EARNINGS RELEASE

  ROYAL BANK OF CANADA REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

All amounts are in Canadian dollars and are based on financial statements prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting, unless otherwise noted. Our Q1 2020 Report to Shareholders and Supplementary Financial Information are available at: http://www.rbc.com/investorrelations.

Net Income $3.5 Billion Record earnings Diluted EPS¹ $2.40 Strong 12% growth YoY ROE² 17.6% Balanced capital deployment CET1 Ratio 12.0% Robust capital levels

TORONTO, February 21, 2020 – Royal Bank of Canada (RY on TSX and NYSE) today reported net income of $3,509 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2020, up $337 million or 11% from the prior year, with strong diluted EPS growth of 12%. Results were driven by record earnings in Capital Markets, as well as by strong earnings growth in Personal & Commercial Banking reflecting continued robust volume growth in our Canadian Banking franchise. Solid earnings growth in Wealth Management and Insurance also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by lower results in Investor & Treasury Services.

Compared to last quarter, net income was up $303 million with higher results in Capital Markets, Investor & Treasury Services, Personal & Commercial Banking, and Corporate Support. These factors were partially offset by lower earnings in Wealth Management and Insurance. Q4 2019 results included a gain on the sale of the private debt business of BlueBay ($134 million after-tax) in Wealth Management, which was largely offset by higher severance and related costs ($83 million after-tax) associated with the repositioning of our Investor & Treasury Services business, as well as by an unfavourable accounting adjustment ($41 million after-tax) in Corporate Support.

Results this quarter also reflect lower provisions for credit losses (PCL), with a total PCL on loans ratio of 26 basis points (bps). PCL on impaired loans ratio of 21 bps improved 6 bps from last quarter, due to lower provisions on impaired loans in Personal & Commercial Banking and Wealth Management. Our capital position remained robust, with a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 12.0%. In addition, today we announced an increase to our quarterly dividend of $0.03 or 3% to $1.08 per share.

“We had a strong start to the year with earnings growth of 11% year-over-year. These results reflect the underlying strength of our diversified business mix, our focused strategy, and our colleagues’ unwavering commitment to creating more value for clients as we position the bank for the future. In addition to delivering record earnings this quarter, we are pleased to increase our quarterly dividend by three per cent. Against the uncertain macroeconomic backdrop, we remain focused on prudently managing our risks, leveraging our scale and competitive position, and balancing our investments in technology and talent for long-term, sustainable growth.”

  Personal & Commercial Banking

Net income of $1,686 million increased $115 million or 7% from last year, mainly due to average loan growth of 7%, reflecting strong growth in residential mortgages, and strong average deposit growth of 9% in Canadian Banking. Higher mutual fund distribution fees, reflecting higher balances driven by strong market appreciation and net sales, also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by lower spreads, mainly due to the impact of competitive pricing pressures and changes in product mix. Net income was also impacted by an increase in technology and related costs, including digital initiatives for both our personal and business banking

clients, as well as higher staff-related costs. The prior year also included a write-down of deferred tax assets resulting from a change in the corporate tax rate in Barbados.

Compared to last quarter, net income increased $68 million or 4%, mainly due to lower PCL and higher card service revenue.

  Wealth Management

Net income of $623 million increased $26 million or 4% from a year ago, primarily due to an increase in average fee-based client assets reflecting market appreciation, largely due to strong North American equity markets, and net sales as our clients continued to trust us with more of their business. Higher transaction volumes also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by higher variable compensation commensurate with revenue growth, as well as higher technology and staff-related costs. The prior year was also impacted by a favourable accounting adjustment of $28 million related to Canadian Wealth Management.

Compared to last quarter, net income decreased $106 million or 15%, mainly due to the gain on sale of the private debt business of BlueBay ($134 million after-tax) in the prior quarter.

  Insurance

Net income of $181 million increased $15 million or 9% from a year ago, mainly due to new longevity reinsurance contracts, partially offset by the lower impact from reinsurance contract renegotiations.

Compared to last quarter, net income decreased $101 million or 36%, primarily due to the impact of lower favourable investment-related experience, new longevity reinsurance contracts and reinsurance contract renegotiations.

  Investor & Treasury Services

Net income of $143 million decreased $18 million or 11% from a year ago, primarily due to lower client deposit margins and lower revenue from our asset services business.

Compared to last quarter, net income increased $98 million, primarily due to severance and related costs associated with the repositioning of the business in the prior quarter.

  Capital Markets

Net income of $882 million increased $229 million or 35% from a year ago, primarily due to higher fixed income trading revenue across all regions, with particular strength in corporate bond and interest rate trading. Higher M&A activity, primarily in North America, and higher debt origination, largely in the U.S., also contributed to the increase. In addition, PCL was lower as the prior year was impacted by a provision on impaired loans in one utilities account. These factors were partially offset by higher compensation on improved results and a higher effective tax rate, largely reflecting changes in earnings mix.

Compared to last quarter, net income increased $298 million or 51%, primarily due to higher revenue in Global Markets and Corporate and Investment Banking. These factors were partially offset by higher compensation on improved results and a higher effective tax rate, largely reflecting changes in earnings mix.

  Capital and Credit Quality

Capital – As at January 31, 2020, Basel III CET1 ratio was 12.0%, down 10 bps from last quarter, mainly reflecting higher risk-weighted assets, share repurchases, the impact of lower discount rates in determining our pension and other post-employment benefit obligations, and the net impact of regulatory and model updates, partially offset by internal capital generation. We distributed $2.2 billion, or over 60%, of our quarterly earnings to our shareholders through dividends and buybacks.

Credit Quality – Total PCL was $419 million. PCL on loans of $421 million decreased $95 million or 18% from the prior year, primarily due to lower provisions in Capital Markets and Wealth Management. The total PCL on loans ratio of 26 bps improved 8 bps from the prior year. The PCL on impaired loans ratio was 21 bps.

PCL on loans decreased $84 million or 17% from the prior quarter, and the total PCL on loans ratio improved 6 bps from last quarter. The PCL on impaired loans ratio improved 6 bps, due to lower provisions on impaired loans in Personal & Commercial Banking, mainly in our Canadian Banking commercial portfolios, and Wealth Management.

  Digitally Enabled Relationship Bank

90-day Active Mobile users increased 15% from a year ago to 4.6 million, resulting in a 22% increase in mobile sessions. Digital adoption increased to 52.5%.

From time to time, we make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws, including the “safe harbour” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any applicable Canadian securities legislation. We may make forward-looking statements in this Earnings Release, in other filings with Canadian regulators or the SEC, in other reports to shareholders, and in other communications.

We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements as a number of risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors – many of which are beyond our control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict – include: credit, market, liquidity and funding, insurance, operational, regulatory compliance, strategic, reputation, legal and regulatory environment, competitive and systemic risks and other risks discussed in the risk sections of our 2019 Annual Report and the Risk management section of our Q1 2020 Report to Shareholders; including information technology and cyber risk, privacy, data and third party related risks, geopolitical uncertainty, Canadian housing and household indebtedness, regulatory changes, digital disruption and innovation, climate change, the business and economic conditions in the geographic regions in which we operate, the effects of changes in government fiscal, monetary and other policies, tax risk and transparency, and environmental and social risk.

We caution that the foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive and other factors could also adversely affect our results. When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to us, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events.

Economic, market and regulatory review and outlook – data as at February 20, 2020

The predictions and forecasts in this section are based on information and assumptions from sources we consider reliable. If this information or these assumptions are not accurate, actual economic outcomes may differ materially from the outlook presented in this section.

Economic and market review and outlook

Canada

The Canadian economy is expected to have grown by a modest 0.3%¹ in the final calendar quarter of 2019, down from an already below-trend pace of 1.3%¹ in the prior calendar quarter. The slowdown partially reflects transitory factors, including labour and transportation disruptions. However, the underlying pace of growth also appears to have slowed somewhat and job growth was less robust in the last calendar quarter of 2019. While recent indicators suggest global growth has stabilized albeit at a slower pace alongside easing trade tensions, Canada’s manufacturing sector continues to soften and business investment is likely to remain modest. Additional transitory factors in the first calendar quarter of 2020, such as reduced rail transportation services, will offset some of the rebound from the previous calendar quarter’s transitory factors. Lower mortgage rates and relatively strong population growth continue to support housing, however, elevated household debt levels continue to restrain consumer spending. We expect only a moderate rebound in GDP growth in the first calendar quarter of 2020. The Bank of Canada (BoC) has held its overnight rate steady at 1.75% for fifteen consecutive months but indicated the possibility of a rate cut if growth remains slow.

U.S.

The U.S. economy grew at a healthy 2.1%¹ in the final calendar quarter of 2019, matching the prior calendar quarter’s increase. Labour markets and consumer spending remain solid, and housing activity has picked up amid lower interest rates. Although business investment and industrial production have been soft, recent easing in trade tensions, including the phase one trade agreement between the U.S. and China, pending ratification of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), as well as modest improvement in business sentiment, suggest scope for improvement in the coming quarters. We expect U.S. GDP will grow at a trend-like pace in the first calendar quarter of 2020. After cutting its benchmark interest rate three times in calendar 2019, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to hold rates steady throughout calendar 2020.

Europe

Euro area GDP growth slowed to 0.1% in the final calendar quarter of 2019 following a 0.3% increase in the previous calendar quarter. Both the French and Italian economies contracted at the end of calendar 2019 and survey data show some improvement in the manufacturing sector and stabilization in the services industries. GDP growth is expected to return closer to its longer-term trend in calendar 2020, supported by accommodative monetary policy from the European Central Bank that is expected to remain in place throughout the year. The U.K. left the European Union (EU) on January 31, 2020 but will maintain full access to the single market during a transition period that is set to continue until the end of calendar 2020. Less near-term concern about a no-deal Brexit has boosted business sentiment, though U.K. GDP growth remained soft in the final calendar quarter of 2019. The Bank of England held interest rates steady in January, with the expectation that GDP growth will pick up in early 2020.

Financial markets

Concerns about the economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak have pushed government bond yields lower, weighed on equity markets in Asia and commodity prices have also declined amid demand concerns. Government bond yields are expected to increase when COVID-19 fears fade, but geopolitical risks, ongoing trade tensions and indications that monetary policy will remain stimulative will likely prevent a more substantial increase in yields. The increase in oil prices in early-calendar 2020 due to U.S.-Iran tensions was not sustained.

Regulatory environment

We continue to monitor and prepare for regulatory developments and changes in a manner that seeks to ensure compliance with new requirements while mitigating any adverse business or financial impacts. Such impacts could result from new or amended laws and regulations and the expectations of those who enforce them. A high level summary of the key regulatory changes that have the potential to increase or decrease our costs and the complexity of our operations is included in the Legal and regulatory environment risk section of our 2019 Annual Report, as updated below.

Global uncertainty

Despite easing of trade tensions, trade policy and geopolitical tensions continue to pose risks to the global economic outlook. In January 2020, the International Monetary Fund further lowered its 2020 and 2021 global growth projections amid threats related to global trade and tensions in the Middle East. On January 31, 2020, the U.K. withdrew from the EU and entered into a transition period during which time the two parties will be negotiating their trade and security agreement before the December 31, 2020 deadline. Both the U.S. and Mexico have ratified CUSMA. After its ratification by Canada, CUSMA will help reduce lingering uncertainty about trade within North America. In January 2020, the U.S. and China agreed to a phase one deal which, among other provisions will provide relief on some tariffs; however, remaining tariffs may continue to pressure trade activity and the broader U.S.-China relationship. Concerns about the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the global economy amid disruptions in world-wide trades and supply chains has weighed on global markets. The global financial markets are also

vulnerable to rising tensions between the U.S. and the Middle East and could result in increased market volatility and/or higher commodity prices. Our diversified business model, as well as our product and geographic diversification, continue to help mitigate the risk of global uncertainty.

Canadian benchmark rate for qualifying insured mortgages

On February 18, 2020, the Department of Finance Canada announced changes to the minimum qualifying rate for insured mortgages. As a result of a review conducted by the federal financial agencies, it was concluded that the minimum qualifying benchmark rate should be more responsive to changes in market conditions. Effective April 6, 2020, the new benchmark rate will be the weekly median 5-year fixed insured mortgage rate plus 2%, compared to the current benchmark rate of the five-year fixed rate posted by the Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs). We are currently assessing the impacts and we will continue to monitor for any further developments, including any future changes to the benchmark rate for uninsured mortgages.

Client focused reforms

The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) published amendments to National Instrument 31-103 to implement the Client Focused Reforms (Reforms), which are intended to increase the standard of conduct required for Canadian securities registrants. The Reforms enhance core requirements relating to conflicts of interest, suitability, know-your-product and know-your-client requirements, and also introduce new requirements relating to relationship disclosure, training and recordkeeping. The changes come into effect in two phases: the first phase relating to conflicts of interest and the related disclosure requirements comes into effect on December 31, 2020, and the second phase relating to the remaining requirements, on December 31, 2021. The requirements will primarily impact our Personal & Commercial Banking and Wealth Management platforms. We do not anticipate any significant challenges in meeting these requirements by the effective dates.

United States regulatory initiatives

Policymakers continue to evaluate and implement reforms to various U.S. financial regulations, which could result in either expansion of or reductions to U.S. regulatory requirements and associated changes in compliance costs. In January 2020, the Fed finalized the Control and Divestiture Proceedings rule which is intended to clarify its process for determining when an entity is under control of a bank holding company and is effective on April 1, 2020. The rule is intended to simplify and provide greater transparency for determining control of a banking organization by establishing a comprehensive framework to determine when a company controls a bank or a bank controls a company. We are currently assessing the impacts of the rule and we do not anticipate any significant challenges in meeting these rules by the effective date.

