TORONTO, Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Sun Life Financial Inc.(3) (SLF.TO) (SLF) had operating net income of $401 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to an operating loss of $572 million in the third quarter of 2011. Our operating EPS was $0.68 in the third quarter of 2012, compared to an operating loss per share of $0.99 in the third quarter of 2011. Reported net income was $383 million or $0.64 per share in the third quarter of 2012, compared to a reported loss of $621 million or a reported loss per share of $1.07 in the same period last year.

Our financial results in the third quarter reflect continued execution against our growth strategy, aided by management actions to improve the underlying profitability of our businesses. Market factors had no material impact in the quarter, as the positive impact of improved equity markets was largely offset by declines in the fixed income reinvestment rates in our insurance contract liabilities, which were driven by the continued low interest rate environment, and unfavourable impact from credit spread movements. Operating net income excluding the net impact of market factors(1) was $405 million. The following table sets out our operating net income measures for the third quarter of 2012.
