TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2017 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group ("TD" or the "Bank") today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2017. Fourth quarter reported earnings were $2.7 billion, up 18% on a reported basis and 11% on an adjusted basis compared with the same quarter last year, reflecting growth across both Canadian and U.S. Retail segments. Reported earnings for the year were $10.5 billion, an increase of 18% over last year and adjusted earnings were $10.6 billion, an increase of 14%.

"We are pleased with our performance this quarter and our overall earnings growth in 2017," said Bharat Masrani, Group President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our businesses delivered good revenue growth and market share gains, and we made significant investments to transform and enhance the customer experience."

Canadian Retail
Canadian Retail net income was $1,664 million, an increase of 11% from the fourth quarter last year, reflecting good revenue growth and continued focus on expense management. Our Canadian Retail businesses delivered increased loan and deposit volumes this quarter, which led to record real estate lending originations this year, and we continue to maintain industry-leading chequing and savings volumes. TD Direct Investing introduced two new enhancements to the TD mobile banking App this quarter – push notifications for price and volume alerts, and complex option orders, further extending our Canadian industry leadership on the mobile platform.

U.S. Retail
U.S. Retail reported net income was $776 million (US$621 million) and adjusted net income was $812 million (US$650 million), an increase of 11% (16% in U.S. dollars) on a reported basis and 16% (21% in U.S. dollars) on an adjusted basis, compared with the fourth quarter last year.

The U.S. Retail Bank, which excludes the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade, reported net income of $671 million (US$538 million) and adjusted net income of $687 million (US$551 million), an increase of 10% (16% in U.S. dollars) on a reported basis and 13% (18% in U.S. dollars) on an adjusted basis, compared with the fourth quarter last year. The U.S. Retail Bank recorded good revenue growth on market share gains and increased loan and deposit volumes.

TD Ameritrade contributed $105 million (US$83 million) in reported earnings to the segment and $125 million (US$99 million) in adjusted earnings, a 13% increase (17% in U.S. dollars) on a reported basis and 34% (39% in U.S. dollars) on an adjusted basis, compared with the fourth quarter last year.

Wholesale Banking
Wholesale Banking net income was $231 million. Revenue for the quarter was $694 million, a decrease of $47 million, or 6%, compared with the fourth quarter last year reflecting lower trading-related revenue due to weaker capital markets activity. Wholesale Banking continues to invest in new product and service areas with the continued expansion of our U.S. dollar businesses and the opening of our Tokyo office.

Capital
TD's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio on a Basel III fully phased-in basis was 10.7%, compared to 11.0% last quarter.

Conclusion
"I would like to thank our 85,000 colleagues for enriching the lives of our customers and communities," said Masrani. "As we build the better bank of the future, we remain focused on harnessing the power of our people, business and brand, and delivering One TD to those we serve. Current economic and market conditions bode well for us to deliver strong financial results in 2018."

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 ("2017 MD&A") under the heading "Economic Summary and Outlook", for the Canadian Retail, U.S. Retail and Wholesale Banking segments under headings "Business Outlook and Focus for 2018", and for the Corporate segment, "Focus for 2018", and in other statements regarding the Bank's objectives and priorities for 2018 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, interest rate, and credit spreads), 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 and the bank recapitalization "bail-in" regime; 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 2017 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 2017 MD&A under the headings "Economic Summary and Outlook", for the Canadian Retail, U.S. Retail, and Wholesale Banking segments, "Business Outlook and Focus for 2018", and for the Corporate segment, "Focus for 2018", 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.

This document was reviewed by the Bank's Audit Committee and was approved by the Bank's Board of Directors, on the Audit Committee's recommendation, prior to its release.

Adjusted measures are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the "How the Bank Reports" section of this document for an explanation of reported and adjusted results.