U.K. and European regulatory reform

In addition to the implications from the U.K.’s withdrawal from the EU, other forthcoming regulatory initiatives include the EU’s published regulations on Sustainability-Related Disclosures which will require financial services firms to disclose their approaches to considering environmental, social and governance factors as part of their advice and investment decision process. These requirements are effective on March 10, 2021 and we are currently assessing the impact on adoption.

For a discussion on risk factors, including our framework and activities to manage these risks and other regulatory developments which may affect our business and financial results, refer to the Risk management – Top and emerging risks and Legal and regulatory environment risk sections of our 2019 Annual Report and the Risk and Capital management sections of this Q1 2020 Report to Shareholders.

Financial performance

Overview

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

Net income of $3,509 million was up $337 million or 11% from a year ago. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.40 was up $0.25 or 12% and return on common equity (ROE) of 17.6% was up 90 bps from 16.7% last year. Our Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 12.0% was up 60 bps from a year ago.

Our results reflected strong earnings growth in Capital Markets and Personal & Commercial Banking, and solid earnings in Wealth Management and Insurance, partially offset by lower results in Investor & Treasury Services.

Capital Markets results increased primarily due to higher revenue in Global Markets and Corporate and Investment Banking, as well as lower PCL. These factors were partially offset by higher compensation on improved results and a higher effective tax rate, largely reflecting changes in earnings mix.

Personal & Commercial Banking earnings were up mainly due to average volume growth of 8% in Canadian Banking and higher balances driving higher mutual fund distribution fees, partially offset by lower spreads and an increase in technology and related costs. The prior year also included a write-down of deferred tax assets resulting from a change in the corporate tax rate in Barbados.

Wealth Management results were up primarily due to an increase in average fee-based client assets and higher transaction volumes. These factors were partially offset by higher variable compensation commensurate with revenue growth, as well as higher technology and staff-related costs. The prior year was also impacted by a favourable accounting adjustment related to Canadian Wealth Management.

Insurance results increased mainly due to new longevity reinsurance contracts, partially offset by the lower impact from reinsurance contract renegotiations.

6         Royal Bank of Canada        First Quarter 2020

Investor & Treasury Services earnings decreased primarily due to lower client deposit margins and lower revenue from our asset services business.

For further details on our business segment results and CET1 ratio, refer to the Business segment results and Capital management sections, respectively.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Net income of $3,509 million was up $303 million or 9% from the prior quarter. Diluted EPS of $2.40 was up $0.22 or 10% and ROE of 17.6% was up 140 bps. Our CET1 ratio of 12.0% was down 10 bps.

Our results reflected strong earnings growth in Capital Markets, and higher results in Investor & Treasury Services, Personal & Commercial Banking and Corporate Support, partially offset by lower earnings in Wealth Management and Insurance.

Capital Markets earnings increased primarily due to higher revenue in Global Markets and Corporate and Investment Banking. These factors were partially offset by higher compensation on improved results and a higher effective tax rate, largely reflecting changes in earnings mix.

Investor & Treasury Services earnings increased primarily due to severance and related costs associated with the repositioning of the business in the prior quarter.

Personal & Commercial Banking results were up mainly due to lower PCL and higher card service revenue.

Wealth Management earnings decreased mainly due to the gain on sale of the private debt business of BlueBay in the prior quarter.

Insurance earnings were down primarily due to the impact of lower favourable investment-related experience, new longevity reinsurance contracts and reinsurance contract renegotiations.

Corporate Support net income was $6 million in the current quarter, largely reflecting residual unallocated costs and net unfavourable tax adjustments, partially offset by asset/liability management activities. Net loss was $52 million in the prior quarter largely due to the impact of an unfavourable accounting adjustment.

(1) Commencing Q4 2019, the interest component of the valuation of certain deposits carried at FVTPL previously presented in trading revenue is presented in net interest income. Comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with this presentation.

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

Total revenue increased $1,247 million or 11% from last year, mainly due to an increase in insurance premiums, investment and fee income (insurance revenue) and higher net interest income. Higher underwriting and other advisory fees, as well as investment management and custodial fees also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange translation which decreased total revenue by $65 million.

Net interest income increased $374 million or 8%, largely due to volume growth in Canadian Banking and Wealth Management and higher trading revenue in Capital Markets, as well as higher revenue from our Investor & Treasury Services business, partially offset by lower spreads in Wealth Management and Canadian Banking. The impact associated with higher revenue from our Investor & Treasury Services business was more than offset by lower related gains on non-trading derivatives in Other revenue.

NIM was down 1 bp compared to last year, mainly due to changes in average earning asset mix with volume growth primarily in reverse repos, partially offset by higher revenue from our Investor & Treasury Services business. The impact associated with higher revenue from our Investor & Treasury Services business was more than offset by lower related gains on non-trading derivatives in Other revenue.

Insurance revenue increased $415 million or 26%, mainly reflecting the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities and higher group annuity sales, both of which are largely offset in PBCAE. Business growth in International Insurance also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by the lower impact from reinsurance contract renegotiations.

Investment management and custodial fees increased $85 million or 6%, primarily due to higher average fee-based client assets reflecting market appreciation and net sales, partially offset by a favourable accounting adjustment in Wealth Management in the prior year.

Underwriting and other advisory fees increased $282 million or 82%, largely due to higher M&A activity primarily in North America and higher debt origination largely in the U.S. Higher equity origination across all regions also contributed to the increase.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Total revenue increased $1,466 million or 13% from the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in insurance revenue, trading revenue, and underwriting and other advisory fees. Higher net interest income also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by lower other revenue.

Net interest income was up $110 million or 2%, largely due to higher trading revenue in Capital Markets, and volume growth, partially offset by lower spreads in Canadian Banking and Wealth Management.

Insurance revenue increased $841 million or 73%, mainly due to the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities, higher group annuity sales and business growth, all of which are largely offset in PBCAE. These factors were partially offset by realized investment gains in the prior quarter and lower favourable reinsurance contract renegotiations.

8        Royal Bank of Canada        First Quarter 2020

Trading revenue increased $342 million or 295%, primarily driven by higher fixed income and equity trading revenue in Capital Markets across most regions.

Underwriting and other advisory fees increased $199 million or 46%, largely due to higher M&A activity primarily in North America.

Other revenue decreased $141 million or 31%, mainly driven by the gain on sale of the private debt business of BlueBay in the prior quarter and lower net gains in our non-trading investment portfolios, partially offset by the change in the fair value of the hedges related to our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which was largely offset in Non-interest expense.

Provision for credit losses

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

Total PCL in Q1 2020 was $419 million.

PCL on loans of $421 million decreased $95 million, or 18% from the prior year, primarily due to lower provisions in Capital Markets and Wealth Management. The PCL on loans ratio of 26 bps improved 8 bps.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Total PCL decreased $80 million from the prior quarter.

PCL on loans of $421 million decreased $84 million, or 17% from the prior quarter, due to lower provisions in Personal & Commercial Banking and Wealth Management. The PCL on loans ratio improved 6 bps.

For further details on PCL, refer to Credit quality performance in the Credit risk section.

Insurance policyholder benefits, claims and acquisition expense (PBCAE)

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

PBCAE increased $389 million or 32% from a year ago, mainly due to the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities, higher group annuity sales, and business growth, primarily in International Insurance, all of which are largely offset in revenue. These factors were partially offset by the favourable impact of new longevity reinsurance contracts.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

PBCAE increased $960 million from the prior quarter, mainly due to the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities, higher group annuity sales and business growth, all of which are largely offset in revenue. The impact of longevity reinsurance contracts also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by lower favourable investment-related experience.

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

Non-interest expense increased $466 million or 8%, largely due to higher variable compensation commensurate with revenue growth and an increase in technology and related costs, including digital initiatives. The change in the fair value of our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which was largely offset in other revenue, and higher staff-related costs also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange translation.

Our efficiency ratio of 49.7% decreased 130 bps from 51.0% last year. Excluding the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities, our efficiency ratio of 51.6% decreased 50 bps from 52.1% last year.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Non-interest expense increased $59 million or 1%, mainly due to higher variable compensation on improved results and an increase in staff-related costs. The change in the fair value of our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which was largely offset in revenue, also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by severance and related costs associated with the repositioning of our Investor & Treasury Services business in the prior quarter, the impact of an unfavourable accounting adjustment in Corporate Support in the prior quarter and the timing of professional fees.

Our efficiency ratio of 49.7% decreased 590 bps from 55.6% last quarter. Excluding the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities, our efficiency ratio of 51.6% decreased 380 bps from 55.4% last quarter.

Efficiency ratio excluding the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities is a non-GAAP measure. For further details, including a reconciliation, refer to the Key performance and non-GAAP measures section.

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

Income tax expense increased $150 million or 20% from last year, primarily due to higher income before income taxes.

The effective income tax rate of 20.7% increased 120 bps, mainly due to a decrease in income from lower tax rate jurisdictions in the current quarter and favourable tax adjustments in the prior year. These factors were partially offset by a write-down of deferred tax assets resulting from a change in the corporate tax rate in Barbados in the prior year.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Income tax expense increased $224 million or 32% from last quarter, primarily due to higher income before income taxes in the current quarter and higher favourable tax adjustments in the prior quarter.

The effective income tax rate of 20.7% increased 290 bps, primarily due to higher favourable tax adjustments in the prior quarter and a decrease in income from lower tax rate jurisdictions in the current quarter.

Business segment results

How we measure and report our business segments

The key methodologies and assumptions used in our management reporting framework are periodically reviewed by management to ensure they remain valid. They remain unchanged from October 31, 2019.

For further details on our key methodologies and assumptions used in our management reporting framework, refer to the How we measure and report our business segments section of our 2019 Annual Report.

Key performance and non-GAAP measures

Performance measures

Return on common equity

We measure and evaluate the performance of our consolidated operations and each business segment using a number of financial metrics, such as net income and ROE. We use ROE, at both the consolidated and business segment levels, as a measure of return on total capital invested in our business. Management views the business segment ROE measure as a useful measure for supporting investment and resource allocation decisions because it adjusts for certain items that may affect comparability between business segments and certain competitors. ROE does not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other financial institutions. For further details, refer to the Key performance and non-GAAP measures section of our 2019 Annual Report.

The following table provides a summary of our ROE calculations:

Non-GAAP measures

We believe that certain non-GAAP measures described below are more reflective of our ongoing operating results and provide readers with a better understanding of management’s perspective on our performance. These measures enhance the

comparability of our financial performance for the three months ended January 31, 2020 with the corresponding period in the prior year and the three months ended October 31, 2019. Non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other financial institutions.

The following discussion describes the non-GAAP measures we use in evaluating our operating results.

Efficiency ratio excluding the change in fair value of investments in Insurance

Our efficiency ratio is impacted by the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities, which is reported in revenue and largely offset in PBCAE.

The following table provides calculations of our consolidated efficiency ratio excluding the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities:

Financial performance

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

Net income increased $115 million or 7% from last year, mainly due to average volume growth of 8% in Canadian Banking and higher mutual fund distribution fees, partially offset by lower spreads and an increase in technology and related costs. The prior year also included a write-down of deferred tax assets resulting from a change in the corporate tax rate in Barbados.

Total revenue increased $192 million or 4%.

Canadian Banking revenue increased $198 million or 5% compared to last year, largely reflecting average volume growth of 7% in loans and 9% in deposits, higher balances driving higher mutual fund distribution fees and higher service charges. These factors were partially offset by lower spreads.

Royal Bank of Canada         First Quarter 2020         11

Caribbean & U.S. Banking revenue decreased $6 million or 2% compared to last year.

Net interest margin was down 7 bps, mainly due to the impact of competitive pricing pressures and changes in product mix.

PCL decreased $6 million or 2%, largely due to lower PCL on impaired assets, resulting in a decrease of 4 bps in the impaired loans ratio. This was partially offset by higher PCL on performing assets. For further details, refer to Credit quality performance in the Credit risk section.

Non-interest expense increased $69 million or 4%, primarily attributable to an increase in technology and related costs, including digital initiatives, higher staff-related costs and higher marketing costs.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Net income increased $68 million or 4% from last quarter, mainly due to lower PCL and higher card service revenue.

Total revenue increased $42 million or 1% from last quarter, mainly driven by average volume growth of 2% in Canadian Banking and higher card service revenue, partially offset by lower spreads.

Net interest margin was down 5 bps, largely due to the impact of competitive pricing pressures.

PCL decreased $45 million or 12%, largely due to lower PCL on impaired assets, resulting in a decrease of 5 bps in the impaired loans ratio. This was partially offset by higher PCL on performing assets. For further details, refer to Credit quality performance in the Credit risk section.

Non-interest expense decreased $23 million or 1%, largely reflecting the timing of professional fees and lower marketing costs, partially offset by higher staff-related costs.

Financial performance

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

Net income increased $26 million or 4%, primarily due to an increase in average fee-based client assets and higher transaction volumes. These factors were partially offset by higher variable compensation commensurate with revenue growth, as well as higher technology and staff-related costs. The prior year was also impacted by a favourable accounting adjustment related to Canadian Wealth Management.

Total revenue increased $218 million or 7%.

Canadian Wealth Management revenue increased $1 million, primarily due to higher average fee-based client assets reflecting market appreciation and net sales, largely offset by a favourable accounting adjustment in the prior year.

U.S. Wealth Management (including City National) revenue increased $153 million or 10%. In U.S. dollars, revenue increased $131 million or 12%, primarily due to higher average fee-based client assets reflecting market appreciation and net sales, the change in the fair value of the hedges related to our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which was largely offset in non-interest expense and higher transaction volumes. Higher net interest income driven by average loan growth of 17%, largely offset by lower spreads, also contributed to the increase.

Global Asset Management revenue increased $51 million or 9%, largely due to higher average fee-based assets reflecting market appreciation and net sales.

International Wealth Management revenue increased $13 million or 14%, largely due to higher transaction volumes and increase in net interest income driven by higher spreads.

