Publicly traded operating companies: contribution to net earnings was $535 million and to adjusted net earnings was $682 million, representing a decrease of 48.7% and an increase of 11.3%, respectively, from the first quarter of 2022:

Lifeco: contribution to net and adjusted net earnings decreased by 54.5% and increased by 15.8%, respectively. The adoption of IFRS 17 on January 1, 2023 has introduced net earnings volatility, primarily driven by the removal of the direct link between asset and liability measurement and Lifeco's accounting policy decisions that were made to maintain regulatory capital stability.

IGM: contribution to net and adjusted net earnings increased by 75.6% and decreased by 5.2%, respectively. Net earnings in the first quarter of 2023 include IGM's gain recognized on the sale of a portion of its interest in Lifeco to the Corporation, eliminated in the Effect of consolidation.

GBL: contribution to net earnings of $19 million. Results include the Corporation's share of a charge of $20 million in the first quarter of 2023 for losses due to an increase in the put right liability of the non-controlling interests in Webhelp and charges related to Webhelp's employee incentive plan. Upon completion of the Webhelp and Concentrix combination transaction, expected by the end of 2023, GBL's liabilities to non-controlling interests will be extinguished without any cash impact for GBL.

Sagard Holdings Inc. (Sagard) and Power Sustainable Capital Inc. (Power Sustainable): net earnings include a negative contribution of $77 million from Power Sustainable, mainly related to a charge for the revaluation of non-controlling interests of $33 million due to fair value increases within the Power Sustainable Energy Infrastructure Partnership (PSEIP) and operating losses in its energy infrastructure platform. Sagard had a negative contribution of $11 million.

ChinaAMC: net earnings include a charge of $54 million related to the sale of the Corporation's interest in ChinaAMC to IGM, primarily consisting of transaction costs and income taxes. As the Power group continues to hold a 27.8% interest in ChinaAMC, the Corporation did not recognize a gain on the disposal of its interest.

Adjustments in the first quarter of 2023, excluded from adjusted net earnings, were a negative net impact to earnings of $201 million or $0.30 per share, mainly related to the Corporation's share of Lifeco's adjustments and charges incurred by the Corporation related to the combination of the group's interest in ChinaAMC under IGM, including transaction costs and income taxes. Adjustments in the first quarter of 2022 were a positive net impact to earnings of $420 million or $0.63 per share, mainly related to the Corporation's share of Lifeco's adjustments and the Corporation's share of an impairment charge of $10 million recognized by Power Sustainable on direct investments in energy assets.

Transition to IFRS 17 and IFRS 9

The Corporation and its subsidiaries adopted IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17) which replaced IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts (IFRS 4) effective January 1, 2023. IFRS 17 impacted only Lifeco due to its insurance activities. While the new standard changes Lifeco's recognition and measurement of insurance contracts and the corresponding presentation and disclosures in the Corporation's financial statements, it did not have a material impact. The accounting change does not impact the underlying economics of Lifeco's business activities nor change Lifeco's business strategy. The Corporation and its subsidiaries also adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9) which replaced IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement effective January 1, 2023, which did not lead to a material change in the level of investments. The Corporation has also applied IFRS 9 as at January 1, 2023 when applying the equity method of accounting to GBL's results. Lifeco expects an increase in net earnings volatility primarily driven by the de-linking of asset and liability measurement and accounting policy decisions to maintain regulatory capital stability.

The Corporation's January 1, 2022 participating shareholders' equity decreased by approximately 10% on the adoption of IFRS 17 on January 1, 2023, in line with original expectations, primarily due to Lifeco's establishment of the contractual service margin (CSM), partially offset by the removal of provisions no longer required under IFRS 17.

Dividend on Power Corporation Participating Shares

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 52.50 cents per share on the Participating Preferred Shares and the Subordinate Voting Shares of the Corporation, payable August 1, 2023 to shareholders of record June 30, 2023.

