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

 

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

 

Canadian Retail

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

 

U.S. Retail

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

 

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

 

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

 

Wholesale Banking

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

 

Capital

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

 

Conclusion

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

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATING PERFORMANCE

 

This MD&A is presented to enable readers to assess material changes in the financial condition and operating results of TD Bank Group ("TD" or the "Bank") for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, compared with the corresponding periods shown. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Bank's unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in this Report to Shareholders and with the 2016 Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes and 2016 MD&A. This MD&A is dated August 30, 2017. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars and have been primarily derived from the Bank's 2016 Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes or Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes, prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Note that certain comparative amounts have been restated/reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current period. Additional information relating to the Bank, including the Bank's 2016 Annual Information Form, is available on the Bank's website at http://www.td.com, as well as on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com and on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov (EDGAR filers section).

 

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

From time to time, the Bank (as defined in this document) makes written and/or oral forward-looking statements, including in this document, in other filings with Canadian regulators or the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in other communications. In addition, representatives of the Bank may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. All such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbour" provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under, applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements made in this document, the Management's Discussion and Analysis ("2016 MD&A") in the Bank's 2016 Annual Report under the heading "Economic Summary and Outlook", for each business segment under headings "Business Outlook and Focus for 2017", and in other statements regarding the Bank's objectives and priorities for 2017 and beyond and strategies to achieve them, the regulatory environment in which the Bank operates, and the Bank's anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "will", "would", "should", "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "goal", "target", "may", and "could".

By their very nature, these forward-looking statements require the Bank to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific. Especially in light of the uncertainty related to the physical, financial, economic, political, and regulatory environments, such risks and uncertainties – many of which are beyond the Bank's control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict – may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause, individually or in the aggregate, such differences include: credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign exchange, and interest rate), liquidity, operational (including technology and infrastructure), reputational, insurance, strategic, regulatory, legal, environmental, capital adequacy, and other risks. Examples of such risk factors include the general business and economic conditions in the regions in which the Bank operates; the ability of the Bank to execute on key priorities, including the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions, business retention plans, and strategic plans and to attract, develop and retain key executives; disruptions in or attacks (including cyber-attacks) on the Bank's information technology, internet, network access or other voice or data communications systems or services; the evolution of various types of fraud or other criminal behaviour to which the Bank is exposed; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank or its affiliates, including relating to the care and control of information; the impact of new and changes to, or application of, current laws and regulations, including without limitation tax laws, risk-based capital guidelines and liquidity regulatory guidance; exposure related to significant litigation and regulatory matters; increased competition, including through internet and mobile banking and non-traditional competitors; changes to the Bank's credit ratings; changes in currency and interest rates (including the possibility of negative interest rates); increased funding costs and market volatility due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; critical accounting estimates and changes to accounting standards, policies, and methods used by the Bank; existing and potential international debt crises; and the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events and claims resulting from such events. The Bank cautions that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect the Bank's results. For more detailed information, please refer to the "Risk Factors and Management" section of the 2016 MD&A, as may be updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders and news releases (as applicable) related to any transactions or events discussed under the heading "Significant Events" in the relevant MD&A, which applicable releases may be found on www.td.com. All such factors should be considered carefully, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements, when making decisions with respect to the Bank and the Bank cautions readers not to place undue reliance on the Bank's forward-looking statements.

Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document are set out in the 2016 MD&A under the headings "Economic Summary and Outlook", and for each business segment, "Business Outlook and Focus for 2017", each as may be updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders.

Any forward-looking statements contained in this document represent the views of management only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting the Bank's shareholders and analysts in understanding the Bank's financial position, objectives and priorities and anticipated financial performance as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on its behalf, except as required under applicable securities legislation.

 

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

HOW WE PERFORMED

 

Corporate Overview

The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively known as TD Bank Group ("TD" or the "Bank"). TD is the sixth largest bank in North America by branches and serves more than 25 million customers in three key businesses operating in a number of locations in financial centres around the globe: Canadian Retail, including TD Canada Trust, TD Auto Finance Canada, TD Wealth (Canada), TD Direct Investing, and TD Insurance; U.S. Retail, including TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank®, TD Auto Finance U.S., TD Wealth (U.S.), and an investment in TD Ameritrade; and Wholesale Banking, including TD Securities. TD also ranks among the world's leading online financial services firms, with approximately 11.5 million active online and mobile customers. TD had $1.2 trillion in assets on July 31, 2017. The Toronto-Dominion Bank trades under the symbol "TD" on the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges.

 

How the Bank Reports

The Bank prepares its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS, the current GAAP, and refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS as "reported" results. The Bank also utilizes non-GAAP financial measures referred to as "adjusted" results to assess each of its businesses and to measure the Bank's overall performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank removes "items of note", from reported results. The items of note relate to items which management does not believe are indicative of underlying business performance. The Bank believes that adjusted results provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Bank's performance. The items of note are disclosed in Table 3. As explained, adjusted results differ from reported results determined in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted results, items of note, and related terms used in this document are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.

Fair value of derivatives hedging the reclassified available-for-sale (AFS) securities portfolio, as explained in footnote 6 - first quarter 2017 – $41 million gain, second quarter 2016 – $58 million loss, and first quarter 2016 – $46 million gain. These amounts were reported in the Corporate segment.

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

Return on Common Equity

The Bank's methodology for allocating capital to its business segments is aligned with the common equity capital requirements under Basel III. The capital allocated to the business segments is based on 9% CET1 Capital.

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

Adjusted ROE is a non-GAAP financial measure as it is not a defined term under IFRS. Readers are cautioned that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than IFRS do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW

 

Performance Summary

Outlined below is an overview of the Bank's performance on an adjusted basis for the third quarter of 2017. Shareholder performance indicators help guide and benchmark the Bank's accomplishments.

Reported and adjusted results and items of note are explained in the "How the Bank Reports" section of this document.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, increased 14.8% from the same period last year reflecting higher earnings across all segments. The Bank's goal is to achieve 7 to 10% adjusted earnings per share growth over the medium term.
Adjusted return on common equity for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, was 15.2%.

Net Interest Income

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

Net interest income for the quarter was $5,267 million, an increase of $343 million, or 7%, compared with the third quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to loan and deposit growth in the Canadian and U.S. Retail segments.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q2 2017

Net interest income for the quarter increased $158 million, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter primarily due to the effect of three additional days in the current quarter, and higher margins on average earning assets in the Canadian and U.S. Retail segments, partially offset by lower client activity in equity trading this quarter.

By segment, the increase in net interest income was due to an increase in U.S. Retail of $73 million, or 4%, an increase in Canadian Retail of $159 million, or 6%, and an increase in the Corporate segment of $402 million, partially offset by a decrease in Wholesale Banking of $476 million, or 59%.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

Reported non-interest income for the quarter was $4,019 million, an increase of $242 million, or 6%, compared with the third quarter last year. The increase reflects higher fee-based revenue, partially offset by changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar decrease to insurance claims and related expenses, and a loss on sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe this quarter reported as an item of note. Adjusted non-interest income for the quarter was $4,061 million, an increase of $284 million, or 8%.

By segment, the increase in reported non-interest income was due to an increase in U.S. Retail of $124 million, or 21%, an increase in Wholesale Banking of $104 million, or 22%, and an increase in Canadian Retail of $15 million, or 1%, partially offset by a decrease in the Corporate segment of $1 million, or 1%.

Reported non-interest income was $11,362 million, an increase of $643 million, or 6%, compared with the same period last year. The increase primarily reflects higher fee-based revenue, partially offset by changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar decrease to insurance claims and related expenses, and a loss on sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe this quarter reported as an item of note. Adjusted non-interest income of $11,363 million increased $632 million, or 6%, compared with the same period last year.

By segment, the increase in reported non-interest income was due to an increase in U.S. Retail of $292 million, or 16%, an increase in Canadian Retail of $195 million, or 3%, an increase in the Corporate segment of $106 million, or 34%, and an increase in Wholesale Banking of $50 million, or 5%.

 

Provision for Credit Losses

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

PCL for the quarter was $505 million, a decrease of $51 million, or 9%, compared with the third quarter last year. The decrease primarily reflects lower provisions in credit cards, personal lending and auto lending in Canada, and lower specific provisions in Wholesale Banking related to the oil and gas sector, partially offset by higher provisions in the U.S. reflecting mix in auto lending, growth in credit cards and other personal products.

By segment, the decrease in PCL was due to a decrease in the Corporate segment of $32 million, or 27%, a decrease in Canadian Retail of $20 million, or 8%, and a decrease in Wholesale Banking of $11 million, partially offset by an increase in U.S. Retail of $12 million, or 7%.

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q2 2017

PCL for the quarter increased $5 million, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter. The increase was due to higher provisions in the U.S. Retail segment primarily reflecting parameter changes to the retail portfolio in the prior quarter, and the recovery of specific provisions in the oil and gas sector in the prior quarter.

By segment, the increase in PCL was due to an increase in U.S. Retail of $28 million, or 18%, an increase in Wholesale Banking of $4 million, an increase in Canadian Retail of $3 million, or 1%, partially offset by a decrease in the Corporate segment of $30 million, or 26%.

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2017 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS Page 8
 

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

PCL of $1,638 million decreased $144 million, or 8%, compared with the same period last year.

By segment, the decrease in PCL was due to a decrease in Wholesale Banking of $101 million, a decrease in the Corporate segment of $75 million, or 18%, and a decrease in Canadian Retail of $6 million, or 1%, partially offset by an increase in U.S. Retail of $38 million, or 7%.

Insurance claims and related expenses

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

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

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q2 2017

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

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

Insurance claims and related expenses were $1,631 million, a decrease of $246 million, or 13%, compared with same period last year, reflecting changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar decrease to non-interest income, the prior year impact of the Fort McMurray wildfire and less severe weather conditions, and more favourable prior years' claims developments.

 

Non-Interest Expenses and Efficiency Ratio

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

Reported non-interest expenses were $4,855 million, an increase of $215 million, or 5%, compared with the third quarter last year primarily reflecting higher employee related expenses, including variable compensation, investments in technology and business initiatives, charges for store closures in U.S. Retail, and investment in TD Prime Services (formerly Albert Fried & Company). These increases were partially offset by the positive impact of tax adjustments in the current year, and timing of certain other expenses. Adjusted non-interest expenses were $4,797 million, an increase of $220 million, or 5%.

By segment, the increase in reported non-interest expenses was due to an increase in U.S. Retail of $94 million, or 7%, an increase in Canadian Retail of $86 million, or 4%, and an increase in Wholesale Banking of $67 million, or 15%, partially offset by a decrease in the Corporate segment of $32 million, or 5%.

The Bank's reported efficiency ratio was 52.3%, compared with 56.5% in the prior quarter. The Bank's adjusted efficiency ratio was 51.4%, compared with 55.8% in the prior quarter.

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

Adjusted non-interest expenses of $14,353 million increased $641 million, or 5%.

By segment, the increase in reported non-interest expenses was due to an increase in Canadian Retail of $355 million, or 6%, an increase in Wholesale Banking of $202 million, or 15%, and increase in U.S. Retail of $155 million, or 4%, partially offset by a decrease in the Corporate segment of $203 million, or 9%.

As discussed in the "How the Bank Reports" section of this document, the Bank adjusts its reported results to assess each of its businesses and to measure overall Bank performance. As such, the provision for income taxes is stated on a reported and an adjusted basis.

The Bank's effective income tax rate on a reported basis was 22.3% for the third quarter, compared with 20.5% in the third quarter last year and 9.7% in the prior quarter. The year-over-year increase was largely due to changes in global business mix, an increase in pre-tax income, and lower tax exempt dividend income in the current quarter. The quarter-over-quarter increase was largely due to higher than usual tax exempt dividend income in the prior quarter.

The Bank's adjusted effective tax rate was 22.2% for the quarter, higher than 20.8% in the third quarter last year and 10.2% in the prior quarter. The year-over-year increase was largely due to changes in global business mix, an increase in pre-tax income, and lower tax exempt dividend income in the current quarter. The quarter-over-quarter increase was largely due to higher than usual tax exempt dividend income in the prior quarter.

 

Impact of Foreign Exchange Rate on U.S. Retail Segment Translated Earnings

U.S. Retail segment earnings, including the contribution from the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade, reflect fluctuations in the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate compared with the same period last year. Depreciation of the Canadian dollar had a favourable impact on U.S. Retail segment earnings for the three months ended July 31, 2017, compared with the third quarter last year. Appreciation of the Canadian dollar had an unfavourable impact on consolidated earnings for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, compared with the same period last year, as shown in the following table.

Economic Summary and Outlook

After registering a solid rebound in the second half of calendar 2016, the global economy has continued to gain strength so far in 2017. Further improvements in economic conditions have been observed across advanced and emerging market economies in recent months, contributing to some moderate upward pressure on international bond yields. A further acceleration in the rate of world economic expansion in the second half of this year will face hard limits, particularly in light of structurally aging populations and weak global productivity gains. However, TD Economics projects real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can be sustained at a healthy 3.5% pace, on average, over the 2017-18 calendar period.

In the U.S., the economic growth rate has continued to trend close to 2% so far in calendar 2017, a respectable pace that mirrors the average recorded since the beginning of the recovery in 2010. Driven by continued robust hiring and personal income gains, consumer spending has remained the linchpin of the U.S. expansion. At the same time, non-residential fixed investment has strengthened in the first half of this calendar year on the back of rising spending on equipment and oil and gas structures. Near term prospects for the U.S. economy remain constructive. However, with hopes having diminished around Congressional passage of a pro-growth agenda of tax reform and infrastructure spending, real GDP growth of around 2-2.5% appears to be an upper threshold for an economy in the mature phase of the business cycle.

U.S. inflation has fallen short of expectations so far this year. Armed with an expectation that inflation will gradually regain traction, the Federal Reserve (Fed) has signalled a desire to further reduce monetary stimulus. A pace of inflation that remains well below the Fed's 2% target is a key downside risk to the interest rate outlook. Indeed, central bank officials have acknowledged the possibility that global influences, including automation, could be exerting a larger and more sustained downward impact on U.S. inflation than is being captured by its forecasting models. In addition, the upcoming debt ceiling and Congressional budget negotiations may have the potential to reignite financial market volatility and could delay the Fed's efforts to normalize monetary policy in the near term.

After experiencing a significant negative oil price shock in the 2015 and early 2016 calendar years, Canada's economy has bounced back with surprising vigour this year. Economic growth averaged 3.5% annualized in the three calendar quarters ending March 2017, and recent data point to robust growth of approximately 3.5% in the second calendar quarter. Economic strength has broadened across goods- and service-producing industries in recent months. Within the job market, the unemployment rate fell to a new cyclical low of 6.3% in July 2017. The Bank of Canada's Summer 2017 Business Outlook Survey revealed widespread improvements in sentiment across Canadian firms, notably in expectations regarding future sales and employment.