PCL decreased $28 million primarily in U.S. Wealth Management (including City National), reflecting lower PCL on performing assets due to unfavourable macroeconomic factors in the prior year. Lower PCL on impaired assets also contributed to the decrease, resulting in an improvement of 8 bps in the impaired loans ratio. For further details, refer to Credit quality performance in the Credit risk section.

Non-interest expense increased $206 million or 10%, primarily due to higher variable compensation commensurate with revenue growth. The change in the fair value of our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which was largely offset in revenue, higher staff-related costs in support of business growth and higher technology and related costs also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange translation.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Net income decreased $106 million or 15%, mainly due to the gain on sale of the private debt business of BlueBay in the prior quarter.

Total revenue decreased $21 million or 1%, as the change in the fair value of the hedges related to our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which was largely offset in non-interest expense, higher average fee-based client assets reflecting market appreciation and net sales, and an increase in transaction volumes were more than offset by the gain on sale of the private debt business of BlueBay in the prior quarter.

PCL decreased $36 million, reflecting lower provisions on impaired assets in U.S. Wealth Management (including City National) driving a decrease of 22 bps in the impaired loans ratio. For further details, refer to Credit quality performance in the Credit risk section.

Non-interest expense increased $108 million or 5%, primarily due to higher staff-related costs, and the change in the fair value of our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which was largely offset in revenue.

(1) Investment income can experience volatility arising from fluctuation of assets designated as FVTPL. The investments which support actuarial liabilities are predominantly fixed income assets designated as FVTPL. Consequently, changes in the fair values of these assets are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income and are largely offset by changes in the fair value of the actuarial liabilities, the impact of which is reflected in Insurance policyholder benefits, claims and acquisition expense.

(2) Premiums and deposits include premiums on risk-based insurance and annuity products, and individual and group segregated fund deposits, consistent with insurance industry practices.

Financial performance

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

Net income increased $15 million or 9% from a year ago, mainly due to new longevity reinsurance contracts, partially offset by the lower impact from reinsurance contract renegotiations.

Total revenue increased $415 million or 26%.

Canadian Insurance revenue increased $344 million or 33%, primarily due to the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities and higher group annuity sales, both of which are largely offset in PBCAE as indicated below.

International Insurance revenue increased $71 million or 13%, mainly due to business growth, primarily in longevity reinsurance, which is largely offset in PBCAE as indicated below. This factor was, partially offset by the lower impact from reinsurance contract renegotiations.

PBCAE increased $389 million or 32%, mainly due to the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities, higher group annuity sales, and business growth, primarily in International Insurance, partially offset by the favourable impact of new longevity reinsurance contracts.

Non-interest expense decreased $1 million or 1%.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Net income decreased $101 million or 36%, primarily due to the impact of lower favourable investment-related experience, new longevity reinsurance contracts and reinsurance contract renegotiations.

Total revenue increased $841 million or 73%, mainly due to the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities, higher group annuity sales and business growth, all of which are largely offset in PBCAE as indicated below. These factors were partially offset by realized investment gains in the prior quarter and lower favourable reinsurance contract renegotiations.

PBCAE increased $960 million, mainly due to the change in fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities and higher group annuity sales. Business growth and the impact of new longevity reinsurance contracts also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by lower favourable investment-related experience.

Non-interest expense remained consistent with prior quarter.

Financial performance

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

Net income decreased $18 million or 11%, primarily due to lower client deposit margins and lower revenue from our asset services business.

Total revenue decreased $34 million or 5%, mainly due to lower client deposit revenue largely driven by margin compression reflecting spread tightening and the impact of foreign exchange translation. Lower revenue from our asset services business due to reduced client activity also contributed to the decrease.

Non-interest expense decreased $16 million or 4%, primarily driven by the impact of foreign exchange translation and lower staff related costs largely benefitting from investment in technology initiatives.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Net income increased $98 million, primarily due to severance and related costs associated with the repositioning of the business in the prior quarter.

Total revenue increased $31 million or 5%, mainly due to higher funding and liquidity revenue driven by money market opportunities in the current quarter.

Non-interest expense decreased $106 million or 21%, largely driven by severance and related costs associated with the repositioning of the business in the prior quarter, partially offset by annual regulatory costs in the current quarter.

Financial performance

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

Net income increased $229 million or 35%, primarily due to higher revenue in Global Markets and Corporate and Investment Banking, as well as lower PCL. These factors were partially offset by higher compensation on improved results and a higher effective tax rate, largely reflecting changes in earnings mix.

Total revenue increased $450 million or 21%.

Corporate and Investment Banking revenue increased $214 million or 23%, mainly due to higher M&A activity primarily in North America and higher debt origination largely in the U.S. as the prior year was impacted by challenging market conditions.

Global Markets revenue increased $223 million or 18%, mainly driven by higher fixed income trading revenue across all regions due to more favourable market conditions in the current quarter and increased client activity, partially offset by lower equity trading revenue primarily in the U.S.

Other revenue increased $13 million largely reflecting lower residual funding costs.

PCL decreased $61 million or 44%, largely due to lower PCL on impaired assets. The PCL on impaired loans ratio decreased 17 bps, mainly due to lower provisions taken in the current year. Lower PCL on performing assets also contributed to the decrease. For further details, refer to Credit quality performance in the Credit risk section.

Non-interest expense increased $205 million or 17%, mainly due to higher compensation on improved results.

Net income increased $298 million or 51%, primarily due to higher revenue in Global Markets and Corporate and Investment Banking. These factors were partially offset by higher compensation on improved results and a higher effective tax rate, largely reflecting changes in earnings mix.

Total revenue increased $561 million or 28%, mainly due to higher fixed income trading revenue across most regions and higher M&A activity primarily in North America. Higher equity trading revenue across most regions also contributed to the increase.

PCL increased $1 million and the PCL on impaired loans ratio remained flat.

Non-interest expense increased $127 million or 10%, mainly due to higher compensation on improved results.

(1) Teb adjusted.

Due to the nature of activities and consolidation adjustments reported in this segment, we believe that a comparative period analysis is not relevant. The following identifies material items affecting the reported results in each period.

Total revenue and income taxes (recoveries) in each period in Corporate Support include the deduction of the teb adjustments related to the gross-up of income from Canadian taxable corporate dividends and the U.S. tax credit investment business recorded in Capital Markets. The amount deducted from revenue was offset by an equivalent increase in income taxes (recoveries).

The teb amount for the three months ended January 31, 2020 was $128 million, as compared to $112 million in the prior quarter and $107 million last year.

The following identifies the material items, other than the teb impacts noted previously, affecting the reported results in each period.

Q1 2020

Net loss was $6 million, largely reflecting residual unallocated costs and net unfavourable tax adjustments, partially offset by asset/liability management activities.

Q4 2019

Net loss was $52 million, largely due to the impact of an unfavourable accounting adjustment.

Q1 2019

Net income was $24 million, largely reflecting net favourable tax adjustments.

Quarterly results and trend analysis

Our quarterly results are impacted by a number of trends and recurring factors, which include seasonality of certain businesses, general economic and market conditions, and fluctuations in the Canadian dollar relative to other currencies.

Royal Bank of Canada         First Quarter 2020         17

Seasonality

Seasonal factors may impact our results in certain quarters. The first quarter has historically been stronger for our Capital Markets businesses. The second quarter has fewer days than the other quarters, which generally results in a decrease in net interest income and certain expense items. The third and fourth quarters include the summer months which results in lower client activity and may negatively impact the results of our Capital Markets brokerage business.

Trend analysis

Earnings have generally trended upward over the period. However, results in the first quarter of 2019 were impacted by challenging market conditions throughout the earlier part of the quarter. Quarterly earnings are also affected by the impact of foreign exchange translation.

Personal & Commercial Banking revenue has benefitted from solid volume growth since the beginning of the period. Higher spreads throughout 2018 and the early half of 2019 reflecting higher interest rates have been partially offset by the ongoing impact of competitive pricing pressures. Overall, however, market interest rates have moderated in the latter part of the period.

Wealth Management revenue has generally trended upwards primarily due to growth in average fee-based client assets which benefitted from market appreciation and net sales. Net interest income has also increased throughout the majority of the period largely driven by volume growth across the period and the impact of higher interest rates throughout the earlier part of the period. The impact of the U.S. Fed rate cuts resulted in lower spreads throughout the latter part of the period. A gain on the sale of the private debt business of BlueBay contributed to the increase in the fourth quarter of 2019. The change in the fair value of the hedges related to our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which is largely offset in Non-interest expense, also contributed to fluctuations in revenue over the period.

Insurance revenue fluctuated over the period, primarily due to the impact of changes in the fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities. Revenue has benefitted from business growth in Canadian and International Insurance over the majority of the period, with the exception of lower group annuity sales impacting the fourth quarter of 2019.

Investor & Treasury Services revenue has been impacted by fluctuations in market conditions and client activity across the period. The second quarter of 2018 trended higher due to generally higher market volatility, increased client activity and higher client deposit margins. Revenue from our funding and liquidity business was impacted by reduced money market opportunities in the first quarter of 2019. During the first half of 2019 our asset services business was impacted by challenging market conditions. The latter half of the period was impacted by lower client activity and lower client deposit margins.

Capital Markets revenue is influenced, to a large extent, by market conditions that impact client activity in our Corporate and Investment Banking and Global Markets businesses, with the first quarter results generally stronger than the remaining quarters. The second quarter of 2018 experienced lower equity originations driven by lower market activity, decreased fixed income trading across all regions, and lower equity trading revenue in the U.S. The decline experienced in the fourth quarter of 2018 largely resulted from lower fixed income trading revenue. Client activity in 2019 was impacted by challenging market conditions resulting in lower investment banking fee revenues experienced across the industry. The impact of challenging market conditions also resulted in lower equity trading revenue in the second half of 2019. The first quarter of 2020 saw more favourable market conditions and increased client activity resulting in higher fixed income trading revenue and M&A activity.

PCL on performing assets has fluctuated over the period as it is impacted by volume growth, changes in credit quality, model changes and macroeconomic conditions. PCL on impaired assets saw lower provisions and higher recoveries across a few sectors for the majority of 2018, although the fourth quarter was impacted by the restructuring of portfolios in Barbados. After relatively benign credit conditions in 2018, we returned to a more normalized level of credit losses towards the end of 2019, though the first quarter of 2020 saw lower provisions on impaired loans in Personal & Commercial Banking and Wealth Management.

PBCAE has fluctuated quarterly as it includes the changes to the fair value of investments backing our policyholder liabilities and business growth, including the impact of group annuity sales, both of which are largely offset in Revenue. PBCAE has also fluctuated due to investment-related experience and claims costs over the period. Since late 2018, PBCAE has been positively impacted by favourable reinsurance contract renegotiations. Actuarial adjustments, which generally occur in the fourth quarter of each year, also impact PBCAE results.

While we continue to focus on efficiency management activities, Non-interest expense trended upwards over the period. Growth mainly reflects higher costs in support of business growth and our ongoing investments in technology and related costs, including digital initiatives, and higher staff-related costs, including variable compensation. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2019 reflected severance and related costs associated with repositioning of our Investor & Treasury Services business.

Our effective income tax rate has fluctuated over the period, mostly due to various levels of tax adjustments and changes in earnings mix. The first quarter of 2019 included a write-down of deferred tax assets resulting from a change in the corporate tax rate in Barbados.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Total assets increased $47 billion or 3% from last quarter. Foreign exchange translation increased total assets by $6 billion.

Cash and due from banks was up $8 billion or 30%, primarily due to higher deposits with central banks, reflecting our short-term cash and liquidity management activities.

Interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased $7 billion or 18%, due to lower deposits with central banks, reflecting our cash management and liquidity activities.

Securities, net of applicable allowance, were up $18 billion or 7%, largely due to higher government debt and corporate debt securities, primarily driven by our liquidity management activities. Higher equity trading securities, reflecting favourable market conditions, also contributed to the increase.

Assets purchased under reverse repurchase agreements (reverse repos) and securities borrowed increased $17 billion or 6%, mainly attributable to increased client activities and lower financial netting, partially offset by our liquidity management activities.

Loans (net of Allowance for loan losses) were up $11 billion or 2%, primarily due to volume growth, driven by higher residential mortgages and wholesale loans.

Derivative assets were down $8 billion or 7%, mainly attributable to lower fair values on foreign exchange contracts partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange translation.

Other assets were up $8 billion or 9%, largely due to an increase in premises and equipment as a result of adopting IFRS 16. Higher customers’ liability under acceptances, driven by client demand, also contributed to the increase.

Total liabilities increased $47 billion or 3%. Foreign exchange translation increased total liabilities by $6 billion.

Deposits increased $16 billion or 2%, due to an increase in retail deposits, driven by client activities. Higher issuances of fixed term notes driven by funding requirements also contributed to the increase.

Derivative liabilities were down $4 billion or 4%, primarily attributable to lower fair values on foreign exchange contracts, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange translation and higher fair values on commodity derivative contracts.

Other liabilities increased $35 billion or 10%, mainly due to higher obligations related to repurchase agreements due to increased client activity and lower financial netting. Higher lease liabilities as a result of adopting IFRS 16 also contributed to the increase.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

In the normal course of business, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, for accounting purposes, are not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Off-balance sheet transactions are generally undertaken for risk, capital and funding management purposes which benefit us and our clients. These include transactions with structured entities and may also include the issuance of guarantees. These transactions give rise to, among other risks, varying degrees of market, credit,

Royal Bank of Canada         First Quarter 2020         19

and liquidity and funding risk, which are discussed in the Risk management section of this Q1 2020 Report to Shareholders. Our significant off-balance sheet transactions include those described on pages 45 to 47 of our 2019 Annual Report.