2

Each capital ratio has its own risk-weighted assets (RWA) measure due to the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI) prescribed scalar for inclusion of the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA). For fiscal 2016, the scalars for inclusion of CVA for Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1, and Total Capital RWA were 64%, 71%, and 77%, respectively. For fiscal 2017, the scalars are 72%, 77%, and 81%, respectively. As the Bank is constrained by the Basel 1 regulatory floor, the RWA as it relates to the regulatory floor is calculated based on the Basel 1 risk weights which are the same for all capital ratios.

3

Adjusted return on common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the "Return on Common Equity" section of this document for an explanation.

4

Excludes acquired credit-impaired (ACI) loans and debt securities classified as loans. For additional information on ACI loans, refer to the "Credit Portfolio Quality" section of the 2017 MD&A and Note 8 of the 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional information on debt securities classified as loans, refer to the "Exposure to Non-Agency Collateralized Mortgage Obligations" discussion and tables in the "Credit Portfolio Quality" section of the 2017 MD&A and Note 8 of the 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements.

5

Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) closing market price.

6

Certain comparative amounts have been recast to conform with the presentation adopted in the current period.

7

Dividend yield is calculated as the dividend per common share divided by the daily average closing stock price in the relevant period. Dividend per common share is derived as follows: a) for the quarter – by annualizing the dividend per common share paid during the quarter, and b) for the full year – dividend per common share paid during the year.

8

Total shareholder return (TSR) is calculated based on share price movement and dividends reinvested over a trailing one year period.


HOW WE PERFORMED

How the Bank Reports
The Bank prepares its 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.

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 September 18, 2017, the Bank acquired Scottrade Bank and TD Ameritrade acquired Scottrade. Scottrade Bank merged with TD Bank, N.A. The Bank and TD Ameritrade incurred acquisition related charges including employee severance, contract termination fees, direct transaction costs, and other one-time charges. These amounts have been recorded as an adjustment to net income including $26 million ($16 million after tax) relating to the charges associated with the Bank's acquisition of Scottrade Bank and $20 million after tax amounts relating to the Bank's share of charges associated with TD Ameritrade's acquisition of Scottrade reported in the U.S. Retail segment.

6

In connection with TD Ameritrade's acquisition of Scottrade on September 18, 2017, TD Ameritrade issued 38.8 million shares, of which the Bank purchased 11.1 million pursuant to its pre-emptive rights (together with the Bank's acquisition of Scottrade Bank and TD Ameritrade's acquisition of Scottrade, the "Scottrade transaction"). As a result of the share issuances, the Bank's common stock ownership percentage in TD Ameritrade decreased and the Bank realized a dilution gain of $204 million reported in the Corporate segment.

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.

Adjusted effective income tax rate is the adjusted provision for income taxes before other taxes as a percentage of adjusted net income before taxes.

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% Common Equity Tier 1 (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 and 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.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN 2017

On September 18, 2017, the Bank acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Scottrade Bank, a federal savings bank wholly-owned by Scottrade, for cash consideration of approximately $1.6 billion (US$1.4 billion). Scottrade Bank merged with TD Bank, N.A. In connection with the acquisition, TD has agreed to accept sweep deposits from Scottrade clients, expanding the Bank's sweep deposit activities. The acquisition is consistent with the Bank's U.S. strategy and is accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method.

The acquisition contributed $15 billion of investment securities, $5 billion of loans, and $19 billion of deposit liabilities. Goodwill of $34 million reflects the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The results of the acquired business have been consolidated from the date of close and are included in the U.S. Retail segment.

TD Ameritrade also concurrently completed its acquisition of Scottrade on September 18, 2017 for cash and TD Ameritrade shares. Pursuant to its pre-emptive rights, the Bank purchased 11.1 million new common shares in TD Ameritrade. As a result of the share issuance, the Bank's common stock ownership percentage in TD Ameritrade decreased and the Bank realized a dilution gain of $204 million.

