual Wealth Management sector obtained the strongest growth
      once again, with a 32% increase in sales in the second quarter (and 23%
      for the first six months) compared to the corresponding periods last
      year. This result was mainly driven by strong mutual fund entries,
      which benefited from favourable stock markets, as well as the
      successful integration of the operations of Clarington Corporation with
      those of Industrial Alliance.
    - After a very strong first quarter, sales were down 29% in the Group
      Insurance Employee Plans sector in the second quarter, due to a lack of
      activity in the market and a lack of sales to large groups. Sales can
      fluctuate from one quarter to another in this sector, due to the size
      of the groups underwritten. Nevertheless, sales are up 9% for the first
      six months.
    - The Group Creditor Insurance sector continues to generate very good
      results. Sales have increased for an eleventh consecutive quarter,
      growing 15% in the second quarter (and 13% for the first six months).
      This success depends on the expansion of the automobile dealer base
      (through which this product is mainly distributed) and the increase in
      the penetration rate among clients of automobile dealers.
    - Special Markets Group continues to grow steadily, with sales up 13% in
      the second quarter (and 21% for the first six months) compared to the
      same periods in 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to the
      growth of the travel insurance block of business.
    - After growing 15% in the first quarter, sales in the Group Pensions
      sector decreased by 12% in the second quarter compared to the same
      period last year. Sales in the second quarter of 2006 were among the
      best in this sector, after the Company obtained a large mandate. As
      with the Group Insurance Employee Plans sector, sales can fluctuate
      substantially from one quarter to another in this sector, due to the
      size of certain groups with whom new agreements are signed.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Assets under management and under administration - Assets under management
grew $665 million in the second quarter, amounting to $32.1 billion as at June
30, 2007, up 2% compared to the end of the first quarter of 2007. Strong net
segregated fund and mutual fund sales, premium growth in the various lines of
business and the stock market upswing contributed to this increase. The
increase in general fund assets was slowed by the interest rate hikes in the
second quarter, which reduced the market value of bonds (since January 1,
2007, general fund assets are recognized at the market value). It is estimated
that assets under management would have grown about 4% if it weren't for the
increase in interest rates.
    In total, assets under management and under administration grew 1% during
the quarter and are up 8% since the end of 2006, surpassing the $50 billion
mark for the first time, to total $50,601.6 million as at June 30, 2007.
Assets under management and under administration have almost quadrupled since
the Company demutualized at the beginning of 2000.
    Value of new business - The value of new business grew 36%
(or $7.9 million) in the second quarter compared to the same period last year,
totalling $30.1 million ($0.38 per common share). As with previous quarters,
the growth of the value of new business was driven by strong sales, primarily
mutual funds, which accounted for $2.7 million of the increase in the value of
new business, and improved profit margins, primarily in the Individual
Insurance sector, which accounted for $5.2 million of this increase.
    Capitalization - The Company's capital totalled $2.1 billion as at
June 30, 2007, which represents an increase of $30.3 million (or 1%) compared
to March 31, 2007. This growth is primarily the result of the increase in
retained earnings for the period and the issuance of 110,750 common shares
following the exercise of options under the Company's stock option plan.
    Financial leverage - The Company still has a great deal of flexibility in
terms of financial leverage, since the debt ratio amounted to 15.1% as at
June 30, 2007, if the subordinated debentures alone are included in the debt
items, and 21.1%, if the preferred shares are added. These rates are slightly
lower compared to the end of the first quarter.
    Solvency - The solvency ratio remained stable in the second quarter,
totalling 197% as at June 30, 2007. This ratio remains in the upper end of the
Company's 175% to 200% target range. No material unusual items affected the
solvency ratio during the quarter.
    Excess capital - The excess capital increased in the second quarter, from
$144 million as at March 31, 2007 to $152 million as at June 30, 2007. This
increase is the result of normal business growth.
    Quality of investments - There was little change in the quality of
investments during the quarter, which remained excellent, other than the
addition of a few mortgage loans in default totalling $1.0 million.
    Net impaired investments totalled $9.3 million as at June 30, 2007
($8.3 million as at March 31, 2007), which represents just 0.07% of total
investments (0.06% as at March 31, 2007). No bonds defaulted during the
quarter and the portfolio does not contain any new bonds rated BB or lower.
The quality of the mortgage portfolio remains excellent. The delinquent
mortgage loans portfolio stands at just $2.7 million of a total portfolio of
$2.6 billion. Two thirds of delinquent loans are insured. Finally, Industrial
Alliance does not have any exposure to the U.S. subprime mortgage market.
    Industrial Alliance increases its ownership in FundEX - On June 29, 2007,
the Company increased its ownership in FundEX Investments Inc. ("FundEX") from
91.75% to 100%. Industrial Alliance originally took a 25% minority position in
FundEX in June 2002, increased it to 83.50% in 2004, then to 91.75% in June
2006 and finally to 100% in June 2007. FundEX is a mutual fund broker that has
some 600 representatives and administers $10.2 billion in assets (as at
June 30, 2007).
    Dividend - The favourable results for the quarter have enabled the board
of directors to announce an 11% increase in the quarterly dividend, which will
increase from $0.18 to $0.20 per common share. This is the second time this
year that the board is announcing an increase in the dividend. This dividend
corresponds to a payout ratio of 26% of the net earnings for the quarter, an
increase over the 25% ratio paid out in the first quarter. This increase is in
keeping with the Company's desire to increase the payout ratio to 28% of the
sustainable net earnings by early or mid-2008. The Company's policy provides
for a dividend that corresponds to 20% to 30% of the sustainable net earnings.
This dividend is payable in cash on September 17, 2007 to the shareholders of
record as at August 24, 2007.
    The Board of Directors has also declared the payment of a quarterly
dividend of $0.2875 per non-cumulative class A preferred share series B. The
dividend is payable in cash on October 1, 2007, to the preferred shareholders
of record as at August 31, 2007.
    For the purposes of the enhanced dividend tax credit rules contained in
the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any corresponding provincial and territorial
tax legislation, all dividends paid by Industrial Alliance on its common and
preferred shares since January 1, 2006 are eligible dividends. Unless
otherwise indicated, all dividends paid are now eligible dividends for the
purposes of such rules.
    A.M. Best increases Industrial Alliance's outlook to "positive" from
"stable" - On May 31, 2007, the A.M. Best rating agency affirmed the financial
strength rating of A (Excellent) and issuer credit ratings of "a+" of
Industrial Alliance. A.M. Best also affirmed the debt ratings of Industrial
Alliance. The outlook for all ratings has been increased to "positive" from
"stable".

