Refer to the “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Presentation” section of the Corporation’s most recent Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the definition of non-IFRS financial measures and their reconciliation with IFRS financial measures.
(2) Effective the first quarter of 2020, the Corporation introduced a modified definition of its non-IFRS earnings measure, Adjusted net earnings. This change is consistent with the introduction of base earnings by Lifeco which was introduced in the first quarter of 2020 to reflect management’s view of the operating performance of Lifeco. Refer to the “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Presentation” section of the Corporation's most recent Management’s Discussion and Analysis for additional details on this measure. The comparative periods have been restated to reflect the introduction of this modified measure.
