TORONTO, Aug. 22, 2024 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group ("TD" or the "Bank") today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended July 31, 2024. Reported earnings were a loss of $181 million, compared with reported earnings of $2,881 million in the third quarter last year, and adjusted earnings were $3.6 billion, relatively flat. The Bank's reported results include the impact of the US$2,600 million provision for investigations related to the Bank's anti-money laundering (AML) program, which, together with the provision taken last quarter in connection with this matter, reflects the Bank's current estimate of the total fines related to this matter. "TD delivered record revenue and net income in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, continued operating momentum in the U.S., and strong results across our markets-driven businesses," said Bharat Masrani, Group President and CEO, TD Bank Group. "We continued to invest in new and innovative capabilities and expanded our product offerings to better serve our customers and clients." Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking delivered record net income and revenue supported by continued volume growth and strong operating leverage Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net income was $1,872 million, an increase of 13% compared to the third quarter last year, reflecting higher revenue, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and provisions for credit losses. The segment delivered record revenue of $5,003 million, an increase of 9%, primarily reflecting volume growth and margin expansion. Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking grew its leading deposit franchise with another strong quarter for account openings. TD further expanded its market-leading credit card business to reach a milestone of more than 8 million active accounts and delivered market share gains in Real Estate Secured Lending while supporting its growing customer base. This quarter, TD added more value for New to Canada customers, including offers for both TD Direct Investing and the TD Cash Back Visa Card. The Bank also enhanced its TD Student Line of Credit offering, supporting Canada's next generation of doctors, dentists, and veterinarians. In addition, Business Banking launched TD Innovation Partners, a full-service banking and financing solutions platform for technology and innovation companies. The U.S. Retail Bank delivered operating momentum in a challenging environment U.S. Retail reported net loss for the quarter was $2,275 million (US$1,658 million), compared with reported net income of $1,305 million (US$977 million) in the third quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, net income was $1,291 million (US$942 million), a decrease of $77 million (US$83 million). Reported net income for the quarter from the Bank's investment in The Charles Schwab Corporation ("Schwab") was $178 million (US$129 million), a decrease of $13 million (US$13 million). The U.S. Retail Bank, which excludes the Bank's investment in Schwab, reported net loss was $2,453 million (US$1,787 million), compared with reported net income of $1,114 million (US$835 million) in the third quarter last year, primarily reflecting the impact of the provision for investigations related to the Bank's AML program. On an adjusted basis net income was $1,113 million, a decrease of $64 million from the third quarter last year, primarily reflecting higher PCL and higher non-interest expenses, partially offset by higher revenue. In U.S. dollars, adjusted net income was US$813 million, a decrease of US$70 million, reflecting higher PCL and lower revenue. This quarter, the U.S. Retail Bank continued to deliver strong operating momentum with stable deposits excluding Schwab sweep deposits, and year-over-year peer-leading loan growth. The Commercial Banking Middle Market loan balances and lending fees grew 18% and 9% respectively year-over-year. In addition, TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank® ranked highest among national banks in the J.D.

Power 2024 U.S. Dealer Financing Satisfaction Study[2]. Wealth Management and Insurance delivered record revenue while net income reflects impact from severe weather events Wealth Management and Insurance net income was $430 million, relatively flat compared with the third quarter last year. Driven by strong business fundamentals, Wealth Management and Insurance delivered record revenues of $3,349 million reflecting higher insurance premiums, asset growth, higher deposit margins, and increased trades per day in the Direct Investing business. TD Insurance reported higher claims costs due to severe weather events in the Greater Toronto Area and wildfires in Alberta, in addition to increased claims severity. Wealth Management and Insurance continued to invest in client-centric innovation this quarter. TD Direct Investing was the first bank-owned brokerage in Canada to launch partial shares trading, enabling investors to buy and sell a fraction of stocks and exchange-traded funds. TD Insurance supported customers and communities in their moments of need by providing advice and assistance to those impacted by severe weather-related events this quarter. Wholesale Banking continued its growth, with revenues up on broader and stronger capabilities Wholesale Banking reported net income for the quarter was $317 million, an increase of $45 million compared with the third quarter last year, primarily reflecting higher revenues, partially offset by higher PCL and non-interest expenses. On an adjusted basis, net income was $377 million, flat compared to the third quarter last year. Revenue for the quarter was $1,795 million, an increase of $227 million, or 14%, compared with the third quarter last year, reflecting higher trading-related revenue, lending revenue, advisory and underwriting fees. This quarter, Wholesale Banking continued to gain momentum across its banking and markets businesses. In June, TD Securities colleagues across North America participated in the annual TD Securities Underwriting Hope Campaign, which raised more than $2.1 million in support of children and youth-related charities.  Update on TD's AML remediation program TD is undertaking a remediation of its U.S. AML Program. As part of this work, the Bank has been making investments in its risk and control infrastructure, including onboarding leadership with deep subject matter expertise supported by increased staffing resources, implementing new cross-functional procedures for preventing, detecting and reporting suspicious activity; and investing in data and technology, training and process design to enable improved transaction monitoring and data analytics capabilities. Capital TD's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 12.8%. Conclusion "Looking ahead, TD is strong and well-positioned to navigate the macroeconomic environment, invest in both our AML remediation program and our business, and continue to deepen our relationships with our nearly 28 million customers and clients," added Masrani.