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 2017 MD&A, and Note 29 of the Bank's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2017. For information concerning the Bank's measure of adjusted return on average common equity, 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 $26 million, compared with $86 million in the fourth quarter last year, and $59 million in the prior quarter.

1

Capital allocated to the business segment was based on 9% CET1 Capital in fiscal 2017 and 2016.

2

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 – Q4 2017 vs. Q4 2016
Canadian Retail net income for the quarter was $1,664 million, an increase of $162 million, or 11%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. The increase in earnings reflects revenue growth and lower PCL, partially offset by higher insurance claims and higher non-interest expenses. The annualized ROE for the quarter was 45.7%, compared with 41.5% in the fourth quarter last year.

Canadian Retail revenue is derived from the Canadian personal and commercial banking, wealth, and insurance businesses. Revenue for the quarter was $5,398 million, an increase of $248 million, or 5%, compared with the fourth quarter last year.

Net interest income increased $222 million, or 9%, reflecting loan and deposit volume growth, and higher margins. Average loan volumes increased $19 billion, or 5%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, reflecting 4% growth in personal loan volumes and 9% growth in business loan volumes. Average deposit volumes increased $23 billion, or 8%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, reflecting 6% growth in personal deposit volumes, 12% growth in business deposit volumes, and 4% growth in wealth deposit volumes. Margin on average earning assets was 2.86%, an 8 basis points (bps) increase, reflecting recent increases in interest rates and favourable balance sheet mix.

Non-interest income increased $26 million, or 1%, reflecting higher fee-based revenue in the banking businesses and wealth asset growth, partially offset by higher liabilities associated with increased customer engagement in credit card loyalty programs.

AUA were $387 billion as at October 31, 2017, an increase of $8 billion, or 2%, and AUM were $283 billion as at October 31, 2017, an increase of $12 billion, or 4%, compared with the fourth quarter of last year, both reflecting new asset growth and increases in market value.

PCL for the quarter was $244 million, a decrease of $19 million, or 7%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Personal banking PCL was $240 million, a decrease of $5 million, or 2%. Business banking PCL was $4 million, a decrease of $14 million. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.25%, or a decrease of 3 bps. Net impaired loans were $555 million, a decrease of $150 million, or 21%. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.14%, compared with 0.19% as at October 31, 2016.

Insurance claims and related expenses for the quarter were $615 million, an increase of $30 million, or 5%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, reflecting higher current year claims, partially offset by less weather-related events and more favourable prior years' claims development.

Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $2,272 million, an increase of $22 million, or 1%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. The increase reflects higher employee-related expenses including revenue-based variable expenses in the wealth business, and higher investment in technology initiatives, partially offset by productivity savings and the sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter was 42.1%, compared with 43.7% in the fourth quarter last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q4 2017 vs. Q3 2017
Canadian Retail net income for the quarter decreased $61 million, or 4%, compared with the prior quarter. The decrease in earnings reflects higher insurance claims, non-interest expenses, and PCL, partially offset by higher revenue. The annualized ROE for the quarter was 45.7%, compared with 46.9% in the prior quarter.

Revenue increased $69 million, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter. Net interest income increased $81 million, or 3%, reflecting loan and deposit volume growth, and higher margins. Average loan volumes increased $8 billion, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting 2% growth in personal loan volumes and 2% growth in business loan volumes. Average deposit volumes increased $3 billion, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting 1% growth in personal deposit volumes and 2% growth in business deposit volumes, partially offset by a 2% decrease in wealth deposit volumes. Margin on average earning assets was 2.86%, or a 2 bps increase, primarily as a result of the recent increases in interest rates in the quarter.

Non-interest income decreased $12 million, reflecting lower fee-based revenue in the banking businesses and higher liabilities associated with increased customer engagement in credit card loyalty programs, partially offset by changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar increase to insurance claims.

AUA were $387 billion as at October 31, 2017, an increase of $17 billion, or 5%, and AUM were $283 billion as at October 31, 2017, an increase of $11 billion, or 4%, compared with the third quarter of this year, both reflecting new asset growth and increases in market value.