Despite the solid momentum entering the second half of the calendar year, three factors in particular are likely to slow Canada's growth rate going forward:

A key driver of strength over the past year has been rebounds in sectors that had been hardest hit by the oil shock in calendar 2015-16 as well as the Alberta wildfires. As these industries have reached more normal levels of activity, the related positive growth impulse is expected to dissipate.
Canadian exporters are expected to benefit from ongoing expansion in the U.S. and globally. However, the recent jump in the value of the Canadian dollar from US75 cents in March 2017 to approximately US79 cents in early August will likely act as a drag on the nation's export performance later this year and into 2018.
Above all, the elevated contribution from housing over the past few years is likely to transform into a moderate drag, as activity in Ontario's Greater Golden Horseshoe continues to slow. Driving the cooling is a combination of measures introduced in the Ontario 2017 provincial budget, recent tighter federal mortgage rules, higher funding costs for financial institutions and stretched valuations. An orderly adjustment in resale housing activity in this large market is likely to extend into calendar 2018.

As such, economic growth in Canada is expected to fall within a more sustainable range of 1.5-2% in the second half of 2017 and in the 2018 calendar year.

Regionally, convergence in regional economic growth is likely to take place. Partially reversing economic declines recorded since 2015, Alberta is expected to record the fastest provincial growth rate in the 2017 calendar year of close to 4%, while the pace of expansion in British Columbia and Ontario diminishes somewhat, to slightly below 3%. Elsewhere, economic growth should remain modest but steady.

In response to Canada's stronger than expected performance this year and its view that the economy is rapidly approaching its economic potential, the Bank of Canada raised short-term interest rates in July, its first increase in 83 months. With temporary downward influences on inflation expected to gradually diminish, the central bank is expected to enact further modest rate increases over the next year. As interest rate differentials between Canadian and U.S. debt instruments likely hold relatively steady, the Canadian dollar is expected to remain in the US77-US80 cents range through the end of 2018.

Key downside risks to the Canadian economy relate to the possibility of a more pronounced than expected slowdown in Canadian housing activity and a period of household deleveraging. Another risk relates to trade policy. Although an orderly renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) appears most likely, a further heightening of uncertainty resulting from prolonged negotiations may delay or discourage investment intentions among Canadian (and U.S.) firms. In addition, a number of geo-political risks, including heightened tensions surrounding North Korea and negotiations over the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union, may result in increased global uncertainty and volatility.

HOW OUR BUSINESSES PERFORMED

 

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

Results of each business segment reflect revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities generated by the businesses in that segment. Where applicable, the Bank measures and evaluates the performance of each segment based on adjusted results and ROE, and for those segments the Bank indicates that the measure is adjusted. For further details, refer to the "How the Bank Reports" section of this document, the "Business Focus" section in the 2016 MD&A, and Note 30 of the Bank's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2016. For information concerning the Bank's measure of ROE, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, refer to the "How We Performed" section of this document.

Net interest income within Wholesale Banking is calculated on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB), which means that the value of non-taxable or tax-exempt income, including dividends, is adjusted to its equivalent before-tax value. Using TEB allows the Bank to measure income from all securities and loans consistently and makes for a more meaningful comparison of net interest income with similar institutions. The TEB increase to net interest income and provision for income taxes reflected in Wholesale Banking's results are reversed in the Corporate segment. The TEB adjustment for the quarter was $59 million, compared with $79 million in the third quarter last year, and $457 million in the prior quarter. The TEB adjustment for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, was $628 million, compared with $226 million the same period last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q2 2017

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

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

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

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

PCL was $742 million, a decrease of $6 million, or 1%, compared with the same period last year. Personal banking PCL was $712 million, a decrease of $13 million, or 2%. Business banking PCL was $30 million, an increase of $7 million. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.26%, a decrease of 2 bps, compared with the same period last year.

Insurance claims and related expenses were $1,631 million, a decrease of $246 million, or 13%, compared with the same period last year, reflecting changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar decrease to non-interest income, prior year impact of the Fort McMurray wildfire and less severe weather conditions, and more favourable prior years' claims development.

Non-interest expenses were $6,662 million, an increase of $355 million, or 6%, compared with the same period last year. The increase reflects higher employee related expenses including revenue-based variable expenses in the wealth business, higher investment in strategic technology initiatives, partially offset by productivity savings, and the sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe.

The efficiency ratio was 42.5%, compared with 41.9% for the same period last year.

U.S. Retail net income for the quarter was $901 million (US$678 million), which included net income of $783 million (US$590 million) from the U.S. Retail Bank and $118 million (US$88 million) from the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade. U.S. Retail earnings increased US$69 million, or 11%, compared with the third quarter last year. U.S. Retail Canadian dollar earnings were up $113 million, or 14%. The annualized ROE for the quarter was 10.3%, compared with 9.5% in the third quarter last year.

The contribution from TD Ameritrade of US$88 million was down US$9 million, or 9%, compared with the third quarter last year, reflecting higher operating expenses this quarter, and favourable tax items in the prior year, partially offset by higher asset-based revenue, and trading volumes.

U.S. Retail Bank net income for the quarter increased US$78 million, or 15%, compared with the third quarter last year, due to higher loan and deposit volumes, a more favourable interest rate environment, and fee income growth, partially offset by higher expenses.

U.S. Retail Bank revenue is derived from personal and business banking, wealth management services, and investments. Revenue for the quarter was US$1,999 million, an increase of US$189 million, or 10%, compared with the third quarter last year. Net interest income increased US$103 million, or 8%, primarily due to continuing growth in loan and deposit volumes, and a more favourable interest rate environment, partially offset by the prior year accounting impact from balance sheet management activities, which was largely offset in Non-interest income. Margin on average earning assets was 3.14%, or flat, due to the same accounting impact. Excluding this impact, margin was up 11 bps, primarily reflecting higher interest rates as well as better product margins, partially offset by balance sheet mix and accretion. Non-interest income increased US$86 million, or 19%, reflecting fee income growth in personal banking and wealth management, and the prior year accounting impact from balance sheet management activities.

Average loan volumes increased US$6 billion, or 5%, compared with the third quarter last year, due to growth in personal loans of 4%, and business loans of 5%. Average deposit volumes increased US$16 billion, or 7%, reflecting 5% growth in business deposit volumes, 8% growth in personal deposit volumes, and a 9% increase in sweep deposit volume from TD Ameritrade.

AUA were US$18 billion as at July 31, 2017, an increase of 9%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily due to higher private banking balances. AUM were US$61 billion as at July 31, 2017, a decrease of 17%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily due to the previously disclosed outflow from an institutional account.

PCL for the quarter was US$137 million, an increase of US$7 million, or 5%, compared with the third quarter last year. Personal banking PCL was US$120 million, an increase of US$40 million, or 50%, primarily reflecting mix in auto lending, and growth in credit cards and other personal products. Business banking PCL was US$16 million, a decrease of US$33 million, primarily due to slower growth in business loans. PCL associated with debt securities classified as loans was US$1 million, flat compared with the third quarter last year. Net impaired loans, excluding ACI loans and debt securities classified as loans, were US$1.4 billion, a decrease of US$76 million, or 5%. Net impaired loans, excluding ACI loans and debt securities classified as loans, as a percentage of total loans were 1.0% as at July 31, 2017, a decrease of 10 bps compared with the third quarter last year.

Non-interest expenses for the quarter were US$1,113 million, an increase of US$55 million, or 5%, compared with the third quarter last year, reflecting higher employee costs, charges for store closures, and volume growth, partially offset by productivity savings.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter was 55.7%, compared with 58.5% in the third quarter last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $150 million, compared with a reported net loss of $241 million in the third quarter last year. Reported net loss decreased primarily due to higher contribution from Other items and lower net corporate expenses this quarter, partially offset by loss on sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe reported as an item of note. The higher contribution from Other items was largely due to provisions for incurred but not identified credit losses recognized in the third quarter last year, higher revenue from treasury and balance sheet management activities this quarter and higher tax charges recognized in the third quarter last year. Net corporate expenses were lower reflecting the positive impact of tax adjustments in the current quarter and timing of certain other expenses. Adjusted net loss was $54 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $183 million in the third quarter last year.

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q2 2017

Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $150 million, compared with a reported net loss of $160 million in the prior quarter. Reported net loss decreased primarily due to lower net corporate expenses and higher contribution from Other items this quarter, partially offset by loss on sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe this quarter reported as an item of note. Higher contribution from Other items was primarily due to higher tax charges and expense provisions recognized in the last quarter. Net corporate expenses were lower reflecting the positive impact of tax adjustments in the current quarter and timing of certain other expenses. Adjusted net loss was $54 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $102 million in the prior quarter.

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

Corporate segment's reported net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, was $410 million, compared with a reported net loss of $793 million in the same period last year. The decrease in reported net loss was attributable to higher contribution from Other items and lower net corporate expenses in the current period, impairment of goodwill, non-financial assets, and other charges relating to the Direct Investing business in Europe reported as an item of note in the second quarter last year and higher gains on change in fair value of derivatives hedging the reclassified available-for-sale securities portfolio in the first quarter this year, partially offset by loss on sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe this quarter reported as an item of note. Higher contribution from Other items was primarily due to higher provisions for incurred but not identified credit losses recognized in the prior period and higher revenue from treasury and balance sheet management activities in the current period. Net corporate expenses were lower reflecting the positive impact of tax adjustments in the current period and timing of certain other expenses. Adjusted net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, was $231 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $481 million in the same period last year.

2During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Bank recorded restructuring charges of $349 million ($243 million after tax) on a net basis. The restructuring initiatives were intended to reduce costs and manage expenses in a sustainable manner and to achieve greater operational efficiencies. These measures included process redesign and business restructuring, retail branch and real estate optimization, and organizational review. The restructuring charges have been recorded as an adjustment to net income within the Corporate segment.
3On October 1, 2015, the Bank acquired substantially all of Nordstrom's existing U.S. Visa and private label consumer credit card portfolio and became the primary issuer of Nordstrom credit cards in the U.S. The transaction was treated as an asset acquisition and the difference on the date of acquisition of the transaction price over the fair value of assets acquired has been recorded in Non-interest income. In addition, the Bank incurred set-up, conversion and other one-time costs related to integration of the acquired credit cards and related program agreement. These amounts are included as an item of note in the U.S. Retail segment.

Total assets were $1,202 billion as at July 31, 2017, an increase of $25 billion, or 2%, from October 31, 2016. The increase was primarily in securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements of $34 billion, available-for-sale securities of $16 billion, and loans net of allowances for loan losses of $7 billion, partially offset by a decrease in held-to-maturity securities of $13 billion, interest bearing deposits with banks of $8 billion, derivatives of $9 billion, and other amounts received from brokers, dealers and clients of $1 billion. The foreign currency translation impact on total assets as at July 31, 2017, primarily in the U.S. Retail segment, was a decrease of $34 billion, or 3%.

 

Interest bearing deposits with banks decreased $8 billion primarily due to lower volumes.

 

Derivatives decreased $9 billion primarily due to the current interest rate and foreign exchange environment, partially offset by netting of positions.

 

Available-for-sale securities increased $16 billion primarily due to new investments, net of maturities and foreign currency translation.

 

Held-to-maturity securities decreased $13 billion primarily due to maturities and foreign currency translation, partially offset by new investments.

 

Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements increased $34 billion primarily due to an increase in trading volumes.

 

Loans (net of allowance for loan losses) increased $7 billion primarily due to growth in personal loans across all segments, partially offset by foreign currency translation.

Total liabilities were $1,129 billion as at July 31, 2017, an increase of $26 billion, or 2%, from October 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase in obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements of $29 billion, trading deposits of $2 billion, partially offset by a decrease in derivatives of $4 billion. The foreign currency translation impact on total liabilities as at July 31, 2017, primarily in the U.S. Retail segment, was a decrease of $33 billion, or 3%.

 

Trading deposits increased $2 billion primarily due to higher issuance of certificates of deposits.

 

Derivatives decreased $4 billion primarily due to the current interest rate and foreign exchange environment, partially offset by netting of positions.

 

Obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements increased $29 billion primarily due to higher trading volumes.

 

Equity was $73 billion as at July 31, 2017, a decrease of $1 billion, or 1%, from October 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily in accumulated other comprehensive income reflecting losses on cash flow hedges and foreign currency translation, partially offset by higher retained earnings.

CREDIT PORTFOLIO QUALITY

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q3 2016

Gross impaired loans excluding debt securities classified as loans, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) covered loans, and other ACI loans were $2,985 million as at July 31, 2017, a decrease of $482 million, or 14%, compared with the third quarter last year. Canadian Retail gross impaired loans decreased $162 million, or 16%, compared with the third quarter last year driven by resolutions outpacing formations in the Canadian real estate secured lending portfolio. U.S. Retail gross impaired loans decreased $146 million, or 6%, compared with the third quarter last year primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange. Wholesale Banking gross impaired loans decreased $174 million, or 82%, compared with the third quarter last year due to resolutions in the oil and gas sector. Impaired loans net of allowance were $2,330 million as at July 31, 2017, a decrease of $456 million, or 16%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily due to resolutions outpacing new credit impaired formations in the Canadian real estate secured lending and Wholesale Banking portfolios, and the impact of foreign exchange.

The allowance for credit losses of $4,217 million as at July 31, 2017, was composed of a counterparty-specific allowance of $272 million, a collectively assessed allowance for individually insignificant impaired loans of $547 million, and an allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses of $3,398 million.

The counterparty-specific allowance decreased $146 million, or 35%, compared with the third quarter last year primarily due to decreases in the debt securities classified as loans and Wholesale Banking portfolio and the impact of foreign exchange. The collectively assessed allowance for individually insignificant impaired loans increased $15 million, or 3%, compared with the third quarter last year. The allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses increased $118 million, or 4%, compared with the third quarter last year primarily due to increases in the U.S. business and government portfolios and the U.S. credit card portfolio, offset by the impact of foreign exchange.

The allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses is established to recognize losses that management estimates to have occurred at the portfolio level as at the balance sheet date for loans not yet specifically identified as impaired. The Bank periodically reviews the methodology for calculating the allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses. As part of this review, certain revisions may be made to reflect updates in statistically derived loss estimates for the Bank's recent loss experience of its credit portfolios, which may cause the Bank to provide or release amounts from the allowance for incurred but not identified losses. During the third quarter of 2017, certain refinements were made to the methodology, the cumulative effect of which was not material and which was included in the change for the quarter.

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2017 vs. Q2 2017

Gross impaired loans excluding debt securities classified as loans, FDIC covered loans, and other ACI loans decreased $305 million, or 9%, compared with the prior quarter driven by resolutions outpacing formations in the Canadian real estate secured lending portfolio and the impact of foreign exchange. Impaired loans net of allowance decreased $294 million, or 11%, compared with the prior quarter primarily due to resolutions outpacing new credit impaired formations in the Canadian real estate secured lending portfolio and the impact of foreign exchange.