Risk management

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with an obligor’s potential inability or unwillingness to fulfill its contractual obligations on a timely basis. Credit risk may arise directly from the risk of default of a primary obligor, indirectly from a secondary obligor, through off-balance sheet exposures, contingent credit risk and/or transactional risk.

Our Credit Risk Framework (CRF) and supporting credit policies are designed to clearly define roles and responsibilities, acceptable practices, limits and key controls. There have been no material changes to our CRF as described in our 2019 Annual Report.

Credit risk exposure by portfolio, sector and geography

The following table presents our credit risk exposures under the Basel regulatory defined classes and reflects exposures at default (EAD). The classification of our sectors aligns with our view of credit risk by industry.

20         Royal Bank of Canada        First Quarter 2020

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Total credit risk exposure increased $47 billion or 3% from the prior quarter, largely due to an increase in securities and volume growth in loans and acceptances.

Retail exposure increased $14 billion or 2%, driven by volume growth in the residential secured portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the qualifying revolving portfolio.

Wholesale exposure increased $33 billion or 4%, primarily due to an increase in securities, higher repo-style transactions and derivatives.

The geographic mix of our credit risk exposure remained largely consistent to the prior quarter. Our exposure in Canada, the U.S., Europe and Other International was 65%, 21%, 10% and 4%, respectively (October 31, 2019 – 66%, 21%, 9% and 4%, respectively).

(3) Securities include $8.7 billion of trading securities (October 31, 2019 – $9.4 billion), $27.6 billion of deposits (October 31, 2019 – $22.5 billion), and $13.7 billion of debt securities carried at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) (October 31, 2019 – $12.9 billion).

(4) Excludes $2.5 billion (October 31, 2019 – $1.5 billion) of exposures to supranational agencies, predominantly in Luxembourg.

(5) Reflects $2.6 billion of mitigation through credit default swaps, which are largely used to hedge single name exposures and market risk (October 31, 2019 – $1.0 billion).

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Net credit risk exposure to Europe increased $6.5 billion from last quarter, mainly driven by higher deposits with central banks, largely in the United Kingdom and France.

Our European corporate loan book is managed on a global basis with underwriting standards reflecting the same approach to the use of our balance sheet as we have applied in both Canada and the U.S. PCL on loans during the quarter was $23 million. The gross impaired loans ratio of this loan book was 61 bps, up 17 bps from last quarter, mainly in the oil & gas sector.

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

Total PCL was $419 million. PCL on loans of $421 million decreased $95 million, or 18% from the prior year, primarily due to lower provisions in Capital Markets and Wealth Management. The PCL on loans ratio of 26 bps decreased 8 bps.

PCL on performing loans of $83 million decreased $10 million, reflecting lower provisions in Capital Markets and Wealth Management, largely offset by higher provisions in Personal & Commercial Banking.

PCL on impaired loans of $338 million decreased $85 million, due to lower provisions in Capital Markets, Personal & Commercial Banking and Wealth Management.

PCL on loans in Personal & Commercial Banking decreased $4 million or 1%, reflecting lower provisions on impaired loans in our Caribbean Banking and Canadian Banking commercial portfolios, partially offset by higher provisions on impaired loans in our Canadian Banking retail portfolios. This was mainly offset by higher provisions on performing loans, largely due to unfavourable changes in credit quality, mainly in our Canadian Banking portfolios.

PCL on loans in Wealth Management decreased $28 million, primarily in U.S. Wealth Management (including City National), reflecting lower provisions on performing loans due to unfavourable macroeconomic factors in the prior year. Lower provisions on impaired loans also contributed to the decrease, mainly due to a provision taken in the consumer discretionary sector in the prior year and higher recoveries in the current quarter.

PCL on loans in Capital Markets decreased $63 million or 44%, largely driven by lower provisions on impaired loans mainly due to a provision taken in the utilities sector in the prior year, partially offset by provisions on impaired loans taken in

the current year, mainly in the oil & gas sector. Lower provisions on performing loans also contributed to the decrease, as the current year reflected a lower impact from unfavourable macroeconomic factors compared to the prior year.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

PCL on loans of $421 million decreased $84 million, or 17% from the prior quarter, due to lower provisions in Personal & Commercial Banking and Wealth Management. The PCL on loans ratio decreased 6 bps.

PCL on performing loans of $83 million increased $12 million, reflecting higher provisions in Personal & Commercial Banking.

PCL on impaired loans of $338 million decreased $96 million, reflecting lower provisions in Personal & Commercial Banking and Wealth Management.

PCL on loans in Personal & Commercial Banking decreased $50 million or 13%, largely reflecting lower provisions on impaired loans in our Canadian Banking commercial and Caribbean Banking portfolios, partially offset by higher provisions on performing loans in Canadian Banking. The increase in provisions on performing loans in Canadian Banking was driven by unfavourable changes in macroeconomic factors and the impact of a favourable model update in the prior quarter, partially offset by lower unfavourable changes in credit quality.

PCL on loans in Wealth Management decreased $36 million, reflecting lower provisions on impaired loans in U.S. Wealth Management (including City National), mainly due to provisions taken in the consumer discretionary sector in the prior quarter and higher recoveries in the current quarter.

Market risk

Market risk is defined to be the impact of market prices upon our financial condition. This includes potential gains or losses due to changes in market determined variables such as interest rates, credit spreads, equity prices, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and implied volatilities. There have been no material changes to our Market Risk Framework from the framework described in our 2019 Annual Report. We continue to manage the controls and governance procedures that ensure that our market risk exposure is consistent with risk appetite constraints set by the Board of Directors. These controls include limits on probabilistic measures of potential loss in trading positions, such as Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Stressed Value-at-Risk (SVaR).

Market risk controls are also in place to manage structural interest rate risk (SIRR) arising from traditional banking products. Factors contributing to SIRR include the mismatch between future asset and liability repricing dates, relative changes in asset and liability rates, and product features that could affect the expected timing of cash flows, such as options to pre-pay loans or redeem term deposits prior to contractual maturity. To monitor and control SIRR, we assess two primary financial metrics, Net Interest Income (NII) risk and Economic Value of Equity (EVE) risk, under a range of market shocks and scenarios. For further details of our approach to the management of market risk, refer to the Market risk section of our 2019 Annual Report. There has been no material change to the SIRR measurement methodology, controls, or limits from those described in our 2019 Annual Report.

Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019

Average market risk VaR of $25 million decreased $9 million and average SVaR of $84 million decreased $39 million from the prior year, mainly due to the impact of lower overall market volatility and a reduction in average inventory levels in our fixed income portfolios in the current quarter.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Average market risk VaR of $25 million decreased $4 million and average SVaR of $84 million decreased $16 million from the prior quarter, mainly driven by lower overall market volatility and lower average inventory levels in our fixed income portfolios in the current quarter.

Royal Bank of Canada        First Quarter 2020        27

The following chart displays a bar graph of our daily trading profit and loss and a line graph of our daily market risk VaR. We incurred no net trading losses in the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 1 day of losses totaling $0.4 million in the three months ended October 31, 2019, which did not exceed VaR on that day.

Market risk measures for assets and liabilities of RBC Insurance^®

We offer a range of insurance products to clients and hold investments to meet the future obligations to policyholders. The investments which support actuarial liabilities are predominantly fixed income assets designated as FVTPL. Consequently, changes in the fair values of these assets are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income and are largely offset by changes in the fair value of the actuarial liabilities, the impact of which is reflected in Insurance policyholder benefits, claims and acquisition expense. As at January 31, 2020, we held assets in support of $12.3 billion liabilities with respect to insurance obligations (October 31, 2019 – $11.4 billion).

Market risk measures – Structural Interest Rate Sensitivities

The following table shows the potential before-tax impact of an immediate and sustained 100 bps increase or decrease

in interest rates on projected 12-month NII and EVE for our structural balance sheet, assuming no subsequent hedging. Rate

floors are applied within the declining rates scenarios, with floor levels set based on rate changes experienced globally. Interest rate risk measures are based upon interest rate exposures at a specific time and continuously change as a result of business activities and management actions.

(1) Represents the 12-month NII exposure to an instantaneous and sustained shift in interest rates.

(2) Represents the impact on the SIRR portfolios held in our City National and U.S. banking operations.

As at January 31, 2020, an immediate and sustained -100 bps shock would have had a negative impact to our NII of $627 million, down from $637 million last quarter. An immediate and sustained +100 bps shock at the end of January 31, 2020 would have had a negative impact to the bank’s EVE of $1,564 million, up from $1,356 million reported last quarter. The quarter-over-quarter change in NII sensitivity was stable, while the quarter-over-quarter change in EVE sensitivity is mainly attributed to growth in the structural balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2020, SIRR NII and EVE risks remained well within approved limits.

Market risk measures for other material non-trading portfolios

Investment securities carried at FVOCI

We held $77.5 billion of investment securities carried at FVOCI as at January 31, 2020, compared to $57.7 billion in the prior quarter. We hold debt securities carried at FVOCI primarily as investments, as well as to manage liquidity risk and hedge interest rate risk in our non-trading banking balance sheet. As at January 31, 2020, our portfolio of investment securities carried at FVOCI is interest rate sensitive and would impact OCI by a pre-tax change in value of $8 million as measured by the change in the value of the securities for a one basis point parallel increase in yields. The portfolio also exposes us to credit spread risk of a pre-tax change in value of $22 million, as measured by the change in value for a one basis point widening of

credit spreads. The value of the investment securities carried at FVOCI included in our SIRR measure as at January 31, 2020 was $11.5 billion. Our investment securities carried at FVOCI also include equity exposures of $0.5 billion as at January 31, 2020, compared to $0.4 billion in the prior quarter.

Non-trading foreign exchange rate risk

Foreign exchange rate risk is the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to changes in foreign currency rates. Our revenue, expenses and income denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are subject to fluctuations as a result of changes in the value of the average Canadian dollar relative to the average value of those currencies. Our most significant exposure is to the U.S. dollar, due to our operations in the U.S. and other activities conducted in U.S. dollars. Other significant exposures are to the British pound and the Euro, due to our activities conducted internationally in these currencies. A strengthening or weakening of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar, British pound and the Euro could reduce or increase, as applicable, the translated value of our foreign currency denominated revenue, expenses and earnings and could have a significant effect on the results of our operations. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate risk arising from our investments in foreign operations. For unhedged equity investments, when the Canadian dollar appreciates against other currencies, the unrealized translation losses on net foreign investments decreases our shareholders’ equity through the other components of equity and decreases the translated value of the Risk-weighted Assets (RWA) of the foreign currency-denominated asset. The reverse is true when the Canadian dollar depreciates against other currencies. Consequently, we consider these impacts in selecting an appropriate level of our investments in foreign operations to be hedged.

Derivatives related to non-trading activity

Derivatives are also used to hedge market risk exposure unrelated to our trading activity. Hedge accounting is elected where applicable. These derivatives are included in our SIRR measure and other internal non-trading market risk measures. We use interest rate swaps to manage our SIRR, funding and investment activities. Interest rate swaps are also used to hedge changes in the fair value of certain fixed-rate instruments. We also use foreign exchange derivatives to manage our exposure to equity investments in subsidiaries that are denominated in foreign currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar, British Pound, and Euro.

For further details on the application of hedge accounting and the use of derivatives for hedging activities, refer to Notes 2 and 8 of our 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and funding risk

Liquidity and funding risk (liquidity risk) is the risk that we may be unable to generate sufficient cash or its equivalents in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet our commitments as they come due. Liquidity risk arises from mismatches in the timing and value of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet cash flows.

Our Liquidity Risk Management Framework (LRMF) is designed to ensure that we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy current and prospective commitments in both normal and stressed conditions. There have been no material changes to our LRMF as described in our 2019 Annual Report.

We continue to maintain liquidity and funding that is appropriate for the execution of our strategy. Liquidity risk remains well within our risk appetite.

On January 1, 2020, the OSFI regulatory minimum for the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) of 100% became effective, in accordance with the revised LAR guidelines. The NSFR is determined based on the liquidity characteristics and maturity profile of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet exposures and is intended to reduce structural funding risk by requiring banks to maintain a surplus of available stable funding over the required stable funding. We do not anticipate any challenges in meeting this requirement. The requirement to disclose consolidated NSFR and its major components will become effective for Canadian D-SIBs on January 31, 2021.

Liquidity reserve

Our liquidity reserve consists of available unencumbered liquid assets as well as uncommitted and undrawn central bank borrowing facilities that could be accessed under extraordinary circumstances subject to satisfying certain preconditions as set by various Central Banks (e.g., BoC, the Fed, Bank of England, and Bank of France).

To varying degrees, unencumbered liquid assets represent a ready source of funding. Unencumbered assets are the difference between total and encumbered assets from both on- and off-balance sheet sources. Encumbered assets, in turn, are not considered a source of liquidity in measures of liquidity risk.

Royal Bank of Canada         First Quarter 2020         31

Although unused wholesale funding capacity, which is regularly assessed, could be another potential source of liquidity to mitigate stressed conditions, it is excluded in the determination of the liquidity reserve.

(1) Includes liquid securities issued by provincial governments and U.S. government-sponsored entities working under U.S. Federal government’s conservatorship (e.g., Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation).

(2) Includes loans that qualify as eligible collateral for the discount window facility available to us at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY). Amounts are face value and would be subject to collateral margin requirements applied by the FRBNY to determine collateral value/borrowing capacity. Access to the discount window borrowing program is conditional on meeting requirements set by the FRBNY and borrowings are typically expected to be infrequent and due to uncommon occurrences requiring temporary accommodation.

(3) Represents our unencumbered Canadian dollar non-mortgage loan book (at face value) that could, subject to satisfying conditions precedent to borrowing and application of prescribed collateral margin requirements, be pledged to the BoC for advances under its Emergency Lending Assistance (ELA) program. ELA is not considered a source of available liquidity in our normal liquidity risk profile but could in extraordinary circumstances, where normal market liquidity is seriously impaired, allow us and other banks to monetize assets eligible as collateral to meet requirements and mitigate further market liquidity disruption. The balance also includes our unencumbered mortgage loans that qualify as eligible collateral at Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).

