TORONTO, Aug. 29, 2013 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group (TD or the Bank) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended July 31, 2013. Results for the quarter reflected strong contributions from TD's personal and commercial banking operations in Canada and the U.S., as well as TD's Wealth business.
"TD delivered adjusted earnings of $1.6 billion in the third quarter, down 13% from a year ago. Our third quarter results reflect very strong performances in our Canadian banking, Wealth and U.S. banking businesses, offset by losses previously announced in our Insurance business as a result of a combination of severe weather-related impacts and increased general insurance claims," said Ed Clark, Group President and Chief Executive Officer. "Today we also announced a dividend increase of 4 cents per common share, which is our second dividend increase this year, and is consistent with our stated aim to increase the dividend payout ratio over time. This means that our fiscal 2013 paid dividend will increase 12% since 2012, demonstrating the Board's confidence in our continuing ability to deliver long-term earnings growth."
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking posted reported net income of
$973 million in the third quarter. On an adjusted basis, net income was
$997 million, up 12% compared with the third quarter last year. These
earnings reflect continued good loan and deposit volume growth,
favourable credit performance and effective expense management.
"This was a very good quarter for our Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking businesses," said Tim Hockey, Group Head, Canadian Banking, Auto Finance, and Wealth Management. "We were recognized once again by J.D. Power and Associates, which gave us an eighth-straight win in customer satisfaction among the Big Five Canadian retail banks. Our continued focus on providing industry-leading customer service and convenience, as well as strategically investing in our business, will position us well for the future."
Wealth and Insurance
Wealth and Insurance delivered net income of $7 million for the quarter,
compared to net income of $360 million in the third quarter last year.
Higher earnings from Wealth and TD Ameritrade were largely offset by
losses in the Insurance business. On July 30, TD pre-announced a third
quarter expected net loss in its Insurance business as a result of
charges of approximately $418 million after tax. TD Ameritrade
contributed $69 million in earnings to the segment, an increase of 23%
compared to the third quarter last year.
TD's Wealth business had a strong third quarter, driven primarily by asset growth and higher trading volumes. Continued strong performance is expected for the remainder of the year, with an ongoing focus on providing exceptional client experiences and managing expenses prudently.
TD Insurance posted a third quarter loss of $243 million after tax, the result of charges of approximately $418 million after tax, from a combination of severe weather-related impacts and increased general insurance claims.
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking adjusted net income for the quarter
was US$432 million, an increase of 22% compared with the third quarter
last year. Results were driven by strong loan and deposit volume
growth, improvement in credit quality and higher gains on sales of
securities and debt securities classified as loans, partially offset by
lower margins.
"TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank, had a good third quarter," said Mike Pedersen, Group Head, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking. "We are encouraged by the U.S. economic recovery, but the environment remains challenging. We will continue building on our brand promise of legendary customer service and convenience."
Wholesale Banking
Wholesale Banking generated $147 million in net income for the quarter,
a decrease of 18% compared with the third quarter last year, driven by
lower trading-related revenue, partially offset by lower non-interest
expenses.
"While this quarter's Wholesale results were below expectations, our business fundamentals remain strong," said Bob Dorrance, Group Head, Wholesale Banking. "Despite uncertainty about the economic environment, we remain confident about the success of our diversified, client-focused franchise businesses."
Capital
TD's Common Equity Tier 1 ratio on a Basel III fully phased-in basis was
8.9%, up from 8.8% last quarter.
Conclusion
"Our results this quarter demonstrate the strength of our diversified
business model, as evidenced by very strong results in a number of
businesses, the dividend increase announced today, and our higher
capital ratio," said Clark. "For the remainder of the year, we will
continue to manage expense growth while strategically investing in our
businesses. I'm confident we have the right strategy, brand and team to
deliver on our vision to be The Better Bank."

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements From time to time, the Bank makes written and/or oral forward-looking statements, including in this document, in other filings with Canadian regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and in other communications. In addition, representatives of the Bank may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. All such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbour" provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under, applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements made in this document, the Management's Discussion and Analysis in the Bank's 2012 Annual Report ("2012 MD&A") under the headings "Economic Summary and Outlook", for each business segment "Business Outlook and Focus for 2013" and in other statements regarding the Bank's objectives and priorities for 2013 and beyond and strategies to achieve them, and the Bank's anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "will", "should", "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "may", and "could". By their very nature, these forward-looking statements require the Bank to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific. Especially in light of the uncertainty related to the physical, financial, economic, political, and regulatory environments, such risks and uncertainties - many of which are beyond the Bank's control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict - may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause such differences include: credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign exchange, and interest rate), liquidity, operational (including technology), reputational, insurance, strategic, regulatory, legal, environmental, capital adequacy, and other risks. Examples of such risk factors include the impact of recent U.S. legislative developments, as discussed under "Significant Events in 2012" in the "Financial Results Overview" section of the 2012 MD&A changes to and new interpretations of capital and liquidity guidelines and reporting instructions; changes to the Bank's credit ratings; changes in interest rates; increased funding costs for credit due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events and claims resulting from such events; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank or its affiliates relating to the care and control of information; disruptions in or attacks (including cyber attacks) on the Bank's information technology, internet, network access or other voice or data communications systems or services; and the overall difficult litigation environment, including in the United States. We caution that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect the Bank's results. For more detailed information, please see the "Risk Factors and Management" section of the 2012 MD&A, as may be updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders and news releases (as applicable) related to the transactions discussed under the heading "Significant Events" in the relevant MD&A, which applicable releases may be found on www.td.com. All such factors should be considered carefully, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements, when making decisions with respect to the Bank and we caution readers not to place undue reliance on the Bank's forward-looking statements. Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document are set out in the 2012 MD&A under the headings "Economic Summary and Outlook", and for each business segment, "Business Outlook and Focus for 2013", each as updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders. Any forward-looking statements contained in this document represent the views of management only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting the Bank's shareholders and analysts in understanding the Bank's financial position, objectives and priorities and anticipated financial performance as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on its behalf, except as required under applicable securities legislation. |

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. The Bank also utilizes non-GAAP financial
measures to arrive at "adjusted" results to assess each of its
businesses and to measure the overall Bank performance. To arrive at
adjusted results, the Bank removes "items of note", net of income
taxes, from reported results. The items of note relate to items which
management does not believe are indicative of underlying business
performance. The Bank believes that adjusted results provide the reader
with a better understanding of how management views the Bank's
performance. The items of note are listed in the table on the following
page. As explained, adjusted results are different from reported
results determined in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted results, items of
note, and related terms used in this document are not defined terms
under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used
by other issuers.