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). It also occasionally uses certain
non-GAAP financial measures - adjusted data - concerning mainly the profit,
earnings per share and return on shareholders equity. These non-GAAP financial
measures are always clearly indicated, and are always accompanied by and
reconciled with GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that these
non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and analysts with useful
information so that they can better understand the financial results and
perform a better analysis of the Company's growth and profitability potential.
These non-GAAP financial measures provide a different way of assessing various
aspects of the Company's operations and may facilitate the comparison of
results from one period to another. Since non-GAAP financial measures do not
have a standardized definition, they may differ from the non-GAAP financial
measures used by other institutions. The Company strongly encourages investors
to review its financial statements and other publicly-filed reports in their
entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. The data related to
the solvency ratio, embedded value and the value of new business, as well as
adjusted data, as indicated above, are not subject to GAAP.

    INDUSTRIAL ALLIANCE INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES INC.
    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    Six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (unaudited)
    (in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)


    1- ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended
December 31, 2006, as set out in the 2006 Annual Report. The significant
accounting policies followed in the preparation of these interim Consolidated
Financial Statements are consistent with those found in the 2006 Annual
Report, except as described in note 2 below.

    2- CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Financial Instruments

    On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the following accounting
standards: Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, Handbook Section 3855,
Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement, Handbook Section 3865,
Hedges and Handbook section 4211 Life insurance enterprise-specific items.

    Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement

    Financial assets subject to the new standard are classified as one of the
following: Held-for-trading, Available-for-sale, Held-to-maturity, Loans and
Receivables. Financial liabilities subject to the new standard are classified
as Held-for-trading or Other. Held-for-trading financial instruments are
measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in Net income.
Available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value and any
unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Held-to-maturity, Loans and Receivables financial assets and financial
liabilities classified as Other are measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest rate method. The new standard allows an entity to designate
financial instruments as Held-for-trading at the initial accounting or at the
adoption of the standard even if this financial instrument does not satisfy
the definition of financial instruments Held-for-trading. Financial
instruments classified as Held-for-trading under the fair value option should
have a reliable fair value.
    When a financial instrument is acquired, it should be recorded on the
balance sheet at fair value except for the related party transactions.
Subsequent measurement of the financial instruments will be determined by
their initial classification.
    The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the
financial instrument could be exchanged in an arm's length transaction between
knowledgeable and willing parties. Fair value is based on quoted market rates
(bid/ask) prices. If not, the fair value is based on prevailing market prices
for instruments with similar characteristics and risk profiles or internal or
external valuation models using observable market based inputs.
    For the asset with a regular-way contract, the Company continues to apply
the settlement-date accounting method. Under this method, the gain or loss in
value between the transaction date and the settlement date is assumed in the
Net income for assets Held-for-trading and in the other comprehensive income
for the assets Available-for-sale.
    Derivatives must be accounted for at the fair value, unless they are
specifically designated within an effective hedging relation. The change in
fair value will be presented directly in Net income.
    The Company has chosen to classify assets matching the provisions for
future policy benefits as Held-for-trading with the exception of mortgages, as
well as private stocks and private bonds that are not quoted on an active
market. This is because the provisions for future policy benefits are excluded
from the new standards. The provisions for future policy benefits are
calculated based on the Canadian Asset Liability Method (CALM). Under this
method, the carrying value of assets matching these liabilities is considered
in the basis of the calculation. Therefore, any changes in fair value of
assets matching these liabilities will be taken into account in the
calculation.
    Bonds and stocks quoted on an active market, but which do not match the
provisions for future policy benefits are classified as Available-for-sale.
The change in fair value of these assets will therefore be presented in the
comprehensive income statement. Mortgages and private bonds not quoted on an
active market are classified as Loans and Receivables and measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Private stocks are
classified Available-for-sale but will be valued at cost.
    The Company has chosen to classify the debentures as Held-for-trading. The
debentures are measured at fair value with gains and losses presented as
financing expense.
    Transaction fees related to financial assets and liabilities classified as
Available-for-sale or Held-for-trading are assumed in the net income when they
are incurred. Transaction fees related to assets classified as Loans and
Receivables and liabilities classified in the Other category are capitalized
and amortized according to the effective interest rate method.
    Real estate is excluded from this new standard and continues to be
presented at the moving average method. The realized gains and losses on
disposal continues to be deferred and amortized at 3% per quarter on a
declining balance basis.

    Comprehensive Income

    As a result of adopting these standards, a new category, Accumulated other
comprehensive income, has been added to Shareholders' equity on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. This new category includes unrealized gains and
losses net of income taxes for financial assets classified as
Available-for-sale as well as unrealized foreign currency translation gains
and losses for self-sustaining establishments.

    Hedges

    This new standard specifies the criteria under which hedge accounting can
be applied and how hedge accounting can be executed for each of the permitted
hedging strategies. The Company doesn't use hedge accounting.

    The impact of initial adoption of new standards

    Market value adjustments attributable to the classification of certain
assets and liabilities as instruments Held-for-trading and the elimination of
unamortized deferred gains and losses, impact the provisions for future policy
benefits due to the re-evaluation of the financial assets matching these
liabilities. These adjustments are recognized in the opening balance of the
retained earnings on January 1, 2007. The impact is a $9.9 increase in the
retained earnings (RE).
    The adjustments resulting from the re-evaluation of financial assets
classified as Available-for-sale are recognized in the opening balance of the
accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) on January 1, 2007. The impact is
a $28.2 increase.
    The results for the previous periods have not been restated, except for
the reclassification of the opening balance of the currency translation
account in the accumulated other comprehensive income and commission and
interest expenses discounted as mortgage loans.
    The adjustments from the re-evaluation of segregated fund assets to use
the Bid price are a $2.3 reduction of the net assets.

    3- ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS

    On June 29, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining
8.25% of FundEX for a cash consideration of $0.8, which had already been
accounted as at December 31, 2006.

    4- RESTRUCTURING COSTS

    IA Clarington Investments Inc.

    In acquiring Clarington Corporation on December 28, 2005, the Company
established a plan to restructure and consolidate the activities involving
Clarington's business operations, locations and back-office systems. Related
costs include back office conversion expenses, penalties to third parties and
compensation costs. These costs, which have been accounted for as part of the
purchase price, amount to $18.5.
    In acquiring BLC-Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management Inc. (BLCER) on
December 31, 2004, the Company developed a plan to restructure the operations.
Costs of $3.4 were expected to be incurred as a result of consolidating
activities involving operations and systems and compensation costs. These
costs were accounted for as part of the purchase price.
    On June 30, 2006, Industrial Alliance Fund Management Inc. (formerly
BLCER) and Clarington were merged to create a single entity, IA Clarington
Investments Inc.