(4) Encumbered liquid assets amount represents cash collateral and margin deposit amounts pledged related to over-the-counter (OTC) and exchange-traded derivative transactions.

The liquidity reserve is typically most affected by routine flows of client banking activity where liquid asset portfolios adjust to the change in cash balances, and additionally from capital markets activities where business strategies and client flows may also affect the addition or subtraction of liquid assets in the overall calculation of the liquidity reserve. Corporate Treasury also affects liquidity reserves through the management of funding issuances where reserves absorb timing mismatches between debt issuances and deployment into business activities.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

Total liquid assets increased $37 billion or 4%, primarily due to increase in on-balance sheet securities and securities received as collateral under reverse repurchase agreements and collateral swap transactions. However, the increase in collateral received was offset with a corresponding increase in collateral pledged under encumbered liquid assets due to repurchase transactions and collateral swap transactions.

Asset encumbrance

The table below provides a summary of our on- and off-balance sheet amounts for cash, securities and other assets, distinguishing between those that are encumbered or available for sale or use as collateral in secured funding transactions. Other assets, such as mortgages and credit card receivables, can also be monetized, albeit over longer timeframes than those required for marketable securities. As at January 31, 2020, our unencumbered assets available as collateral comprised 28% of total assets (October 31, 2019 – 29%).

(1) Includes assets restricted from use to generate secured funding due to legal or other constraints.

(2) Includes loans that could be used to collateralize central bank advances. Our unencumbered Canadian dollar non-mortgage loan book (at face value) could, subject to satisfying conditions for borrowing and application of prescribed collateral margin requirements, be pledged to the BoC for advances under its ELA program. It also includes our unencumbered mortgage loans that qualify as eligible collateral at FHLB. We also lodge loans that qualify as eligible collateral for the discount window facility available to us at the FRBNY. ELA and other central bank facilities are not considered sources of available liquidity in our normal liquidity risk profile. However, banks could monetize assets meeting collateral criteria during periods of extraordinary and severe disruption to market-wide liquidity.

(3) Other unencumbered assets are not subject to any restrictions on their use to secure funding or as collateral but would not be considered readily available since they may not be acceptable at central banks or for other lending programs.

(4) Includes bank-owned liquid assets and securities received as collateral from off-balance sheet securities financing, derivative transactions, and margin lending. Includes $23.5 billion (October 31, 2019 – $22.8 billion) of collateral received through reverse repurchase transactions that cannot be rehypothecated in its current legal form.

(5) The Pledged as collateral amount represents cash collateral and margin deposit amounts pledged related to OTC and exchange-traded derivative transactions.

Funding

Funding strategy

Core funding, comprising capital, longer-term wholesale liabilities and a diversified pool of personal and, to a lesser extent, commercial and institutional deposits, is the foundation of our structural liquidity position.

Deposit and funding profile

As at January 31, 2020, relationship-based deposits, which are the primary source of funding for retail loans and mortgages, were $601 billion or 50% of our total funding (October 31, 2019 – $594 billion or 51%). The remaining portion is comprised of short- and long-term wholesale funding.

Funding for highly liquid assets consists primarily of short-term wholesale funding that reflects the monetization period of those assets. Long-term wholesale funding is used mostly to fund less liquid wholesale assets and to support liquidity asset buffers.

On April 18, 2018, the Department of Finance published bail-in regulations under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) Act and the Bank Act, which became effective September 23, 2018. Senior long-term debt issued by the bank on or after September 23, 2018, that has an original term greater than 400 days and is marketable, subject to certain exceptions, is subject to the Canadian Bank Recapitalization (Bail-in) regime. Under the Bail-in regime, in circumstances when the Superintendent of Financial Institutions has determined that a bank may no longer be viable, the Governor in Council may, upon a recommendation of the Minister of Finance that he or she is of the opinion that it is in the public interest to do so, grant an order directing the CDIC to convert all or a portion of certain shares and liabilities of that bank into common shares. As at January 31, 2020, the notional value of issued and outstanding long-term debt subject to conversion under the Bail-in regime was $26,684 million (October 31, 2019 – $20,320 million).

For further details on our wholesale funding, refer to the Composition of wholesale funding tables below.

Long-term debt issuance

Our wholesale funding activities are well-diversified by geography, investor segment, instrument, currency, structure and maturity. We maintain an ongoing presence in different funding markets, which allows us to continuously monitor market developments and trends, identify opportunities and risks, and take appropriate and timely actions. We operate long-term debt issuance registered programs. The following table summarizes these programs with their authorized limits by geography.

Royal Bank of Canada         First Quarter 2020         33

Programs by geography

Canada	U.S.	Europe/Asia
•  Canadian Shelf Program – $25 billion	•  U.S. Shelf Program – US$40 billion	•  European Debt Issuance Program – US$40 billion
		•  Global Covered Bond Program – €32 billion
		•  Japanese Issuance Programs – ¥1 trillion

We also raise long-term funding using Canadian Senior Notes, Canadian National Housing Act MBS, Canada Mortgage Bonds, credit card receivable-backed securities, Kangaroo Bonds (issued in the Australian domestic market by foreign firms) and Yankee Certificates of Deposit (issued in the U.S. domestic market by foreign firms). We continuously evaluate opportunities to expand into new markets and untapped investor segments since diversification expands our wholesale funding flexibility, minimizes funding concentration and dependency, and generally reduces financing costs. As presented in the following charts, our current long-term debt profile is well-diversified by both currency and product. Maintaining competitive credit ratings is also critical to cost-effective funding.

Credit ratings

Our ability to access unsecured funding markets and to engage in certain collateralized business activities on a cost-effective basis are primarily dependent upon maintaining competitive credit ratings. Credit ratings and outlooks provided by rating agencies reflect their views and methodologies. Ratings are subject to change, based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, our financial strength, competitive position, liquidity and other factors not completely within our control.

Other than as noted below, there have been no changes to our major credit ratings as disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report.

Credit ratings(1)

Standard & Poor’s (5)		A-1+		AA-		A		stable
Fitch Ratings (6)		F1+		AA		AA		stable
DBRS (7)		R-1(high)		AA (high)		AA		stable

(1) Credit ratings are not recommendations to purchase, sell or hold a financial obligation inasmuch as they do not comment on market price or suitability for a particular investor. Ratings are determined by the rating agencies based on criteria established from time to time by them, and are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization.

(2) Includes senior long-term debt issued prior to September 23, 2018 and senior long-term debt issued on or after September 23, 2018 which is excluded from the Bail-in regime.

(3) Includes senior long-term debt issued on or after September 23, 2018 which is subject to conversion under the Bail-in regime.

(4) On August 1, 2019, Moody’s affirmed our ratings with a stable outlook.

(5) On June 24, 2019, Standard & Poor’s affirmed our ratings with a stable outlook.

(6) On January 17, 2020, Fitch Ratings affirmed our ratings with a stable outlook.

(7) On June 18, 2019, DBRS revised our outlook to stable from positive, upgraded our legacy senior long-term debt rating to AA (high) from AA and upgraded our senior long-term debt rating to AA from AA (low).

Additional contractual obligations for rating downgrades

We are required to deliver collateral to certain counterparties in the event of a downgrade to our current credit rating. The following table provides the additional collateral obligations required at the reporting date in the event of a one-, two- or three-notch downgrade to our credit ratings. These additional collateral obligations are incremental requirements for each successive downgrade and do not represent the cumulative impact of multiple downgrades. The amounts reported change periodically as a result of several factors, including the transfer of trading activity to centrally cleared financial market infrastructures and exchanges, the expiration of transactions with downgrade triggers, the imposition of internal limitations on new agreements to exclude downgrade triggers, as well as normal course mark-to-market. There is no outstanding senior debt issued in the market that contains rating triggers that would lead to early prepayment of principal.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)

The LCR is a Basel III metric that measures the sufficiency of high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) available to meet liquidity needs over a 30-day period in an acute stress scenario. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and OSFI regulatory minimum coverage level for LCR is currently 100%.

OSFI requires Canadian banks to disclose the LCR using the standard Basel disclosure template and calculated using the average of daily LCR positions during the quarter.

(1) The LCR is calculated in accordance with OSFI’s LAR guideline, which, in turn, reflects liquidity-related requirements issued by the BCBS. The LCR for the quarter ended January 31, 2020 is calculated as an average of 62 daily positions.

(2) With the exception of other contingent funding obligations, unweighted inflow and outflow amounts are items maturing or callable in 30 days or less. Other contingent funding obligations also include debt securities with remaining maturity greater than 30 days.

(3) As defined by the BCBS, stable deposits from retail and small business customers are deposits that are insured and are either held in transactional accounts or the bank has an established relationship with the client making the withdrawal unlikely.

(4) Operational deposits from customers other than retail and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are deposits which clients need to keep with the bank in order to facilitate their access and ability to use payment and settlement systems primarily for clearing, custody and cash management activities.

(5) Other contractual funding obligations primarily include outflows from unsettled securities trades and outflows from obligations related to securities sold short.

(6) Other contingent funding obligations include outflows related to other off-balance sheet facilities that carry low LCR runoff factors (0% – 5%).

n.a. not applicable

We manage our LCR position within a target range that reflects our liquidity risk tolerance and takes into account business mix, asset composition and funding capabilities. The range is subject to periodic review in light of changes to internal requirements and external developments.

We maintain HQLAs in major currencies with dependable market depth and breadth. Our treasury management practices ensure that the levels of HQLA are actively managed to meet target LCR objectives. Our Level 1 assets, as calculated according to OSFI LAR and the BCBS LCR requirements, represent 81% of total HQLA. These assets consist of cash, placements with central banks and highly rated securities issued or guaranteed by governments, central banks and supranational entities.

LCR captures cash flows from on- and off-balance sheet activities that are either expected or could potentially occur within 30 days in an acute stress scenario. Cash outflows result from the application of withdrawal and non-renewal factors to demand and term deposits, differentiated by client type (wholesale, retail and small- and medium-sized enterprises). Cash outflows also arise from business activities that create contingent funding and collateral requirements, such as repo funding, derivatives, short sales of securities and the extension of credit and liquidity commitments to clients. Cash inflows arise primarily from maturing secured loans, interbank loans and non-HQLA securities.

LCR does not reflect any market funding capacity that we believe would be available in a stress situation. All maturing wholesale debt is assigned 100% outflow in the LCR calculation.

Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019

The average LCR for the quarter ended January 31, 2020 was 129%, which translates into a surplus of approximately $56 billion, compared to 127% in the prior quarter. The increase in the LCR surplus from the previous quarter is primarily due to a change in funding and business mix.

Contractual maturities of financial assets, financial liabilities and off-balance sheet items

The following tables provide remaining contractual maturity profiles of all our assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items at their carrying value (e.g., amortized cost or fair value) at the balance sheet date. Off-balance sheet items are allocated based on the expiry date of the contract.

Details of contractual maturities and commitments to extend funds are a source of information for the management of liquidity risk. Among other purposes, these details form a basis for modelling a behavioural balance sheet with effective maturities to calculate liquidity risk measures. For further details, refer to the Risk measurement section within the Liquidity and funding risk section of our 2019 Annual Report.

Capital management

We continue to manage our capital in accordance with our Capital Management Framework as described in our 2019 Annual Report. In addition, we continue to monitor and prepare for new regulatory capital developments, including the BCBS Basel III reforms, in order to ensure timely and accurate compliance with these requirements as disclosed in the Capital management and Capital, liquidity and other regulatory developments in our 2019 Annual Report, as updated below.

OSFI expects Canadian banks to meet the Basel III targets for CET1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios. Under Basel III, banks select from two main approaches, the Standardized Approach or the Internal ratings-based (IRB) approach, to calculate their minimum regulatory capital required to support credit, market and operational risks. Effective November 1, 2019, we adopted the Standardized Approach for consolidated regulatory reporting of operational risk as the use of the Advanced Measurement Approach was discontinued by OSFI.

The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has re-designated us as a Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB). This designation requires us to maintain a higher loss absorbency requirement (common equity as a percentage of risk-weighted assets) of 1%. As the Domestic Systemically Important Bank (D-SIB) requirement is equivalent to the G-SIB requirement of 1% of RWA, the G-SIB re-designation had no further impact to the loss absorbency requirements on our CET1 ratio.

38         Royal Bank of Canada        First Quarter 2020

The following table provides a summary of OSFI’s current regulatory target ratios under Basel III and Pillar 2 requirements. We are in compliance with all current capital and leverage requirements imposed by OSFI:

Basel III capital and leverage ratios	OSFI regulatory target requirements for large banks under  Basel III										RBC capital and leverage ratios as at January 31, 2020		Domestic Stability Buffer (3)		Minimum including Capital Buffers, D-SIB/G-SIB surcharge and Domestic Stability Buffer

(1) The capital buffers include the capital conservation buffer and the countercyclical capital buffer as prescribed by OSFI.

(2) A capital surcharge, equal to the higher of our D-SIB surcharge and the BCBS’s G-SIB surcharge, is applicable to risk-weighted capital.

(3) Effective April 30, 2020, OSFI has raised the level for the Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB) to 2.25% of RWA from 2.0%.

n.a. not applicable.

The following table provides details on our regulatory capital, RWA, and capital and leverage ratios. Our capital position remains strong and our capital and leverage ratios remain well above OSFI regulatory targets.

(1) Represents rounded figures.

(2) Internal capital generation of $1.9 billion which represents Net income available to shareholders, less common and preferred shares dividends.