The counterparty-specific allowance decreased $8 million, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter. The collectively assessed allowance for individually insignificant impaired loans decreased $27 million, or 5%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange. The allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses decreased $199 million, or 6%, compared with the prior quarter primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange.

Real Estate Secured Lending

Retail real estate secured lending includes mortgages and lines of credit to North American consumers to satisfy financing needs including home purchases and refinancing. While the Bank retains first lien on the majority of properties held as security, there is a small portion of loans with second liens, but most of these are behind a TD mortgage that is in first position. In Canada, credit policies ensure that the combined exposure of all uninsured facilities on one property does not exceed 80% of the collateral value at origination. Lending at a higher loan-to-value ratio is permitted by legislation but requires default insurance. This insurance is contractual coverage for the life of eligible facilities and protects the Bank's real estate secured lending portfolio against potential losses caused by borrowers' default. The Bank also purchases default insurance on lower loan-to-value ratio loans. The insurance is provided by either government-backed entities or approved private mortgage insurers. In the U.S., for residential mortgage originations, mortgage insurance is usually obtained from either government-backed entities or approved private mortgage insurers when the loan-to-value exceeds 80% of the collateral value at origination.

The Bank regularly performs stress tests on its real estate lending portfolio as part of its overall stress testing program. This is done with a view to determine the extent to which the portfolio would be vulnerable to a severe downturn in economic conditions. The effect of severe changes in house prices, interest rates, and unemployment levels are among the factors considered when assessing the impact on credit losses and the Bank's overall profitability. A variety of portfolio segments, including dwelling type and geographical regions, are examined during the exercise to determine whether specific vulnerabilities exist. Based on the Bank's most recent reviews, potential losses on all real estate secured lending exposures are considered manageable.

Non-Prime Loans

As at July 31, 2017, the Bank had approximately $2.5 billion (October 31, 2016 – $2.6 billion) gross exposure to non-prime loans, which primarily consists of automotive loans originated in Canada. The credit loss rate, an indicator of credit quality, and defined as the quarterly PCL divided by average month-end loan balances, was approximately 5.55% on an annual basis (October 31, 2016 – 6.79%). PCL primarily declined due to lower provisions for individually insignificant impaired loans, reflecting the economic recovery in oil and gas impacted regions. These loans are recorded at amortized cost.

3Other European exposure is distributed across 10 countries (October 31, 2016 10 countries), each of which has a net exposure including loans and commitments, derivatives, repos and securities lending, and trading and investment portfolio below $1.0 billion as at July 31, 2017, and October 31, 2016.

 

 

Of the Bank's European exposure, approximately 98% (October 31, 2016 – 98%) is to counterparties in countries rated AA or better by either Moody's Investor Services (Moody's) or Standard & Poor's (S&P), with the majority of this exposure to the sovereigns themselves and to well-rated, systemically important banks in these countries. Derivatives and securities repurchase transactions are completed on a collateralized basis. The vast majority of derivatives exposure is offset by cash collateral while the repurchase transactions are backed largely by government securities rated A+ or better by either Moody's or S&P, and cash. Additionally, the Bank has exposure to well-rated corporate issuers in Europe where the Bank also does business with their related entities in North America.

In addition to the European exposure identified above, the Bank also has $9.4 billion (October 31, 2016 – $8.9 billion) of direct exposure to supranational entities with European sponsorship and indirect exposure including $1.1 billion (October 31, 2016 – $0.2 billion) of European collateral from non-European counterparties related to repurchase and securities lending transactions that are margined daily.

As part of the Bank's usual credit risk and exposure monitoring processes, all exposures are reviewed on a regular basis. European exposures are reviewed monthly or more frequently as circumstances dictate and are periodically stress tested to identify and understand any potential vulnerabilities. Based on the most recent reviews, all European exposures are considered manageable.

 

Exposure to ACQUIRED CREDIT-IMPAIRED LOANS

ACI loans are generally loans with evidence of incurred credit loss where it is probable at the purchase date that the Bank will be unable to collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the acquisition date may include statistics such as past due status and credit scores. ACI loans are initially recorded at fair value, and as a result, no allowance for credit losses is recorded on the date of acquisition.

ACI loans originated from FDIC-assisted transactions, including covered loans subject to loss sharing agreements with the FDIC and the South Financial acquisition. The following table presents the unpaid principal balance, carrying value, counterparty-specific allowance, allowance for individually insignificant impaired loans, and the net carrying value as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance for ACI loans.

2Management concluded as part of the Bank's assessment of the ACI loans that it was probable that higher than estimated principal credit losses would result in a decrease in expected cash flows subsequent to acquisition. As a result, counterparty-specific and individually insignificant allowances have been recognized.
3Carrying value does not include the effect of the FDIC loss sharing agreement.

 

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, the Bank recorded a recovery of $9 million and $25 million, respectively, in PCL on ACI loans (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 – $8 million and $24 million, respectively). The following table provides key credit statistics by past due contractual status and geographic concentrations based on ACI loans unpaid principal balance.

Exposure to Non-Agency Collateralized Mortgage Obligations

As a result of the acquisition of Commerce Bancorp Inc., the Bank has exposure to non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) collateralized primarily by Alt-A and Prime Jumbo mortgages, most of which are pre-payable fixed-rate mortgages without rate reset features. At the time of acquisition, the portfolio was recorded at fair value, which became the new cost basis for this portfolio. Refer to the "Exposure to Non-Agency Collateralized Mortgage Obligations" section of the 2016 Annual Report for further details on CMOs.

The allowance for losses that are incurred but not identified as at July 31, 2017, was US$26 million (October 31, 2016 – US$41 million).

The following table presents the par value, carrying value, allowance for loan losses, and the net carrying value as a percentage of the par value for the non-agency CMO portfolio as at July 31, 2017, and October 31, 2016. As at July 31, 2017, the balance of the remaining acquisition-related incurred loss was US$115 million (October 31, 2016 – US$160 million). This amount is reflected in the following table as a component of the discount from par to carrying value.

During the second quarter of 2009, the Bank re-securitized a portion of the non-agency CMO portfolio. As part of the on-balance sheet re-securitization, new credit ratings were obtained for the re-securitized securities that better reflected the discount on acquisition and the Bank's risk inherent on the entire portfolio, resulting in a net capital benefit. The net capital benefit expired on October 31, 2016. During the first quarter of 2017, the Bank unwound the re-securitizations and sold a portion of the non-agency CMO portfolio resulting in a gain on sale, recognized in other income within the Corporate segment. The impact of the sale on the portfolio and related allowance for loan losses is reflected in the table above.

CAPITAL POSITION

 

REGULATORY CAPITAL

Capital requirements of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) are commonly referred to as Basel III. Under Basel III, Total Capital consists of three components, namely CET1, Additional Tier 1, and Tier 2 Capital. Risk sensitive regulatory capital ratios are calculated by dividing CET1, Tier 1, and Total Capital by their respective RWA, inclusive of any minimum requirements outlined under the Basel I floor. In 2015, Basel III implemented a non-risk sensitive leverage ratio to act as a supplementary measure to the risk-sensitive capital requirements. The objective of the leverage ratio is to constrain the build-up of excess leverage in the banking sector. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Tier 1 Capital by leverage exposure which is primarily comprised of on-balance sheet assets with adjustments made to derivative and securities financing transaction exposures, and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet exposures. TD continues to manage its regulatory capital in accordance with the Basel III Capital Framework as discussed in the "Capital Position" section of the 2016 Annual Report.

 

OSFI's Capital Requirements under Basel III

OSFI's Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) guideline details how the Basel III capital rules apply to Canadian banks.

Effective January 1, 2014, the CVA capital charge is to be phased in over a five year period based on a scalar approach. For fiscal 2017, the scalars for inclusion of the CVA for CET1, Tier 1, and Total Capital RWA are 72%, 77%, and 81%. This scalar increases to 80% in 2018 and 100% in 2019 for the CET1 calculation. A similar set of scalar phase-in percentages apply to the Tier 1 and Total Capital ratio calculations.

Effective January 1, 2013, all newly issued non-common Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital instruments must include non-viability contingent capital (NVCC) provisions to qualify as regulatory capital. NVCC provisions require the conversion of non-common capital instruments into a variable number of common shares of the Bank upon the occurrence of a trigger event as defined in the guidance. Existing non-common Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital instruments which do not include NVCC provisions are non-qualifying capital instruments and are subject to a phase-out period which began in 2013 and ends in 2022.

The CAR guideline contains two methodologies for capital ratio calculation: (1) the "transitional" method; and (2) the "all-in" method. The minimum CET1, Tier 1, and Total Capital ratios, based on the "all-in" method, are 4.5%, 6%, and 8%, respectively. OSFI expects Canadian banks to include an additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, effectively raising the CET1, Tier 1 Capital, and Total Capital ratio minimum requirements to 7%, 8.5%, and 10.5%, respectively.

In March 2013, OSFI designated the six major Canadian banks as domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs), for which a 1% common equity capital surcharge is in effect from January 1, 2016. As a result, the six Canadian banks designated as D-SIBs, including TD, are required to meet an "all-in" Pillar 1 target CET1, Tier 1, and Total Capital ratios of 8%, 9.5%, and 11.5%, respectively.

At the discretion of OSFI, a common equity countercyclical capital buffer (CCB) within a range of 0% to 2.5% may be imposed. The primary objective of the CCB is to protect the banking sector against future potential losses resulting from periods of excess aggregate credit growth that have often been associated with the build-up of system-wide risk. The CCB is an extension of the capital conservation buffer and must be met with CET1 capital. The CCB is calculated using the weighted-average of the buffers deployed in Canada and across BCBS member jurisdictions and selected non-member jurisdictions to which the bank has private sector credit exposures.

Effective the first quarter of 2017, OSFI required D-SIBs and foreign bank subsidiaries in Canada to comply with the CCB regime, phased-in according to the transitional arrangements. As a result, the maximum countercyclical buffer relating to foreign private sector credit exposures will be capped at 1.25% of total RWA in the first quarter of 2017 and increase each subsequent year by an additional 0.625%, to reach its final maximum of 2.5% of total RWA in the first quarter of 2019. As at July 31, 2017, the CCB is only applicable to private sector credit exposures located in Hong Kong, Sweden, and Norway. Based on the allocation of exposures and buffers currently in place in Hong Kong, Sweden, and Norway, the Bank's countercyclical buffer requirement is 0% as at July 31, 2017.

The leverage ratio is calculated as per OSFI's Leverage Requirements guideline and has a regulatory minimum requirement of 3%.

 

The following table provides details of TD's regulatory capital position.

1Each capital ratio has its own RWA measure due to the OSFI-prescribed scalar for inclusion of the CVA. For fiscal 2016, the scalars for inclusion of CVA for Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1, and Total Capital RWA were 64%, 71%, and 77%, respectively. For fiscal 2017, the scalars are 72%, 77%, and 81%.

 

As at July 31, 2017, the Bank's CET1, Tier 1, and Total Capital ratios were 11.0%, 12.8%, and 15.6%, respectively. Compared with the Bank's CET1 Capital ratio of 10.4% at October 31, 2016, the CET1 Capital ratio, as at July 31, 2017, increased due to organic capital growth, lower RWA (excluding RWA attributable to the Basel I regulatory floor), and actuarial gains on employee benefit plans primarily due to an increase in long term interest rates, partially offset by an increase in RWA attributable to the Basel I regulatory floor, and common shares repurchased. As at July 31, 2017, the Basel I regulatory floor was $21.5 billion in RWA, compared with $5.3 billion as at October 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to Basel III parameter updates that do not similarly reduce the Basel I RWA.

 

As at July 31, 2017, the Bank's leverage ratio was 4.1%. Compared with the Bank's leverage ratio of 4.0% at October 31, 2016, the leverage ratio, as at July 31, 2017, increased due to capital generation and preferred share issuance, partially offset by business growth in all segments.

Future Regulatory Capital Developments

Future regulatory capital developments, in addition to those described in the "Future Changes in Basel" section of the 2016 Annual Report, are noted below.

In July 2017, OSFI extended the timeline for Canadian implementation for the adoption of the Minimum capital requirements for market risk (Fundamental Review of the Trading Book) rules, by at least one year, to no earlier than the first quarter of 2021. The timeline was extended due to complexities and uncertainties associated with implementation of the requirements.

In July 2017, BCBS and Board of the International Organization of Securities Commissions released a consultative document on the criteria for "simple, transparent, and comparable" (STC) securitizations. In July 2017, BCBS also released a consultative document related to the capital treatment for STC short-term securitizations. These two documents set out a proposed approach to incorporate short-term STC criteria into the revised securitization framework issued in July 2016. Short-term securitization exposures that meet the STC criteria qualify for reduced minimum capital requirements. The revised securitization framework is expected to be effective for the Bank in the first quarter of 2019.

In June 2017, OSFI issued for comment a draft guideline on Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC). The guideline establishes two minimum standards, the risk-based TLAC ratio and the TLAC leverage ratio, which form part of the framework for assessing whether D-SIBs maintain minimum capacity to absorb losses. OSFI anticipates that D-SIBs will be expected to maintain a minimum risk-based TLAC ratio of at least 21.5% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum TLAC leverage ratio of at least 6.75%, effective the first quarter of 2022. D-SIBs will also be expected to hold buffers above the minimum TLAC ratios.

In April 2017, OSFI issued the final guidelines on Phase 1 of the Pillar 3 Disclosure Requirements. This guideline clarifies OSFI's expectations regarding domestic implementation by federally regulated deposit-taking institutions of the Revised Pillar 3 Disclosure Requirements (Revised Basel Pillar 3 standard) issued by the BCBS in January 2015. The revised standard requires disclosure of fixed format tables and templates to provide comparability and consistency of capital and risk disclosures amongst banks with the focus on improving the transparency of the internal model-based approaches that banks use to calculate RWA. The guideline replaces OSFI's November 2007 Advisory on Pillar 3 Disclosure Requirements. D-SIBs are expected to prospectively disclose the reporting requirements under the Revised Basel Pillar 3 standard by the fourth quarter of 2018.

In March 2017, BCBS issued the final standard on Phase 2 of the Pillar 3 Disclosure Requirements. The final standard consolidates all existing and prospective BCBS disclosure requirements into the Pillar 3 framework, prescribes enhanced disclosure of key prudential metrics, and for banks which record prudent valuation adjustments, a new disclosure requirement for a granular breakdown of how the adjustments are calculated. The standard also includes new disclosure requirements for the total loss-absorbing capital regime for global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) and revised disclosure requirements for market risk. The implementation date for these disclosure requirements will be determined when OSFI issues Phase 2 of the Pillar 3 Disclosure Requirements.

The BCBS has commenced Phase 3, the final phase of the Pillar 3 review. The objectives of Phase 3 is to develop disclosure requirements for standardized RWA to benchmark internally modelled capital requirements, asset encumbrances, operational risk, and ongoing policy reforms.

