INVESTOR PRESENTATION
• DPW growth accelerated to a strong 15%, in the quarter driven by
average rate increases of across all regions, continued unit growth
and change in mix.
• DPW growth was up 8% for the full year driven by rate increases. Our
competitive position is improving and driving unit momentum, as the
industry continues to raise rates.
• Given the usual Q4 seasonality impact, the combined ratio was strong
at 96.5%.
• PYD was in line with expectations.

Personal auto commentary:
• DPW growth was strong at 9% in the quarter and 7% for the full year,
driven by rate increases and continued unit growth.
• Combined ratio was strong at 82.0% after absorbing 8.5 points of
CAT losses, mainly due to the late October storm in Central Canada
• Underlying current year loss ratio improved by 3.6 points to a solid
43.5% mainly due to the impact of higher earned rates and lower non-
CAT weather-related losses.

Q4-19 Personal Lines Performance
INVESTOR PRESENTATION
• Strong DPW growth of 12% in the quarter and 12% for the full year,
with contributions from all lines, led by continued rate increases. In
Q4-2019, commercial auto premiums were tempered by profitability
measures and slower growth from the sharing economy.
• Combined ratio deteriorated to 93.5%, mainly due to lower level of
favourable PYD as improved underlying performance was offset by
higher CAT losses.
• CAT loss ratio of 7.5% was above expectations, with roughly two third
of losses non-weather related.
• DPW growth of 5% in the quarter and 8% for the full year on a constant
currency basis was driven by rate increases and strong growth in
profitable lines. Market conditions are favourable and continue to
improve.
• Combined ratio of 88.8% reflected the seasonality of our operations
and improved 7.9 pts driven by our profitability actions, including
improved business mix.
• CAT loss ratio of 1.0% was lower than last year’s elevated level, which
reflected the impact of Hurricane Michael and large commercial fires.

• PYD can fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year and, therefore, should be evaluated over longer periods of time.
• We expect average favourablePYD as a percentage of opening reserves to be in the 1-3% range over the long-term.
• In the near-term, we expect to be at the lower end of the range.
• Our consistent track record of positive reserve development reflects our preference to take a conservative approach to establishing and managing claims reserves.

management currently expects;

policies that the Company writes;

obligations under its pension plans;

with the Acquisition and integration post-closing of the Acquisition;

Insurance Group, Ltd. (“OB Acquisition”);

losses, as well as the impact of climate change;

• the Company’s reliance on information technology and
telecommunications systems and potential failure of or disruption to those
systems, including in the context of evolving cybersecurity risk;

Company’s products and distribution;
• the Company’s dependence on and ability to retain key employees;

prices of the Company’s securities;
• the Company’s ability to hedge exposures to fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates;
• future sales of a substantial number of its common shares; and
• changes in applicable tax laws, tax treaties or tax regulations or the
interpretation or enforcement thereof.
All of the forward-looking statements included in this Presentation, the Q4-2019 MD&A and the quarterly earnings press release dated February 4, 2020 are qualified by these cautionary statements and those made in the section entitled Risk
management (Sections 22-27) of our MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2019. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect the Company. These factors should, however, be considered carefully.
Although the forward-looking statements are based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. When relying on
forward-looking statements to make decisions, investors should ensure the preceding information is carefully considered. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements made herein. The Company and management have no
intention and undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Disclaimer
Important notes:
➢ Effective in Q1-2019, we improved the way we report the performance of our distribution channel and investment/other expenses, to better align our reporting with how management views the results of our business. We have reclassified comparative figures in order to ensure comparability and consistency with this new presentation. For further details, see Section 29 - Presentation changes of the Q4-2019 MD&A.
➢ Unless otherwise noted, DPW refer to DPW normalized for the effect of multi-year policies, excluding industry pools, fronting and exited lines (referred to as “DPW” in this Presentation). See Section 30 for details on exited lines and Table 29 for the reconciliation to DPW of the Q4-2019 MD&A, as reported under IFRS. All underwriting results and related ratios exclude the MYA and the results of our U.S. Commercial exited lines, unless otherwise noted. The expense and general expense ratios are presented herein net of other underwriting revenues.
➢ When relevant, we present measures on a proforma basis. 2019 DPW (proforma) include the 2019 annual premiums of The Guarantee Company of North America (“The Guarantee”) to better reflect our premiums level going forward. Combined ratio (proforma) for the U.S. exclude the impact of the Healthcare business in both years to enhance the analysis of trends (see Section 7.2 – P&C U.S.) market share reflects the impact of announced or completed acquisitions and are therefore presented on a proforma basis.
➢ When relevant, we present changes in constant currency, which exclude the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from one period to the other, to enhance the analysis of our results with comparative periods. See Section 31 – Non-IFRS financial measures of the Q4-2019 MD&A.
➢ Regulatory Capital Ratios refer to MCT (as defined by OSFI and the AMF in Canada) and RBC (as defined by the NAIC in the U.S.). All references to “total capital margin” in this Presentation include the aggregate of capital in excess of company action levels in regulated entities (170% MCT, 200% RBC and other CALs in other jurisdictions) plus available cash in unregulated entities.
➢ Unless otherwise noted, market share and market related data for P&C Canada are based on the latest available annual market data (2018) from MSA Research Inc. (“MSA”) and excludes LIoyd’s Underwriters Canada, Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, Saskatchewan Government Insurance, Saskatchewan Auto Fund, Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Company Canada and Canada Guaranty Mortgage Insurance Company. MSA data excludes certain Québec regulated entities.
➢ Certain totals, subtotals and percentages may not agree due to rounding. Not meaningful (nm) is used to indicate that the current and prior year figures are not comparable, not meaningful, or if the percentage change exceeds 1,000%.
This Presentation does not constitute or form part of any offer for sale or solicitation of any offer to buy or subscribe for any securities nor shall it or any part of it form the basis of or be relied on in connection
with, or act as any inducement to enter into, any contract or commitment whatsoever.

evaluating whether or not to make an investment in the Company. The information is qualified entirely by reference to the Company’s publicly disclosed information.

The Company uses both International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and certain non-IFRS measures to assess performance. Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by
IFRS and may not be comparable to any similar measures presented by other companies. Management analyzes performance based on underwriting ratios such as combined, expense, loss and claims ratios,
MCT, RBC and debt-to-total capital, as well as other non-IFRS financial measures, namely DPW, change or growth in constant currency, Underlying current year loss ratio, Underwriting income (loss),
Underwriting expenses, NEP, NOI, NOIPS, OROE, ROE, AROE, Non-operating results, Net distribution income, Adjusted net income, AEPS, Total net claims, and Total capital margin. These measures and
other insurance related terms are defined in the Company’s glossary available on the Intact Financial Corporation website at www.intactfc.com in the “Investors” section. Additional information about the
Company, including the Annual Information Form, may be found online on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