6 | Adjusted equity in net income of an investment in associate excludes the following items of note: third quarter 2013 - $14 million amortization of intangibles, as explained in footnote 7; second quarter 2013 - $14 million amortization of intangibles; first quarter 2013 - $13 million amortization of intangibles; third quarter 2012 - $13 million amortization of intangibles; second quarter 2012 - $15 million amortization of intangibles; first quarter 2012 - $15 million amortization of intangibles. |
7 | Amortization of intangibles primarily relates to the TD Banknorth acquisition in 2005 and its privatization in 2007, the acquisitions by TD Banknorth of Hudson United Bancorp in 2006 and Interchange Financial Services in 2007, the Commerce acquisition in 2008, the amortization of intangibles included in equity in net income of TD Ameritrade, the acquisition of the credit card portfolio of MBNA Canada in 2012, the acquisition of Target's U.S. credit card portfolio in 2013, and the Epoch acquisition in 2013. Amortization of software is recorded in amortization of other intangibles; however, amortization of software is not included for purposes of items of note, which only includes amortization of other intangibles acquired as a result of asset acquisitions and business combinations. |
8 | During 2008, as a result of deterioration in markets and severe dislocation in the credit market, the Bank changed its trading strategy with respect to certain trading debt securities. Since the Bank no longer intended to actively trade in these debt securities, the Bank reclassified these debt securities from trading to the AFS category effective August 1, 2008. As part of the Bank's trading strategy, these debt securities are economically hedged, primarily with CDS and interest rate swap contracts. This includes foreign exchange translation exposure related to the debt securities portfolio and the derivatives hedging it. These derivatives are not eligible for reclassification and are recorded on a fair value basis with changes in fair value recorded in the period's earnings. Management believes that this asymmetry in the accounting treatment between derivatives and the reclassified debt securities results in volatility in earnings from period to period that is not indicative of the economics of the underlying business performance in Wholesale Banking. The Bank may from time to time replace securities within the portfolio to best utilize the initial, matched fixed term funding. As a result, the derivatives are accounted for on an accrual basis in Wholesale Banking and the gains and losses related to the derivatives in excess of the accrued amounts are reported in the Corporate segment. Adjusted results of the Bank exclude the gains and losses of the derivatives in excess of the accrued amount. |
9 | As a result of U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking acquisitions, the Bank incurred integration charges and direct transaction costs. Integration charges consist of costs related to information technology, employee retention, external professional consulting charges, marketing (including customer communication and rebranding), integration-related travel costs, employee severance costs, the costs of amending certain executive employment and award agreements, contract termination fees and the write-down of long-lived assets due to impairment. Direct transaction costs are expenses directly incurred in effecting a business combination and consist primarily of finders' fees, advisory fees, and legal fees. The first quarter of 2012 was the last quarter U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking included any further integration charges or direct transaction costs as an item of note. |
10 | The Bank purchases CDS to hedge the credit risk in Wholesale Banking's corporate lending portfolio. These CDS do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period's earnings. The related loans are accounted for at amortized cost. Management believes that this asymmetry in the accounting treatment between CDS and loans would result in periodic profit and loss volatility which is not indicative of the economics of the corporate loan portfolio or the underlying business performance in Wholesale Banking. As a result, the CDS are accounted for on an accrual basis in Wholesale Banking and the gains and losses on the CDS, in excess of the accrued cost, are reported in the Corporate segment. Adjusted earnings exclude the gains and losses on the CDS in excess of the accrued cost. When a credit event occurs in the corporate loan book that has an associated CDS hedge, the PCL related to the portion that was hedged via the CDS is netted against this item of note. |
11 | As a result of the Chrysler Financial acquisition in Canada and the U.S., the Bank incurred integration charges and direct transaction costs. As well, the Bank experienced volatility in earnings as a result of changes in fair value of contingent consideration. Integration charges consist of costs related to information technology, employee retention, external professional consulting charges, marketing (including customer communication and rebranding), integration-related travel costs, employee severance costs, the costs of amending certain executive employment and award agreements, contract termination fees, and the write-down of long-lived assets due to impairment. Direct transaction costs are expenses directly incurred in effecting a business combination and consist primarily of finders' fees, advisory fees, and legal fees. Contingent consideration is defined as part of the purchase agreement, whereby the Bank is required to pay additional cash consideration in the event that amounts realized on certain assets exceed a pre-established threshold. Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. Changes in fair value subsequent to acquisition are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Adjusted earnings exclude the gains and losses on contingent consideration in excess of the acquisition date fair value. While integration charges and direct transaction costs related to this acquisition were incurred for both Canada and the U.S., the majority of these charges relate to integration initiatives undertaken for U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking. The fourth quarter of 2012 was the last quarter U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking included any further Chrysler Financial-related integration charges or direct transaction costs as an item of note. |
12 | As a result of the acquisition of the credit card portfolio of MBNA Canada, as well as certain other assets and liabilities, the Bank incurred integration charges and direct transaction costs. Integration charges consist of costs related to information technology, employee retention, external professional consulting charges, marketing (including customer communication, rebranding and certain charges against revenue related to promotional-rate card origination activities), integration-related travel costs, employee severance costs, the cost of amending certain executive employment and award agreements, contract termination fees, and the write-down of long-lived assets due to impairment. Direct transaction costs are expenses directly incurred in effecting the business combination and consist primarily of finders' fees, advisory fees and legal fees. Integration charges and direct transaction costs related to this acquisition are incurred by Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking. The integration charges to date are higher than what was anticipated when the transaction was announced. The elevated spending is primarily due to additional costs incurred (other than the amounts capitalized) to build out technology platforms for the business. |
13 | The Bank took prudent steps to determine in accordance with applicable accounting standards that litigation provisions were required in the following relevant periods. In the first quarter of 2012, the Bank determined that the litigation provision of $285 million ($171 million after tax) was required as a result of certain adverse judgments in the U.S. during the quarter as well as settlements reached following the quarter. Based on the continued evaluation of this portfolio of cases, the Bank determined in accordance with applicable accounting standards that an increase to this litigation reserve of $128 million ($77 million after tax) was required in the third quarter of 2012. In the first quarter of 2013, the Bank further reassessed its litigation provisions and determined that an additional increase in the litigation provision of $97 million ($70 million after tax) was required as a result of recent developments and settlements reached in the U.S., having considered these factors as well as other related or analogous litigation cases. |
14 | Excluding the impact related to the credit card portfolio of MBNA Canada and other consumer loan portfolios (which is recorded in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking), "Reduction of allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses", formerly known as "General allowance increase (release) in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking and Wholesale Banking" was $41 million ($30 million after tax) in the third quarter 2012, $80 million ($59 million after tax) in the second quarter 2012 and $41 million ($31 million after tax) in the first quarter 2012, all of which was attributable to the Wholesale Banking and non-MBNA related Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking loan portfolios. Beginning in 2013, the change in the "allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses" in the normal course of business will be included in Corporate segment net income and will no longer be recorded as an item of note. |
15 | This represents the impact of changes in the income tax statutory rate on net deferred income tax balances. |
16 | On July 30, 2013, the Bank announced it estimated a provision of no more than $125 million before taxes of residential loan losses as a result of the southern Alberta flooding. Upon further review, the Bank has been able to further refine initial assumptions and as a result, the Bank has estimated a provision of $65 million ($48 million after tax). |

Economic Profit and Return on Common Equity
The Bank's methodology for allocating capital to its business segments
is aligned with the common equity capital requirements under Basel III
at a 7% Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio. The return measures for
business segments reflect a return on common equity methodology.