PCL for the quarter increased $6 million, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter. Personal banking PCL for the quarter increased $13 million, or 6%, reflecting higher provisions in the credit cards portfolio in the current quarter. Business banking PCL decreased $7 million. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.25%, or flat. Net impaired loans decreased $16 million, or 3%. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.14%, compared with 0.15% as at July 31, 2017.

Insurance claims and related expenses for the quarter increased $96 million, or 18%, compared with the prior quarter reflecting higher current year claims, changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar increase in non-interest income, partially offset by less weather-related events and more favourable prior years' claims development.

Non-interest expenses increased $53 million, or 2%, reflecting business growth, higher employee-related expenses, and higher investment in technology.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter was 42.1%, compared with 41.6% in the prior quarter.

Effective the first quarter of 2017, the impact from certain treasury and balance sheet management activities relating to the U.S. Retail segment is recorded in the Corporate segment.

2

Adjusted U.S. Retail Bank net income excludes the following items of note: Charges associated with the Bank's acquisition of Scottrade Bank - fourth quarter 2017 – $26 million ($16 million after tax) or US$21 million (US$13 million after tax). 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.

3

Adjusted equity in net income of an investment in TD Ameritrade excludes the following items of note: The Bank's share of costs associated with TD Ameritrade's acquisition of Scottrade - fourth quarter 2017 – $20 million or US$16 million after tax amounts. 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.

4

Capital allocated to the business segments was based on 9% CET1 Capital in fiscal 2017 and 2016.

5

The margin on average earning assets excludes the impact related to the TD Ameritrade Insured Deposit Accounts and the impact of intercompany deposits and cash collateral. In addition, the value of tax-exempt interest income is adjusted to its equivalent before-tax value.

6

Effective the first quarter of 2017, the Bank changed the framework for classifying AUA and AUM. The primary change is to include a portion of the AUM balance administered by the Bank in AUA. Comparative amounts have been recast to conform with the revised presentation.

Quarterly comparison – Q4 2017 vs. Q4 2016
U.S. Retail reported net income for the quarter was $776 million (US$621 million), an increase of $75 million (US$85 million), or 11% (16% in U.S. dollars), compared with the fourth quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, net income for the quarter was $812 million (US$650 million), an increase of $111 million (US$114 million), or 16% (21% in U.S. dollars). The reported and adjusted annualized ROE for the quarter was 9.3% and 9.7% respectively, compared with 8.3%, in the fourth quarter last year.

U.S. Retail net income includes contributions from the U.S. Retail Bank and the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade. Reported net income for the quarter from the U.S. Retail Bank and the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade were $671 million (US$538 million) and $105 million (US$83 million), respectively. On an adjusted basis for the quarter, the U.S. Retail Bank and the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade contributed net income of $687 million (US$551 million) and $125 million (US$99 million), respectively.

The reported contribution from TD Ameritrade of US$83 million increased US$12 million, or 17% compared with the fourth quarter last year, primarily due to higher asset-based revenue, partially offset by charges associated with the Scottrade transaction. On an adjusted basis, the contribution from TD Ameritrade increased US$28 million, or 39%.

U.S. Retail Bank reported net income for the quarter increased US$73 million, or 16%, due to a more favourable interest rate environment, higher loan and deposit volumes, and fee income growth, partially offset by higher expenses. U.S. Retail Bank adjusted net income increased US$86 million, or 18%.

U.S. Retail Bank revenue is derived from personal and business banking, and wealth management. Revenue for the quarter was US$2,032 million, an increase of US$184 million, or 10%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Net interest income increased US$102 million, or 7%, primarily due to a more favourable interest rate environment and growth in loan and deposit volumes, partially offset by the prior year accounting impact from balance sheet management activities, which was largely offset in non-interest income. Margin on average earning assets was 3.18%, a 5 bps increase due to the same prior year accounting impact. Excluding this impact, margin increased 16 bps, primarily due to higher interest rates. Non‑interest income increased US$82 million, or 18%, reflecting fee income growth in personal banking and wealth management, and the prior year accounting impact from balance sheet management activities.