Royal Bank of Canada         First Quarter 2020         39

Our CET1 ratio was 12.0%, down 10 bps from last quarter, mainly reflecting higher RWA, share repurchases, the impact of lower discount rates in determining our pension and other post-employment benefit obligations, and the impact of regulatory changes, including the impact of IFRS 16, net of normal course model updates. These factors were partially offset by internal capital generation.

Our Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.1% was down 10 bps, reflecting the factors noted above under the CET1 ratio.

Our Total capital ratio of 14.9% was down 30 bps, reflecting the factors noted above under the Tier 1 ratio. Total capital ratio was also negatively impacted by the net redemption of subordinated debentures.

RWA increased by $11 billion, mainly driven by business growth in wholesale and personal lending and the net impact of regulatory and model updates. The regulatory and model updates reflect the unfavourable impact of the adoption of IFRS 16, and removal of allowed grandfathering and transitioning treatment for certain securitization and counterparty credit risk exposures, partially offset by the favorable impact of normal course risk parameters changes.

Our Leverage ratio of 4.2% was down 10 bps from last quarter, mainly reflecting share repurchases, the impact of lower discount rates in determining our pension and other post-employment benefit obligations, and the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16. Higher leverage exposures were largely offset by internal capital generation. The increase in leverage exposures was primarily attributable to growth in securities, repo-style transactions, retail and wholesale lending, and derivatives.

(3) Non-Viable Contingent Capital (NVCC) instruments.

On February 27, 2019, we announced a normal course issuer bid (NCIB) to purchase up to 20 million of our common shares, commencing on March 1, 2019 and continuing until February 29, 2020, or such earlier date as we complete the repurchase of all shares permitted under the bid.

For the three-months ended January 31, 2020, the total number of common shares repurchased and cancelled under our NCIB program was approximately 7.0 million. The total cost of the shares repurchased was $727 million.

Since the inception of the current NCIB, the total number of common shares repurchased and cancelled was approximately 13.6 million, at a cost of approximately $1,409 million.

We determine the amount and timing of the purchases under the NCIB, subject to prior consultation with OSFI. Purchases may be made through the TSX, the NYSE and other designated exchanges and alternative Canadian trading systems. The price paid for repurchased shares is at the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition.

On December 6, 2019, we redeemed all $2,000 million of our outstanding 2.99% subordinated debentures due on December 6, 2024 for 100% of their principal amount plus interest accrued to, but excluding, the redemption date.

On December 17, 2019, we purchased for cash 200,000 depositary shares, each representing a one-fortieth interest in a share of our Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Non-Cumulative First Preferred Shares, Series C-2 (C-2 Preferred Shares), for aggregate total consideration, including accrued dividends, of US$6 million. The purchased depositary and underlying C-2 Preferred Shares were subsequently cancelled. The C-2 Preferred Shares do not qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital.

On December 23, 2019, we issued $1,500 million of NVCC subordinated debentures. The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.88% per annum until December 23, 2024, and at the three-month Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) plus 0.89% thereafter until their maturity on December 23, 2029.

(3) Dividend rate will reset every five years.

(4) NVCC instruments.

(5) Represents 615,400 depositary shares relating to preferred shares Series C-2. Each depositary share represents one-fortieth interest in a share of Series C-2.

(6) Positive amounts represent a short position in treasury shares.

(7) Dividends on preferred shares excludes distributions to non-controlling interests.

As at February 14, 2020, the number of outstanding common shares was 1,422,707,786, net of treasury shares held of 1,236,482, and the number of stock options and awards was 8,519,006.

NVCC provisions require the conversion of the capital instrument into a variable number of common shares in the event that OSFI deems a bank to be non-viable or a federal or provincial government in Canada publicly announces that a bank has accepted or agreed to accept a capital injection. If a NVCC trigger event were to occur, our NVCC capital instruments, which are the preferred shares Series AZ, BB, BD, BF, BH, BI, BJ, BK, BM, BO, and subordinated debentures due on September 29, 2026, June 4, 2025, January 20, 2026, January 27, 2026, July 25, 2029 and December 23, 2029, would be converted into RBC common shares pursuant to an automatic conversion formula with a conversion price based on the greater of: (i) a contractual floor price of $5.00, and (ii) the current market price of our common shares at the time of the trigger event (10-day weighted average). Based on a floor price of $5.00 and including an estimate for accrued dividends and interest, these NVCC capital instruments would convert into a maximum of 3,433 million RBC common shares, in aggregate, which would represent a dilution impact of 70.69% based on the number of RBC common shares outstanding as at January 31, 2020.

(1) The G-SIBs indicators are prepared based on the methodology prescribed in BCBS guidelines published in July 2013 and instructions provided by BCBS in January 2020. The indicators are based on regulatory scope of consolidation, which excludes RBC Insurance^® subsidiaries. For our 2019 standalone G-SIB disclosure, please refer to our Regulatory Disclosures at rbc.com/investorrelations/.

(2) Represents a bank’s level of interaction outside its domestic jurisdiction.

(3) Represents the total on- and off- balance sheet exposures of the bank determined as per OSFI’s Basel III leverage ratio rules before regulatory adjustments.

(4) Represents transactions with other financial institutions.

(5) Represents the extent to which the bank’s services could be substituted by other institutions.

(6) Includes the level of complexity and volume of a bank’s trading activities represented through derivatives, trading securities, investment securities and level 3 assets.

(7) On November 1, 2018, we prospectively implemented the standardized approach for measuring counterparty credit risk (SA-CCR) in accordance with the CAR guidelines in determining our derivative notional amounts.

Q4 2019 vs. Q4 2018

During 2019, notional amounts of over-the-counter derivatives increased mainly due to higher trading activity in interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts. Total exposures as defined for use in the Basel III leverage ratio increased due to client activity in our assets purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowed, and volume growth in loans (net of allowance for loan losses). Other movements from the prior year primarily reflect normal changes in business activity.

Total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC)

On April 18, 2018, OSFI released its final guideline on Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC), which applies to Canadian D-SIBs as part of the Federal Government’s Bail-in regime. The guideline is consistent with the TLAC standard released on November 9, 2015 by the FSB for institutions designated as G-SIBs, but tailored to the Canadian context. The TLAC requirement is intended to address the sufficiency of a systemically important bank’s loss absorbing capacity in supporting its recapitalization in the event of its failure. TLAC is defined as the aggregate of Tier 1 capital, Tier 2 capital, and other TLAC instruments, which allow conversion in whole or in part into common shares under the CDIC Act and meet all of the eligibility criteria under the guideline.

TLAC requirements established two minimum standards, which are required to be met effective November 1, 2021: the risk-based TLAC ratio, which builds on the risk-based capital ratios described in the CAR guideline, and the TLAC leverage ratio, which builds on the leverage ratio described in OSFI’s Leverage Requirements guideline. OSFI notified systemically important banks of the requirement to maintain a minimum TLAC ratio of 23.75%, which includes the revised DSB of 2.25%, effective April 30, 2020, and a TLAC leverage ratio of 6.75%. We began issuing bail-in eligible debt in the fourth quarter of 2018 and this has contributed to increasing our TLAC ratio. We expect our TLAC ratio to increase through normal course refinancing of maturing unsecured term debt.

Regulatory developments

Domestic stability buffer

On December 10, 2019, OSFI announced that the DSB will be increased from 2.0% to 2.25% of total RWA, effective April 30, 2020. This change arose from OSFI’s semi-annual review of the DSB, based on its ongoing monitoring of federally regulated financial institutions as well as OSFI’s view that key vulnerabilities to D-SIBs remain elevated. We do not anticipate any challenges in meeting this requirement by the effective date.

42         Royal Bank of Canada        First Quarter 2020

Basel III reforms – operational risk

Effective November 1, 2019, institutions are required to use the current Basel III Standardized Approach (TSA) as the use of the Advanced Measurement Approach is no longer allowed and there was no impact to our capital ratios resulting from this change. Under the Basel III reforms, OSFI revised its capital requirement for operational risk applicable to deposit taking institutions and a new Standardized Approach (SA) will be required. On January 20, 2020 OSFI extended the effective implementation date to Q1 2022 from the previous effective date of Q1 2021. We are currently assessing the expected impact on adoption.

Accounting and control matters

Summary of accounting policies and estimates

Our Condensed Financial Statements are presented in compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of our audited 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and our Q1 2020 Condensed Financial Statements.

Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

Changes in accounting policies

During the first quarter, we adopted IFRS 16 Leases (IFRS 16). As permitted by the transition provisions of IFRS 16, we elected not to restate comparative period results; accordingly, all comparative period information prior to the current quarter is presented in accordance with our previous accounting policies, as described in our 2019 Annual Report. As a result of the adoption of IFRS 16, we recognized right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and an adjustment to opening retained earnings as at November 1, 2019. Refer to Note 2 of our Condensed Financial Statements for details of these changes.

During the first quarter, we early adopted amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amendments). Refer to Note 2 of our Condensed Financial Statements for details of these changes.

Future changes in accounting policies and disclosures

Future changes in accounting policies and disclosures that are not yet effective for us are described in Note 2 of our audited 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Controls and procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures

As of January 31, 2020, management evaluated, under the supervision of and with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined under rules adopted by the U.S. SEC. Based on that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2020.

Internal control over financial reporting

No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended January 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Related party transactions

In the ordinary course of business, we provide normal banking services and operational services, and enter into other transactions with associated and other related corporations, including our joint venture entities, on terms similar to those offered to non-related parties. We grant loans to directors, officers and other employees at rates normally accorded to preferred clients. In addition, we offer deferred share and other plans to non-employee directors, executives and certain other key employees. For further information, refer to Notes 12 and 27 of our audited 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Royal Bank of Canada         First Quarter 2020         49

Note 1    General information

Our unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Condensed Financial Statements) are presented in compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Condensed Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included on pages 111 to 211 in our 2019 Annual Report. Tabular information is stated in millions of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts and percentages. On February 20, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the Condensed Financial Statements for issue.

Note 2    Summary of significant accounting policies, estimates and judgments

Except as indicated below, the Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods used in preparation of our audited 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. Our significant accounting policies and future changes in accounting policies and disclosures that are not yet effective for us are described in Note 2 of our audited 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Changes in accounting policies

Leases

During the first quarter, we adopted IFRS 16 Leases (IFRS 16), which sets out principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, replacing the previous accounting standard for leases, IAS 17 Leases (IAS 17). As a result of the application of IFRS 16, we changed our accounting policy for leasing as outlined below, applicable from November 1, 2019. As permitted by the transition provisions of IFRS 16, we elected not to restate comparative period results; accordingly, all comparative information is presented in accordance with our previous accounting policies, as described in our 2019 Annual Report.

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 16, we increased total assets by $5,084 million and total liabilities by $5,191 million, primarily representing leases of premises and equipment previously classified as operating leases, and reduced retained earnings by $107 million, net of taxes. The adoption of IFRS 16 reduced our CET1 capital ratio by 14 bps.

Leasing

At inception of a contract, we assess whether a contract is or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from, and direct the use of, an identified asset for a period of time in return for consideration.

When we are the lessee in a lease arrangement, we initially record a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets are unspecialized, common, technologically unsophisticated, widely available, and widely used non-infrastructure assets. For short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, we record the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Where we are reasonably certain to exercise extension and termination options, they are included in the lease term.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted at our incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, recorded in Interest expense.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made on or before the commencement date, initial direct costs incurred, and an estimate of costs to dismantle, remove, or restore the asset, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is depreciated to the earlier of the lease term and the useful life, unless ownership will transfer to RBC or we are reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, in which case the useful life of the right-of-use asset is used. We apply IAS 36 Impairment of assets to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and account for any identified impairment loss as described in the premises and equipment accounting policies in our 2019 Annual Report.

Impact of adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases previously classified as operating leases

At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at our incremental borrowing rate as at November 1, 2019. We applied a weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of 2.3%. Right-of-use assets are generally measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by any prepaid or accrued lease payments. For a select number of properties, the right-of-use assets were measured as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date of the lease, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate as at November 1, 2019. The following practical expedients were adopted when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17:

– Election to not separate lease and non-lease components, applied to our real estate leases; and

– Exemption from recognition for short-term and low value leases.

Note 2    Summary of significant accounting policies, estimates and judgments (continued)

The following table reconciles our operating lease commitments at October 31, 2019, as previously disclosed in our 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements, to the lease obligations recognized on initial application of IFRS 16 at November 1, 2019.

(Millions of Canadian dollars)
Lease commitments disclosed as at October 31, 2019	$	6,175
Less: commitments related to non-recoverable tax		(360	)
Less: commitments for contracts not yet commenced		(240	)
Less: recognition exemption adopted for short-term and low-value leases		(83	)
Plus: commitments for renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised		977
Other		(26	)
Adjusted operating lease commitments as at October 31, 2019		6,443
Discounted as at November 1, 2019		5,557
Finance lease liabilities recognized as at October 31, 2019		49
Lease liability recognized as at November 1, 2019	$	5,606

Impact of adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases previously classified as finance leases

The carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and lease liability at November 1, 2019 for leases previously classified as finance leases under IAS 17 Leases was determined to be equal to the carrying amount of the lease asset and liability under IAS 17 immediately before the transition date.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

During the first quarter, we early adopted amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amendments), applicable from November 1, 2019. These amendments modify certain hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from the effect of uncertainty caused by interest rate benchmark reform (the Reform) prior to the transition to alternative interest rates. The adoption of the Amendments had no impact to our consolidated financial statements.

We will cease to apply these Amendments as interbank offered rate (IBOR) based cash flows transition to new risk free rates or when the hedging relationships to which the relief is applied are discontinued.

Hedge Accounting

Our accounting policies relating to hedge accounting are described in Note 2 and Note 8 of our 2019 Annual Report. We apply hedge accounting when designated hedging instruments are ‘highly effective’ in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged items at inception and on an ongoing basis. We perform retrospective assessments to demonstrate that the relationship has been effective since designation of the hedge and prospective assessments to evaluate whether the hedge is expected to be effective over the remaining term of the hedge. While uncertainty due to IBOR reform exists, our prospective effectiveness testing is based on existing hedged cash flows or hedged risks. Any ineffectiveness arising from retrospective testing is recognized in net income.