The Bank utilizes economic profit as a tool to measure shareholder value creation. Economic profit is adjusted net income available to common shareholders less a charge for average common equity. The rate used in the charge for average common equity is the equity cost of capital calculated using the capital asset pricing model. The charge represents an assumed minimum return required by common shareholders on the Bank's common equity. The Bank's goal is to achieve positive and growing economic profit.
Adjusted return on common equity (ROE) is adjusted net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity. ROE is a percentage rate and is a variation of economic profit which is a dollar measure. When ROE exceeds the equity cost of capital, economic profit is positive. The Bank's goal is to maximize economic profit by achieving ROE that exceeds the equity cost of capital.
Economic profit and adjusted ROE are non-GAAP financial measures as these are not defined terms under IFRS. Readers are cautioned that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than IFRS do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN 2013
Acquisition of Target Corporation's U.S. Credit Card Portfolio
On March 13, 2013, the Bank acquired substantially all of Target
Corporation's existing U.S. Visa and private label credit card
portfolios, with a gross outstanding balance of $5.8 billion. The Bank
also entered into a seven-year program agreement under which it will
become the exclusive issuer of Target-branded Visa and private label
consumer credit cards to Target Corporation's U.S. customers.
Under the terms of the program agreement, the Bank and Target Corporation will share in the profits generated by the portfolios. Target Corporation will be responsible for all elements of operations and customer service, and will bear most of the operating costs to service the assets. The Bank will control risk management policies and regulatory compliance and will bear all costs relating to funding the receivables for existing Target Visa accounts and all existing and newly issued Target private label accounts in the U.S. The Bank accounted for the purchase as an asset acquisition. The results of the acquisition from the acquisition date to July 31, 2013 have been recorded in the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segment.
At the date of acquisition the Bank recorded the credit card receivables acquired at their fair value of $5.7 billion and intangible assets totalling $98 million. The gross amount of revenue and credit losses have been recorded on the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income since that date. Target Corporation shares in a fixed percentage of the revenue and credit losses incurred. Target Corporation's net share of revenue and credit losses is recorded in Non-interest expenses on the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income and related receivables from, or payables to Target Corporation are recorded in Other assets or Other liabilities, respectively, on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Acquisition of Epoch
On March 27, 2013, the Bank acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of
Epoch Holding Corporation including its wholly-owned subsidiary Epoch
Investment Partners, Inc. (Epoch) for cash consideration of $674
million. Epoch Holding Corporation shareholders received US$28 in cash
per share.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method. The results of the acquisition from the acquisition date to July 31, 2013, have been consolidated with the Bank's results and are reported in the Wealth and Insurance segment. As at March 27, 2013, the acquisition contributed $36 million of tangible assets, and $12 million of liabilities. The excess of consideration over the fair value of the acquired net assets of $650 million has been allocated to customer relationship intangibles of $149 million and goodwill of $501 million.
Sale of TD Waterhouse Institutional Services
On August 1, 2013, subsidiaries of the Bank and National Bank of Canada
entered into an agreement to sell the Bank's institutional services
business, known as TD Waterhouse Institutional Services. The
transaction price is $250 million, subject to a price adjustment
mechanism based on asset retention. The transaction is subject to the
receipt of regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions,
and is expected to close in calendar 2013.
Agreement with Aimia Inc. (Aimia)
On August 12, 2013, the Bank and Aimia announced that the Bank will
become the primary credit card issuer for Aeroplan, a loyalty program
owned by Aimia, starting on January 1, 2014. On August 26, 2013, the
Bank announced that it would continue to discuss with Aimia and
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) to negotiate a broad
framework that could see CIBC retain cards held by their franchise
banking customers, with TD to acquire the remainder. There can be no
assurance that an agreement will be reached.
HOW OUR BUSINESSES PERFORMED
For management reporting purposes, the Bank's operations and activities are organized around four key business segments operating in a number of locations in key financial centres around the globe: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, Wealth and Insurance, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking, and Wholesale Banking. The Bank's other activities are grouped into the Corporate segment. Effective December 1, 2011, results of the acquisition of the credit card portfolio of MBNA Canada (MBNA) are reported primarily in the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking and Wealth and Insurance segments. Integration charges and direct transaction costs relating to the acquisition of MBNA are reported in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking. The results of TD Auto Finance Canada are reported in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking. The results of TD Auto Finance U.S. are reported in U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking. Integration charges, direct transaction costs, and changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to the Chrysler Financial acquisition were reported in the Corporate segment.
Effective March 13, 2013, results of the acquisition of Target's U.S. credit card portfolio (Target) are reported in U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking. Effective March 27, 2013, the results of Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. (Epoch) are reported in Wealth and Insurance.
Results of each business segment reflect revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities generated by the businesses in that segment. The Bank measures and evaluates the performance of each segment based on adjusted results where applicable, and for those segments the Bank notes that the measure is adjusted. Net income for the operating business segments is presented before any items of note not attributed to the operating segments. For further details, see the "How the Bank Reports" section, the "Business Focus" section in the MD&A of the Bank's 2012 Annual Report, and Note 28 to the Bank's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2012. For information concerning the Bank's measures of economic profit and adjusted return on common equity, which are non-GAAP financial measures, see the "How We Performed" section of this document.