In March 2017, BCBS released the second consultative document on identification and management of step-in risk. Step-in risk is the risk that the Bank decides to provide financial support to an unconsolidated entity that is facing stress, in the absence of, or in excess of, any contractual obligations. The framework entails no automatic Pillar 1 capital or liquidity charge additional to the existing Basel standards. The implementation date is expected to be the fourth quarter of 2019.

In March 2017, BCBS issued the final standard "Regulatory treatment of accounting provisions – interim approach and transitional arrangements" given the upcoming accounting provisioning standard under IFRS 9. The standard retains, for an interim period, the current regulatory treatment of accounting provisions under the standardized and internal rating-based approaches. The BCBS has determined that jurisdictions may introduce a transitional arrangement for the impact on regulatory capital from the implementation of IFRS 9 and outlines the requirements for jurisdictions choosing to adopt a transitional arrangement. In August 2017, OSFI released for public consultation revisions to the CAR guideline for implementation in the first quarter of 2018. The proposed CAR guideline also clarifies that the higher of the D-SIB and G-SIB surcharges will apply if, and when, a Canadian bank is designated a G-SIB. 

 

Normal Course Issuer Bid

As approved by the Board on August 30, 2017, the Bank announced its intention to amend its normal course issuer bid (NCIB) for up to an additional 20 million of its common shares, subject to the approval of OSFI and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). The timing and amount of any purchases under the program are subject to regulatory approvals and to management discretion based on factors such as market conditions and capital adequacy.

On March 16, 2017, the Bank announced that the TSX and OSFI approved the Bank's previously announced NCIB to repurchase for cancellation up to 15 million of the Bank's common shares. On March 28, 2017, in connection with its NCIB, the Bank announced its intention to purchase for cancellation up to 14.5 million of its common shares pursuant to a specific share repurchase program. During the quarter ended April 30, 2017, the Bank completed the purchase of common shares pursuant to the specific share repurchase program, which shares were purchased at a discount to the prevailing market price of the Bank's common shares on the TSX at the time of purchase. During the three months ended April 30, 2017, the Bank repurchased 15 million common shares under its NCIB at an average price of $58.65 per share for a total amount of $880 million.

On December 9, 2015, the Bank announced that the TSX and OSFI approved the Bank's previously announced NCIB to repurchase for cancellation up to 9.5 million of the Bank's common shares. On January 11, 2016, in connection with its NCIB, the Bank announced its intention to purchase for cancellation up to 3 million of its common shares pursuant to private agreements between the Bank and an arm's length third party seller. During the quarter ended January 31, 2016, the Bank completed the purchase of common shares by way of private agreements, which shares were purchased at a discount to the prevailing market price of the Bank's common shares on the TSX at the time of purchase. During the three months ended January 31, 2016, the Bank repurchased 9.5 million common shares under its NCIB at an average price of $51.23 per share for a total amount of $487 million.

Counterparty credit risk is comprised of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, repo-style transactions, trades cleared through central counterparties, and CVA RWA which is phased in at 72% for fiscal 2017.

Non-counterparty credit risk includes loans and advances to individuals and small business retail customers, wholesale and commercial corporate customers, and banks and governments, as well as holdings of debt, equity securities, and other assets including prepaid expenses, deferred income taxes, land, building, equipment, and other depreciable property.

The Book size category consists of organic changes in book size and composition (including new business and maturing loans), and for the third quarter of 2017, increased due to growth in various retail portfolios and commercial exposures in the U.S. Retail and Canadian Retail Segments.

The Book quality category includes quality of book changes caused by experience such as underlying customer behaviour or demographics, including changes through model calibrations/realignments, and for the third quarter of 2017, decreased mainly due to savings from the annual update of non-retail credit risk parameters.

The Model updates category relates to model implementation, changes in model scope, or any changes to address model malfunctions, and for the third quarter of 2017, decreased due to model updates in Canadian Retail.

The Methodology and policy category impacts reflect newly adopted methodology changes to the calculations driven by regulatory policy changes, such as new regulations.

Foreign exchange movements are mainly due to a change in the U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate for the U.S. portfolios in the U.S. Retail and Wholesale Banking segments.

The Other category consists of items not described in the above categories, including changes in exposures not included under advanced or standardized methodologies, such as prepaid expenses, deferred income taxes, land, building, equipment and other depreciable property, and other assets.

MANAGING RISK

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Growing profitability in financial services involves selectively taking and managing risks within TD's risk appetite. The Bank's goal is to earn a stable and sustainable rate of return for every dollar of risk it takes, while putting significant emphasis on investing in TD's businesses to ensure it can meet its future strategic objectives.

TD's businesses and operations are exposed to a broad number of risks that have been identified and defined in the Enterprise Risk Framework. The Bank's tolerance to those risks is defined in the Enterprise Risk Appetite which has been developed within a comprehensive framework that takes into consideration current conditions in which the Bank operates and the impact that emerging risks will have on TD's strategy and risk profile. The Bank's risk appetite states that it takes risks required to build its business, but only if those risks: (1) fit the business strategy, and can be understood and managed; (2) do not expose the enterprise to any significant single loss events; TD does not 'bet the bank' on any single acquisition, business, or product; and (3) do not risk harming the TD brand. Each business is responsible for setting and aligning its individual risk appetites with that of the enterprise based on a thorough examination of the specific risks to which it is exposed.

TD considers it critical to assess regularly the operating environment and highlight top and emerging risks within the individual business and enterprise that could have a significant impact on the Bank. These risks can be internal or external, impacting the financial results, reputation, or sustainability of the business. They may also represent exposures or potential events which may or may not materialize. These risks are identified, discussed, and actioned by senior risk leaders and reported quarterly to the Risk Committee of the Board. Specific plans to mitigate top and emerging risks are prepared, monitored, and adjusted as required.

 

The Bank's risk governance structure and risk management approach have not substantially changed from that described in the 2016 MD&A. Additional information on risk factors can be found in the 2016 MD&A under the heading "Risk Factors and Management". For a complete discussion of the risk governance structure and the risk management approach, refer to the "Managing Risk" section in the 2016 MD&A.

 

The shaded sections of this MD&A represent a discussion relating to market and liquidity risks and form an integral part of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended July 31, 2017.

 

CREDIT RISK

Gross credit risk exposure, also referred to as exposure at default (EAD), is the total amount the Bank is exposed to at the time of default of a loan and is measured before counterparty-specific provisions or write-offs. Gross credit risk exposure does not reflect the effects of credit risk mitigation and includes both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposures. On-balance sheet exposures consist primarily of outstanding loans, acceptances, non-trading securities, derivatives, and certain other repo-style transactions. Off-balance sheet exposures consist primarily of undrawn commitments, guarantees, and certain other repo-style transactions.

Gross credit risk exposures for the two approaches the Bank uses to measure credit risk are included in the following table.

MARKET RISK

Market risk capital is calculated using internal models and comprises three components: (1) Value-at-Risk (VaR); (2) Stressed VaR; and (3) Incremental Risk Charge (IRC). In addition, the Bank calculates market risk capital using the Standardized approach for a limited number of portfolios.

 

Market Risk Linkage to the Balance Sheet

The following table provides a breakdown of the Bank's balance sheet into assets and liabilities exposed to trading and non-trading market risks. Market risk of assets and liabilities included in the calculation of VaR and other metrics used for regulatory market risk capital purposes is classified as trading market risk.

Calculating VaR

TD computes total VaR on a daily basis by combining the General Market Risk (GMR) and Idiosyncratic Debt Specific Risk (IDSR) associated with the Bank's trading positions.

GMR is determined by creating a distribution of potential changes in the market value of the current portfolio using historical simulation. The Bank values the current portfolio using the market price and rate changes of the most recent 259 trading days for equity, interest rate, foreign exchange, credit, and commodity products. GMR is computed as the threshold level that portfolio losses are not expected to exceed more than one out of every 100 trading days. A one-day holding period is used for GMR calculation, which is scaled up to ten days for regulatory capital calculation purposes.

IDSR measures idiosyncratic (single-name) credit spread risk for credit exposures in the trading portfolio using Monte Carlo simulation. The IDSR model is based on the historical behaviour of five-year idiosyncratic credit spreads. Similar to GMR, IDSR is computed as the threshold level that portfolio losses are not expected to exceed more than one out of every 100 trading days. IDSR is measured for a ten-day holding period.

 

The following graph discloses daily one-day VaR usage and trading-related revenue within Wholesale Banking. Trading-related revenue is the total of trading revenue reported in non-interest income and the net interest income on trading positions reported in net interest income, and is reported on a taxable equivalent basis. For the quarter ended July 31, 2017, there were 6 days of trading losses and trading-related revenue was positive for 91% of the trading days, reflecting normal trading activity. Losses in the quarter did not exceed VaR on any trading day.

 

 

VaR is a valuable risk measure but it should be used in the context of its limitations, for example:

VaR uses historical data to estimate future events, which limits its forecasting abilities;
it does not provide information on losses beyond the selected confidence level; and
it assumes that all positions can be liquidated during the holding period used for VaR calculation.

 

The Bank continuously improves its VaR methodologies and incorporates new risk measures in line with market conventions, industry best practices, and regulatory requirements.

To mitigate some of the shortcomings of VaR, the Bank uses additional metrics designed for risk management and capital purposes. These include Stressed VaR, IRC, Stress Testing Framework, as well as limits based on the sensitivity to various market risk factors.

 

Calculating Stressed VaR

In addition to VaR, the Bank also calculates Stressed VaR, which includes Stressed GMR and Stressed IDSR. Stressed VaR is designed to measure the adverse impact that potential changes in market rates and prices could have on the value of a portfolio over a specified period of stressed market conditions. Stressed VaR is determined using similar techniques and assumptions in GMR and IDSR VaR. However, instead of using the most recent 259 trading days (one year), the Bank uses a selected year of stressed market conditions. In the third quarter of 2017, Stressed VaR was calculated using the one-year period that began on February 1, 2008. The appropriate historical one-year period to use for Stressed VaR is determined on a quarterly basis. Stressed VaR is a part of regulatory capital requirements.

 

Calculating the Incremental Risk Charge

The IRC is applied to all instruments in the trading book subject to migration and default risk. Migration risk represents the risk of changes in the credit ratings of the Bank's exposures. TD applies a Monte Carlo simulation with a one-year horizon and a 99.9% confidence level to determine IRC, which is consistent with regulatory requirements. IRC is based on a "constant level of risk" assumption, which requires banks to assign a liquidity horizon to positions that are subject to IRC. IRC is a part of regulatory capital requirements.

 

The following table presents the end of quarter, average, high, and low usage of TD's portfolio metrics.

1The aggregate VaR is less than the sum of the VaR of the different risk types due to risk offsets resulting from portfolio diversification.
2Not meaningful. It is not meaningful to compute a diversification effect because the high and low may occur on different days for different risk types.

 

Average VaR remained relatively unchanged compared to the prior quarter. Year-over-year, there was an increase in the average interest rate VaR driven by U.S. interest rate risk positions. The total VaR increased year-over-year due to an increase in IDSR driven by the positions in the government and financial bonds, and an increase in interest rate VaR driven by positions in U.S. interest rate risk positions. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increase in average Stressed VaR was driven by U.S. interest rate risk positions.

 

Average IRC increased year-over-year driven by Canadian bank positions.

 

Validation of VaR Model

The Bank uses a back-testing process to compare the actual and theoretical profit and losses to VaR to ensure that they are consistent with the statistical results of the VaR model. The theoretical profit or loss is generated using the daily price movements on the assumption that there is no change in the composition of the portfolio. Validation of the IRC model must follow a different approach since the one-year horizon and 99.9% confidence level preclude standard back-testing techniques. Instead, key parameters of the IRC model such as transition and correlation matrices are subject to independent validation by benchmarking against external study results or through analysis using internal or external data.

 

Interest Rate Risk

The following graph2 shows the Bank's interest rate risk exposure (as measured by Economic Value at Risk (EVaR)) on all non-trading assets, liabilities, and derivative instruments used for structural interest rate risk management. This reflects the interest rate risk from personal and commercial banking products (loans and deposits) as well as related funding, investments and high quality liquid assets (HQLA). EVaR is defined as the difference between the change in the present value of the Bank's asset portfolio and the change in the present value of the Bank's liability portfolio, including off-balance sheet instruments and assumed profiles for non-rate sensitive products, resulting from an immediate and sustained 100 bps unfavourable interest rate shock. EVaR measures the relative sensitivity of asset and liability cash flow mismatches to changes in long-term interest rates. Closely matching asset and liability cash flows reduces EVaR and mitigates the risk of volatility in future net interest income.

 

 

 
2The footnotes included in Table 35 are also applicable to this graph.

 

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2017 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS Page 33
 

 

The Bank uses derivative financial instruments, wholesale investments, funding instruments, other capital market alternatives, and less frequently product pricing strategies to manage interest rate risk. As at July 31, 2017, an immediate and sustained 100 bps increase in interest rates would have decreased the economic value of shareholders' equity by $230 million (April 30, 2017 – $190 million) after tax. An immediate and sustained 100 bps decrease in interest rates would have decreased the economic value of shareholders' equity by $233 million (April 30, 2017 – $217 million) after tax.

 

The interest risk exposure, or EVaR, in the insurance business is not included in the above graph. Interest rate risk is managed using defined exposure limits and processes, as set and governed by the insurance Board of Directors.

 

The following table shows the sensitivity of the economic value of shareholders' equity (after tax) by currency for those currencies where TD has material exposure.

1Due to the low rate environment EVaR sensitivity has been measured using a 75 bps rate decline for Canadian interest rates for the quarters ended April 30, 2017, and July 31, 2016, corresponding to an interest rate environment that is floored at 0%.
2Due to the low rate environment EVaR sensitivity has been measured using a 50 bps rate decline for U.S. interest rates for the quarter ended July 31, 2016, corresponding to an interest rate environment that is floored at 0%.

 

 

Liquidity Risk

 

The risk of having insufficient cash or collateral to meet financial obligations and an inability to, in a timely manner, raise funding or monetize assets at a non-distressed price. Financial obligations can arise from deposit withdrawals, debt maturities, commitments to provide credit or liquidity support or the need to pledge additional collateral.

 

TD’S LIQUIDITY RISK APPETITE

The Bank maintains a prudent and disciplined approach to managing its potential exposure to liquidity risk. The Bank targets a 90-day survival horizon under a combined Bank-specific and market-wide stress scenario, and a minimum buffer over regulatory requirements prescribed by the OSFI Liquidity Adequacy

Requirements (LAR) guideline. Under the LAR guideline, Canadian banks are required to maintain a Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) at the minimum of 100%. The Bank operates under a prudent funding paradigm with an emphasis on maximizing deposits as a core source of funding, and having a ready access to wholesale funding markets across diversified terms, funding types, and currencies so as to ensure low exposure to a sudden contraction of wholesale funding capacity and to minimize structural liquidity gaps. The Bank also maintains a comprehensive contingency funding plan to enhance preparedness for recovery from potential liquidity stress events. The resultant management strategies and actions comprise an integrated liquidity risk management program that ensures low exposure to identified sources of liquidity risk and compliance with regulatory requirements.

