TORONTO, August 30, 2018 – TD Bank Group ("TD" or the "Bank") today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended July 31, 2018. Third quarter reported earnings were $3.1 billion, up 12% on a reported basis and 9% on an adjusted basis, compared with the same quarter last year.

 

"We are pleased with our performance, as our diversified business and geographic mix continues to add to our strategic advantage. We delivered strong earnings this quarter, increased customer volumes on both sides of the border and continued to invest in our key priorities," said Bharat Masrani, Group President and Chief Executive Officer.

 

Canadian Retail

Canadian Retail reported net income of $1,852 million, an increase of 7% compared with the same quarter last year. Increased loan and deposit volumes, growth in wealth assets, and higher net interest margins, all contributed to a 9% growth in revenue this quarter. Canadian Retail also increased its market share in the real estate secured lending business, maintained industry leadership in personal deposit gathering, and positioned TD Asset Management to become Canada's largest money manager with the announced acquisition of Greystone Managed Investments Inc.

 

U.S. Retail

U.S. Retail reported net income was $1,143 million (US$877 million) and adjusted net income was $1,161 million (US$891 million), an increase of 27% (29% in U.S. dollars) on a reported basis and 29% (31% in U.S. dollars) on an adjusted basis, compared with the same quarter last year.

 

The U.S. Retail Bank, which excludes the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade, reported net income of $918 million (US$703 million), up 17% (19% in U.S. dollars) from the same period last year. Earnings reflect loan and deposit volume growth, higher margins driven by a favourable rate environment, and benefits from U.S. tax reform.

 

TD Ameritrade contributed $225 million (US$174 million) in reported earnings to the segment and $243 million (US$188 million) in adjusted earnings.

 

Wholesale Banking

Wholesale Banking net income was $223 million this quarter, reflecting lower trading-related revenue, partially offset by higher advisory activity and fee income. The Wholesale Bank continued to invest in client-facing teams this quarter as it expands its U.S. dollar business.

 

Capital

TD's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio on a Basel III fully phased-in basis was 11.7%.

Innovation

"We are building the bank of the future by investing in our capabilities and enhancing our digital platforms. These investments are paying off in significant ways, by helping us deepen relationships with our customers on both sides of the border and making it easier for them to bank with us," said Masrani. "In addition, our AI innovations continue to set new standards in the industry. In fact, Layer 6 recently won the prestigious 2018 Spotify RecSys Challenge, one of the world's leading AI forums, reinforcing TD's global leadership and ability to attract the best and brightest talent to the Bank."

 

Conclusion

"As we enter the final quarter of fiscal 2018, we are operating from a position of strength and are focused on accelerating investment in strategic initiatives," said Masrani. "While we continue to see pockets of market uncertainty stemming from the geo-political climate, both the Canadian and U.S. economies continue to perform well and support a positive outlook for our diversified businesses across the Bank as we head into the final stretch of the year."

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, 2018, 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 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes and 2017 MD&A. This MD&A is dated August 29, 2018. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars and have been primarily derived from the Bank's 2017 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 2017 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 ("2017 MD&A") in the Bank's 2017 Annual Report under the heading "Economic Summary and Outlook", for the Canadian Retail, U.S. Retail, and Wholesale Banking segments under headings "Business Outlook and Focus for 2018", and for the Corporate segment, "Focus for 2018", and in other statements regarding the Bank's objectives and priorities for 2018 and beyond and strategies to achieve them, the regulatory environment in which the Bank operates, and the Bank's anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "will", "would", "should", "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "goal", "target", "may", and "could".