Net interest income within Wholesale Banking is calculated on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB), which means that the value of non-taxable or tax-exempt income, including dividends, is adjusted to its equivalent before-tax value. Using TEB allows the Bank to measure income from all securities and loans consistently and makes for a more meaningful comparison of net interest income with similar institutions. The TEB increase to net interest income and provision for income taxes reflected in Wholesale Banking results is reversed in the Corporate segment. The TEB adjustment for the quarter was $80 million, compared with $71 million in the third quarter last year, and $77 million in the prior quarter.

Quarterly comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q3 2012
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net income for the quarter on a
reported basis was a record $973 million, an increase of $109 million,
or 13%, compared with the third quarter last year. Adjusted net income
for the quarter was a record $997 million, an increase of $108 million,
or 12%, compared with the third quarter last year. The increase in
adjusted earnings was primarily driven by loan and deposit volume
growth, stable margins, favourable credit performance, and effective
cost management, partially offset by an elevated MBNA contribution in
the third quarter last year from better credit performance on acquired
loans. The reported annualized return on common equity for the quarter
was 49.4%, while the adjusted annualized return on common equity was
50.6%, compared with 44.1% and 45.4% respectively, in the third quarter
last year.
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking revenue is derived from personal and business banking, auto lending and credit cards. Revenue for the quarter was a record $2,821 million, an increase of $91 million, or 3%, compared with the third quarter last year. Net interest income growth was driven by portfolio volume growth, partially offset by an elevated MBNA contribution in the third quarter last year from better credit performance on acquired loans. The personal banking business generated solid lending volume growth of $8 billion, or 3%, reflecting a slowing housing market and continued consumer deleveraging. Compared with the third quarter last year, average real estate secured lending volume increased $8.2 billion, or 4%. Auto lending average volume increased $0.2 billion, or 2%, while all other personal lending average volumes decreased $0.4 billion, or 1%, largely driven by managed declines in the MBNA portfolio. Business loans and acceptances average volumes increased $5.4 billion, or 13%. Average personal deposit volumes increased $4 billion, or 3%, while average business deposit volumes increased $5.4 billion, or 8%. Margin on average earning assets was 2.83%, a 3 basis point (bps) decrease primarily due to the impact on deposit margins from the low rate environment and the MBNA credit mark release in the third quarter last year. Non-interest income increased $20 million, or 3%, primarily due to volume-related fee growth and retail sales initiatives.
PCL for the quarter was $216 million, a decrease of $72 million, or 25%, compared with the third quarter last year. Personal banking PCL was $211 million, a decrease of $61 million, or 22%, due primarily to better credit performance and low bankruptcies principally in credit cards. Business banking PCL was $5 million, a decrease of $11 million, compared with the third quarter last year primarily due to higher recoveries. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.28%, a decrease of 11 bps, compared with the third quarter last year. Net impaired loans were $880 million, an increase of $17 million, or 2%, compared with the third quarter last year. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.29%, in line with the third quarter last year.
Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter were $1,281 million, an increase of $22 million, or 2%, compared with the third quarter last year. Adjusted non-interest expenses for the quarter were $1,248 million, an increase of $24 million, or 2%, compared with the third quarter last year driven by volume growth, merit increases, and investment in initiatives to grow the business. These increases were partially offset by productivity gains.
The average full-time equivalent (FTE) staffing levels decreased by 2,925, or 9%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily due to a transfer of FTEs to the Corporate segment. Operating FTE declined by 1% due to volume-related reductions and productivity initiatives, partially offset by increases in front line staff. The reported efficiency ratio for the quarter improved to 45.4%, compared with 46.1% in the third quarter last year, while the adjusted efficiency ratio improved to 44.2%, compared with 44.8% in the third quarter last year.
Quarterly comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q2 2013
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net income for the quarter on a
reported basis increased $126 million, or 15%, compared with the prior
quarter. Adjusted net income for the quarter increased $120 million, or
14%, compared with the prior quarter. The increase in earnings was
primarily due to three extra calendar days, lower provision for credit
losses, higher volumes and margins. The reported annualized return on
common equity for the quarter was 49.4%, while the adjusted annualized
return on common equity was 50.6%, compared with 44.6% and 46.3%
respectively, in the prior quarter.
Revenue for the quarter increased $156 million, or 6%, compared with the prior quarter, due primarily to three extra calendar days and volume growth. Compared with the prior quarter, average real estate secured lending volume increased $2.7 billion, or 1%. All other personal lending average volumes increased $0.3 billion, or 1%. Business loans and acceptances average volumes increased $1.3 billion, or 3%. Average personal deposit volumes increased $0.4 billion, while average business deposit volumes increased $2.9 billion, or 4%. Margin on average earning assets increased 3 bps primarily due to seasonal factors. Non-interest income increased $40 million, or 6%, primarily due to volume growth, three extra calendar days and retail sales initiatives.
PCL for the quarter decreased $29 million, or 12%, compared with the prior quarter. Personal banking PCL for the quarter decreased $1 million. Business banking PCL decreased $28 million due to a provision against a single client in the prior quarter and higher recoveries in the current quarter. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.28%, a decrease of 5 bps, compared with the prior quarter. Net impaired loans decreased $29 million, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.29%, compared with 0.30% as at April 30, 2013.
Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter increased $14 million, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter. Adjusted non-interest expenses for the quarter increased $22 million, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter largely due to three extra calendar days.
The average FTE staffing levels increased by 297, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter primarily due to seasonal staffing requirements. The reported efficiency ratio for the quarter improved to 45.4%, compared with 47.5% in the prior quarter, while the adjusted efficiency ratio improved to 44.2%, compared with 46.0% in the prior quarter.
Year-to-date comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q3 2012
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking reported net income for the
nine months ended July 31, 2013 was $2,740 million, an increase of $242
million, or 10%, compared with the same period last year. Adjusted net
income was $2,818 million, an increase of $241 million, or 9%, compared
with the same period last year. The increase in adjusted earnings was
primarily driven by solid loan and deposit volume growth, favourable
credit performance, and effective cost management. These increases were
partially offset by an elevated MBNA contribution last year from better
credit performance on acquired loans and one less calendar day. The
reported annualized return on common equity was 47.2%, while the
adjusted annualized return on common equity was 48.6%, compared with
43.2% and 44.6% respectively, in the same period last year.