 

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY

The Bank's Asset/Liability & Capital Committee (ALCO) oversees the Bank's liquidity risk management program. It ensures there are effective management structures and policies in place to properly measure and manage liquidity risk. The Global Liquidity Forum (GLF), a subcommittee of the ALCO comprised of senior management from Treasury and Balance Sheet Management (TBSM), Risk Management, Finance, and Wholesale Banking, identifies and monitors TD's liquidity risks. The management of liquidity risk globally is the responsibility of the Head of TBSM, while oversight and challenge is provided by the ALCO and independently by Risk Management. The Risk Committee of the Board regularly reviews the Bank's liquidity position and approves the Bank's Global Liquidity Risk Management Framework bi-annually and the related policies annually. TD's regional operations are responsible for managing their liquidity risk in compliance with the local regulatory requirements and their own regional policies established in alignment with the global policies. In U.S. TD has established TD Group US Holding LLC (TDGUS), as TD's U.S. Intermediate Holding Company (IHC), and a Combined U.S. Operations (CUSO) that consists of the IHC and TD's U.S. branch and agency network. Both TDGUS and CUSO are managed to the U.S. Enhanced Prudential Standards liquidity requirements in addition to the Bank's liquidity management framework.

The Bank's liquidity risk appetite and liquidity risk management approach have not substantially changed from that described in the 2016 Annual Report. For a complete discussion of liquidity risk, refer to the "Liquidity Risk" section in the 2016 Annual report.

 

Liquid assets

The unencumbered liquid assets TD holds to satisfy its liquidity requirements must be high quality securities that the Bank believes can be monetized quickly in stress conditions with minimum loss in market value. Unencumbered liquid assets are represented in a cumulative liquidity gap framework with adjustments made for estimated market or trading depths, settlement timing, and/or other identified impediments to potential sale or pledging. Overall, the Bank expects any reduction in market value of its liquid asset portfolio to be modest given the underlying high credit quality and demonstrated liquidity.

Although TD has access to the Bank of Canada's Emergency Lending Assistance Program, the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window in the U.S., and the European Central Bank standby facilities, TD generally does not consider borrowing capacity at central banks under these types of programs as a source of available liquidity when assessing liquidity positions.

Assets held by TD to satisfy liquidity requirements are summarized in the following tables. The tables do not include assets held within the Bank's insurance businesses due to investment restrictions.

The decrease of $7 billion in total unencumbered liquid assets from October 31, 2016, was primarily due to the impact of foreign currency translation, business activities, and decline in excess liquidity. Liquid assets are held in The Toronto-Dominion Bank and multiple domestic and foreign subsidiaries and branches and are summarized in the following table.

1Asset encumbrance has been analyzed on an individual asset basis. Where a particular asset has been encumbered and TD has holdings of the asset both on-balance sheet and off- balance sheet, for the purpose of this disclosure, the on and off-balance sheet holdings are encumbered in alignment with the business practice.
2Represents assets that have been posted externally to support the Bank's obligations in day-to-day operations, including securities related to repurchase agreements, securities lending, clearing and payment systems, and assets pledged for derivative transactions. Also includes assets that have been pledged supporting Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) activity.
3Assets supporting TD's long-term funding activities, assets pledged against securitization liabilities, and assets held by consolidated securitization vehicles or in pools for covered bond issuance.
4Assets that are considered readily available in their current legal form to generate funding or support collateral needs. This category includes reported FHLB assets that remain unutilized and held-to-maturity securities that are available for collateral purposes however not regularly utilized in practice.
5Assets that cannot be used to support funding or collateral requirements in their current form. This category includes those assets that are potentially eligible as funding program collateral (for example, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) insured mortgages that can be securitized into NHA MBS).
6Securities include trading loans, securities, and other financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale securities, and held-to-maturity securities.
7Assets reported in Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements represent the value of the loans extended and not the value of the collateral received.
8Other assets include amounts receivable from brokers, dealers, and clients.
9Off-balance sheet items include the collateral value from the securities received under reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowing, margin loans, and other client activity. The loan value from the reverse repurchase transactions and margin loans/client activity is deducted from the on-balance sheet Unencumbered – Other category.

 

 

LIQUIDITY Stress Testing and Contingency Funding Plans

In addition to the "Severe Combined Stress" scenario, TD also performs liquidity stress testing on multiple alternate scenarios. These scenarios are a mix of TD-specific events, global macroeconomic stress events, and/or regional/subsidiary specific events designed to test the impact from unique drivers. Liquidity assessments are also part of the Bank's enterprise-wide stress testing program. Results from these stress event scenarios are used to inform the establishment of or make enhancements to policy limits and contingency funding plan actions.

The Bank has liquidity contingency funding plans (CFP) in place at the enterprise level ("Enterprise CFP") and for subsidiaries operating in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions ("Regional CFP"). The Enterprise CFP provides a documented framework for managing unexpected liquidity situations and thus is an integral component of the Bank's overall liquidity risk management program. It outlines different contingency stages based on the severity and duration of the liquidity situation, and identifies recovery actions appropriate for each stage. For each recovery action, it provides key operational steps required to execute the action. Regional CFP recovery actions are aligned to support the Enterprise CFP as well as any identified local liquidity needs during stress. The actions and governance structure proposed in the Enterprise CFP are aligned with the Bank's Crisis Management Recovery Plan.

Credit Ratings

Credit ratings impact TD's borrowing costs and ability to raise funds. Rating downgrades could potentially result in higher financing costs, increased requirement to pledge collateral, reduced access to capital markets, and could also affect the Bank's ability to enter into derivative transactions.

Credit ratings and outlooks provided by rating agencies reflect their views and are subject to change from time-to-time, based on a number of factors including the Bank's financial strength, competitive position, and liquidity, as well as factors not entirely within the Bank's control, including the methodologies used by rating agencies and conditions affecting the overall financial services industry.

1The above ratings are for The Toronto-Dominion Bank legal entity. A more extensive listing, including subsidiaries' ratings, is available on the Bank's website at http://www.td.com/investor/credit.jsp. 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 subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization.

 

 

The Bank regularly reviews the level of increased collateral its trading counterparties would require in the event of a downgrade of TD’s credit rating. The Bank holds liquid assets to ensure TD is able to provide additional collateral required by trading counterparties in the event of a one-notch downgrade in the Bank's senior long-term credit ratings. Severe downgrades could have an impact on liquidity by requiring the Bank to post additional collateral for the benefit of the Bank's trading counterparties. The following table presents the additional collateral that could have been called at the reporting date in the event of one, two, and three-notch downgrades of the Bank's credit ratings.

1The above collateral requirements are based on trading counterparty Credit Support Annex (CSA) and the Bank's credit rating across rating agencies. Where the CSA calls for multiple ratings, downgrades are determined by the change of the lower credit rating.

 

 

LIQUIDITY COVERAGE RATIO

LCR is a Basel III metric calculated as the ratio of the stock of unencumbered HQLA over the net cash outflow requirements in the next 30 days under a hypothetical liquidity stress event. The stress event incorporates a number of idiosyncratic and market-wide shocks, including deposit run-offs, loss of wholesale funding, additional collateral requirements due to credit rating downgrades and market volatility, increases in usage of credit and liquidity facilities provided to the Bank's clients, and other obligations the Bank expects to honour during stress to mitigate reputational risk.

The Bank must maintain the LCR above 100% under normal operating conditions in accordance with the OSFI LAR requirement. The Bank’s LCR is calculated according to the scenario parameters in the LAR guideline, including prescribed HQLA eligibility criteria and haircuts, deposit run-off rates, and other outflow and inflow rates. HQLA eligible for the LCR calculation under the LAR are primarily central bank reserves, sovereign issued or guaranteed securities, and high quality securities issued by non-financial entities.

6Operational deposits from non-SME business customers are deposits kept with the Bank in order to facilitate their access and ability to conduct payment and settlement activities. These activities include clearing, custody, or cash management services.
7Includes uncommitted credit and liquidity facilities, stable value money market mutual funds, outstanding debt securities with remaining maturity greater than 30 days, and other contractual cash outflows. TD has no contractual obligation to buyback these outstanding TD debt securities, and as a result, a 0% outflow rate is applied under the OSFI LAR guideline.
8Adjusted HQLA includes both asset haircut and applicable caps, as prescribed by the LAR (HQLA assets after haircuts are capped at 40% for Level 2 and 15% for Level 2B).
9Adjusted Net Cash Outflows include both inflow and outflow rates and applicable caps, as prescribed by the LAR (inflows are capped at 75% of outflows).

 

 

The Bank’s average LCR of 124% for quarter ended July 31, 2017, continues to meet the regulatory requirement. The ratio remained relatively constant over the prior quarter's LCR with an increase in surplus of $2.2 billion.

The Bank holds a variety of liquid assets commensurate with liquidity needs in the organization. Many of these assets qualify as HQLA under the LAR guideline. The average HQLA of the Bank for the quarter ended July 31, 2017, was $213.0 billion (April 30, 2017 – $210.9 billion), with Level 1 assets representing 84% (April 30, 2017 – 83%). The Bank’s reported HQLA excludes excess HQLA from the U.S. Retail operations, as required by the LAR, to reflect liquidity transfer considerations between U.S. Retail and its affiliates in the Bank as a result of U.S. Federal Reserve Board's regulations. By excluding excess HQLA, the U.S. Retail LCR is effectively capped at 100% prior to total Bank consolidation.

The Bank manages its LCR position with a target minimum that reflects management's liquidity risk tolerances. As described in the "How TD Manages Liquidity Risk" section of the 2016 Annual Report, the Bank manages its HQLA and other liquidity buffers to the higher of TD's 90-day surplus requirement and the target buffers over regulatory requirements from the LCR and the Net Cumulative Cash Flow (NCCF) metrics. As a result, the total stock of HQLA is subject to ongoing rebalancing against the projected liquidity requirements.

FUNDING

The Bank has access to a variety of unsecured and secured funding sources. The Bank’s funding activities are conducted in accordance with the liquidity management policy that requires assets be funded to the appropriate term and to a prudent diversification profile.

The Bank's primary approach to managing funding activities is to maximize the use of deposits raised through personal and commercial banking channels. The following table illustrates the Bank’s large base of personal and commercial, wealth, and TD Ameritrade sweep deposits (collectively, "P&C deposits") that make up over 73% of total funding.

Other deposits 423    795   
Total $ 643,762  $ 643,904   

 

 

The Bank actively maintains various registered external wholesale term (greater than 1 year) funding programs to provide access to diversified funding sources, including asset securitization, covered bonds, and unsecured wholesale debt. The Bank also raises term funding through Canadian deposit Notes, Canadian NHA MBS, Canada Mortgage Bonds, debt issued in Australia, and notes backed by credit card receivables (Evergreen Credit Card Trust). The Bank's wholesale funding is diversified by geography, by currency, and by funding channel. The Bank raises short term (1 year and less) funding using certificates of deposit and commercial paper.

 

The following table summarizes the registered term funding programs by geography, with the related program size.

 

Canada United States Europe

TD regularly evaluates opportunities to diversify its funding into new markets and to new investors in order to manage funding risk and cost. The following table presents a breakdown of the Bank's term debt by currency and funding type. Term funding for the quarter ended July 31, 2017, was $104.5 billion (October 31, 2016 – $112.4 billion).

The Bank maintains depositor concentration limits against short-term wholesale deposits so that it does not depend on one or small groups of depositors for funding. The Bank further limits short-term wholesale funding that can mature in a given time period in an effort to mitigate exposures to refinancing risk during a stress event.

Excluding the Wholesale Banking mortgage aggregation business, the Bank's total mortgage-backed securities issuance for the three and nine months ended

July 31, 2017, was $0.6 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 – $0.6 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively). Other asset backed securities issuance for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, was nil and $0.7 billion, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 – $2 billion and $2 billion). The Bank also issued nil and $4.5 billion, respectively, of unsecured medium-term notes for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 – $8.6 billion and $20.8 billion, respectively) in various currencies and markets. The total covered bonds issuance for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, was nil and $4.6 billion, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 - $2.5 billion and $9.1 billion, respectively).

 

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS CONCERNING LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING

On March 22, 2016, the Government of Canada, in its 2016 federal budget, proposed to introduce framework legislation for the bail-in regime along with accompanying enhancements to Canada’s bank resolution toolkit. The regime will provide the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) with a new statutory power to convert specified eligible liabilities of D-SIBs into common shares in the unlikely event such banks become non-viable. The Budget Implementation Act providing amendments to the CDIC Act, Bank Act and other statutes to allow for bail-in, was passed in June 2016. On June 16, 2017, the Government of Canada published in draft for comment regulations under the CDIC Act and the Bank Act (the Bail-in Regulations) setting forth further details in respect of the bail-in regime. The Bail-in Regulations will come into force 180 days following the publication of the final version of the Bail-in Regulations. On June 16, 2017, OSFI published for comment the draft TLAC guideline setting forth its expectations in respect of D-SIB's minimum capacity to absorb losses. The TLAC guideline sets forth requirements for a risk-based TLAC ratio and a TLAC leverage ratio beginning November 1, 2021.

In October 2014, the BCBS released the final standard for "Basel III: the net stable funding ratio" with an implementation date of January 1, 2018. The net stable funding ratio (NSFR) requires that the ratio of available stable funding over required stable funding be greater than 100%. The NSFR is designed to reduce structural funding risk by requiring banks to have sufficient stable sources of funding and lower reliance on funding maturing in one year to support their businesses. In March 2017, OSFI provided notification that due to the uncertainty of implementation in key foreign markets, the timeline of domestic NSFR reporting for Canadian institutions has been extended to January 2019. Relevant areas of the LAR guideline have been updated to reflect the implementation delay, with OSFI planning to meet with industry stakeholders in the coming months to discuss NSFR standards as they relate to the Canadian market.

 

 

MATURITY ANALYSIS OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND OFF-bALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS

 

The following table summarizes on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet categories by remaining contractual maturity. Off-balance sheet commitments include contractual obligations to make future payments on operating and capital lease commitments, certain purchase obligations and other liabilities. The values of credit instruments reported in the following table represent the maximum amount of additional credit that the Bank could be obligated to extend should contracts be fully utilized. Since a significant portion of guarantees and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total of the contractual amounts is not representative of future liquidity requirements. These contractual obligations have an impact on the Bank’s short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs.

