Note on "adjusted" results and non-GAAP financial measures
TD prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the current generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS as "reported" results. TD also utilizes non-GAAP financial measures to arrive at "adjusted" results to assess each of its businesses and to measure TD's overall performance. To arrive at adjusted results, TD 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. TD believes that adjusted results provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Bank's performance. Adjusted results, adjusted earnings, items of note and related terms are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.