Reported revenue was $8,209 million, an increase of $306 million, or 4%, compared with the same period last year. Adjusted revenue was $8,209 million, an increase of $270 million, or 3%, compared with the same period last year. Net interest income growth was driven by portfolio volume growth and an additional month of MBNA, partially offset by an elevated MBNA contribution last year from better credit performance on acquired loans and the impact of one less calendar day. The personal lending business generated solid lending volume growth of $9.3 billion, or 4%, reflecting a slowing housing market and continued consumer deleveraging. Compared with the same period last year, average real estate secured lending volume increased $9.3 billion, or 4%. Auto lending average volume increased $0.2 billion, or 1%, while all other personal lending average volumes remained relatively stable. Business loans and acceptances average volume increased $5.3 billion, or 13%. Average personal deposit volumes increased $7.2 billion, or 5%, while average business deposit volumes increased $5.2 billion, or 8%. Margin on average earning assets was 2.81%, a 1 bp decrease on a reported basis or a 3 bps decrease on an adjusted basis, primarily due to the impact on deposit margins from the low rate environment and the MBNA credit mark releases last year. Non-interest income increased $64 million, or 3%, primarily due to volume-related fee growth and the inclusion of an additional month of MBNA.
PCL was $705 million, a decrease of $140 million, or 17%, compared with the same period last year. Personal banking PCL was $659 million, a decrease of $139 million, or 17%, due primarily to better credit performance, enhanced collection strategies, and low bankruptcies. Business banking PCL was $46 million, a decrease of $1 million, compared with the same period last year. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.31%, a decrease of 8 bps, compared with the same period last year.
Reported non-interest expenses were $3,774 million, an increase of $129 million, or 4%, compared with the same period last year. Adjusted non-interest expenses were $3,668 million, an increase of $94 million, or 3%, compared with the same period last year. Excluding MBNA, expenses increased $49 million, or 1%, as volume growth, merit increases, and investment in initiatives to grow the business were largely offset by productivity gains.
The average FTE staffing levels decreased by 2,732, or 9%, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to a transfer of FTEs to the Corporate segment. Operating FTE declined by 1% due to volume-related reductions and productivity gains. The reported efficiency ratio was 46.0%, or relatively flat, compared with 46.1% in the same period last year, while the adjusted efficiency ratio was 44.7%, or relatively flat, compared with 45.0% in the same period last year.
Business Outlook
During the third quarter, TD Canada Trust earned its 8th consecutive
J.D. Power and Associates award for highest customer satisfaction
levels among the Big Five Banks. We will continue to maintain our focus
on delivering legendary customer service and convenience. Canadian
Personal and Commercial Banking has posted very good year-to-date
results driven by solid volume growth, good credit performance and
effective expense management. We expect these drivers to largely hold
for the fourth quarter. In the next year, we expect modest downward
pressure on our margins, with small fluctuations in our quarterly
margins, depending on product mix, seasonal factors and interest rate
movement. Overall, we expect to deliver very good adjusted earnings
growth for 2013.

As announced on July 30, 2013, the Bank took charges of $565 million ($418 million after tax) in the quarter ended July 31, 2013 to strengthen reserves for general insurance automobile claims and for claims resulting from severe weather-related events in southern Alberta and the Greater Toronto Area (referred to in this MD&A as the "additional Insurance Charges").
Quarterly comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q3 2012
Wealth and Insurance net income for the quarter was $7 million, a
decrease of $353 million compared with the third quarter last year.
Higher earnings from Wealth and TD Ameritrade were largely offset by
the loss in the Insurance business. Wealth and Insurance net loss
excluding TD Ameritrade was $62 million, a decrease of $366 million
compared with the third quarter last year. The Bank's reported
investment in TD Ameritrade generated net income for the quarter of $69
million, an increase of $13 million, or 23%, compared with the third
quarter last year, mainly driven by higher TD Ameritrade earnings. For
its third quarter ended June 30, 2013, TD Ameritrade reported net
income was US$184 million, an increase of US$30 million, or 19%,
compared with the third quarter last year, primarily driven by
increased transaction-based revenue from higher trading volumes and
increased fee-based revenue from higher asset balances. The annualized
return on common equity for the quarter for Wealth and Insurance was
0.4%, compared with 20.9% in the third quarter last year.
Wealth and Insurance revenue is derived from direct investing, advice-based businesses, asset management services, life and health insurance, and property and casualty insurance. Revenue for the quarter was $590 million, a decrease of $419 million, or 42%, compared to the third quarter last year. In the Wealth business, revenue increased mainly from higher fee-based revenue from asset growth, the addition of Epoch, and improved trading volumes. In the Insurance business, revenue decreased due to additional Insurance Charges and the sale of the U.S. Insurance business.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $711 million, an increase of $79 million, or 13%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily due to the addition of Epoch, higher variable expenses in the Wealth business driven by increased revenue, and increased costs to support business growth in Wealth and Insurance including employee-related costs, partially offset by decreased expenses resulting from the sale of the U.S. Insurance business.
Assets under administration of $279 billion as at July 31, 2013, increased $30 billion, or 12%, compared with July 31, 2012. Assets under management of $246 billion as at July 31, 2013 increased $42 billion, or 21%, compared with July 31, 2012. The increase in assets under administration was mainly driven by net new client assets and an increase in the market value of assets. The increase in assets under management was mainly driven by the addition of $29 billion of Epoch assets under management, net new client assets, and an increase in the market value of assets.
Gross originated insurance premiums were $1,049 million, an increase of $60 million, or 6%, compared with the third quarter last year primarily due to organic business growth.
The average FTE staffing levels decreased by 320, or 3%, compared to the third quarter last year, primarily due to the sale of the U.S. Insurance business, partially offset by an increase in staffing from business growth. The efficiency ratio for the current quarter was 120.5% due to additional Insurance Charges, compared with 62.6% in the third quarter last year.
Quarterly comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q2 2013
Wealth and Insurance net income for the quarter decreased $357 million
compared with the prior quarter. Higher earnings from Wealth and TD
Ameritrade were largely offset by the loss in the Insurance business.
