      A full discussion of our results is available at www.inalco.com under Investor Relations/Financial Reports.

      QUEBEC CITY, Feb. 12, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, Industrial Alliance Insurance and Financial Services Inc. (TSX: IAG) reports net income attributed to common shareholders of $112.4 million, up 23% over the previous year. After accounting for the premium of $0.04 per share related to the redemption of the Series E preferred shares on December 31st, diluted earnings per common share (EPS) rose to $1.11 from $0.91 a year ago. The annualized return on shareholders' equity (ROE) was 13.4%.

      For the twelve-month period, net income attributed to common shareholders was $400.4 million, a year‑over‑year increase of 14%. Diluted EPS, after payment of the previously mentioned premium, amounted to $3.97 compared with guidance of $3.40–$3.80, and ROE was 12.4% compared with guidance of 11.0%–12.5%. This represents the third consecutive year that the Company has exceeded its annual earnings guidance.

      At December 31, 2014, the Company's solvency ratio of 209% was above its target range of 175%–200%. Book value per share closed at $33.83, representing a gain of 10% in 2014.

      Yvon Charest, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Q4 was definitely a strong ending to the year. In terms of business growth, the highlights were the pick-up in Individual Insurance sales and the continued improvement in seg funds, which together make up more than half of our net income. Policyholder experience improved quarter over quarter, particularly in Individual Insurance. Despite the decline in interest rates this year, our balance sheet is still robust with good protection to weather short-term turbulence and room to fund growth opportunities."

      René Chabot, Executive Vice-President and Chief Actuary added, "Earnings in the quarter were strong, which pushed our earnings above the range we provided for the full year. Items of note include a significant tax recovery and a hedging loss. For the second quarter in a row, IA Auto and Home delivered a good contribution to our income on capital. Our year-end assumption review, which was in line with the indications given at our Investor Day in June, also took into account the subsequent decline in interest rates in the last quarter of 2014. Turning to 2015, we are introducing our new EPS guidance of $3.80–$4.20."

      FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
      Profitability – For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, Industrial Alliance reports net income attributed to common shareholders of $112.4 million, up 23% year over year. Diluted EPS of $1.11 compares with $0.91 in the same quarter a year ago. The annualized ROE was 13.4%.

      The key elements that explain profitability follow. All figures are after taxes unless otherwise indicated.

      Expected Profit on In-force increased by 15% to $116.7 million pre-tax over the last year, mainly attributed to growth in assets under management in the wealth management businesses. Expected profit on in-force for the wealth management businesses is updated on a quarterly basis to reflect market growth and net fund sales.

      Year-end Assumption Changes – Under the new actuarial standards published by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries in October 2014, the Company increased its ultimate reinvestment rate from 3.1% to 4.0% at year-end, which contributed positively to reserves. However, additional reserves were required to reflect the significant drop in long‑term interest rates during the year, to strengthen the lapse assumption, and to increase the protection against a drop in equity markets. Overall actuarial reserves were strengthened by a net amount of $3.2 million, a loss of $0.03 per share.

      Individual Insurance reported an experience gain of $0.07 per share ($6.5 million). Favourable developments included equity markets ($0.02), mortality ($0.02) as well as lower expenses ($0.03).

      Individual Wealth Management had an experience loss of $0.17 per share ($16.6 million). Of this amount, $0.12 per share relates to a hedging loss in the quarter. (This is the first hedging loss in the last three years.) Other items of note in the quarter were adverse longevity and higher expenses ($0.05).

      Group Insurance reported an experience loss of $0.01 per share ($1.2 million). Dealer Services and Special Markets Solutions both reported higher than expected claims representing $0.02 per share and $0.01 per share, respectively, while Employee Plans had a gain of $0.02 per share.

      Group Savings and Retirement reported a loss of $0.01 per share ($0.7 million) related to lower growth in assets under management.

      Strain – In the Individual Insurance sector, the strain-to-new business ratio of 26% was higher than the target of 20% for the fourth quarter. Management estimates that the higher strain represented a loss of $0.02 per share ($1.7 million).

      Income on Capital – Total income on capital of $28.1 million pre-tax is similar to the previous quarter ($27.3 million) attributed to the seasonally higher contribution from IA Auto and Home for the second quarter in a row.

      Income Taxes – The Company realized an extraordinary tax recovery in the fourth quarter of $0.32 per share ($32.7 million). Of this amount, $0.17 per share is related to tax-exempt investment income since 2006 under the Company's status as a multinational insurer, and the remaining $0.15 is related to a tax-loss recovery in our US operations.