In addition to potential sources of ineffectiveness outlined in Note 8 of our 2019 Annual Report, the Reform may result in ineffectiveness as the transition of hedged items and related hedging instruments from IBORs to new risk free rates may occur at different times. This may result in different impacts on the valuation or cash flow variability of hedged items and related hedging instruments.

Cash flow hedges

We apply hedge accounting for cash flow hedges when the cash flows giving rise to the risk being hedged have a high probability of occurring. While uncertainty due to IBOR reform exists, we apply the relief provided by the Amendments that the IBOR benchmarks, on which the highly probable hedged cash flows are based, are not altered as a result of the Reform. In addition, associated cash flow hedge reserves are not recycled into net income solely due to changes related to the transition from IBOR to new risk free rates.

Fair value hedges

We apply hedge accounting to IBOR rates which may not be contractually specified when that rate is separately identifiable and reliably measurable at inception of the hedge relationship.

Hedging relationships impacted by interest rate benchmark reform

The following table presents the notional amount of our hedging instruments which reference IBOR that will expire after 2021 and will be affected by the Reform. The notional amounts of our hedging instruments also approximates the extent of the risk exposure we manage through hedging relationships:

	As at November 1, 2019
(Millions of Canadian dollars)	Notional/Principal amounts (1)
Interest rate contracts
USD LIBOR	$	26,709
EURO Interbank Offered Rate		5,589
GBP LIBOR		618
Non-derivative instruments
USD LIBOR		888
GBP LIBOR		682
	$	34,486

(1) Excludes interest rate contracts and non-derivative instruments which reference rates in multi-rate jurisdictions, including the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) and Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW).

IFRS Interpretations Committee Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments (IFRIC 23)

During the first quarter, we adopted IFRIC 23 which provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of tax assets and liabilities under IAS 12 Income taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments, replacing our application of IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets for uncertain tax positions. We are subject to income tax laws in various jurisdictions where we operate, and the complex tax laws are potentially subject to different interpretations by us and the relevant taxation authorities. Significant judgment is required in the interpretation of the relevant tax laws, and in assessing the probability of acceptance of our tax positions, which includes our best estimate of tax positions that are under audit or appeal by relevant taxation authorities. We perform a review on a quarterly basis to incorporate our best assessment based on information available, but additional liability and income tax expense could result based on the acceptance of our positions by the relevant tax authorities. The adoption of IFRIC 23 had no impact to our consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15)

On November 1, 2018, we adopted IFRS 15 and reduced our opening retained earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we amended our opening reduction to retained earnings to $94 million on an after-tax basis. Comparative amounts have been revised from those previously presented.

Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 Instruments)

A financial instrument is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy if one or more of its unobservable inputs may significantly affect the measurement of its fair value. In preparing the financial statements, appropriate levels for these unobservable input parameters are chosen so that they are consistent with prevailing market evidence or management judgment. Due to the unobservable nature of the prices or rates, there may be uncertainty about the valuation of these Level 3 financial instruments.

During the three months ended January 31, 2020, there were no significant changes made to the valuation techniques and ranges and weighted averages of unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value of Level 3 financial instruments. As at January 31, 2020, the impacts of adjusting one or more of the unobservable inputs by reasonably possible alternative assumptions did not change significantly from the impacts disclosed in our 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1) These amounts include the foreign currency translation gains or losses arising on consolidation of foreign subsidiaries relating to the Level 3 instruments, where applicable. The unrealized gains on Investment securities recognized in OCI were $4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2020 (January 31, 2019 – gains of $11 million), excluding the translation gains or losses arising on consolidation.

(2) Other includes amortization of premiums or discounts recognized in net income.

(3) Net derivatives as at January 31, 2020 included derivative assets of $529 million (January 31, 2019 – $420 million) and derivative liabilities of $1,253 million (January 31, 2019 –$1,047 million).

n.a. not applicable

Transfers between fair value hierarchy levels for instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis

Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and transfers into and out of Level 3 are assumed to occur at the end of the period. For an asset or a liability that transfers into Level 3 during the period, the entire change in fair value for the period is excluded from the Gains (losses) included in earnings for positions still held column of the above reconciliation, whereas for transfers out of Level 3 during the period, the entire change in fair value for the period is included in the same column of the above reconciliation.

Transfers between Level 1 and 2 are dependent on whether fair value is obtained on the basis of quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1).

During the three months ended January 31, 2020, transfers out of Level 1 to Level 2 included Trading U.S. state, municipal and agencies debt and Obligations related to securities sold short of $722 million and $233 million, respectively.

During the three months ended January 31, 2020 there were no significant transfers out of Level 2 to Level 1.

Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 are primarily due to either a change in the market observability for an input, or a change in an unobservable input’s significance to a financial instrument’s fair value.

During the three months ended January 31, 2020 there were no significant transfers in or out of Level 2 and Level 3.

Allowance for credit losses on investment securities

The following tables reconcile the opening and closing allowance for debt securities at FVOCI and amortized cost by stage. Reconciling items include the following:

• Transfers between stages, which are presumed to occur before any corresponding remeasurement of the allowance.

• Purchases, which reflect the allowance related to assets newly recognized during the period, including those assets that were derecognized following a modification of terms.

• Sales and maturities, which reflect the allowance related to assets derecognized during the period without a credit loss being incurred, including those assets that were derecognized following a modification of terms.

• Changes in risk, parameters and exposures, which comprise the impact of changes in model inputs or assumptions, including changes in forward-looking macroeconomic conditions; partial repayments; changes in the measurement following a transfer between stages; and unwinding of the time value discount due to the passage of time.

Note 10    Legal and regulatory matters

We are a large global institution that is subject to many different complex legal and regulatory requirements that continue to evolve. We are and have been subject to a variety of legal proceedings, including civil claims and lawsuits, regulatory examinations, investigations, audits and requests for information by various governmental regulatory agencies and law enforcement authorities in various jurisdictions. Some of these matters may involve novel legal theories and interpretations and may be advanced under criminal as well as civil statutes, and some proceedings could result in the imposition of civil, regulatory enforcement or criminal penalties. We review the status of all proceedings on an ongoing basis and will exercise judgment in resolving them in such manner as we believe to be in our best interest. This is an area of significant judgment and uncertainty and the extent of our financial and other exposure to these proceedings after taking into account current accruals could be material to our results of operations in any particular period.

Our significant legal proceeding and regulatory matters are described in Note 26 of our 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables provide a comparison of the carrying and fair values for each classification of financial instruments. Embedded derivatives are presented on a combined basis with the host contracts. Refer to Note 2 and Note 3 of our audited 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair value measurement of our financial instruments. There have been no significant changes to our determination of fair value during the quarter.

(1) As at January 31, 2020, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities (MBS) included in all fair value levels of trading securities were $20,009 million and $nil (October 31, 2019 – $22,365 million and $nil), respectively, and in all fair value levels of Investment securities were $9,168 million and $2,099 million (October 31, 2019 –  $6,474 million and $2,046 million), respectively.

(2) OECD stands for Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

(3) CDO stands for collateralized debt obligations.

Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 Instruments)

A financial instrument is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy if one or more of its unobservable inputs may significantly affect the measurement of its fair value. In preparing the financial statements, appropriate levels for these unobservable input parameters are chosen so that they are consistent with prevailing market evidence or management judgment. Due to the unobservable nature of the prices or rates, there may be uncertainty about the valuation of these Level 3 financial instruments.

During the three months ended January 31, 2020, there were no significant changes made to the valuation techniques and ranges and weighted averages of unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value of Level 3 financial instruments. As at January 31, 2020, the impacts of adjusting one or more of the unobservable inputs by reasonably possible alternative assumptions did not change significantly from the impacts disclosed in our 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1) These amounts include the foreign currency translation gains or losses arising on consolidation of foreign subsidiaries relating to the Level 3 instruments, where applicable. The unrealized gains on Investment securities recognized in OCI were $4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2020 (January 31, 2019 – gains of $11 million), excluding the translation gains or losses arising on consolidation.

(2) Other includes amortization of premiums or discounts recognized in net income.

(3) Net derivatives as at January 31, 2020 included derivative assets of $529 million (January 31, 2019 – $420 million) and derivative liabilities of $1,253 million (January 31, 2019 –$1,047 million).

Transfers between fair value hierarchy levels for instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis

Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and transfers into and out of Level 3 are assumed to occur at the end of the period. For an asset or a liability that transfers into Level 3 during the period, the entire change in fair value for the period is excluded from the Gains (losses) included in earnings for positions still held column of the above reconciliation, whereas for transfers out of Level 3 during the period, the entire change in fair value for the period is included in the same column of the above reconciliation.

Transfers between Level 1 and 2 are dependent on whether fair value is obtained on the basis of quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1).

During the three months ended January 31, 2020, transfers out of Level 1 to Level 2 included Trading U.S. state, municipal and agencies debt and Obligations related to securities sold short of $722 million and $233 million, respectively.

During the three months ended January 31, 2020 there were no significant transfers out of Level 2 to Level 1.

Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 are primarily due to either a change in the market observability for an input, or a change in an unobservable input’s significance to a financial instrument’s fair value.

During the three months ended January 31, 2020 there were no significant transfers in or out of Level 2 and Level 3.

Summary of significant accounting policies, estimates and judgments

Note 2    Summary of significant accounting policies, estimates and judgments

Except as indicated below, the Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods used in preparation of our audited 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. Our significant accounting policies and future changes in accounting policies and disclosures that are not yet effective for us are described in Note 2 of our audited 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Changes in accounting policies

Leases

During the first quarter, we adopted IFRS 16 Leases (IFRS 16), which sets out principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, replacing the previous accounting standard for leases, IAS 17 Leases (IAS 17). As a result of the application of IFRS 16, we changed our accounting policy for leasing as outlined below, applicable from November 1, 2019. As permitted by the transition provisions of IFRS 16, we elected not to restate comparative period results; accordingly, all comparative information is presented in accordance with our previous accounting policies, as described in our 2019 Annual Report.

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 16, we increased total assets by $5,084 million and total liabilities by $5,191 million, primarily representing leases of premises and equipment previously classified as operating leases, and reduced retained earnings by $107 million, net of taxes. The adoption of IFRS 16 reduced our CET1 capital ratio by 14 bps.

Leasing

At inception of a contract, we assess whether a contract is or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from, and direct the use of, an identified asset for a period of time in return for consideration.

When we are the lessee in a lease arrangement, we initially record a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets are unspecialized, common, technologically unsophisticated, widely available, and widely used non-infrastructure assets. For short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, we record the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Where we are reasonably certain to exercise extension and termination options, they are included in the lease term.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted at our incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, recorded in Interest expense.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made on or before the commencement date, initial direct costs incurred, and an estimate of costs to dismantle, remove, or restore the asset, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is depreciated to the earlier of the lease term and the useful life, unless ownership will transfer to RBC or we are reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, in which case the useful life of the right-of-use asset is used. We apply IAS 36 Impairment of assets to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and account for any identified impairment loss as described in the premises and equipment accounting policies in our 2019 Annual Report.

Impact of adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases previously classified as operating leases

At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at our incremental borrowing rate as at November 1, 2019. We applied a weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of 2.3%. Right-of-use assets are generally measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by any prepaid or accrued lease payments. For a select number of properties, the right-of-use assets were measured as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date of the lease, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate as at November 1, 2019. The following practical expedients were adopted when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17:

– Election to not separate lease and non-lease components, applied to our real estate leases; and

– Exemption from recognition for short-term and low value leases.

The following table reconciles our operating lease commitments at October 31, 2019, as previously disclosed in our 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements, to the lease obligations recognized on initial application of IFRS 16 at November 1, 2019.

(Millions of Canadian dollars)
Lease commitments disclosed as at October 31, 2019	$	6,175
Less: commitments related to non-recoverable tax		(360	)
Less: commitments for contracts not yet commenced		(240	)
Less: recognition exemption adopted for short-term and low-value leases		(83	)
Plus: commitments for renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised		977
Other		(26	)
Adjusted operating lease commitments as at October 31, 2019		6,443
Discounted as at November 1, 2019		5,557
Finance lease liabilities recognized as at October 31, 2019		49
Lease liability recognized as at November 1, 2019	$	5,606

Impact of adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases previously classified as finance leases

The carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and lease liability at November 1, 2019 for leases previously classified as finance leases under IAS 17 Leases was determined to be equal to the carrying amount of the lease asset and liability under IAS 17 immediately before the transition date.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

During the first quarter, we early adopted amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amendments), applicable from November 1, 2019. These amendments modify certain hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from the effect of uncertainty caused by interest rate benchmark reform (the Reform) prior to the transition to alternative interest rates. The adoption of the Amendments had no impact to our consolidated financial statements.

We will cease to apply these Amendments as interbank offered rate (IBOR) based cash flows transition to new risk free rates or when the hedging relationships to which the relief is applied are discontinued.

Hedge Accounting

Our accounting policies relating to hedge accounting are described in Note 2 and Note 8 of our 2019 Annual Report. We apply hedge accounting when designated hedging instruments are ‘highly effective’ in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged items at inception and on an ongoing basis. We perform retrospective assessments to demonstrate that the relationship has been effective since designation of the hedge and prospective assessments to evaluate whether the hedge is expected to be effective over the remaining term of the hedge. While uncertainty due to IBOR reform exists, our prospective effectiveness testing is based on existing hedged cash flows or hedged risks. Any ineffectiveness arising from retrospective testing is recognized in net income.