Wealth and Insurance net income excluding TD Ameritrade decreased $373
million, compared with the prior quarter. The Bank's reported
investment in TD Ameritrade reflected an increase in net income of $16
million, or 30%, compared with the prior quarter, mainly driven by
higher TD Ameritrade earnings. For its third quarter ended June 30,
2013, TD Ameritrade reported net income increased US$40 million, or
28%, compared with the prior quarter mainly driven by increased
transaction-based revenue from higher trading volumes. The annualized
return on common equity for the quarter was 0.4%, compared with 25.2%
in the prior quarter.
Revenue for the quarter decreased $501 million, or 46%, compared with the prior quarter. In the Wealth business, revenue increased mainly due to the addition of a full quarter of Epoch and higher fee-based revenue from asset growth. In the Insurance business, revenue decreased due to additional Insurance Charges.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter remained relatively flat compared to the prior quarter.
Assets under administration of $279 billion as at July 31, 2013 increased by $4 billion, or 1%, compared with April 30, 2013. Assets under management of $246 billion as at July 31, 2013 decreased by $1 billion, compared with April 30, 2013. Assets were relatively flat compared to the prior quarter as increases in net new client assets were offset by decreases in the market value of assets.
Gross originated insurance premiums increased $126 million, or 14%, compared with the prior quarter due largely to seasonality.
The average FTE staffing levels for the current quarter decreased by 90 compared with the prior quarter. The efficiency ratio for the current quarter was 120.5% due to additional Insurance Charges, compared with 65.1% in the prior quarter.
Year-to-date comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q3 2012
Wealth and Insurance net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2013
was $748 million, a decrease of $326 million, or 30%, compared with the
same period last year, reflecting lower earnings in the Insurance
business, partially offset by higher earnings in Wealth and TD
Ameritrade. Wealth and Insurance net income excluding TD Ameritrade was
$579 million, a decrease of $337 million, or 37%, compared with the
same period last year. The Bank's reported investment in TD Ameritrade
generated net income of $169 million, an increase of $11 million, or
7%, compared with the same period last year, mainly driven by higher TD
Ameritrade earnings. For its nine months ended June 30, 2013, TD
Ameritrade reported net income was US$474 million, an increase of US$32
million, or 7%, compared with the same period last year, primarily
driven by increased fee-based revenue from higher asset balances and
increased transaction-based revenue from higher trading volumes and
lower expenses, partially offset by tax-related items. Wealth and
Insurance's annualized return on common equity was 16.6% compared with
21.5% in the same period last year.
Revenue was $2,758 million, a decrease of $298 million, or 10%, compared to the same period last year. In the Wealth business, revenue increased mainly from higher fee-based revenue from asset growth and the addition of Epoch. In the Insurance business, revenue decreased due to additional Insurance Charges, and the sale of the U.S. Insurance business, partially offset by premium volume growth.
Non-interest expenses were $2,091 million, an increase of $167 million, or 9%, compared with the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher variable expenses in the Wealth business driven by increased revenue, the addition of Epoch including integration costs, and increased costs to support business growth in Wealth and Insurance including employee related costs, partially offset by decreased expenses resulting from the sale of the U.S. Insurance business.
Gross originated insurance premiums were $2,779 million, an increase of $150 million, or 6%, compared with the same period last year primarily due to organic business growth.
The average FTE staffing levels decreased by 297, or 2%, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to the sale of the U.S. Insurance business. The efficiency ratio was 75.8% due to additional Insurance Charges, compared with 63.0% in the same period last year.
Business Outlook
Our Wealth business continues to experience good momentum from net new
asset growth. We are focused on enhancing client experience and
managing expenses prudently, and the business remains on track to
deliver strong results for the year as long as the capital markets
remain healthy.
As we announced on July 30, 2013, we expect a modest decline in earnings in our Insurance business in the medium term, from the normalized 2012 level of $600 million. While we continue to monitor developments in the insurance industry, we believe, despite these challenges, the Insurance business has good long-term growth prospects.

Quarterly comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q3 2012
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking reported and adjusted net income,
in Canadian dollar terms, for the quarter was $445 million, an increase
of $161 million, or 57%, on a reported basis, and an increase of $84
million, or 23%, on an adjusted basis, compared with the third quarter
last year. In U.S. dollar terms, reported and adjusted net income for
the quarter was US$432 million, an increase of US$153 million, or 55%,
on a reported basis, and an increase of US$77 million, or 22%, on an
adjusted basis compared with the third quarter last year. Results
include the Bank's share of Target credit card earnings subsequent to
the acquisition of approximately US$5.6 billion of credit card
receivables in the second quarter of this year. Revenue and expenses
related to Target are reported on a gross basis on the income statement
and non-interest expenses include the Bank's expenses related to the
business, and amounts due to Target under the credit card program
agreement. The increase in earnings was primarily due to strong loan
growth, higher gains on sales of securities, including the sale of a
portion of the non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO)
portfolio, and a reduction in litigation expenses, partially offset by
lower margins. The reported and adjusted annualized return on common
equity for the quarter was 9.1%, compared with 6.4% on a reported basis
and 8.1% on an adjusted basis in the third quarter last year.
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking revenue is derived from personal banking, business banking, investments, auto lending, and credit cards. In U.S. dollar terms, revenue for the quarter was US$1,909 million, an increase of US$409 million, or 27%, compared with the third quarter last year primarily due to the inclusion of revenue from the Target asset acquisition, strong organic loan and deposit growth and higher gains on sales of securities, partially offset by lower margins and acquired loan accretion. Gains on sales of securities and debt securities classified as loans were US$118 million for the quarter, an increase of US$95 million compared to the third quarter last year. Excluding Target, average loans increased US$11 billion, or 12%, compared with the third quarter last year, with an 18% increase in personal loans and a 7% increase in business loans. Average deposits increased US$18 billion, or 11%, compared with the third quarter last year driven by 9% growth in personal deposit volume, 5% growth in business deposit volume, and 18% growth in TD Ameritrade deposit volume. Margin on average earning assets was 3.80%, a 21 bps increase compared with the third quarter last year due to the impact of a full quarter of Target, partially offset by core margin compression.