      Business Growth – Total fee‑earning assets under management and administration rose 2% in the quarter and ended the period at $109.5 billion. Premiums and deposits of $1.8 billion were down by 2% in the quarter, reflecting lower wealth management inflows.

      In the retail sectors, insurance sales rose to $62.1 million (+9%) in the fourth quarter, reflecting favourable results in our Canadian and US life operations, as well as in our adjustable disability business (Excellence). Net investment fund inflows were $20.7 million, representing net sales of segregated funds ($88.7 million) offset by negative mutual fund sales (-$68.0 million).

      For the three Group Insurance divisions, sales grew by a total of 5% in the fourth quarter. In Dealer Services, sales of P&C products amounted to $37.6 million (+15%) while creditor insurance sales were stable at $90.5 million. Special Markets Solutions delivered $53.5 million in sales (+10%). Finally, Employee Plans sales of $7.5 million were down by 7% in the fourth quarter.

      In Group Savings and Retirement, where the top line can fluctuate widely because of the size of mandates awarded, sales of $229.1 million were down by 10% in the quarter.

      Capital – At December 31, 2014, the solvency ratio was 209% versus 215% at the previous quarter-end. The decrease in the quarter is related primarily to the redemption of the Series E preferred shares and the decline in interest rates, offset by the fourth quarter earnings contribution.

      Quality of Investments – At December 31, 2014, net impaired investments stood at 0.07% of total investments, the proportion of bonds rated BB and lower was 0.74% and the real estate occupancy rate was 91.0%. With respect to "in the news" items, the Company's direct exposure to the oil and gas sector is limited to 0.5% of the total bond portfolio.

      Dividend – The Board of Directors approved today a dividend of 28 cents per share on the Company's outstanding common shares. This dividend is payable on March 16, 2015 to shareholders of record at February 27, 2015.

      Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan – Registered shareholders wishing to enrol in the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan so as to be eligible to reinvest the next dividend payable on March 16, 2015 must ensure that the duly completed form is delivered to Computershare no later than 4:00 p.m. on February 20, 2015. Enrolment information is provided on the Company's website at www.inalco.com under Investor Relations/Dividends.

      Macroeconomic Sensitivity at December 31, 2014

      • The Company can absorb a sudden decrease of about 32% in the S&P/TSX index before having to strengthen reserves for future policyholder benefits (26% at September 30, 2014).
      • The Company can absorb a sudden decrease of 39% in the S&P/TSX index before the solvency ratio drops below 175% (41% at September 30, 2014) and a decrease of 51% before the solvency ratio drops below 150% (54% at September 30, 2014).
      • The full-year impact on net income attributed to common shareholders of a sudden 10% decrease in the stock markets is $28 million ($28 million also at September 30, 2014). This does not take into consideration any potential reserve strengthening.
      • The impact on net income attributed to common shareholders of a 10 basis point decrease in the initial and ultimate reinvestment rates totals $94 million ($91 million at September 30, 2014).

      Market Guidance for 2015

      • Earnings per common share: new target range of $3.80 to $4.20
      • Return on common shareholders' equity (ROE): target range remains at 11.0% to 12.5%
      • Solvency ratio: target range remains at 175% to 200%
      • Dividend payout ratio: payout range remains at 25% to 35% with the target being the mid-point
      • Effective tax rate: new target range of 18% to 20%
      • Strain on new business: new target of 30% (±5%) of sales in Individual Insurance

      Guidance for ROE and earnings per common share excludes any potential reserve strengthening in 2015.

      Redemption of Preferred Shares

      On December 31, 2014, Industrial Alliance redeemed all of its Non-Cumulative Class A Preferred Shares Series E then outstanding. The redemption price was $26.00 per share plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends, less any tax required to be deducted and withheld by Industrial Alliance.

      GENERAL INFORMATION

      Non-IFRS Financial Information
      The Company reports its financial results in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS). It also publishes certain non-IFRS financial measures that do not have an IFRS equivalent, including sales, value of new business and solvency ratio, or which have an IFRS equivalent such as data on operating profit and income taxes on earnings presented in the sources of earnings table. The Company also uses non-IFRS adjusted data in relation to net income, earnings per share and return on equity. These non-IFRS financial measures are always accompanied by and reconciled with IFRS financial measures. The Company believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide investors and analysts with additional information to better understand the Company's financial results as well as assess its growth and earnings potential. Since non-IFRS financial measures do not have a standardized definition, they may differ from the non-IFRS 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.

      Management will hold a conference call to present the Company's results on Thursday, February 12, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) (ET).