The maturity analysis presented does not depict the Bank’s degree of maturity transformation or the Bank’s exposure to interest rate and liquidity risk. The Bank ensures that assets are appropriately funded to protect against borrowing cost volatility and potential reductions to funding market availability. The Bank utilizes stable P&C non-specific maturity deposits (chequing and savings accounts) and P&C term deposits as the primary source of long-term funding for the Bank’s non-trading assets. The Bank also funds the stable balance of revolving lines of credit with long-term funding sources. The Bank conducts long-term funding activities based on the projected net growth for non-trading assets after considering such items as new business volumes, renewals of both term loans and term deposits, and how customers exercise options to prepay loans and pre-redeem deposits. The Bank also raises shorter-term unsecured wholesale deposits to fund trading assets based on its internal estimates of liquidity of these assets under stressed market conditions.

securitization and off-balance sheet arrangements

 

The Bank enters into securitization and off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of operations. The Bank is involved with structured entities that it sponsors, as well as entities sponsored by third-parties. Refer to "Securitization and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements" section, Note 9: Transfer of Financial Assets and Note 10: Structured Entities of the 2016 Annual Report for further details. There have been no significant changes to the Bank’s securitization and off-balance sheet arrangements during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017.

 

Securitization of Bank-Originated Assets

The Bank securitizes residential mortgages, business and government loans, credit cards, and personal loans to enhance its liquidity position, to diversify sources of funding, and to optimize the management of the balance sheet.

 

Residential Mortgage Loans

The Bank securitizes residential mortgage loans through significant unconsolidated special purpose entities (SPEs) and Canadian non-SPE third-parties. Residential mortgage loans securitized by the Bank may give rise to full derecognition of the financial assets depending on the individual arrangement of each transaction. In instances where the Bank fully derecognizes residential mortgage loans, the Bank may be exposed to the risks of transferred loans through retained interests.

 

Consumer Instalment and Other Personal Loans

The Bank securitizes consumer instalment and other personal loans through a SPE. The Bank consolidates the SPE as it serves as a financing vehicle for the Bank's assets, the Bank has power over the key economic decisions of the SPE, and the Bank is exposed to the majority of the residual risks of the SPE. As at July 31, 2017, the SPE had $2 billion of issued notes outstanding (October 31, 2016 – $4 billion) with a fair value of $2 billion (October 31, 2016 – $4 billion).

 

Credit Card Loans

The Bank securitizes credit card loans through a SPE. The Bank consolidates the SPE as it serves as a financing vehicle for the Bank’s assets, the Bank has power over the key economic decisions of the SPE, and the Bank is exposed to the majority of the residual risks of the SPE.

 

Business and Government Loans

The Bank securitizes business and government loans through significant unconsolidated SPEs and Canadian non-SPE third parties. Business and government loans securitized by the Bank may be derecognized from the Bank's balance sheet depending on the individual arrangement of each transaction. In instances where the Bank fully derecognizes business and government loans, the Bank may be exposed to the risks of transferred loans through retained interests. There are no expected credit losses (ECL) on the retained interests of the securitized business and government loans as the mortgages are all government insured.

 

Securitization of Third Party-Originated Assets

Significant Unconsolidated Special Purpose Entities

Multi-Seller Conduits

The Bank administers multi-seller conduits and provides liquidity facilities as well as securities distribution services; it may also provide credit enhancements. Third party-originated assets are securitized through Bank-sponsored SPEs, which are not consolidated by the Bank.

All third-party assets securitized by the Bank's unconsolidated multi-seller conduits were originated in Canada and sold to Canadian securitization structures.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Exposure to Third Party-Sponsored Conduits

The Bank has off-balance sheet exposure to third party-sponsored conduits arising from providing liquidity facilities and funding commitments. The assets within these conduits are comprised of individual notes backed by automotive loan receivables, credit card receivables, and trade receivables. As at July 31, 2017, these assets have maintained ratings from various credit rating agencies, with a minimum rating of A. On-balance sheet exposure to third party-sponsored conduits have been included in the financial statements.

 

 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The Bank's unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. For details of the Bank's accounting policies under IFRS, refer to Note 2 of the Bank's 2016 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. For details of the Bank's significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions under IFRS, refer to Note 3 of the Bank's 2016 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

CURRENT CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There are no new or amended significant accounting policies that are effective for the Bank for the nine months ended July 31, 2017.

 

FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following standards have been issued, but are not yet effective on the date of issuance of the Bank's Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of the application of these standards on the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and will adopt these standards when they become effective.

 

Financial Instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9), which replaces the guidance in IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39). This final version includes requirements on: (1) Classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities; (2) Impairment of financial assets; and (3) General hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and is to be applied retrospectively with certain exceptions. IFRS 9 does not require restatement of comparative period financial statements except in limited circumstances related to aspects of hedge accounting. Entities are permitted to restate comparatives as long as hindsight is not applied. The Bank has made the decision not to restate comparative period financial information and will recognize any measurement difference between the previous carrying amount and the new carrying amount on November 1, 2017 through an adjustment to opening retained earnings. In January 2015, OSFI issued the final version of the Advisory titled "Early adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for Domestic Systemically Important Banks". All D-SIBs, including the Bank, are required to early adopt IFRS 9 for the annual period beginning on November 1, 2017. Consequential amendments were made to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (IFRS 7) introducing expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to IFRS 9, which are required to be adopted for the annual period beginning on November 1, 2017, when the Bank first applies IFRS 9. In December 2015, the BCBS issued "Guidance on credit risk and accounting for expected credit losses" which sets out supervisory guidance on sound credit risk practices associated with the implementation and ongoing application of expected credit loss accounting frameworks. In June 2016, OSFI issued the guideline, "IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and Disclosures", which provides guidance to Federally Regulated Entities on the application of IFRS 9 that is consistent with the BCBS guidance. This guideline, which is effective for the Bank upon adoption of IFRS 9, replaces certain guidelines that were in effect under IAS 39.

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2017 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS Page 44
 

 

The adoption of IFRS 9 is a significant initiative for the Bank supported by a formal governance framework and a robust implementation plan. An Executive Steering Committee has been formed with joint leadership from Finance and Risk and with representation from Technology, Internal Audit, and project management teams. A communication plan including progress reporting protocols has been established with regular updates provided to the Executive Steering Committee on key decisions. IFRS 9 overview sessions have been held at various levels within the Bank, including the Audit and Risk Committees of the Board.

The Bank has enhanced its governance framework and has established a dedicated committee to review, challenge, and approve key areas of judgment and assumptions used in forecasting multiple economic scenarios and associated probabilities upon adoption of IFRS 9. The committee includes representation from Risk, Finance, and TD Economics.

The key responsibilities of the project include defining IFRS 9 risk methodology and accounting policy, identifying data and system requirements, and developing an appropriate operating model and governance framework. Controls surrounding IFRS 9 processes continue to be developed and refined. The Bank's implementation plan includes the following phases: (a) Initiation and Planning; (b) Detailed Assessment; (c) Design and Solution Development; and (d) Implementation, with work streams focused on each of the three required sections of IFRS 9 noted above as well as Reporting and Disclosures. The Bank is on track with its project timelines. The Solution Development and Implementation phases are in progress.

 

The following is a summary of the new accounting concepts and project status under IFRS 9:

 

Classification and Measurement

Financial assets will be classified based on the Bank's business model for managing its financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Financial assets are classified into one of the following three categories, which determine how it is measured subsequent to initial recognition: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), and fair value through profit or loss. An election may be made to hold certain equity securities at FVOCI, with no subsequent recycling of gains and losses into net income. In addition to the classification tests described above, IFRS 9 also includes an option to irrevocably designate a financial asset as measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

The classification and measurement of financial liabilities remain largely unchanged under IFRS 9, except for financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss when classified as held for trading or designated using the fair value option. When the fair value option is elected, the Bank will be required to recognize the change in the fair value of the financial liability arising from changes in the Bank's own credit risk in other comprehensive income.

The Bank has defined its significant business models and is in the process of assessing the cash flow characteristics for all financial assets under the scope of IFRS 9. Potential classification and measurement changes include the reclassification of certain debt securities that are currently measured at FVOCI to an amortized cost category under IFRS 9 as a result of the business model assessment.

 

Impairment

Expected Credit Loss Model

IFRS 9 introduces a new impairment model based on ECL which will replace the existing incurred loss model under IAS 39. Currently, impairment losses are recognized when there is objective evidence of credit quality deterioration to the extent that the Bank no longer has reasonable assurance as to the timely collection of the full amount of principal and interest. If there is no objective evidence of impairment for an individual loan, the loan is included in a group of assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment losses incurred but not identified. Under IFRS 9, ECL will be recognized in profit or loss before a loss event has occurred, which could result in earlier recognition of credit losses compared to the current model.

The expected credit loss model requires the recognition of impairment at an amount equal to the probability-weighted 12-month ECL or lifetime ECL depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial instrument. If a significant increase in credit risk has occurred since initial recognition, then impairment is measured as lifetime ECL otherwise 12-month ECL are measured, which represent the portion of lifetime ECL that are expected to occur based on default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. IFRS 9 introduces the rebuttable presumption that credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. The Bank does not expect to rebut this presumption. If credit quality improves in a subsequent period such that the increase in credit risk since initial recognition is no longer considered significant, the loss allowance will revert back to being measured based on 12-month ECL. The movement between 12-month and lifetime ECL and incorporation of forward-looking information may increase the volatility of provisions across the product groups, under IFRS 9 compared to IAS 39. The IFRS 9 model breaks down into three stages: Stage 1 – 12-month ECL for performing instruments, Stage 2 – Lifetime ECL for performing instruments that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk, and Stage 3 – Lifetime ECL for non-performing financial assets. The Stage 3 population is expected to largely align with the impaired population under IAS 39 and the write-off policy is expected to remain the same.

 

Measurement of Expected Credit Losses

ECL will be measured as the probability-weighted present value of expected cash shortfalls over the remaining expected life of the financial instrument and will consider reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future events and economic conditions that impact the Bank's credit risk assessment. Expected life is the maximum contractual period the Bank is exposed to credit risk, including extension options for which the borrower has unilateral right to exercise. For certain financial instruments that include both a loan and an undrawn commitment and the Bank's contractual ability to demand repayment and cancel the undrawn commitment does not limit the Bank's exposure to credit losses to the contractual notice period, ECL will be measured over the period the Bank is exposed to credit risk. Forward-looking macroeconomic factors are incorporated in the risk parameters as relevant. Examples of relevant macroeconomic factors include unemployment rates, housing price index, interest rates, and gross domestic product.

IFRS 9 requires ECL to be recognized in a way that reflects an unbiased and probability-weighted amount determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes. While entities are not expected to consider every possible scenario, the scenarios considered should reflect a representative sample of possible outcomes. When there is a non-linear relationship between the different forward-looking scenarios and the associated change in ECL, using a single forward-looking scenario will not meet the objectives of IFRS 9. Economic forecasts must consider internal and external information and be consistent with the forward-looking information used for other purposes such as budgeting and forecasting. The scenarios must be representative and not biased to extreme scenarios. Parameter coherence is considered in each scenario so that it is realistic. The scenarios considered must take into account key drivers of ECL, particularly non-linearity and asymmetric sensitivities within portfolios to estimate effects of changes in parameters on ECL.

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2017 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS Page 45
 

 

The Bank will incorporate three forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios from TD Economics in its ECL process: a base scenario, an upside scenario, and a downside scenario. The base scenario will be updated quarterly. Upside and downside scenarios will be generated quarterly using realistically possible outcomes that are statistically derived relative to the base scenario based on historical distribution. TD Economics will apply judgment to determine and recommend probability weights to each scenario on a quarterly basis. The proposed macroeconomic scenarios and probability weightings will be subject to robust management review by the added governance committee overseeing forecasting multiple economic scenarios and associated probabilities mentioned above. ECL calculated under each of the three approved scenarios is applied against the respective probability weightings to determine the probability-weighted ECL.

 

Assessment of Significant Increase in Credit Risk

For retail exposures, significant increase in credit risk will be assessed based on changes in the probability of default (PD) since initial recognition, using a combination of individual and collective information that incorporates borrower and account specific attributes and relevant forward-looking macroeconomic variables. ECL will be calculated as the product of PD, loss given default (LGD), and EAD at each time step over the remaining expected life of the financial instrument and discounted to the reporting date.

For non-retail exposures, significant increase in credit risk will be assessed based on changes in the internal risk rating since initial recognition. ECL will be calculated based on the present value of cash shortfalls determined as the difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows over the remaining expected life of the financial instrument. Similar to IAS 39, ECL for significant non-retail impaired exposures will be measured individually.

 

Incorporation of Experienced Credit Judgment

Management will exercise experienced credit judgment in assessing if an exposure has experienced significant increase in credit risk and in determining the amount of expected credit losses at each reporting date by considering reasonable and supportable information that is not already included in the quantitative models.

 

Comparison of Regulatory Expected Loss Model and IFRS 9 Expected Credit Loss Model

The IFRS 9 expected credit loss calculation will leverage where appropriate the Bank’s existing expected loss model parameters used for regulatory capital purposes including PD, LGD, and EAD with adjustments as required to comply with the IFRS 9 requirements. The main differences are summarized in the following chart:

 

  Regulatory Capital IFRS 9
PD Through-the-cycle 12-month PD based on the long run average of a full economic cycle. The default backstop is generally 90 days past due. Point-in-time 12-month or lifetime PD based on historical experience, current conditions and relevant forward-looking expectations. The default backstop will generally be 90 days past due.
LGD Downturn LGD based on losses that would be expected in an economic downturn and subject to certain regulatory floors. Both direct and indirect collection costs are considered. Expected LGD based on historical charge-off events and recovery payments, current information about attributes specific to borrower, and direct costs. Macroeconomic variables and expected cash flows from credit enhancements will be incorporated as appropriate and excludes undue conservatism and floors.
EAD Based on the drawn balance plus expected utilization of any undrawn portion prior to default, and cannot be lower than the drawn balance. EAD represents the expected balance at default across the lifetime horizon and conditional on forward-looking expectations.
Other   Expected credit losses are discounted from the default date to the reporting date.

 

Capital Impact

Based on the current regulatory requirements, a negative impact from potential increases in the balance sheet allowances under IFRS 9 on CET1 capital could be partially mitigated by reductions in negative regulatory capital adjustments related to any shortfall of allowances to regulatory expected losses in the CET1 calculation. Similarly, a positive impact from potential decreases in accounting allowances under IFRS 9 could be partially offset by increases in the deduction from CET1 capital through an increase in the shortfall of allowances to regulatory expected losses. In October 2016, the BCBS issued a discussion paper, "Regulatory treatment of accounting provisions", which provides policy options for long-term regulatory treatment of provisions. In March 2017, the BCBS issued "Regulatory treatment of accounting provisions – interim approach and transitional arrangements". This standard retains, for an interim period, the current regulatory treatment of accounting provisions under the standardized and internal ratings-based approaches and also provides potential transitional arrangements. In August 2017, OSFI released for public consultation revisions to the CAR guideline for implementation in the first quarter of 2018.