In addition to potential sources of ineffectiveness outlined in Note 8 of our 2019 Annual Report, the Reform may result in ineffectiveness as the transition of hedged items and related hedging instruments from IBORs to new risk free rates may occur at different times. This may result in different impacts on the valuation or cash flow variability of hedged items and related hedging instruments.

Cash flow hedges

We apply hedge accounting for cash flow hedges when the cash flows giving rise to the risk being hedged have a high probability of occurring. While uncertainty due to IBOR reform exists, we apply the relief provided by the Amendments that the IBOR benchmarks, on which the highly probable hedged cash flows are based, are not altered as a result of the Reform. In addition, associated cash flow hedge reserves are not recycled into net income solely due to changes related to the transition from IBOR to new risk free rates.

Fair value hedges

We apply hedge accounting to IBOR rates which may not be contractually specified when that rate is separately identifiable and reliably measurable at inception of the hedge relationship.

Hedging relationships impacted by interest rate benchmark reform

The following table presents the notional amount of our hedging instruments which reference IBOR that will expire after 2021 and will be affected by the Reform. The notional amounts of our hedging instruments also approximates the extent of the risk exposure we manage through hedging relationships:

	As at November 1, 2019
(Millions of Canadian dollars)	Notional/Principal amounts (1)
Interest rate contracts
USD LIBOR	$	26,709
EURO Interbank Offered Rate		5,589
GBP LIBOR		618
Non-derivative instruments
USD LIBOR		888
GBP LIBOR		682
	$	34,486

(1) Excludes interest rate contracts and non-derivative instruments which reference rates in multi-rate jurisdictions, including the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) and Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW).

IFRS Interpretations Committee Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments (IFRIC 23)

During the first quarter, we adopted IFRIC 23 which provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of tax assets and liabilities under IAS 12 Income taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments, replacing our application of IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets for uncertain tax positions. We are subject to income tax laws in various jurisdictions where we operate, and the complex tax laws are potentially subject to different interpretations by us and the relevant taxation authorities. Significant judgment is required in the interpretation of the relevant tax laws, and in assessing the probability of acceptance of our tax positions, which includes our best estimate of tax positions that are under audit or appeal by relevant taxation authorities. We perform a review on a quarterly basis to incorporate our best assessment based on information available, but additional liability and income tax expense could result based on the acceptance of our positions by the relevant tax authorities. The adoption of IFRIC 23 had no impact to our consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15)

On November 1, 2018, we adopted IFRS 15 and reduced our opening retained earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we amended our opening reduction to retained earnings to $94 million on an after-tax basis. Comparative amounts have been revised from those previously presented.

Significant capital and funding transactions

Note 8     Significant capital and funding transactions

Preferred Shares

On December 17, 2019, we purchased for cash 200,000 depositary shares, each representing a one-fortieth interest in a share of our Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Non-Cumulative First Preferred Shares, Series C-2 (C-2 Preferred Shares), for aggregate total consideration, including accrued dividends, of US$6 million. The purchased depositary and underlying C-2 Preferred Shares were subsequently cancelled. The C-2 Preferred Shares do not qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital.

Subordinated debentures

On December 6, 2019, we redeemed all $2,000 million of our outstanding 2.99% subordinated debentures due on December 6, 2024 for 100% of their principal amount plus interest accrued to, but excluding, the redemption date.

On December 23, 2019, we issued $1,500 million of NVCC subordinated debentures. The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.88% per annum until December 23, 2024, and at the three-month Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus 0.89% thereafter until their maturity on December 23, 2029.

(1) Excludes $44,188 million of held-to-collect securities as at January 31, 2020 that are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses (October 31, 2019 – $44,784 million).

(2) Gross unrealized gains and losses includes $(3) million of allowance for credit losses on debt securities at FVOCI as at January 31, 2020 (October 31, 2019 – $(3) million) recognized in income and Other components of equity.

(3) The majority of the MBS are residential. Cost/Amortized cost, Gross unrealized gains, Gross unrealized losses and Fair value related to commercial MBS are $2,105 million, $1 million, $7 million and $2,099 million, respectively as at January 31, 2020 (October 31, 2019 – $2,051 million, $1 million, $6 million and $2,046 million, respectively).

Allowance for credit losses on investment securities

The following tables reconcile the opening and closing allowance for debt securities at FVOCI and amortized cost by stage. Reconciling items include the following:

• Transfers between stages, which are presumed to occur before any corresponding remeasurement of the allowance.

• Purchases, which reflect the allowance related to assets newly recognized during the period, including those assets that were derecognized following a modification of terms.

• Sales and maturities, which reflect the allowance related to assets derecognized during the period without a credit loss being incurred, including those assets that were derecognized following a modification of terms.

• Changes in risk, parameters and exposures, which comprise the impact of changes in model inputs or assumptions, including changes in forward-looking macroeconomic conditions; partial repayments; changes in the measurement following a transfer between stages; and unwinding of the time value discount due to the passage of time.

Legal and regulatory matters

Note 10    Legal and regulatory matters

We are a large global institution that is subject to many different complex legal and regulatory requirements that continue to evolve. We are and have been subject to a variety of legal proceedings, including civil claims and lawsuits, regulatory examinations, investigations, audits and requests for information by various governmental regulatory agencies and law enforcement authorities in various jurisdictions. Some of these matters may involve novel legal theories and interpretations and may be advanced under criminal as well as civil statutes, and some proceedings could result in the imposition of civil, regulatory enforcement or criminal penalties. We review the status of all proceedings on an ongoing basis and will exercise judgment in resolving them in such manner as we believe to be in our best interest. This is an area of significant judgment and uncertainty and the extent of our financial and other exposure to these proceedings after taking into account current accruals could be material to our results of operations in any particular period.

Our significant legal proceeding and regulatory matters are described in Note 26 of our 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table reconciles the opening and closing allowance for loans and commitments, by stage, for each major product category.

Reconciling items include the following:

• Transfers between stages, which are presumed to occur before any corresponding remeasurements of the allowance.

• Originations, which reflect the allowance related to assets newly recognized during the period, including those assets that were derecognized following a modification of terms.

• Maturities, which reflect the allowance related to assets derecognized during the period without a credit loss being incurred, including those assets that were derecognized following a modification of terms.

• Changes in risk, parameters and exposures, which comprise the impact of changes in model inputs or assumptions, including changes in forward-looking macroeconomic conditions; partial repayments and additional draws on existing facilities; changes in the measurement following a transfer between stages; and unwinding of the time value discount due to the passage of time in stage 1 and stage 2.

Credit risk exposure by internal risk rating

The following table presents the gross carrying amount of loans measured at amortized cost, and the full contractual amount of undrawn loan commitments subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9. Risk ratings are based on internal ratings used in the measurement of expected credit losses as at the reporting date, as outlined in the internal ratings maps for Wholesale and Retail facilities in the Credit risk section of our 2019 Annual Report.

Credit Risk Exposure by Internal Risk Rating

The following table presents the gross carrying amount of loans measured at amortized cost, and the full contractual amount of undrawn loan commitments subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9. Risk ratings are based on internal ratings used in the measurement of expected credit losses as at the reporting date, as outlined in the internal ratings maps for Wholesale and Retail facilities in the Credit risk section of our 2019 Annual Report.

Summary of significant accounting policies, estimates and judgments (Policies)

Statement [Line Items]

Changes in accounting policies

Changes in accounting policies

Leases

During the first quarter, we adopted IFRS 16 Leases (IFRS 16), which sets out principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, replacing the previous accounting standard for leases, IAS 17 Leases (IAS 17). As a result of the application of IFRS 16, we changed our accounting policy for leasing as outlined below, applicable from November 1, 2019. As permitted by the transition provisions of IFRS 16, we elected not to restate comparative period results; accordingly, all comparative information is presented in accordance with our previous accounting policies, as described in our 2019 Annual Report.

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 16, we increased total assets by $5,084 million and total liabilities by $5,191 million, primarily representing leases of premises and equipment previously classified as operating leases, and reduced retained earnings by $107 million, net of taxes. The adoption of IFRS 16 reduced our CET1 capital ratio by 14 bps.

Leasing

Leasing

At inception of a contract, we assess whether a contract is or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from, and direct the use of, an identified asset for a period of time in return for consideration.

When we are the lessee in a lease arrangement, we initially record a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets are unspecialized, common, technologically unsophisticated, widely available, and widely used non-infrastructure assets. For short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, we record the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Where we are reasonably certain to exercise extension and termination options, they are included in the lease term.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted at our incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, recorded in Interest expense.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made on or before the commencement date, initial direct costs incurred, and an estimate of costs to dismantle, remove, or restore the asset, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is depreciated to the earlier of the lease term and the useful life, unless ownership will transfer to RBC or we are reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, in which case the useful life of the right-of-use asset is used. We apply IAS 36 Impairment of assets to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and account for any identified impairment loss as described in the premises and equipment accounting policies in our 2019 Annual Report.

Impact of adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases previously classified as operating leases

At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at our incremental borrowing rate as at November 1, 2019. We applied a weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of 2.3%. Right-of-use assets are generally measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by any prepaid or accrued lease payments. For a select number of properties, the right-of-use assets were measured as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date of the lease, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate as at November 1, 2019. The following practical expedients were adopted when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17:

– Election to not separate lease and non-lease components, applied to our real estate leases; and

– Exemption from recognition for short-term and low value leases.

The following table reconciles our operating lease commitments at October 31, 2019, as previously disclosed in our 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements, to the lease obligations recognized on initial application of IFRS 16 at November 1, 2019.

(Millions of Canadian dollars)
Lease commitments disclosed as at October 31, 2019	$	6,175
Less: commitments related to non-recoverable tax		(360	)
Less: commitments for contracts not yet commenced		(240	)
Less: recognition exemption adopted for short-term and low-value leases		(83	)
Plus: commitments for renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised		977
Other		(26	)
Adjusted operating lease commitments as at October 31, 2019		6,443
Discounted as at November 1, 2019		5,557
Finance lease liabilities recognized as at October 31, 2019		49
Lease liability recognized as at November 1, 2019	$	5,606

Impact of adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases previously classified as finance leases

The carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and lease liability at November 1, 2019 for leases previously classified as finance leases under IAS 17 Leases was determined to be equal to the carrying amount of the lease asset and liability under IAS 17 immediately before the transition date.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

During the first quarter, we early adopted amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amendments), applicable from November 1, 2019. These amendments modify certain hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from the effect of uncertainty caused by interest rate benchmark reform (the Reform) prior to the transition to alternative interest rates. The adoption of the Amendments had no impact to our consolidated financial statements.

We will cease to apply these Amendments as interbank offered rate (IBOR) based cash flows transition to new risk free rates or when the hedging relationships to which the relief is applied are discontinued.

Financial instruments - Hedge accounting

Hedge Accounting

Our accounting policies relating to hedge accounting are described in Note 2 and Note 8 of our 2019 Annual Report. We apply hedge accounting when designated hedging instruments are ‘highly effective’ in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged items at inception and on an ongoing basis. We perform retrospective assessments to demonstrate that the relationship has been effective since designation of the hedge and prospective assessments to evaluate whether the hedge is expected to be effective over the remaining term of the hedge. While uncertainty due to IBOR reform exists, our prospective effectiveness testing is based on existing hedged cash flows or hedged risks. Any ineffectiveness arising from retrospective testing is recognized in net income.

In addition to potential sources of ineffectiveness outlined in Note 8 of our 2019 Annual Report, the Reform may result in ineffectiveness as the transition of hedged items and related hedging instruments from IBORs to new risk free rates may occur at different times. This may result in different impacts on the valuation or cash flow variability of hedged items and related hedging instruments.

Cash flow hedges

We apply hedge accounting for cash flow hedges when the cash flows giving rise to the risk being hedged have a high probability of occurring. While uncertainty due to IBOR reform exists, we apply the relief provided by the Amendments that the IBOR benchmarks, on which the highly probable hedged cash flows are based, are not altered as a result of the Reform. In addition, associated cash flow hedge reserves are not recycled into net income solely due to changes related to the transition from IBOR to new risk free rates.

Fair value hedges

We apply hedge accounting to IBOR rates which may not be contractually specified when that rate is separately identifiable and reliably measurable at inception of the hedge relationship.

Hedging relationships impacted by interest rate benchmark reform

The following table presents the notional amount of our hedging instruments which reference IBOR that will expire after 2021 and will be affected by the Reform. The notional amounts of our hedging instruments also approximates the extent of the risk exposure we manage through hedging relationships:

	As at November 1, 2019
(Millions of Canadian dollars)	Notional/Principal amounts (1)
Interest rate contracts
USD LIBOR	$	26,709
EURO Interbank Offered Rate		5,589
GBP LIBOR		618
Non-derivative instruments
USD LIBOR		888
GBP LIBOR		682
	$	34,486

(1) Excludes interest rate contracts and non-derivative instruments which reference rates in multi-rate jurisdictions, including the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) and Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW).

IFRS Interpretations Committee Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments (IFRIC 23)

During the first quarter, we adopted IFRIC 23 which provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of tax assets and liabilities under IAS 12 Income taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments, replacing our application of IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets for uncertain tax positions. We are subject to income tax laws in various jurisdictions where we operate, and the complex tax laws are potentially subject to different interpretations by us and the relevant taxation authorities. Significant judgment is required in the interpretation of the relevant tax laws, and in assessing the probability of acceptance of our tax positions, which includes our best estimate of tax positions that are under audit or appeal by relevant taxation authorities. We perform a review on a quarterly basis to incorporate our best assessment based on information available, but additional liability and income tax expense could result based on the acceptance of our positions by the relevant tax authorities. The adoption of IFRIC 23 had no impact to our consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15)

On November 1, 2018, we adopted IFRS 15 and reduced our opening retained earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we amended our opening reduction to retained earnings to $94 million on an after-tax basis. Comparative amounts have been revised from those previously presented.
