TORONTO, Aug. 31, 2017 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group ("TD" or the "Bank") today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended July 31, 2017. Third quarter reported earnings were $2.8 billion, up 17% compared with the same quarter last year.

"This was a great quarter for TD reflecting impressive earnings and revenue growth, better credit performance across all our businesses, and lower insurance claims," said Bharat Masrani, Group President and Chief Executive Officer. The Bank also announced its intention to amend its normal course issuer bid to repurchase for cancellation up to an additional 20 million of its common shares, subject to regulatory approval.

Canadian Retail
Canadian Retail net income was $1,725 million, an increase of 14% from the third quarter last year, reflecting good revenue growth and lower insurance claims. The Canadian Retail businesses continued to harness the power of One TD, delivering increased volumes, including record real estate lending originations, and growth in wealth assets.

U.S. Retail
U.S. Retail net income was $901 million (US$678 million) this quarter compared with $788 million (US$609 million) for the third quarter last year, an increase of 14% (11% in U.S. dollars).

The U.S. Retail Bank, which excludes the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade, generated net income of $783 million (US$590 million), an increase of 18% (15% in U.S. dollars) compared with the third quarter last year. On a year-to-date basis, the U.S. Retail Bank has delivered 10% revenue growth (US$504 million), compared with the same period last year, highlighting our ability to provide legendary experiences and attract new customers. Earnings growth reflected strong operating leverage, a more favourable interest rate environment, and continued good credit performance.

TD Ameritrade contributed $118 million (US$88 million) in earnings to the segment, a decrease of $7 million, or 6% (a decrease of $9 million, or 9% in U.S. dollars) compared with the third quarter last year.

Wholesale Banking
Wholesale Banking net income was $293 million reflecting revenue growth from corporate lending and trading. Continued investment into growing the U.S. dollar businesses, including in client-facing employees and TD Prime Services, our new prime brokerage business, contributed to increased expenses this quarter.

Capital
TD's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio on a Basel III fully phased-in basis was 11.0%, compared to 10.8% last quarter.

Conclusion
"Our unwavering focus is on helping our customers feel confident about their financial future and ready for everything that life brings their way," said Masrani. "TD's performance this quarter demonstrates the strength of our businesses in Canada and the U.S. The world around us is changing at a rapid pace and we continue to innovate and simplify how we do business."

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time, the Bank (as defined in this document) makes written and/or oral forward-looking statements, including in this document, in other filings with Canadian regulators or the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), 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 ("2016 MD&A") in the Bank's 2016 Annual Report under the heading "Economic Summary and Outlook", for each business segment under headings "Business Outlook and Focus for 2017", and in other statements regarding the Bank's objectives and priorities for 2017 and beyond and strategies to achieve them, the regulatory environment in which the Bank operates, and the Bank's anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "will", "would", "should", "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "goal", "target", "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, individually or in the aggregate, such differences include: credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign exchange, and interest rate), liquidity, operational (including technology and infrastructure), reputational, insurance, strategic, regulatory, legal, environmental, capital adequacy, and other risks. Examples of such risk factors include the general business and economic conditions in the regions in which the Bank operates; the ability of the Bank to execute on key priorities, including the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions, business retention plans, and strategic plans and to attract, develop and retain key executives; 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; the evolution of various types of fraud or other criminal behaviour to which the Bank is exposed; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank or its affiliates, including relating to the care and control of information; the impact of new and changes to, or application of, current laws and regulations, including without limitation tax laws, risk-based capital guidelines and liquidity regulatory guidance; exposure related to significant litigation and regulatory matters; increased competition, including through internet and mobile banking and non-traditional competitors; changes to the Bank's credit ratings; changes in currency and interest rates (including the possibility of negative interest rates); increased funding costs and market volatility due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; critical accounting estimates and changes to accounting standards, policies, and methods used by the Bank; existing and potential international debt crises; and the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events and claims resulting from such events. The Bank cautions 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 refer to the "Risk Factors and Management" section of the 2016 MD&A, as may be updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders and news releases (as applicable) related to any transactions or events 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 the Bank cautions 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 2016 MD&A under the headings "Economic Summary and Outlook", and for each business segment, "Business Outlook and Focus for 2017", each as may be 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, the current GAAP, and refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS as "reported" results. The Bank also utilizes non-GAAP financial measures referred to as "adjusted" results to assess each of its businesses and to measure the Bank's overall performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank removes "items of note", 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 disclosed in Table 3. As explained, adjusted results differ 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.