 

Scope

The new impairment model will apply to all financial assets measured at amortized cost or FVOCI with the most significant impact expected to be on loan assets. The model will also apply to loan commitments and financial guarantees that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

IFRS 9 Impairment Program

The Bank has defined the functional requirements for the calculation of ECL and is currently developing and integrating the end-to-end technology solution for tracking credit migration under the new ECL model as well as the impact to forecasting economic variables, risk parameters, and credit risk modelling processes. For the remainder of the year, the Bank will continue to focus on the development, testing and validation of the new impairment models and related processes and controls and assess the quantitative impact of applying an ECL approach by the end of 2017. The Bank is in the process of updating its accounting and risk policies, implementing changes to financial reporting systems and processes, and developing and implementing financial and regulatory disclosures related to IFRS 9.

General Hedge Accounting

IFRS 9 introduces a new general hedge accounting model which better aligns accounting with risk management activities. The new standard permits a wider range of qualifying hedged items and hedged risks as well as types of hedging instruments. Effectiveness testing will have an increased focus on establishing an economic relationship, achieving a target hedge ratio and monitoring credit risk exposures. Voluntary discontinuation of hedging relationships is no longer permitted except in limited circumstances based on the risk management objectives of hedge strategies. The Bank has an accounting policy choice to adopt the new general hedge accounting model under IFRS 9 or continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements under IAS 39. The Bank has made the decision to continue applying the IAS 39 hedge accounting requirements at this time and will comply with the revised hedge accounting disclosures as required by the related amendments to IFRS 7.

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15), which establishes the principles for recognizing revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers and prescribes the application of a five-step recognition and measurement model. The standard excludes from its scope revenue arising from items such as financial instruments, insurance contracts, and leases. The standard also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. In July 2015, the IASB confirmed a one-year deferral of the effective date to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, which will be November 1, 2018 for the Bank, and is to be applied retrospectively. In April 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 15, which provided additional guidance on the identification of performance obligations, on assessing principal versus agent considerations and on licensing revenue. The amendments also provided additional transitional relief upon initial adoption of IFRS 15 and have the same effective date as the IFRS 15 standard. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

 

Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16), which will replace IAS 17, introducing a single lessee accounting model for all leases by eliminating the distinction between operating and financing leases. IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases. Lessees will also recognize depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset and interest expense on the lease liability in the statement of income. Short-term leases, which are defined as those that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets are exempt. Lessor accounting remains substantially unchanged. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, which will be November 1, 2019 for the Bank, and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted only if aligned with or after the adoption of IFRS 15. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

 

Share-based Payment

In June 2016, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 2, Share-based Payment, which provide additional guidance on the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions. The amendments clarify the accounting for cash-settled share-based payment transactions that include a performance condition, the classification of share-based payment transactions with net settlement features for withholding tax obligations, and the accounting for modifications of share-based payment transactions from cash-settled to equity-settled. The amendments to IFRS 2 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, which will be November 1, 2018 for the Bank, and is to be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted in certain instances. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments to IFRS 2 are not expected to have a material impact on the Bank.

 

Insurance Contracts

In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17), which replaces the guidance in IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts and establishes a new model for recognizing insurance policy obligations, premium revenue, and claims-related expenses. IFRS 17 will be effective for the Bank's annual period beginning November 1, 2021. Early application is permitted on or before the date of initial application of IFRS 17. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

 

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the most recent interim period, there have been no changes in the Bank's policies and procedures and other processes that comprise its internal control over financial reporting, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank's internal control over financial reporting.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS  

 

CORPORATE INFORMATION

The Toronto-Dominion Bank is a bank chartered under the Bank Act. The shareholders of a bank are not, as shareholders, liable for any liability, act, or default of the bank except as otherwise provided under the Bank Act. The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively known as TD Bank Group ("TD" or the "Bank"). The Bank was formed through the amalgamation on February 1, 1955, of The Bank of Toronto (chartered in 1855) and The Dominion Bank (chartered in 1869). The Bank is incorporated and domiciled in Canada with its registered and principal business offices located at 66 Wellington Street West, Toronto, Ontario. TD serves customers in three business segments operating in a number of locations in key financial centres around the globe: Canadian Retail, U.S. Retail, and Wholesale Banking.

 

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and accounting principles followed by the Bank have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), including the accounting requirements of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI). The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

These Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared on a condensed basis in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) using the accounting policies as described in Note 2 of the Bank's 2016 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain comparative amounts have been restated/reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current period.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires that management make estimates, assumptions, and judgments regarding the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as further described in Note 3 of the Bank's 2016 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as future confirming events occur.

The Bank's Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. All intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealized gains and losses on transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, were approved and authorized for issue by the Bank's Board of Directors, in accordance with a recommendation of the Audit Committee, on August 30, 2017.

As the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures normally provided in the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements, it should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes, and the shaded sections of the 2016 Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). Certain disclosures are included in the shaded sections of the "Managing Risk" section of the MD&A in this report, as permitted by IFRS, and form an integral part of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared under a historical cost basis, except for certain items carried at fair value as discussed in Note 2 of the Bank's 2016 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

 

NOTE 2: CURRENT AND FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

 

CURRENT CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There are no new or amended significant accounting policies that are effective for the Bank for the nine months ended July 31, 2017.

 

FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following standards have been issued, but are not yet effective on the date of issuance of the Bank's Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of the application of these standards on the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and will adopt these standards when they become effective.

 

Financial Instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9), which replaces the guidance in IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39). This final version includes requirements on: (1) Classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities; (2) Impairment of financial assets; and (3) General hedge accounting. Accounting for macro hedging has been decoupled from IFRS 9. The Bank has an accounting policy choice to apply the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 or IAS 39. The Bank has made the decision to continue applying the IAS 39 hedge accounting requirements at this time and will comply with the revised hedge accounting disclosures as required by the related amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (IFRS 7).

IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and is to be applied retrospectively with certain exceptions. IFRS 9 does not require restatement of comparative period financial statements except in limited circumstances related to aspects of hedge accounting. Entities are permitted to restate comparatives as long as hindsight is not applied. The Bank has made the decision not to restate comparative period financial information and will recognize any measurement difference between the previous carrying amount and the new carrying amount on November 1, 2017, through an adjustment to opening retained earnings. In January 2015, OSFI issued the final version of the Advisory titled "Early adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for Domestic Systemically Important Banks". All domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs), including the Bank, are required to early adopt IFRS 9 for the annual period beginning on November 1, 2017. Consequential amendments were made to IFRS 7 introducing expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to IFRS 9, which are required to be adopted for the annual period beginning on November 1, 2017, when the Bank first applies IFRS 9.

In December 2015, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) issued "Guidance on credit risk and accounting for expected credit losses" which sets out supervisory guidance on sound credit risk practices associated with the implementation and ongoing application of expected credit loss accounting frameworks. In June 2016, OSFI issued the guideline, "IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and Disclosures", which provides guidance to Federally Regulated Entities on the application of IFRS 9 that is consistent with the BCBS guidance. This guideline, which is effective for the Bank upon adoption of IFRS 9, replaces certain guidelines that were in effect under IAS 39. The adoption of IFRS 9 is a significant initiative for the Bank supported by a formal governance framework and a robust implementation plan.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15), which establishes the principles for recognizing revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers and prescribes the application of a five-step recognition and measurement model. The standard excludes from its scope revenue arising from items such as financial instruments, insurance contracts, and leases. The standard also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. In July 2015, the IASB confirmed a one-year deferral of the effective date to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, which will be November 1, 2018 for the Bank, and is to be applied retrospectively. In April 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 15, which provided additional guidance on the identification of performance obligations, on assessing principal versus agent considerations and on licensing revenue. The amendments also provided additional transitional relief upon initial adoption of IFRS 15 and have the same effective date as the IFRS 15 standard. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

 

Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16), which will replace IAS 17, introducing a single lessee accounting model for all leases by eliminating the distinction between operating and financing leases. IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases. Lessees will also recognize depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset and interest expense on the lease liability in the statement of income. Short-term leases, which are defined as those that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets are exempt. Lessor accounting remains substantially unchanged. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, which will be November 1, 2019 for the Bank, and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted only if aligned with or after the adoption of IFRS 15. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

 

Share-based Payment

In June 2016, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 2, Share-based Payment, which provide additional guidance on the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions. The amendments clarify the accounting for cash-settled share-based payment transactions that include a performance condition, the classification of share-based payment transactions with net settlement features for withholding tax obligations, and the accounting for modifications of share-based payment transactions from cash-settled to equity-settled. The amendments to IFRS 2 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, which will be November 1, 2018 for the Bank, and is to be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted in certain instances. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments to IFRS 2 are not expected to have a material impact on the Bank.

 

Insurance Contracts

In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17), which replaces the guidance in IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts and establishes a new model for recognizing insurance policy obligations, premium revenue, and claims-related expenses. IFRS 17 will be effective for the Bank's annual period beginning November 1, 2021. Early application is permitted on or before the date of initial application of IFRS 17. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

 

 

NOTE 3: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS  

 

Certain assets and liabilities, primarily financial instruments, are carried on the balance sheet at their fair value on a recurring basis. These financial instruments include trading loans and securities, assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, instruments classified as available-for-sale, derivatives, certain securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements, certain deposits classified as trading, securitization liabilities at fair value, obligations related to securities sold short, and certain obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of assets and liabilities subsequently not measured at fair value include most loans, most deposits, certain securitization liabilities, most securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements, most obligations relating to securities sold under repurchase agreements, and subordinated notes and debentures. There have been no significant changes to the Bank's approach and methodologies used to determine fair value measurements during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017. Refer to Note 5 of the 2016 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Bank's financial instruments.

Fair Value Hierarchy and Valuation of Assets and Liabilities Classified as Level 3

IFRS requires disclosure of a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Refer to Note 5 of the 2016 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the three levels.

 

There have been no significant changes to these valuation techniques, unobservable inputs, and sensitivities during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017. The significant valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of Level 3 financial assets and financial liabilities are described and quantified within the "Valuation of Assets and Liabilities Classified as Level 3" section in Note 5 of the 2016 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

1Fair value is the same as carrying value.
2Balances reflect the reduction of securities owned (long positions) by the amount of identical securities sold but not yet purchased (short positions).
3As at July 31, 2017, the carrying values of certain available-for-sale equity securities of $6 million (October 31, 2016 – $6 million) are assumed to approximate fair value in the absence of quoted market prices in an active market.
4As at July 31, 2017, common shares include the fair value of Federal Reserve stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock of $1.3 billion (October 31, 2016 – $1.3 billion) which are redeemable by the issuer at cost for which cost approximates fair value. These securities cannot be traded in the market, hence, these securities have not been subject to sensitivity analysis of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities.

The Bank's policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities between the different levels of the fair value hierarchy using the fair values as at the end of each reporting period. Assets are transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 depending on if there is sufficient frequency and volume in an active market.

 

During the quarter ended July 31, 2017, the Bank transferred $150 million of treasury securities designated at fair value through profit and loss from Level 1 to Level 2 as they are now off-the-run and traded less frequently. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the quarter ended July 31, 2016.

 

Movements of Level 3 instruments

Significant transfers into and out of Level 3 occur mainly due to the following reasons:

Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 occur when techniques used for valuing the instrument incorporate significant observable market inputs or broker-dealer quotes which were previously not observable.
Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 occur when an instrument's fair value, which was previously determined using valuation techniques with significant observable market inputs, is now determined using valuation techniques with significant non-observable inputs.

 

Due to the unobservable nature of the inputs used to value Level 3 financial instruments there may be uncertainty about the valuation of these instruments. The fair value of Level 3 instruments may be drawn from a range of reasonably possible alternatives. In determining the appropriate levels for these unobservable inputs, parameters are chosen so that they are consistent with prevailing market evidence and management judgment.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Designated at Fair Value

Securities Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Certain securities supporting insurance reserves within the Bank's insurance underwriting subsidiaries have been designated at fair value through profit or loss. The actuarial valuation of the insurance reserve is measured using a discount factor which is based on the yield of the supporting invested assets, with changes in the discount factor being recognized on the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income. The unrealized gain or loss on securities designated at fair value through profit or loss is recognized on the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income in the same period as gains or losses resulting from changes to the discount rate used to value the insurance liabilities.

In addition, certain debt securities are managed on a fair value basis, or are economically hedged with derivatives as doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. As a result, these debt securities have been designated at fair value through profit or loss. The derivatives are carried at fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in non-interest income.

 

Other Liabilities Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Certain deposits and loan commitments issued to customers to provide a mortgage at a fixed rate have been designated at fair value through profit or loss. These deposits and commitments are economically hedged with derivatives and other financial instruments where the changes in fair value are recognized in non-interest income. The designation of these deposits and loan commitments at fair value through profit or loss eliminates an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

The contractual maturity amounts for the deposits designated at fair value through profit or loss were not significantly more than the carrying amount as at October 31, 2016. As at October 31, 2016, the respective fair value of deposits designated at fair value through profit or loss include insignificant amounts of the Bank's own credit risk. There are no deposits designated at fair value through profit or loss outstanding as at July 31, 2017. Due to the short-term nature of the loan commitments, changes in the Bank's own credit risk do not have a significant impact on the determination of fair value.

 

Income (Loss) from Changes in Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, the income (loss) representing net changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss was $(137) million and $(223) million, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 – $42 million and $(4) million, respectively).

 

 

NOTE 4: SECURITIES  

 

RECLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN DEBT SECURITIES – TRADING TO AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE

The fair value of the reclassified debt securities was $264 million as at July 31, 2017 (October 31, 2016 – $328 million). For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, net interest income of $3 million and $9 million after tax, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 – $5 million and $16 million after tax, respectively) was recorded relating to the reclassified debt securities. The increase in fair value of these securities during the three months ended July 31, 2017, of $3 million after tax and the increase in fair value of these securities during the nine months ended July 31, 2017, of $1 million after tax, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 – nil and an increase in net income of $3 million after tax, respectively) was recorded in OCI. Had the Bank not reclassified these debt securities, the change in the fair value of these debt securities would have been included as part of trading income, the impact of which would have resulted in an increase in net income for the three months ended July 31, 2017, of $3 million after tax and an increase in net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, of $1 million after tax (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 – nil and an increase in net income of $3 million after tax, respectively).

 

RECLASSIFICATIONS OF CERTAIN DEBT SECURITIES – AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE TO HELD-TO-MATURITY

The Bank has reclassified certain debt securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. For these debt securities, the Bank's strategy is to earn the yield to maturity to aid in prudent capital management under Basel III. These debt securities were previously recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in OCI. Subsequent to the date of reclassification, the net unrealized gain or loss recognized in AOCI is amortized to interest income over the remaining life of the reclassified debt securities using the effective interest rate method (EIRM). The reclassifications are non-cash transactions that are excluded from the Interim Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

 

The Bank has completed the following reclassifications.