PCL for the quarter was US$217 million, an increase of US$44 million, or 25%, compared with the third quarter last year. Personal banking PCL was US$204 million, an increase of US$100 million, or 96%, compared with the third quarter last year primarily due to Target-related PCL and increased provisions in auto loans. Business banking PCL was US$24 million, a decrease of US$42 million, or 64%, compared with the third quarter last year primarily due to improved credit quality. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume for loans excluding debt securities classified as loans was 0.88%, an increase of 10 bps, compared with the third quarter last year reflecting the addition of Target-related PCL. Net impaired loans, excluding acquired credit-impaired loans and debt securities classified as loans, as a percentage of total loans were 1.3%, flat compared with July 31, 2012. Net impaired debt securities classified as loans were US$1,033 million, a decrease of US$264 million, or 20%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily resulting from sales and the continued runoff of these securities.
Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter were US$1,170 million, an increase of US$129 million, or 12%, compared with the third quarter last year primarily due to increased expenses related to Target and investments in growth initiatives, offset by lower litigation expenses and productivity gains. Adjusted non-interest expenses for the quarter were US$1,170 million, an increase of US$255 million, or 28%, compared with the third quarter last year primarily due to increased expenses related to Target and investments in growth initiatives, partially offset by productivity gains.
The average FTE staffing levels decreased by 161, as planned declines in the store network and TD Auto Finance U.S. were partially offset by increases related to investments in growth initiatives. The reported efficiency ratio for the quarter improved to 61.3%, compared with 69.3% in the third quarter last year, while the adjusted efficiency ratio was 61.3%, or relatively flat, compared with 60.9% in the third quarter last year.
Quarterly comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q2 2013
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking reported and adjusted net income,
in Canadian dollar terms, for the quarter increased $47 million, or
12%, compared with the prior quarter. In U.S. dollar terms, reported
and adjusted net income for the quarter increased US$40 million, or
10%, compared with the prior quarter. The annualized return on common
equity for the quarter was 9.1%, compared with 8.6% in the prior
quarter.
In U.S. dollar terms, revenue for the quarter increased US$202 million, or 12%, compared with the prior quarter primarily due to the full quarter impact of the Target acquisition, strong organic loan and deposit growth, and higher gains on sales of securities, including the sale of a portion of the non-agency CMO portfolio, partially offset by lower margins. Gains on sales of securities and debt securities classified as loans increased US$38 million compared to the prior quarter. Excluding Target, average loans increased US$2 billion, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter, with a 3% increase in personal loans and a 2% increase in business loans. Average deposits increased US$5 billion, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter. Margin on average earning assets increased by 13 bps to 3.80%, compared with the prior quarter due to the impact of a full quarter of Target, partially offset by core margin compression.
Total PCL for the quarter increased US$24 million, or 12%, compared with the prior quarter. Personal banking PCL increased US$58 million, or 40%, from the prior quarter primarily due to the full quarter impact of the Target acquisition and increased provisions in auto loans. Business banking PCL decreased US$20 million, or 45%, primarily due to improved credit quality. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume for loans excluding debt securities classified as loans was 0.88%, an increase of 13 bps, compared with the prior quarter. Net impaired loans, excluding acquired credit-impaired loans and debt securities classified as loans, as a percentage of total loans were 1.3%, compared with 1.2% as at April 30, 2013. Net impaired debt securities classified as loans were US$1,033 million, a decrease of US$219 million, or 17%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily resulting from sales and continued runoff of these securities.
Reported and adjusted non-interest expenses for the quarter increased US$118 million, or 11%, compared with the prior quarter primarily due to increased expenses related to a full quarter of Target expenses and the timing of planned initiatives.
The average FTE staffing levels increased by 143 compared with the prior quarter due primarily to seasonal increases, and investments in growth initiatives, partially offset by planned declines in the store network and TD Auto Finance U.S. The reported and adjusted efficiency ratio for the quarter was 61.3%, or relatively flat, compared with 61.7% in the prior quarter.
Year-to-date comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q3 2012
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking net income, in Canadian dollar
terms, for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was $1,158 million on a
reported basis, an increase of $346 million, or 43%, and $1,228 million
on an adjusted basis, an increase of $159 million, or 15%, compared
with the same period last year. In U.S. dollar terms, reported net
income was US$1,140 million, an increase of US$338 million, or 42%, and
adjusted net income was US$1,211 million, an increase of US$153
million, or 14%. The increase in earnings was driven by loan growth,
higher gains on sales of securities, and a reduction in litigation
expenses, which more than offset the lower margins. The reported and
adjusted annualized return on common equity were 8.3% and 8.8%,
respectively, compared with 6.1% and 8.1%, respectively, in the same
period last year.
In U.S. dollar terms, revenue was US$5,155 million, an increase of US$593 million, or 13%, compared with the same period last year primarily due to strong organic loan and deposit growth, gains on sales of securities, and the inclusion of the Target acquisition, partially offset by lower net interest margins. Gains on sales of securities and debt securities classified as loans were US$280 million year to date, an increase of US$172 million over the same period last year. Excluding Target, average loans increased US$12 billion, or 14%, compared with the same period last year, with a 21% increase in personal loans and a 10% increase in business loans. Average deposits increased US$16 billion, or 10%, compared with the same period last year driven by 9% growth in personal deposit volume, 5% growth in business deposit volume and 14% growth in TD Ameritrade deposit volume. Margin on average earning assets decreased by 7 bps to 3.58%, compared with the same period last year primarily due to continued pressure on margins and the impact of security sales, partially offset by the impact of Target.
Total PCL was US$587 million, an increase of US$66 million, or 13%, compared with the same period last year. Personal banking PCL was US$462 million, an increase of US$199 million, or 76%, from the same period last year due primarily to provisions for credit card loans acquired from Target and increased provisions in auto loans. Business banking PCL was US$130 million, a decrease of US$119 million, or 48%, from the same period last year reflecting improved credit quality in commercial loans. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume for loans excluding debt securities classified as loans was 0.76%, a decrease of 6 bps, compared with the same period last year.
Reported non-interest expenses were US$3,223 million, an increase of US$57 million, or 2%, compared with the same period last year. Adjusted non-interest expenses were US$3,125 million, an increase of US$381 million, or 14%, compared with the same period last year due primarily to increased expenses related to the Target asset acquisition, new stores and other planned initiatives.
The average FTE staffing levels decreased by 38 reflecting planned declines in the store network and TD Auto Finance U.S. The reported efficiency ratio improved to 62.5%, compared with 69.4% in the same period last year, while the adjusted efficiency ratio worsened to 60.7%, compared with 60.2% in the same period last year.
