      quarter of 2026.

      value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI);

      2026, and the secondary offering is expected to be 
      completed in the fourth quarter of 2026.

      positive contribution of $11 million from asset management activities and 
      a negative contribution of $34 million from investing activities, mainly 
      driven by a charge related to carried interest payable due to the fair 
      value increase of Wealthsimple; and 
 
   -- A negative contribution of $12 million from Power Sustainable comprised 
      of a negative contribution of $14 million from asset management 
      activities and a positive contribution of $2 million from investing

      earnings, were a net positive impact of $54 million, compared with a

      [2] within PSEIP due to a decrease in the fair value of projects held 
      within the fund, and the Corporation's share of positive fair value 
      remeasurements of derivatives, partially offset by the revaluation of NCI 
      liabilities within Power Sustainable Decarb PE (Decarb PE) due to an 
      increase in the fair value of a consolidated investment held within the 
      fund.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Accounting Standards unless otherwise noted and are the basis for the figures presented in this news release, unless otherwise noted.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

Net earnings attributable to participating shareholders are comprised of:

   -- Adjusted net earnings attributable to participating shareholders; and 
 
   -- Adjustments, which include the after-tax impact of any item that in 
      management's judgment, including those identified by management of 
      Great West and IGM, would make the period-over-period comparison of 
      results from operations less meaningful. Includes the Corporation's share 
      of Great West's impact of market-related impacts, where actual market 
      returns in the current period are different than longer-term expected 
      returns; assumption changes and management actions that impact the 
      measurement of assets and liabilities; direct equity and interest rate 
      impacts on the measurement of surplus assets and liabilities; and 
      amortization of acquisition-related finite life intangible assets, as 
      well as items that management believes are not indicative of the 
      underlying business results which include those identified by management 
      of a subsidiary or a jointly controlled corporation, including: business 
      transformation and other impacts (including restructuring or 
      reorganization and integration costs, acquisition and divestiture costs); 
      material legal settlements; material impairment charges; material impacts 
      of the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities including 
      those as a result of income tax rate changes, and other tax impairments; 
      certain non-recurring material items, net gains, losses or costs related 
      to the disposition or acquisition of a business, including those related 
      to an investment in an associate or jointly controlled corporation; 
      impacts related to remeasurements due to market changes that result in an 
      accounting mismatch including the remeasurement of derivatives where the 
      hedged item is not also measured at fair value and hedge accounting is 
      not applied, and the revaluation of redemption liabilities, share 
      warrants and conversion options on convertible and exchangeable debt 
      obligations; the impact of the revaluation of non-controlling interests 
      liabilities related to PSEIP and Power Sustainable Decarb PE which result 
      from changes in fair value of assets held within the fund, and the share 
      of earnings (losses) from the consolidated activities of PSEIP and Power 
      Sustainable Decarb PE attributable to third-party investors; and other 
      items that, when removed, assist in explaining underlying operating 
      performance. 

Management uses these financial measures in its presentation and analysis of the financial performance of Power Corporation, and believes that they provide additional meaningful information to readers in their analysis of the results of the Corporation. Adjusted net earnings, as defined by the Corporation, assists the reader in the comparison of the current period's results to those of previous periods as it reflects management's view of the operating performance of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, excluding items that are not considered to be part of the underlying business results.

Fee-related earnings is presented for Sagard and Power Sustainable and includes management fees and fee-related performance revenues earned across all asset classes, less investment platform expenses which include i) fee-related compensation including salary, bonus, and benefits, and ii) operating expenses. Fee-related performance revenues represents the realized portion of performance revenues from perpetual capital vehicles that are i) measured and expected to be received on a recurring basis, ii) not dependent on realization events from underlying investments, and iii) not subject to clawback. Fee-related earnings is presented on a gross pre-tax basis, including non-controlling interests. Fee-related earnings excludes i) share-based compensation expenses, ii) amortization of acquisition-related finite life intangible assets, iii) foreign exchange-related gains and losses, iv) net interest, and v) other items that in management's judgment are not indicative of underlying operating performance of the alternative asset investment platforms, which include restructuring costs, transaction and integration costs related to business acquisitions and certain non-recurring material items. Management uses this measure to assess the profitability of the asset management activities of the alternative asset investment platforms. This financial measure provides insight as to whether recurring revenues from management fees and fee-related performance revenues, which are not based on future realization events, are sufficient to cover associated operating expenses.