Had the Bank not reclassified these debt securities, the change in the fair value recognized in OCI for these debt securities would have been an increase of $81 million and a decrease of $14 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 – an increase of $155 million and $256 million, respectively). After the reclassification, the debt securities contributed the following amounts to net income.

Securities Gains (Losses)

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, the net realized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities were $39 million and $107 million, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 – $40 million and $53 million, respectively) and on held-to-maturity securities were nil and $(8) million, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 – nil). The Bank did not sell any held-to-maturity securities during the three months ended July 31, 2017 and July 31, 2016. During the nine months ended July 31, 2017, the Bank sold certain held-to-maturity securities with an amortized cost of $460 million (nine months ended July 31, 2016 – nil), due to significant external credit ratings deterioration, resulting in a significant increase in the Bank's risk-weighted assets. Impairment losses on available-for-sale securities for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, were $2 million and $12 million, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 – $3 million and $27 million, respectively). None of these impairment losses related to debt securities in the reclassified portfolio as described in the Reclassification of Certain Debt Securities – Trading to Available-For-Sale section of this Note.

5As at July 31, 2017, impaired loans with a balance of $113 million did not have a related allowance for loan losses (October 31, 2016 – $448 million). An allowance was not required for these loans as the balance relates to loans that are insured or loans where the realizable value of the collateral exceeded the loan amount.
6Includes Canadian government-insured real estate personal loans of $17 billion as at July 31, 2017 (October 31, 2016 – $18 billion).

 

FORECLOSED ASSETS

Foreclosed assets are repossessed non-financial assets where the Bank gains title, ownership, or possession of individual properties, such as real estate properties, which are managed for sale in an orderly manner with the proceeds used to reduce or repay any outstanding debt. The Bank does not generally occupy foreclosed properties for its business use. The Bank predominantly relies on third-party appraisals to determine the carrying value of foreclosed assets. Foreclosed assets held for sale were $83 million as at July 31, 2017 (October 31, 2016 – $106 million), and were recorded in Other assets on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet.

COLLATERAL

As at July 31, 2017, the fair value of financial collateral held against loans that were past due but not impaired was $335 million (October 31, 2016 – $455 million). In addition, the Bank also holds non-financial collateral as security for loans. The fair value of non-financial collateral is determined at the origination date of the loan. A revaluation of non-financial collateral is performed if there has been a significant change in the terms and conditions of the loan and/or the loan is considered impaired. Management considers the nature of the collateral, seniority ranking of the debt, and loan structure in assessing the value of collateral. These estimated cash flows are reviewed at least annually, or more frequently when new information indicates a change in the timing or amount expected to be received.

 

ACQUIRED CREDIT-IMPAIRED LOANS

ACI loans contain commercial, retail, and FDIC covered loans originating from the South Financial and FDIC-assisted acquisitions. At acquisition date, outstanding unpaid principal balances were $6.3 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, and related fair values were $5.6 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively.

1Represents contractual amount owed net of charge-offs since the acquisition of the loan.
2Credit related fair value adjustments include incurred credit losses on acquisition and are not accreted to interest income.
3Management concluded as part of the Bank's assessment of the ACI loans that it was probable that higher than estimated principal credit losses would result in a decrease in expected cash flows subsequent to acquisition. As a result, counterparty-specific and individually insignificant allowances have been recognized.
4Carrying value does not include the effect of the FDIC loss sharing agreement.

 

FDIC COVERED LOANS

As at July 31, 2017, the balance of FDIC covered loans was $348 million (October 31, 2016 – $480 million) and was recorded in Loans on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet. As at July 31, 2017, the balance of indemnification assets was $17 million (October 31, 2016 – $22 million) and was recorded in Other assets on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

 

NOTE 6: INVESTMENT IN TD AMERITRADE HOLDING CORPORATION  

 

The Bank has significant influence over TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (TD Ameritrade) and accounts for its investment in TD Ameritrade using the equity method. The Bank's equity share in TD Ameritrade's earnings, excluding dividends, is reported on a one-month lag basis. The Bank takes into account changes in the subsequent period that would significantly affect the results.

As at July 31, 2017, the Bank's reported investment in TD Ameritrade was 42.21% (October 31, 2016 – 42.38%) of the outstanding shares of TD Ameritrade with a fair value of $13 billion (US$10 billion) (October 31, 2016 – $10 billion (US$8 billion)) based on the closing price of US$45.73 (October 31, 2016 – US$34.21) on the New York Stock Exchange.

During the nine months ended July 31, 2017, TD Ameritrade repurchased nil shares (for the year ended October 31, 2016 – 12.0 million shares). Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement in relation to the Bank's equity investment in TD Ameritrade, if stock repurchases by TD Ameritrade cause the Bank's ownership percentage to exceed 45%, the Bank is required to use reasonable efforts to sell or dispose of such excess stock, subject to the Bank's commercial judgment as to the optimal timing, amount, and method of sales with a view to maximizing proceeds from such sales. However, in the event that stock repurchases by TD Ameritrade cause the Bank's ownership percentage to exceed 45%, the Bank has no absolute obligation to reduce its ownership percentage to 45%. In addition, stock repurchases by TD Ameritrade cannot result in the Bank's ownership percentage exceeding 47%.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement in relation to the Bank's equity investment in TD Ameritrade, the Bank has the right to designate five of twelve members of TD Ameritrade's Board of Directors. The Bank's designated directors currently include the Bank's Group President and Chief Executive Officer and four independent directors of TD or TD's U.S. subsidiaries.

TD Ameritrade has no significant contingent liabilities to which the Bank is exposed. During the nine months ended July 31, 2017 and July 31, 2016, TD Ameritrade did not experience any significant restrictions to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, or repayment of loans or advances.

Pursuant to its pre-emptive rights and subject to any required regulatory approval, the Bank intends to purchase US$400 million in new common equity from TD Ameritrade in connection with TD Ameritrade's acquisition of Scottrade Financial Services, Inc. (Scottrade). As a result, the Bank's anticipated pro forma common stock ownership in TD Ameritrade is expected to be approximately 41.4%. Refer to the "Financial Results Overview – Significant Events in 2016" section of the 2016 MD&A for a discussion of the announced acquisition of Scottrade Bank.

NOTE 11: SUBORDINATED NOTES AND DEBENTURES  

 

Issues and Redemptions

 

Issues

On July 25, 2017, the Bank issued $1.5 billion of medium term notes (non-viability contingent capital (NVCC)) constituting subordinated indebtedness of the Bank (the "Notes"). The Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.224% per annum (paid semi-annually) until July 25, 2024, and at the three-month bankers' acceptance rate plus 1.25% thereafter (paid quarterly) until maturity on July 25, 2029. With the prior approval of OSFI, the Bank may, at its option, redeem the Notes on or after July 25, 2024, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. Not more than 60 nor less than 30 days' notice is required to be given to the Notes' holders for such redemptions.

 

Redemptions

On December 14, 2016 (the "Redemption Date"), the Bank redeemed all of its outstanding $2.25 billion 4.779% subordinated debentures due December 14, 2105, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount. Interest on the debentures ceased to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.

1NVCC Series 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, and 16 Preferred Shares qualify as regulatory capital under OSFI's capital adequacy requirements (CAR) guideline. If a NVCC conversion were to occur in accordance with the NVCC Provisions, the maximum number of common shares that could be issued based on the formula for conversion set out in the respective terms and conditions applicable to each Series of shares, assuming there are no declared and unpaid dividends on the respective Series of shares at the time of conversion, as applicable, would be 100 million, 100 million, 100 million, 70 million, 40 million, 30 million, 140 million, 200 million, and 70 million, respectively.
2Issued by the Bank on July 14, 2017, with quarterly non-cumulative cash dividends on these shares, if declared, payable at a per annum rate of 4.50% for the initial period ending October 31, 2022. Thereafter, the dividend rate will reset every five years equal to the then five-year Government of Canada bond yield plus 3.01%. Holders of these shares will have the right to convert their shares into non-cumulative NVCC Floating Rate Preferred Shares, Series 17, subject to certain conditions, on October 31, 2022, and on October 31 every five years thereafter. Holders of the Series 17 Shares will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate dividends, if declared, at a rate equal to the then average three-month Government of Canada Treasury Bills yield plus 3.01%. The Series 16 Shares are redeemable by the Bank, subject to regulatory consent, at $25 per share on October 31, 2022, and on October 31 every five years thereafter.
3When the Bank purchases its own shares as part of its trading business, they are classified as treasury shares and the cost of these shares is recorded as a reduction in equity.

 

Normal Course Issuer Bid

On March 16, 2017, the Bank announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and OSFI approved the Bank's previously announced normal course issuer bid (NCIB) to repurchase for cancellation up to 15 million of the Bank's common shares. On March 28, 2017, in connection with its NCIB, the Bank announced its intention to purchase for cancellation up to 14.5 million of its common shares pursuant to a specific share repurchase program. During the quarter ended April 30, 2017, the Bank completed the purchase of common shares pursuant to the specific share repurchase program, which shares were purchased at a discount to the prevailing market price of the Bank's common shares on the TSX at the time of purchase. During the three months ended April 30, 2017, the Bank repurchased 15 million common shares under its NCIB at an average price of $58.65 per share for a total amount of $880 million.

On December 9, 2015, the Bank announced that the TSX and OSFI approved the Bank's previously announced NCIB to repurchase for cancellation up to 9.5 million of the Bank's common shares. On January 11, 2016, in connection with its NCIB, the Bank announced its intention to purchase for cancellation up to 3 million of its common shares pursuant to private agreements between the Bank and an arm's length third party seller. During the quarter ended January 31, 2016, the Bank completed the purchase of common shares by way of private agreements, which shares were purchased at a discount to the prevailing market price of the Bank's common shares on the TSX at the time of purchase. During the three months ended January 31, 2016, the Bank repurchased 9.5 million common shares under its NCIB at an average price of $51.23 per share for a total amount of $487 million.

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2017 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERSPage 72
 

 

As at July 31, 2017, the Bank expects to contribute an additional $104 million to its principal pension plans, $5 million to its principal non-pension post-retirement benefit plan, and $10 million to its other pension and retirement plans by the end of the fiscal year. However, future contribution amounts may change upon the Bank's review of current contribution levels during fiscal 2017.

 

 

NOTE 15: INCOME TAXES  

 

During the quarter ended July 31, 2017, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) reassessed the Bank approximately $151 million and $189 million of additional income tax and interest in respect of the 2011 and 2012 taxation years, respectively. The CRA is denying certain dividend deductions claimed by the Bank. The Bank expects the CRA to reassess subsequent years on the same basis and that Alberta and Québec will also reassess all open years. The Bank is of the view that its tax filing positions were appropriate and intends to challenge all reassessments.

 

 

NOTE 16: EARNINGS PER SHARE  

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the same method as basic earnings per share except that certain adjustments are made to net income attributable to common shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares that are assumed to be issued by the Bank.

 

The following table presents the Bank's basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, and July 31, 2016, and the twelve months ended October 31, 2016.

1For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, the computation of diluted earnings per share excluded average options outstanding of 2.0 million and 1.6 million, respectively, with a weighted-average exercise price of $65.75, as the option price was greater than the average market price of the Bank’s common shares. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016, and the twelve months ended October 31, 2016, no outstanding options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 17: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES  

 

Other than as described below, there have been no new significant events or transactions as previously identified in Note 28 of the 2016 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

LITIGATION

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal and regulatory actions. The Bank establishes legal provisions when it becomes probable that the Bank will incur a loss and the amount can be reliably estimated. The Bank also estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses (RPL) in its legal and regulatory actions (that is, those which are neither probable nor remote), in excess of provisions. As at July 31, 2017, the Bank's RPL is from zero to approximately $597 million. The Bank's provisions and RPL represent the Bank's best estimates based upon currently available information for actions for which estimates can be made, but there are a number of factors that could cause the Bank's provisions and/or RPL to be significantly different from its actual or reasonably possible losses. For example, the Bank’s estimates involve significant judgment due to the varying stages of the proceedings, the existence of multiple defendants in many of such proceedings whose share of liability has yet to be determined, the numerous yet-unresolved issues in many of the proceedings, some of which are beyond the Bank’s control and/or involve novel legal theories and interpretations, the attendant uncertainty of the various potential outcomes of such proceedings, and the fact that the underlying matters will change from time to time. In addition, some matters seek very large or indeterminate damages.

In management’s opinion, based on its current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, the ultimate disposition of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or the consolidated cash flows of the Bank. However, because of the factors listed above, as well as other uncertainties inherent in litigation and regulatory matters, there is a possibility that the ultimate resolution of those legal or regulatory actions may be material to the Bank’s consolidated results of operations for any particular reporting period.

 

Stanford Litigation ─ The Official Stanford Investors Committee (OSIC) filed an amended intervenor complaint against the Bank on November 4, 2016, and the Bank filed its answer to this amended complaint on December 19, 2016. In the U.S., the parties are awaiting a decision on the motion for class certification, and discovery has been stayed in both the putative class action and the intervenor action filed by the OSIC. In Canada, the two cases filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice are being managed jointly, and discovery is ongoing.

 

Overdraft Litigation ─ The parties' briefing of class certification issues has been completed and a class certification hearing in the consolidated matter was held in May 2017.

 

Credit Card Fees ─ The plaintiffs' motion to amend their claims to reinstate the extended class period was denied by the motions judge and subsequently by the British Columbia Court of Appeal.

NOTE 19: REGULATORY CAPITAL  

 

The Bank manages its capital under guidelines established by OSFI. The regulatory capital guidelines measure capital in relation to credit, market, and operational risks. The Bank has various capital policies, procedures, and controls which it utilizes to achieve its goals and objectives.

During the nine months ended July 31, 2017, the Bank complied with the OSFI Basel III guideline related to capital ratios and the leverage ratio. Effective January 1, 2016, OSFI's target Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1, and Total Capital ratios for Canadian banks designated as D-SIBs includes a 1% common equity capital surcharge bringing the targets to 8%, 9.5%, and 11.5%, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Bank's regulatory capital positions as at July 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016.

 

Regulatory Capital Position

July 31  October 31 
  2017  2016

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital $ 44,975  $ 42,328 
Tier 1 Capital 52,246  49,397 
Total Capital 63,630  61,816 
Risk-weighted assets used in the calculation of capital ratios
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital $ 408,803  $ 405,844 
Tier 1 Capital 408,803  405,844 
Total Capital 408,803  405,844

Tier 1 Capital ratio 12.8  12.2 
Total Capital ratio 15.6  15.2 
Leverage ratio 4.1  4.0 
1In accordance with the final CAR guideline, the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) capital charge is being phased in until the first quarter of 2019. Each capital ratio has its own risk-weighted assets (RWA) measure due to the OSFI prescribed scalar for inclusion of the CVA. For fiscal 2016, the scalars for inclusion of CVA for CET1, Tier 1, and Total Capital RWA were 64%, 71%, and 77%, respectively. For fiscal 2017, the scalars are 72%, 77%, and 81%, respectively.