¹	Adjusted non-interest income excludes the following items of note: Loss on sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe, as explained in footnote 5 ‑ third quarter 2017 – $42 million. Fair value of derivatives hedging the reclassified available‑for‑sale (AFS) securities portfolio, as explained in footnote 6 ‑ first quarter 2017 – $41 million gain, second quarter 2016 – $58 million loss, and first quarter 2016 – $46 million gain. These amounts were reported in the Corporate segment.
²	Adjusted non-interest expenses excludes the following items of note: Amortization of intangibles, as explained in footnote 4 ‑ third quarter 2017 – $58 million, second quarter 2017 –$63 million, first quarter 2017 – $64 million, third quarter 2016 – $63 million, second quarter 2016 – $69 million, and first quarter 2016 – $74 million. Impairment of goodwill, non-financial assets, and other charges, as explained in footnote 7 ‑ second quarter 2016 – $111 million. These amounts were reported in the Corporate segment.
³	Adjusted equity in net income of an investment in TD Ameritrade excludes the following items of note: Amortization of intangibles as explained in footnote 4 ‑ third quarter 2017 – $16 million, second quarter 2017 – $15 million, first quarter 2017 – $16 million, third quarter 2016 – $16 million, second quarter 2016 – $17 million, and first quarter 2016 – $16 million. These amounts were reported in the Corporate segment.
⁴	Amortization of intangibles relates to intangibles acquired as a result of asset acquisitions and business combinations, including the after tax amounts for amortization of intangibles relating to the equity in net income of the investment in TD Ameritrade. Although the amortization of software and asset servicing rights are recorded in amortization of intangibles, they are not included for purposes of the items of note.
⁵	On June 2, 2017, the Bank completed the sale of its Direct Investing business in Europe to Interactive Investor PLC. A loss of $40 million after tax, which remains subject to the final purchase price adjustment, was recorded in the Corporate segment in other income (loss). The loss is not considered to be in the normal course of business for the Bank.
⁶	The Bank changed its trading strategy with respect to certain trading debt securities and reclassified these securities from trading to the available-for-sale category effective August 1, 2008. These debt securities are economically hedged, primarily with credit default swap and interest rate swap contracts which are recorded on a fair value basis with changes in fair value recorded in the period's earnings. As a result the derivatives were accounted for on an accrual basis in Wholesale Banking and the gains and losses related to the derivatives in excess of the accrued amounts were reported in the Corporate segment. Adjusted results of the Bank in prior periods exclude the gains and losses of the derivatives in excess of the accrued amount. Effective February 1, 2017, the total gains and losses as a result of changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in Wholesale Banking.
⁷	In the second quarter of 2016, the Bank recorded impairment losses on goodwill, certain intangibles, other non-financial assets and deferred tax assets, as well as other charges relating to the Direct Investing business in Europe that had been experiencing continued losses. These amounts are reported in the Corporate segment.

²	For explanations of items of note, refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Reconciliation of Adjusted to Reported Net Income" table in the "How We Performed" section of this document.

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. The capital allocated to the business segments is based on 9% CET1 Capital.

Adjusted return on common equity (ROE) is adjusted net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity.

Adjusted ROE is a non-GAAP financial measure as it is not a defined term 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.

HOW OUR BUSINESSES PERFORMED

For management reporting purposes, the Bank reports its results under three key business segments: Canadian Retail, which includes the results of the Canadian personal and commercial banking, wealth, and insurance businesses; U.S. Retail, which includes the results of the U.S. personal and business banking operations, wealth management services, and the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade; and Wholesale Banking. The Bank's other activities are grouped into the Corporate segment.

Results of each business segment reflect revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities generated by the businesses in that segment. Where applicable, the Bank measures and evaluates the performance of each segment based on adjusted results and ROE, and for those segments the Bank indicates that the measure is adjusted. For further details, refer to the "How the Bank Reports" section of this document, the "Business Focus" section in the 2016 MD&A, and Note 30 of the Bank's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2016. For information concerning the Bank's measure of ROE, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, refer to 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's results are reversed in the Corporate segment. The TEB adjustment for the quarter was $59 million, compared with $79 million in the third quarter last year, and $457 million in the prior quarter. The TEB adjustment for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, was $628 million, compared with $226 million the same period last year.

Effective the first quarter of 2017, the Bank changed the framework for classifying assets under administration (AUA) and assets under management (AUM). The primary change is to recognize mutual funds sold through the branch network as part of AUA. In addition, AUA has been updated to reflect a change in the measurement of certain business activities within Canadian Retail. Comparative amounts have been recast to conform with the revised presentation.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016
Canadian Retail net income for the quarter was $1,725 million, an increase of $216 million, or 14%, compared with the third quarter last year. The increase in earnings reflects revenue growth, lower insurance claims, and lower PCL, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses. The annualized ROE for the quarter was 46.9%, compared with 41.9% in the third quarter last year.

Canadian Retail revenue is derived from Canadian personal and commercial banking, wealth, and insurance businesses. Revenue for the quarter was $5,329 million, an increase of $188 million, or 4%, compared with the third quarter last year. Net interest income increased $173 million, or 7%, reflecting loan and deposit volume growth. Margin on average earning assets was 2.84%, an increase of 5 basis points (bps), primarily due to favourable balance sheet mix. Non-interest income increased $15 million, or 1%, reflecting higher fee-based revenue in all businesses, partially offset by changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar decrease to insurance claims.