By their very nature, these forward-looking statements require the Bank to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific. Especially in light of the uncertainty related to the physical, financial, economic, political, and regulatory environments, such risks and uncertainties – many of which are beyond the Bank's control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict – may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause, individually or in the aggregate, such differences include: credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign exchange, interest rate, and credit spreads), liquidity, operational (including technology and infrastructure), reputational, insurance, strategic, regulatory, legal, environmental, capital adequacy, and other risks. Examples of such risk factors include the general business and economic conditions in the regions in which the Bank operates; the ability of the Bank to execute on key priorities, including the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions, business retention plans, and strategic plans and to attract, develop and retain key executives; disruptions in or attacks (including cyber-attacks) on the Bank's information technology, internet, network access or other voice or data communications systems or services; the evolution of various types of fraud or other criminal behaviour to which the Bank is exposed; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank or its affiliates, including relating to the care and control of information; the impact of new and changes to, or application of, current laws and regulations, including without limitation tax laws, capital guidelines and liquidity regulatory guidance and the bank recapitalization "bail-in" regime; exposure related to significant litigation and regulatory matters; increased competition, including through internet and mobile banking and non-traditional competitors; changes to the Bank's credit ratings; changes in currency and interest rates (including the possibility of negative interest rates); increased funding costs and market volatility due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; critical accounting estimates and changes to accounting standards, policies, and methods used by the Bank; existing and potential international debt crises; and the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events and claims resulting from such events. The Bank cautions that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect the Bank's results. For more detailed information, please refer to the "Risk Factors and Management" section of the 2017 MD&A, as may be updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders and news releases (as applicable) related to any events or transactions discussed under the headings "Significant Events" and "Significant Events and Pending Acquisitions" in the relevant MD&A, which applicable releases may be found on www.td.com. All such factors should be considered carefully, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements, when making decisions with respect to the Bank and the Bank cautions readers not to place undue reliance on the Bank's forward-looking statements.

Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document are set out in the 2017 MD&A under the headings "Economic Summary and Outlook", for the Canadian Retail, U.S. Retail, and Wholesale Banking segments, "Business Outlook and Focus for 2018", and for the Corporate segment, "Focus for 2018", each as may be updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders.

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

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

For fiscal 2018, the scalars are 80%, 83%, and 86%. Prior to the second quarter of 2018, as the Bank was constrained by the Basel I regulatory floor, the RWA as it relates to the regulatory floor was calculated based on the Basel I risk weights which are the same for all capital ratios.
4Adjusted return on common equity (ROE) is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the "Return on Common Equity" section of this document for an explanation.
5Excludes acquired credit-impaired (ACI) loans and prior to November 1, 2017, certain Debt securities classified as loans (DSCL). DSCL are now reclassified as Debt securities at amortized cost (DSAC) under IFRS 9.
6Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) closing market price.
7Dividend yield is calculated as the annualized dividend per common share paid divided by daily average closing stock price in the relevant period. Dividend per common share is derived as follows: a) for the quarter – by annualizing the dividend per common share paid during the quarter; and b) for the year-to-date – by annualizing the year-to-date dividend per common share paid.
8Total shareholder return (TSR) is calculated based on share price movement and dividends reinvested over a trailing one-year period.

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, 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. TD also ranks among the world's leading online financial services firms, with approximately 12 million active online and mobile customers. TD had $1.3 trillion in assets on July 31, 2018. 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.

 

The Bank’s U.S. strategic cards portfolio comprises agreements with certain U.S. retailers pursuant to which TD is the U.S. issuer of private label and co-branded consumer credit cards to their U.S. customers. Under the terms of the individual agreements, the Bank and the retailers share in the profits generated by the relevant portfolios after credit losses. Under IFRS, TD is required to present the gross amount of revenue and provisions for credit losses related to these portfolios in the Bank's Interim Consolidated Statement of Income. At the segment level, the retailer program partners' share of revenues and credit losses is presented in the Corporate segment, with an offsetting amount (representing the partners' net share) recorded in Non-interest expenses, resulting in no impact to Corporate reported Net income (loss). The Net income (loss) included in the U.S. Retail segment includes only the portion of revenue and credit losses attributable to TD under the agreements.