Average loan volumes increased US$8 billion, or 6%, compared with the fourth quarter last year due to growth in business and personal loans of 5% and 7%, respectively. Average deposit volumes increased US$17 billion, or 7%, reflecting 2% growth in business deposit volumes, 7% growth in personal deposit volumes, and an 11% increase in sweep deposit volume from TD Ameritrade. The increase in sweep deposit volume was primarily driven by the Scottrade transaction.

AUA were US$18 billion as at October 31, 2017, an increase of 5%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, primarily due to higher private banking balances. AUM were US$63 billion as at October 31, 2017, a decrease of 5%, primarily due to the previously disclosed outflow from an institutional account, partially offset by positive market returns.

PCL for the quarter was US$163 million, an increase of US$17 million, or 12%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Personal banking PCL was US$161 million, an increase of US$56 million, or 53%, primarily due to higher provisions related to growth and mix in auto lending and credit cards. Business banking PCL was US$9 million, a decrease of US$31 million, primarily due to higher increase in commercial allowance in the prior year. PCL associated with debt securities classified as loans was a benefit of US$7 million, a decrease of US$8 million reflecting improvement in cash flows associated with underlying mortgage assets. Net impaired loans, excluding ACI loans and debt securities classified as loans, were US$1.4 billion, a decrease of US$54 million, or 4%. Excluding ACI loans and debt securities classified as loans, net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.9% as at October 31, 2017, a decrease of 0.1% compared with the fourth quarter last year.

Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter were US$1,222 million, an increase of US$80 million, or 7%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, reflecting higher employee costs and investments in business initiatives, volume growth, and charges associated with the Scottrade transaction, partially offset by productivity savings and charges for store closures in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, non-interest expenses increased US$59 million, or 5%.

The reported and adjusted efficiency ratios for the quarter were 60.1% and 59.1% respectively, compared with 61.8%, in the fourth quarter last year.

U.S. Retail reported net income decreased US$57 million, or 8%, compared with the prior quarter, while adjusted net income decreased US$28 million, or 4%. U.S. Retail Canadian dollar net income decreased $125 million, or 14%, with a decrease in adjusted net income by $89 million, or 10%. The reported and adjusted annualized ROE for the quarter was 9.3% and 9.7% respectively, compared to 10.3% in the prior quarter.

The reported contribution from TD Ameritrade decreased US$5 million, or 6%, compared with the prior quarter primarily due to charges associated with the Scottrade transaction, partially offset by higher asset-based revenue. On an adjusted basis, the contribution from TD Ameritrade increased US$11 million, or 13%.

U.S. Retail Bank reported net income for the quarter decreased US$52 million, or 9%, compared with the prior quarter, due to higher expenses and PCL, partially offset by higher revenue. U.S. Retail Bank adjusted net income for the quarter decreased US$39 million, or 7%.

Revenue for the quarter increased US$33 million, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter. Net interest income increased US$41 million, or 3%, primarily due to higher loan and deposit volumes and a more favourable interest rate environment. Margin on average earning assets was 3.18%, a 4 bps increase, primarily due to higher interest rates and balance sheet mix. Non‑interest income decreased US$8 million.

Average loan volumes increased US$4 billion, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter, due to growth in business and personal loans of 1% and 5%, respectively. Average deposit volumes increased US$9 billion, or 4%, reflecting 2% growth in business deposit volumes and a 9% increase in sweep deposit volume from TD Ameritrade. The increase in sweep deposit volume was primarily driven by the Scottrade transaction.