Business Outlook
We will continue to build on our strength of industry-leading
convenience banking, providing superior customer service through
efficient, local decision-making and evolving the product offering to
our customers, which should contribute to continued good growth in
loans and deposits. Given the elevated levels of gains on sales of
securities and debt securities classified as loans taken in the current
quarter and reduced unrealized gains in the portfolio as a result of
higher interest rates, next quarter we expect lower securities gains
than the range we previously targeted of $60-$80 million per quarter.
We expect our margins, excluding Target and accretion fluctuation, to
stabilize and improve from current levels as the increase in long term
rates helps improve our asset yields. Improvements in the U.S. housing
market and overall U.S. economy have led to more benign credit
conditions compared to prior years which we believe will continue in
the foreseeable future. There continue to be a number of regulatory and
legislative developments (including the Durbin Amendment) that we are
monitoring and which may have implications for us. Finally, excluding
any costs added by acquisitions, the rate of organic expense growth in
U.S. dollar terms is expected to be lower than last year due to
productivity improvements.

Quarterly comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q3 2012
Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter was $147 million, a
decrease of $33 million, or 18%, compared with the third quarter last
year. The decrease in earnings was primarily due to lower
trading-related revenue, partially offset by lower non-interest
expenses. The annualized return on common equity for the quarter was
14.3%, compared with 16.7% in the third quarter last year.
Wholesale Banking revenue is derived primarily from capital markets services and corporate lending. The capital markets businesses generate revenue from advisory, underwriting, trading, facilitation, and trade execution services. Revenue for the quarter was $563 million, a decrease of $75 million, or 12%, compared with the third quarter last year. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower fixed income and credit trading and lower equity trading as the third quarter last year included gains recognized on trading positions that were previously considered impaired. This decrease was partially offset by higher loan fees compared with the third quarter last year.
PCL for the quarter was $23 million, an increase of $2 million, compared with the third quarter last year. PCL in the current quarter consisted of the accrual cost of credit protection and a specific credit provision in the corporate lending and investment portfolio.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $351 million, a decrease of $55 million, or 14%, compared with the third quarter last year due to lower variable compensation commensurate with revenue mix and lower legal provisions.
Risk-weighted assets were $46 billion as at July 31, 2013, a decrease of $2 billion, or 4% compared with July 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily related to the reduction in exposures, partially offset by the implementation of the Basel III regulatory framework.
Quarterly comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q2 2013
Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter decreased by $73 million,
or 33%, compared with the prior quarter. The decrease was largely due
to lower trading-related revenue, decreased gains in the investment
portfolio and higher PCL, partially offset by lower non-interest
expenses. The annualized return on common equity for the quarter was
14.3%, compared with 20.9% in the prior quarter.
Revenue for the quarter decreased $80 million, or 12%, primarily due to lower trading revenue in fixed income, currency and credit and lower gains in the investment portfolio. Fixed Income, currency and credit trading were lower due to reduced client flows. This was partially offset by higher loan fees and credit originations.
PCL for the quarter was $23 million, an increase of $20 million, compared with the prior quarter. PCL in the current quarter consisted of the accrual cost of credit protection and specific credit provision in the corporate lending and investment portfolio. PCL in the prior quarter primarily reflected the accrual cost of credit protection.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter decreased by $24 million, or 6%, compared with the prior quarter, due to lower variable compensation commensurate with revenue.
Risk-weighted assets as at July 31, 2013 decreased $3 billion, or 6%, compared with April 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily related to the reduction in exposures.
Year-to-date comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q3 2012
Wholesale Banking net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was
$526 million, a decrease of $45 million, or 8%, compared with the same
period last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenue and a
higher effective tax rate, partially offset by lower non-interest
expenses and PCL. The annualized return on common equity was 16.7%,
compared to 18.3% in the same period last year.
Revenue was $1,805 million, a decrease of $124 million, or 6%, compared with the same period last year. The decrease was largely attributable to lower fixed income, and credit trading due to reduced capital markets activity. Equity trading was lower compared to the prior year, which included gains recognized on trading positions that were previously considered impaired. Investment Banking revenue was lower primarily due to reduced mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and underwriting fees, partially offset by higher credit origination.
PCL was $21 million, a decrease of $18 million, or 46%, compared with the same period last year primarily due to recoveries in the corporate lending portfolio in the current year.
Non-interest expenses were $1,119 million, a decrease of $77 million, or 6%, compared with the same period last year largely due to reduced variable compensation commensurate with reduced revenue and lower operating expenses.
Business Outlook
We are encouraged by the gradual improvement in capital markets and the
economy, but a combination of fiscal challenges in Europe and the U.S.,
slower commodity markets and the impact of regulatory reform will
affect trading conditions in the medium term. The recent Federal
Reserve announcement in regards to the central bank's bond buying
program has created volatility in the markets. The instability in the
macro-economic environment impacts overall corporate and investor
activities; however, we expect that our strong franchise businesses
will continue to deliver solid results. We continue to stay focused on
serving our clients, being a valued counterparty, growing our
franchise, managing our risks and reducing expenses for the remainder
of 2013.

Quarterly comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q3 2012
Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $45 million,
compared with a reported net income of $15 million in the third quarter
last year. Adjusted net loss was $8 million, compared with an adjusted
net income of $30 million in the third quarter last year. The loss was
due to higher net corporate expenses driven by increased pension and
strategic initiative costs, partially offset by favourable Other items.
The increased income from Other items was largely due to the reduction
of allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses relating to
the Canadian loan portfolio.
Quarterly comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q2 2013
Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $45 million,
compared with a reported net loss of $106 million in the prior quarter.
Adjusted net loss was $8 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of
$26 million in the prior quarter. The lower loss was due to favourable
Other items including higher gains in treasury and other hedging
activities, partially offset by unfavourable tax items.
Year-to-date comparison - Q3 2013 vs. Q3 2012
Corporate segment's reported net loss for the nine months ended July 31,
2013 was $132 million, compared with a reported net loss of $81 million
in the same period last year. Adjusted net income for the nine months
ended July 31, 2013 was $17 million, compared to $27 million in the
same period last year. The decline was largely due to higher net
corporate expenses, driven by increased pension and strategic
initiative costs which was largely offset by the reduction of allowance
for incurred but not identified credit losses relating to the Canadian
loan portfolio and positive tax results.
Business Outlook
In line with historical seasonality, we expect Corporate segment
expenses to be somewhat elevated in the fourth quarter of this year as
compared to the current quarter.