 

Effective November 1, 2017, the Bank adopted IFRS 9, which replaces the guidance in IAS 39. Refer to Note 2 of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the Bank's accounting policies as it relates to IFRS 9. Under IFRS 9, the current period provision for credit losses (PCL) for performing (Stage 1 and Stage 2) and impaired (Stage 3) financial assets, loan commitments, and financial guarantees is recorded within the respective segment. Under IAS 39 and prior to November 1, 2017, the PCL related to the collectively assessed allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses that related to the Canadian Retail and Wholesale Banking segments was recorded in the Corporate segment. Prior period results have not been restated. PCL on impaired financial assets includes Stage 3 PCL under IFRS 9 and counterparty-specific and individually insignificant PCL under IAS 39. PCL on performing financial assets, loan commitments, and financial guarantees include Stage 1 and Stage 2 PCL under IFRS 9 and incurred but not identified losses under IAS 39.

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 has recognized any measurement differences between the previous carrying amount and the new carrying amount on November 1, 2017 through an adjustment to opening retained earnings. As such, fiscal 2018 results reflect the adoption of IFRS 9, while prior periods reflect results under IAS 39.

 

U.S. Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "U.S. Tax Act") which makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code.

The reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate enacted by the U.S. Tax Act resulted in a one-time adjustment during the first quarter of 2018 to the Bank's U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities to the lower base rate of 21% as well as an adjustment to the Bank's carrying balances of certain tax credit-related investments and its investment in TD Ameritrade. Based on the Bank's previous assessment of the implications of the U.S. Tax Act, the Bank recorded a one-time net charge to earnings for the three months ended January 31, 2018, and the six months ended April 30, 2018, of $453 million (US$365 million). In the current quarter, the Bank updated its estimate, resulting in a net $61 million (US$46 million) deferred income tax benefit.

The lower corporate tax rate had and will have a positive effect on TD's current and future earnings. The amount of the benefit may vary due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Bank has made, guidance that may be issued by applicable regulatory authorities, and actions the Bank may take to reinvest some of the savings in its operations.

1Adjusted Non-interest income excludes the following items of note: Adjustment to the carrying balances of certain tax credit-related investments, as explained in footnote 6 – first quarter 2018 – $(89) million. Loss on sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe, as explained in footnote 7 – third quarter 2017 – $42 million. Fair value of derivatives hedging the reclassified available-for-sale (AFS) securities portfolio, as explained in footnote 8 – first quarter 2017 – $41 million. These amounts were reported in the Corporate segment.
2Adjusted Non-interest expenses excludes the following items of note: Amortization of intangibles, as explained in footnote 4 – third quarter 2018 – $53 million, second quarter 2018 – $62 million, first quarter 2018 – $63 million, third quarter 2017 – $58 million, second quarter 2017 – $63 million, and first quarter 2017 – $64 million; these amounts were reported in the Corporate segment. Charges associated with Scottrade transaction, as explained in footnote 5 – second quarter 2018 – $16 million and first quarter 2018 – $5 million; these amounts were reported in the U.S. Retail 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 2018 $24 million, second quarter 2018 $24 million, first quarter 2018 $22 million, third quarter 2017 $16 million, second quarter 2017 $15 million, and first quarter 2017 $16 million; and the Bank's share of TD Ameritrade's deferred tax balances adjustment, as explained in footnote 6 – first quarter 2018 – $(41) million. The earnings impact of both of these items was reported in the Corporate segment. The Bank’s share of charges associated with TD Ameritrade's acquisition of Scottrade Financial Services Inc. (Scottrade), as explained in footnote 5 – third quarter 2018 – $18 million, second quarter 2018 – $61 million and first quarter 2018 – $68 million. This item was reported in the U.S. Retail 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 September 18, 2017, the Bank acquired Scottrade Bank and TD Ameritrade acquired Scottrade, together with the Bank’s purchase of TD Ameritrade shares issued in connection with TD Ameritrade’s acquisition of Scottrade (the "Scottrade transaction"). Scottrade Bank merged with TD Bank, N.A. The Bank and TD Ameritrade incurred acquisition related charges including employee severance, contract termination fees, direct transaction costs, and other one-time charges. These amounts have been recorded as an adjustment to net income and include charges associated with the Bank's acquisition of Scottrade Bank and the after tax amounts for the Bank's share of charges associated with TD Ameritrade's acquisition of Scottrade. These amounts are reported in the U.S. Retail segment.
6The reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate enacted by the U.S. Tax Act resulted in a one-time net charge to earnings during the first quarter of 2018 of $453 million, comprising a net $48 million pre-tax charge related to the write-down of certain tax credit-related investments, partially offset by the favourable impact of the Bank's share of TD Ameritrade's remeasurement of its deferred income tax balances, and a $405 million income tax expense resulting from the remeasurement of the Bank's deferred tax assets and liabilities to the lower base rate of 21% and other related tax adjustments. The amount was estimated during the first quarter of 2018, and was updated during the third quarter of 2018, resulting in a net $61 million deferred income tax benefit. The earnings impact was reported in the Corporate segment.
7On 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 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.
8The Bank changed its trading strategy with respect to certain trading debt securities and reclassified these securities from trading to AFS under IAS 39 (classified as fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) under IFRS 9) effective August 1, 2008. These debt securities are economically hedged, primarily with credit default swap (CDS) 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.
9The amounts reported for the three months ended January 31, 2018, and the nine months ended July 31, 2018, exclude $31 million relating to the one-time adjustment of associated deferred tax liability balances as a result of the U.S. Tax Act. The impact of this adjustment is included in the Impact from U.S. tax reform item of note.