AUA were US$18 billion as at October 31, 2017, relatively flat compared with the prior quarter. AUM were US$63 billion as at October 31, 2017, an increase of 3%, primarily due to positive market returns.

PCL for the quarter increased US$26 million, or 19%, compared with the prior quarter. Personal banking PCL was US$161 million, an increase of US$41 million, or 34%, primarily reflecting seasonal trends in the credit card and auto portfolios. Business banking PCL was US$9 million, a decrease of US$7 million. PCL associated with debt securities classified as loans was a benefit of US$7 million, a decrease of US$8 million, reflecting improvement in cash flows associated with underlying mortgage assets. Net impaired loans, excluding ACI loans and debt securities classified as loans, were US$1.4 billion, an increase of US$18 million, or 1%. Excluding ACI loans and debt securities classified as loans, net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were relatively flat at 0.9% as at October 31, 2017.

Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter increased US$109 million, or 10%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to seasonal increase in regulatory fees, higher investments in business initiatives and employee costs, as well as charges associated with the Scottrade transaction, partially offset by charges for store closures in the prior quarter. On an adjusted basis, non-interest expenses increased US$88 million, or 8%.

The reported and adjusted efficiency ratios for the quarter were 60.1% and 59.1% respectively, compared with 55.7% in the prior quarter.

Capital allocated to the business segment was based on 9% CET1 Capital in fiscal 2017 and 2016.

Quarterly comparison – Q4 2017 vs. Q4 2016
Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter was $231 million, a decrease of $7 million, or 3%, compared with the fourth quarter last year reflecting lower revenue, partially offset by lower non-interest expenses and lower taxes.

Revenue for the quarter was $694 million, a decrease of $47 million, or 6%, compared with the fourth quarter last year reflecting lower trading-related revenue due to weaker capital markets activity.

Non-interest expenses were $420 million, a decrease of $12 million, or 3%, compared with the fourth quarter last year reflecting lower variable compensation, partially offset by operating expenses related to TD Prime Services.

Quarterly comparison – Q4 2017 vs. Q3 2017
Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter decreased $62 million, or 21%, compared with the prior quarter reflecting lower revenue, partially offset by lower non-interest expenses and lower taxes. The annualized ROE for the quarter was 16.0%, compared with 19.6% in the prior quarter.

In connection with TD Ameritrade's acquisition of Scottrade on September 18, 2017, TD Ameritrade issued 38.8 million shares, of which the Bank purchased 11.1 million pursuant to its pre-emptive rights. As a result of the share issuance, the Bank's common stock ownership percentage in TD Ameritrade decreased and the Bank realized the above dilution gain.

Quarterly comparison – Q4 2017 vs. Q4 2016
Corporate segment's reported net income for the quarter was $41 million, compared with a reported net loss of $138 million in the fourth quarter last year. The year-over-year increase in reported net income was primarily attributable to the dilution gain on the Scottrade transaction in the current quarter and decrease in net corporate expenses, partially offset by lower contribution from Other items. Net corporate expenses were lower reflecting the positive impact of tax adjustments in the current quarter. Other items decreased primarily due to lower revenue from treasury and balance sheet management activities, and favourable impact of tax items recognized in the same quarter last year. Adjusted net loss was $104 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $94 million in the fourth quarter last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q4 2017 vs. Q3 2017
Corporate segment's reported net income for the quarter was $41 million, compared with a reported net loss of $150 million in the prior quarter. The quarter over quarter increase in reported net income was primarily attributable to the dilution gain on the Scottrade transaction in the current quarter and the loss on sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe the prior quarter, partially offset by lower contribution from Other items and increase in net corporate expenses. Other items decreased primarily due to lower revenue from treasury and balance sheet management activities, and favourable impact of tax items recognized in the prior quarter. Net corporate expenses increased due to higher positive impact of tax adjustments in the prior quarter and timing of certain other expenses in the current quarter. Adjusted net loss was $104 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $54 million in the prior quarter.