[1]	Includes management fees charged by the investment platforms on proprietary capital and management of standalone businesses. Management fees paid by the Corporation are deducted from income from investing activities.
[2]	Includes the Corporation's share of earnings (losses) of Wealthsimple. The first quarter of 2022 included a reversal of carried interest payable of $13 million, due to a decrease in the fair value of Wealthsimple in the quarter. The net decrease in fair value of the Corporation's investments, including its investments held through Power Financial, in Portage Ventures I, Portage Ventures II, Portage Ventures III, and Wealthsimple was $6 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, compared with a decrease of $143 million in fair value in the corresponding period in 2022.
[3]	The fair value of the Corporation's investments was $664 million at March 31, 2023, compared with $666 million at December 31, 2022. On adoption of IFRS 9 on January 1, 2023, the Corporation has classified its investments in Chinese public equities as fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), an elective classification for equity instruments in which all fair value changes remain permanently in equity. Going forward, the contribution from investing activities will consist of dividend income and management and performance fee expenses. In the first quarter of 2022, the Corporation recognized realized losses on the disposal of investments in Power Sustainable China of $54 million, and recognized $13 million in impairments due to declines in Chinese equity markets.
[4]	The first quarter of 2023 includes the Corporation's share of carried interest expense of $9 million, which resulted from an increase in fair value of assets held in PSEIP and operating losses mainly related to seasonality. The first quarter of 2022 included a gain on derivative contracts hedging energy infrastructure projects of $12 million and excluded a charge of $10 million due to impairments on direct investments in energy infrastructure assets, recorded as an Adjustment (see the section Adjustments below).
[5]	The first quarter of 2023 includes a charge of $33 million related to the Corporation's share of the revaluation of non-controlling interests liabilities which mainly resulted from an increase in fair value of assets held in PSEIP. The NAV of PSEIP was $1,159 million at March 31, 2023, compared with $1,035 million at December 31, 2022. The Corporation controls and consolidates the activities of PSEIP on a historical cost basis; however, equity interests held by third parties have redemption features and are classified as a financial liability which are remeasured at their redemption value.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2023 of the Corporation, which reflect the adoption of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 that resulted in the restatement of certain comparative amounts, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 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 its publicly traded operating companies, would make the period-over-period comparison of results from operations less meaningful. Includes the Corporation's share of Lifeco's impact of market-related impacts, where actual market returns in the current period are different than longer-term expected returns on assets and liabilities, assumption changes and management actions that impact the measurement of assets and liabilities, realized gains (losses) on the sale of assets measured at FVOCI, 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 a subsidiary or a jointly controlled corporation. Items that management and management of its subsidiaries believe are not indicative of the underlying business results include restructuring or reorganization costs, integration costs related to business acquisitions, material legal settlements, material impairment charges, impact of substantially enacted income tax rate changes and other tax impairments, certain non-recurring material items, and net gains, losses or costs related to the disposition or acquisition of a business.

Effective the first quarter of 2023, the Corporation introduced a refined definition of its non-IFRS financial measure, adjusted net earnings. This change is consistent with the introduction of a refined definition of base earnings (losses) by Lifeco with the adoption of IFRS 17 on January 1, 2023. Lifeco's base earnings (losses) continues to represent its management's view of the underlying business performance of Lifeco and provides an alternate measure to understand the underlying business performance of Lifeco compared to its IFRS-reported net earnings. The definition of Adjustments continues to include what the Corporation previously presented, including Lifeco's impact of assumption changes and management actions that impact the measurement of assets and liabilities, and market-related impacts where actual market returns in the current period are different than longer-term expected returns on assets and liabilities. The definition of Lifeco's base earnings has been refined to also exclude the following impacts that are included in IFRS-reported net earnings for an improved representation of Lifeco's underlying business performance, as well as for consistency and comparability with its financial services peers:

Realized gains (losses) on the sale of assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;
The direct equity and interest rate impacts on the measurement of surplus assets and liabilities; and
Amortization of acquisition-related finite life intangible assets.

The Corporation updated its definition of adjusted net earnings in line with Lifeco's change. The comparative periods have been restated to reflect this change.

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 comparing 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 and excludes 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 revenues from management fees earned across all asset classes, less i) fee-related compensation including salary, bonus, and benefits, and ii) operating expenses. Fee-related earnings is presented on a gross basis, including non-controlling interests. Fee-related earnings excludes i) share-based compensation expenses, ii) amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, 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, 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 less their net debt and preferred shares. The investments held in public entities (including Lifeco, 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. 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, gross 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 Lifeco, 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 segment's contribution 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 Lifeco, 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 sheet and cash flow statement of the holding company, which are presented in Note 23 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.

The Corporation has tax attributes (not otherwise recognized on the balance sheet) that could be available to minimize the tax if the Corporation were to dispose of its interests held in the standalone businesses.
[6]	In accordance with IAS 12, Income Taxes, no deferred tax liability is recognized with respect to temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled corporations as the Corporation is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. If the Corporation were to dispose of an investment in a subsidiary or a jointly controlled corporation, 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 sheet, including tax losses, tax basis, safe income and foreign tax surplus associated with the subsidiary or jointly controlled corporation.
[7]	At December 31, 2022, an additional deferred tax liability of $37 million was included in the adjusted net asset value related to the investment in ChinaAMC at fair value.

Lifeco

ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LIFECO'S COMMON SHAREHOLDERS

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

Market-related impacts, where actual market returns in the current period are different than longer-term expected returns on assets and liabilities;
Assumption changes and management actions that impact the measurement of assets and liabilities;
