IFC pre-announced its 2Q26 catastrophe losses of C$416m, including C$252m in

Personal Property Canada, C$121m in UK&I, C$37m in Commercial Lines Canada and

C$6m in Personal Auto Canada (pre-tax and net of reinsurance). The pre-announced

numbers are higher than 2Q's 10-year average of ~C$160m. IFC also announced that

the impact of large losses within the underlying current year loss ratio was above