Adjusted net asset value is commonly used by holding companies to assess their value. Adjusted net asset value represents the fair value of the participating shareholders' equity of Power Corporation. Adjusted net asset value is calculated as the fair value of the assets of the combined Power Corporation and Power Financial holding company (also referred to as gross asset value) less their net debt and preferred shares. The investments held in public entities (including Great West, IGM and GBL) are measured at their market value and investments in private entities and investment funds are measured at management's estimate of fair value. The definition of adjusted net asset value involves a number of assumptions, judgments and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate, and the adjusted net asset value per share is not a representation or guarantee of the value a participating shareholder will be able to realize. This measure presents the fair value of the participating shareholders' equity of the holding company, and assists the reader in determining or comparing the fair value of investments held by the holding company or its overall fair value.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to participating shareholders, fee-related earnings, adjusted net asset value, adjusted net earnings per share and adjusted net asset value per share are non-IFRS financial measures and ratios that do not have a standard meaning and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other entities.

Presentation of Holding Company Activities

The Corporation's reportable segments include Great West, IGM and GBL, which represent the Corporation's investments in publicly traded operating companies, as well as the holding company. These reportable segments, in addition to the asset management activities, reflect Power Corporation's management structure and internal financial reporting. The Corporation evaluates its performance based on the operating segments' contributions to earnings.

The holding company comprises the corporate activities of the Corporation and Power Financial, on a combined basis, and presents the investment activities of the Corporation. The investment activities of the holding company, including the investments in Great West, IGM and controlled entities within the alternative asset investment platforms, are presented using the equity method. The holding company activities present the holding company's assets and liabilities, including cash, investments, debentures and non-participating shares. The discussions included in the sections Financial Position and Cash Flows of the Corporation's most recent MD&A present the segmented balance sheets and cash flow statements of the holding company, which are presented in Note 20 of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. This presentation is useful to the reader as it presents the holding company's (parent) results separately from the results of its consolidated operating subsidiaries.

Adjusted net asset value 
 
Adjusted net asset value represents management's estimate 
 of the fair value of the participating shareholders' 
 equity of the Corporation. Adjusted net asset value 
 is calculated as the fair value of the assets of the 
 combined Power Corporation and Power Financial holding 
 company less their net debt and preferred shares. 
 The Corporation's adjusted net asset value per share 
 is presented on a look-through basis. 
 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the participating shareholders' equity reported in accordance with IFRS to the adjusted net asset value, a non-IFRS financial measure:

      income taxes payable on such disposition would be 
      minimized through careful and prudent tax planning 
      and structuring, as well as with the use of available 
      tax attributes not otherwise recognized on the balance

Great West

Adjusted net earnings attributable to Great West's common shareholders

Adjusted net earnings ([1]) reflects Great West management's view of the underlying business performance of Great West and provides an alternate measure to understand the underlying business performance compared with net earnings. Adjusted net earnings excludes the following items from net earnings:

   -- Market-related impacts, where actual market returns in the current period 
      are different than longer-term expected returns; 
 
   -- Assumption changes and management actions that impact the measurement of 
      assets and liabilities; 
 
   -- Business transformation and other impacts, when removed, assist in 
      explaining Great West's underlying business performance, including 
      acquisition and divestiture costs and restructuring and integration 
      costs; 
 
   -- Material legal settlements, material impairment charges related to 
      goodwill and intangible assets, impacts of income tax rate changes on the 
      remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities and other tax 
      impairments, net gains, losses or costs related to the disposition or 
      acquisition of a business; net earnings (loss) from discontinued 
      operations; 
 
   -- The direct equity and interest rate impacts on the measurement of surplus 
      assets and liabilities; 
 
   -- Amortization of acquisition-related finite life intangible assets; and 
 
   -- Other items that, when removed, assist in explaining Great West's 
      underlying business performance.