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 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 2018. Shareholder performance indicators help guide and benchmark the Bank's accomplishments. For the purposes of this analysis, the Bank utilizes adjusted earnings, which excludes items of note from the reported results that are prepared in accordance with IFRS. 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, 2018, increased 10% 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, 2018, was 17.1%.
For the twelve months ended July 31, 2018, the total shareholder return was 24.3% compared to the Canadian peer1 average of 11.2%.

 

Net Income

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Reported net income for the quarter was $3,105 million, an increase of $336 million, or 12%, compared with the third quarter last year. The increase reflects higher pre-provision earnings, a lower effective tax rate, including a tax benefit resulting from the Bank's current quarter update to the impact of U.S. tax reform previously estimated during the first quarter of 2018, and a higher contribution from TD Ameritrade. The increase is partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses, now reflecting the Bank's adoption of IFRS 9. Adjusted net income for the quarter was $3,127 million, an increase of $262 million, or 9%.

By segment, the increase in reported net income was due to an increase in U.S. Retail of $242 million, or 27%, an increase in Canadian Retail of $127 million, or 7%, and lower net loss in the Corporate segment of $37 million, or 25%, partially offset by a decrease in Wholesale Banking of $70 million, or 24%.

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q2 2018

Reported net income for the quarter increased $189 million, or 6%, compared with the prior quarter. The increase reflects higher pre-provision earnings, a lower effective tax rate reflecting a tax benefit resulting from the Bank's current quarter update to the impact of U.S. tax reform previously estimated during the first quarter of 2018, and a higher contribution from TD Ameritrade. Adjusted net income for the quarter increased $65 million, or 2%.

By segment, the increase in reported net income was due to an increase in U.S. Retail of $164 million, or 17%, lower net loss in the Corporate segment of $50 million, or 31%, and an increase in Canadian Retail of $19 million, or 1%, partially offset by a decrease in Wholesale Banking of $44 million, or 16%.

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Reported net income of $8,374 million increased $569 million, or 7%, compared with the same period last year. The increase reflects higher pre-provision earnings and a higher contribution from TD Ameritrade. The increase is partially offset by a higher effective tax rate reflecting the current year impact of U.S. tax reform and a change in business mix in Wholesale Banking, and a higher provision for credit losses, now reflecting the Bank's adoption of IFRS 9. Adjusted net income was $9,135 million, an increase of $1,151 million, or 14%, compared with the same period last year.

By segment, the increase in reported net income was due to an increase in Canadian Retail of $581 million, or 12%, and an increase in U.S. Retail of $528 million, or 21%, partially offset by a higher net loss in the Corporate segment of $500 million, and a decrease in Wholesale Banking of $40 million, or 5%.