Average loan volumes increased $17 billion, or 5%, compared with the third quarter last year, comprising 4% growth in personal loan volumes and 8% growth in business loan volumes. Average deposit volumes increased $30 billion, or 11%, compared with the third quarter last year, comprising 7% growth in personal deposit volumes, 17% growth in business deposit volumes, and 11% growth in wealth deposit volumes.

AUA were $370 billion as at July 31, 2017, a decrease of $2 billion, or 1%, compared with the third quarter last year, as new asset growth was more than offset by the sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe. Adjusted for the sale, AUA increased by $26 billion, or 7%. AUM were $272 billion as at July 31, 2017, an increase of $4 billion, or 1%, compared with the third quarter last year, as a result of new asset growth.

PCL for the quarter was $238 million, a decrease of $20 million, or 8%, compared with the third quarter last year. Personal banking PCL was $227 million, a decrease of $21 million, or 8%. The decrease reflects lower provisions in credit cards, personal lending and auto lending portfolios in the current quarter. Business banking PCL was $11 million, an increase of $1 million. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.25%, a decrease of 3 bps. Net impaired loans were $571 million, a decrease of $161 million, or 22%. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.15%, compared with 0.20% as at July 31, 2016.

Insurance claims and related expenses for the quarter were $519 million, a decrease of $173 million, or 25%, compared with the third quarter last year, reflecting changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar decrease to non-interest income, prior year impact of the Fort McMurray wildfire, and less severe weather conditions.

Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $2,219 million, an increase of $86 million, or 4%, compared with the third quarter last year. The increase reflects higher employee related expenses including revenue-based variable expenses in the wealth business, higher investment in strategic technology initiatives, partially offset by productivity savings, and the sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter was 41.6%, compared with 41.5% in the third quarter last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q2 2017
Canadian Retail net income for the quarter increased $155 million, or 10%, compared with the prior quarter. The increase in earnings reflects revenue growth, the effect of three additional days in the quarter, and lower insurance claims. The annualized ROE for the quarter was 46.9%, compared with 45.0% in the prior quarter.

Revenue increased $197 million, or 4%, compared with the prior quarter. Net interest income increased $159 million, or 6%, reflecting the effect of three additional days in the third quarter as well as loan and deposit volume growth. Margin on average earning assets was 2.84%, an increase of 3 bps, reflecting favourable balance sheet and business mix. While many factors affect margins and they will continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter, the improving economic environment is expected to support a more positive trend in the margin on average earning assets. Non-interest income increased $38 million, or 1%, reflecting higher fee-based revenue in all businesses, and seasonality of insurance premiums, partially offset by changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar decrease to insurance claims.

Average loan volumes increased $6 billion, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily in personal loan volumes. Average deposit volumes increased $9 billion, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting 2% growth in personal deposit volumes and 6% growth in business deposit volumes, partially offset by a 3% decline in wealth deposit volumes.

AUA decreased $34 billion, or 8%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting the sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe, and decreases in market value, partially offset by new asset growth. Adjusted for the sale, AUA decreased by $6 billion, or 1%. AUM decreased $7 billion, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting decreases in market value, partially offset by new asset growth.

PCL for the quarter increased $3 million, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.25%, or a decrease of 1 basis point. Net impaired loans decreased $90 million, or 14%. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.15%, compared with 0.18% as at April 30, 2017.

Insurance claims and related expenses for the quarter decreased $19 million, or 4%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar decrease in non-interest income, and more favourable prior years' claim development, partially offset by seasonality of claims.

Non-interest expenses increased $1 million, reflecting the effect of three additional days in the third quarter, partially offset by the sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter was 41.6%, compared with 43.2% in the prior quarter.

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016
Canadian Retail net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, was $4,861 million, an increase of $375 million, or 8%, compared with same period last year. The increase in earnings reflects revenue growth, and lower insurance claims, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and the effect of one less day in the current period. The annualized ROE for the period was 45.0%, compared with 42.0% with the same period last year.

Revenue for the period was $15,664 million, an increase of $605 million, or 4%, compared with same period last year. Net interest income increased $410 million, or 6%, reflecting deposit and loan volume growth, partially offset by the effect of one less day. Margin on average earning assets was 2.82%, a 3 bps increase, primarily due to favourable balance sheet mix. Non-interest income increased $195 million, or 3%, reflecting higher fee-based revenue in all businesses, and the impact of investment activities, partially offset by changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar decrease to insurance claims.

Average loan volumes increased $16 billion, or 4%, compared with the same period last year, reflecting 3% growth in personal loan volumes, and 8% growth in business loan volumes. Average deposit volumes increased $31 billion, or 11%, compared with the same period last year, reflecting 7% growth in personal deposit volumes, 17% growth in business deposit volumes, and 18% growth in wealth deposit volumes.