Refer to Note 2 of the Bank's third quarter 2024 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. 2 The Toronto-Dominion Bank ("TD" or the "Bank") prepares its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS, the current GAAP, and refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS as the "reported" results. The Bank also utilizes non-GAAP financial measures such as "adjusted" results and non-GAAP ratios to assess each of its businesses and to measure overall Bank performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank adjusts reported results for "items of note". Refer to "Significant and Subsequent Events" and "How We Performed" sections of this document for further explanation, a list of the items of note, and a reconciliation of adjusted to reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios used in this document are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. 3  These measures have been included in this document in accordance with the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada's (OSFI's) Capital Adequacy Requirements, Leverage Requirements, and Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) guidelines. Refer to the "Capital Position" section in the third quarter of 2024 MD&A for further details. 4  For additional information about this metric, refer to the Glossary in the third quarter of 2024 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference. 5  Efficiency ratio – adjusted, net of ISE is calculated by dividing adjusted non‑interest expenses by adjusted total revenue, net of ISE. Adjusted total revenue, net of ISE – Q3 2024: $12,569 million, Q2 2024: $12,635 million, Q3 2023: $11,762 million, 2024 YTD: $37,609 million, 2023 YTD: $35,127 million. Effective the first quarter of 2024, the composition of this non-GAAP ratio and the comparative amounts have been revised. 6  Toronto Stock Exchange closing market price. 7  Not meaningful. SIGNIFICANT AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS  a) Investigations Related to the Bank's AML Program The Bank continues to actively pursue a global resolution of the civil and criminal investigations into its U.S. Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)/AML program (the "AML Program") by its U.S. prudential regulators, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). For additional information about these matters, including provisions recorded in connection with such investigations, refer to Note 19 of the Bank's third quarter 2024 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. As previously disclosed, the Bank is undertaking a remediation of its AML Program. This is a cross-functional undertaking, spanning business lines and control functions, and is a priority for the Bank. As part of this work, the Bank has been making investments in its risk and controls infrastructure, including: (i) onboarding leadership with deep subject matter expertise supported by increased staffing resources; (ii) implementing new cross-functional procedures for preventing, detecting, and reporting suspicious activity; (iii) investing in training and process design; and (iv) investing in data and technology to enable improved transaction monitoring and data analytics capabilities. The Bank has established a dedicated program management infrastructure to monitor execution against the remediation program. This work is being overseen by an Interim AML/BSA Committee of the U.S. subsidiary boards and is expected to be a multi-year endeavour, involving additional investments. b) Restructuring Charges The Bank continued to undertake certain measures in the third quarter of 2024 to reduce its cost base and achieve greater efficiency. In connection with these measures, the Bank incurred $110 million and $566 million, respectively, of restructuring charges for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, which primarily relate to employee severance and other personnel-related costs and real estate optimization. The restructuring program has concluded. c) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Special Assessment On November 16, 2023, the FDIC announced a final rule that implements a special assessment to recover the losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund arising from the protection of uninsured depositors during the U.S. bank failures in the spring of 2023. The special assessment resulted in the recognition of $411 million (US$300 million) pre-tax in non-interest expenses in the first quarter of the Bank's fiscal 2024. On February 23, 2024, the FDIC notified all institutions subject to the special assessment that its estimate of total losses increased compared to the amount communicated with the final rule in November 2023. Accordingly, the Bank recognized an additional expense for the special assessment of $103 million (US$75 million) in the second quarter of the Bank's fiscal 2024. The final amount of the Bank's special assessment may be further updated as the FDIC determines the actual losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund. d) Sale of Schwab Common Shares On August 21, 2024, the Bank announced that it had sold 40.5 million shares of common stock of Schwab. The shares are sold for proceeds of approximately $3.4 billion (US$2.5 billion). The share sale will reduce the Bank's ownership interest in Schwab from 12.3% to 10.1%. The Bank is expected to recognize approximately $1.0 billion (US$0.7 billion) as other income (net of $0.5 billion (US$0.4 billion) loss from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) reclassified to earnings), in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. HOW WE PERFORMED HOW THE BANK REPORTS The Bank prepares its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS and refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS as "reported" results. Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures In addition to reported results, the Bank also presents certain financial measures, including non-GAAP financial measures that are historical, non-GAAP ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures, to assess its results. Non-GAAP financial measures, such as "adjusted" results, are utilized to assess the Bank's businesses and to measure the Bank's overall performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank adjusts for "items of note" from reported results. Items of note are items which management does not believe are indicative of underlying business performance and are disclosed in Table 3. Non-GAAP ratios include a non-GAAP financial measure as one or more of its components. Examples of non-GAAP ratios include adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted dividend payout ratio, adjusted efficiency ratio, net of ISE, and adjusted effective income tax rate. The Bank believes that non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Bank's performance. Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios used in this document are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. Supplementary financial measures depict the Bank's financial performance and position, and capital management measures depict the Bank's capital position, and both are explained in this document where they first appear. U.S. Strategic Cards The Bank's U.S. strategic cards portfolio is comprised of agreements with certain U.S. retailers pursuant to which TD is the U.S. issuer of private label and co-branded consumer credit cards to their U.S. customers. Under the terms of the individual agreements, the Bank and the retailers share in the profits generated by the relevant portfolios after credit losses. Under IFRS, TD is required to present the gross amount of revenue and PCL related to these portfolios in the Bank's Interim Consolidated Statement of Income. At the segment level, the retailer program partners' share of revenues and credit losses is presented in the Corporate segment, with an offsetting amount (representing the partners' net share) recorded in Non-interest expenses, resulting in no impact to Corporate's reported net income (loss). The net income (loss) included in the U.S. Retail segment includes only the portion of revenue and credit losses attributable to TD under the agreements. Investment in The Charles Schwab Corporation and IDA Agreement On October 6, 2020, the Bank acquired an approximately 13.5% stake in The Charles Schwab Corporation ("Schwab") following the completion of Schwab's acquisition of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation ("TD Ameritrade") of which the Bank was a major shareholder (the "Schwab transaction"). On August 1, 2022, the Bank sold 28.4 million non-voting common shares of Schwab, which reduced the Bank's ownership interest in Schwab to approximately 12.0%. The Bank accounts for its investment in Schwab using the equity method. The U.S. Retail segment reflects the Bank's share of net income from its investment in Schwab. The Corporate segment net income (loss) includes amounts for amortization of acquired intangibles, the acquisition and integration charges related to the Schwab transaction, and the Bank's share of restructuring and other charges incurred by Schwab. The Bank's share of Schwab's earnings available to common shareholders is reported with a one-month lag. For further details, refer to Note 7 of the Bank's third quarter 2024 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. On November 25, 2019, the Bank and Schwab signed an insured deposit account agreement (the "2019 Schwab IDA Agreement"), with an initial expiration date of July 1, 2031. Under the 2019 Schwab IDA Agreement, starting July 1, 2021, Schwab had the option to reduce the deposits by up to US$10 billion per year (subject to certain limitations and adjustments), with a floor of US$50 billion. In addition, Schwab requested some further operational flexibility to allow for the sweep deposit balances to fluctuate over time, under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations. On May 4, 2023, the Bank and Schwab entered into an amended insured deposit account agreement (the "2023 Schwab IDA Agreement"), which replaced the 2019 Schwab IDA Agreement. Pursuant to the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement, the Bank continues to make sweep deposit accounts available to clients of Schwab. Schwab designates a portion of the deposits with the Bank as fixed-rate obligation amounts (FROA). Remaining deposits over FROA are designated as floating-rate obligations. In comparison to the 2019 Schwab IDA Agreement, the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement extends the initial expiration date by three years to July 1, 2034 and provides for lower deposit balances in its first six years, followed by higher balances in the later years. Specifically, until September 2025, the aggregate FROA will serve as the floor. Thereafter, the floor will be set at US$60 billion. In addition, Schwab has the option to buy down up to $6.8 billion (US$5 billion) of FROA by paying the Bank certain fees in accordance with the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement, subject to certain limits. Refer to the "Related Party Transactions" section in the 2023 MD&A for further details. During the first quarter of 2024, Schwab exercised its option to buy down the remaining $0.7 billion (US$0.5 billion) of the US$5 billion FROA buydown allowance and paid $32 million (US$23 million) in termination fees to the Bank in accordance with the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement. By the end of the first quarter of 2024, Schwab had completed its buy down of the full US$5 billion FROA buydown allowance and had paid a total of $337 million (US$250 million) in termination fees to the Bank. The fees were intended to compensate the Bank for losses incurred from discontinuing certain hedging relationships and for lost revenues. The net impact was recorded in net interest income. The following table provides the operating results on a reported basis for the Bank.  TABLE 2: OPERATING RESULTS – Reported (millions of Canadian dollars) For the three months ended For the nine months ended July 31 April 30 July 31 July 31 July 31 2024 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net interest income $ 7,579 $ 7,465 $ 7,289 $ 22,532 $ 22,450 Non-interest income1 6,597 6,354 5,625 19,177 15,062 Total revenue1 14,176 13,819 12,914 41,709 37,512 Provision for (recovery of) credit losses 1,072 1,071 766 3,144 2,055 Insurance service expenses1 1,669 1,248 1,386 4,283 3,668 Non-interest expenses1 11,012 8,401 7,359 27,443 22,227 Income before income taxes and share of net income from investment in Schwab1 423 3,099 3,403 6,839 9,562 Provision for (recovery of) income taxes1 794 729 704 2,157 2,502 Share of net income from investment in Schwab 190 194 182 525 708 Net income (loss) – reported1 (181) 2,564 2,881 5,207 7,768 Preferred dividends and distributions on other equity instruments 69 190 74 333 367 Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders1 $ (250) $ 2,374 $ 2,807 $ 4,874 $ 7,401 1  For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023, certain amounts have been restated for the adoption of IFRS 17.