 

Net Interest Income

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Net interest income for the quarter was $5,655 million, an increase of $388 million, or 7%, compared with the third quarter last year. The increase reflects higher margins and loan and deposit volume growth in the Canadian and U.S. Retail segments, and the benefit of the Scottrade transaction, partially offset by lower net interest income in Wholesale Banking.

By segment, the increase in net interest income was due to an increase in Canadian Retail of $256 million, or 10%, and an increase in U.S. Retail of $190 million, or 10%, partially offset by a decrease in Wholesale Banking of $53 million, or 16%, and a decrease in the Corporate segment of $5 million, or 2%.

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q2 2018

Net interest income for the quarter increased $257 million, or 5%, compared with the prior quarter primarily due the effect of three additional days in the current quarter, volume growth, higher deposit margins, and the impact of foreign currency translation.

By segment, the increase in net interest income was due to an increase in Canadian Retail of $167 million, or 6%, an increase in U.S. Retail of $137 million, or 7%, and an increase in the Wholesale Banking of $4 million, or 1%, partially offset by a decrease in the Corporate segment of $51 million, or 14%.

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Net interest income was $16,483 million, an increase of $966 million, or 6%, compared with the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to loan and deposit volume growth and higher margins in the Canadian and U.S. Retail segments, and the benefit of the Scottrade transaction, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation.

By segment, the increase in net interest income was due to an increase in Canadian Retail of $716 million, or 9%, an increase in the Corporate segment of $483 million, or 90%, and an increase in U.S. Retail of $417 million, or 7%, partially offset by a decrease in Wholesale Banking of $650 million, or 43%. The decrease in net interest income taxable equivalent basis (TEB) in Wholesale Banking reflects a change in business mix in the second quarter last year as a result of an increase in client activity in equity trading. The TEB adjustment is offset in Corporate segment.

Reported non-interest income for the quarter was $4,230 million, an increase of $211 million, or 5%, compared with the third quarter last year. The increase reflects higher fee-based income in the Canadian and U.S. Retail segments, an increase in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar increase to insurance claims, an increase in revenues from the insurance business, higher advisory and corporate lending, and the loss on sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe in the third quarter last year. The increase is partially offset by lower trading-related revenue primarily from losses on the revaluation of short-term trading deposits using own credit spreads, and losses on certain tax credit-related investments in the U.S. Retail segment.

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2018 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERSPage 9
 

 

By segment, the increase in reported non-interest income was due to an increase in Canadian Retail of $214 million, or 8%, and an increase in the Corporate segment of $68 million, or 72%, partially offset by a decrease in Wholesale Banking of $54 million, or 9%, and a decrease in U.S. Retail of $17 million, or 2%.

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q2 2018

Reported non-interest income for the quarter increased $161 million, or 4%, compared with the prior quarter. The increase reflects growth in fee-based income in the Canadian and U.S. Retail segments, higher advisory fees and corporate lending, the impact of foreign currency translation, and an increase in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar increase to insurance claims. The increase is partially offset by lower trading-related revenue primarily from losses on the revaluation of short-term trading deposits using own credit spreads.

By segment, the increase in reported non-interest income was due to an increase in Canadian Retail of $120 million, or 4%, an increase in the Corporate segment of $78 million, or 93%, and an increase in U.S. Retail of $44 million, or 7%, partially offset by a decrease in Wholesale Banking of $81 million, or 14%.

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Reported non-interest income was $12,229 million, an increase of $867 million, or 8%, compared with the same period last year. The increase reflects higher non-interest income in Wholesale Banking, higher fee-based income in the Canadian and U.S. Retail segments, an increase in non-interest income from the insurance business, and an increase in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar increase to insurance claims. The increase is partially offset by losses on certain tax credit-related investments. Adjusted non-interest income was $12,318 million, an increase of $955 million, or 8%.