IGM Financial

Adjusted net earnings attributable to IGM's common shareholders

Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders excludes Adjustments, which includes the after--tax impact of any item that management of IGM considers to be of a non--recurring nature, or that could make the period--over--period comparison of results from operations less meaningful. Adjusted net earnings also excludes IGM's proportionate share of items that Great West excludes from its IFRS-reported net earnings in arriving at Great West's base earnings.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this news release, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements based on certain assumptions and reflect the Corporation's current expectations, or with respect to disclosure regarding the Corporation's public subsidiaries, reflect such subsidiaries' disclosed current expectations. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purposes of assisting the reader in understanding the Corporation's financial performance, financial position and cash flows as at and for the periods ended on certain dates and to present information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future, and the reader is cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. These statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding the operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and capital commitments to strategies of the investment platforms, GBL's strategy to simplify its portfolio and the expected timing and impacts of its investments in direct private assets, the expected impacts of Great West's acquisition of the retirement plan and benefits administration business of Milliman, Inc., and the Corporation's subsidiaries' disclosed expectations. Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or include words such as "expects", "anticipates", "plans", "believes", "estimates", "seeks", "intends", "targets", "projects", "forecasts" or negative versions thereof and other similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "may", "will", "should", "would" and "could".

By its nature, this information is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific and which give rise to the possibility that expectations, forecasts, predictions, projections or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that assumptions may not be correct and that objectives, strategic goals and priorities will not be achieved. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond the Corporation's and its subsidiaries' control, affect the operations, performance and results of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and their businesses, and could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations of estimated or anticipated events or results. These factors include, but are not limited to: the impact or unanticipated impact of general economic, political and market factors in North America and internationally, fluctuations in interest rates, inflation and foreign exchange rates, monetary policies, business investment and the health of local and global equity and capital markets, management of market liquidity and funding risks, risks related to investments in private companies and illiquid securities, risks associated with financial instruments, changes in accounting policies and methods used to report financial condition (including uncertainties associated with significant judgments, estimates and assumptions), the effect of applying future accounting changes, business competition, operational and reputational risks, technological changes, cybersecurity risks, changes in government administrations, regulation, legislation and policies, changes in tax laws, the impacts of trade relations, ongoing trade tensions and fiscal policy developments, geopolitical tensions and related economic impacts, unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings, catastrophic events, man-made disasters, terrorist attacks, wars and other conflicts, or an outbreak of a public health pandemic or other public health crises, the Corporation's and its subsidiaries' ability to complete strategic transactions, integrate acquisitions and implement other growth strategies, the Corporation's and its subsidiaries' success in anticipating and managing the foregoing factors and with respect to forward-looking statements of the Corporation's subsidiaries disclosed in this news release, the factors identified by such subsidiaries in their respective MD&A.

The reader is cautioned to consider these and other factors, uncertainties and potential events carefully and not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Information contained in forward-looking statements is based upon certain material assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including management's perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, and that strategic transactions, acquisitions, divestitures or other growth or optimization strategies will be completed on expected terms, including that any required approvals will be received when and on such terms as are expected, as well as other considerations that are believed to be appropriate in the circumstances, including that the list of risks and uncertainties in the previous paragraph, collectively, are not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation and with respect to forward-looking statements of the Corporation's subsidiaries disclosed in this news release, that the risks identified by such subsidiaries in their respective MD&A and Annual Information Form are not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation. While the Corporation considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to management, they may prove to be incorrect.

Other than as specifically required by applicable Canadian law, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, whether as a result of new information, future events or results, or otherwise.

Additional information about the risks and uncertainties of the Corporation's business and material factors or assumptions on which information contained in forward-looking statements is based is provided in its disclosure materials, including its most recent annual MD&A and subsequent interim MD&A and Annual Information Form, filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and available at www.sedarplus.ca.