By segment, the increase in reported non-interest income was due to an increase in Wholesale Banking of $615 million, or 59%, and an increase in Canadian Retail of $481 million, or 6%, partially offset by a decrease in the Corporate segment of $218 million, or 52%, and a decrease in U.S. Retail of $11 million, or 1%. The increase in Wholesale Banking reflects a change in business mix in the second quarter last year, offset in net interest income (TEB).

 

Provision for Credit Losses

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

PCL for the quarter was $561 million, an increase of $56 million, or 11%, compared with the third quarter last year. PCL – impaired for the quarter was $530 million, an increase of $22 million, or 4%. The increase primarily reflects volume growth, seasoning and mix in the U.S. credit card and U.S. auto portfolios, partially offset by strong credit performance in Canadian Retail. PCL – performing for the quarter was $31 million, an increase of $34 million. The increase reflects the impact of methodology changes related to the adoption of IFRS 9 where Stage 2 loans are now measured based on a lifetime expected credit loss (ECL), and volume growth in the Canadian Retail portfolio, partially offset by a benefit in the Wholesale portfolio. Total PCL for the quarter as an annualized percentage of credit volume was 0.35%.

By segment, the increase in PCL was due to an increase in U.S. Retail of $42 million, or 23%, an increase in the Corporate segment of $20 million, or 23%, and an increase in Canadian Retail of $8 million, or 3%, partially offset by a decrease in Wholesale Banking of $14 million.

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q2 2018

PCL for the quarter increased by $5 million, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter. PCL – impaired for the quarter was $530 million, an increase of $10 million, or 2%. The increase reflects a recovery of provisions in the oil and gas sector in the prior quarter and volume growth in the Canadian Retail segment, partially offset by improved credit performance in the U.S. credit card and U.S. auto portfolios. PCL – performing for the quarter was $31 million, a decrease of $5 million, or 14%. The decrease primarily reflects a current period benefit in the Wholesale portfolio, partially offset by a prior quarter benefit due to lower volume growth in the U.S. commercial portfolio, a provision for trade related uncertainty, and volume growth in Canadian Retail. Total PCL for the quarter as an annualized percentage of credit volume was 0.35%.

By segment, the increase in PCL was due to an increase in Canadian Retail of $27 million, or 12%, and an increase in U.S. Retail of $18 million, or 9%, partially offset by a decrease in Wholesale Banking of $30 million, and a decrease in the Corporate segment of $10 million, or 9%.

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

PCL was $1,810 million, an increase of $172 million, or 11%, compared with the same period last year. PCL – impaired was $1,607 million, an increase of $164 million, or 11%, primarily reflecting volume growth, seasoning and mix in the U.S. credit card and U.S. auto portfolios, coupled with favourable parameter changes to the U.S. retail portfolio in the prior year, partially offset by strong credit performance in Canadian Retail. PCL – performing was $203 million, an increase of $8 million, or 4%. Total PCL as an annualized percentage of credit volume was 0.39%.

By segment, the increase in PCL was due to an increase in U.S. Retail of $84 million or 14%, an increase in the Corporate segment of $72 million, or 21% (largely reflecting PCL for the U.S. strategic cards portfolio, which is offset in Corporate segment non-interest expenses), and an increase in Wholesale Banking of $23 million, partially offset by a decrease in Canadian Retail of $7 million, or 1%.

Insurance claims and related expenses

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Insurance claims and related expenses for the quarter were $627 million, an increase of $108 million, or 21%, compared with the third quarter last year reflecting changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities, which resulted in a similar increase to non-interest income, increased reinsurance claims assumed, and more severe weather-related events, partially offset by lower current year claims and the impact of changes to forward-looking actuarial assumptions.

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q2 2018

Insurance claims and related expenses for the quarter increased $69 million, or 12%, compared with the prior quarter reflecting changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar increase to non-interest income, less favourable prior years' claims development, the seasonality of claims, and more severe weather-related events, partially offset by a decrease in reinsurance claims assumed and the impact of changes to forward-looking actuarial assumptions.

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Insurance claims and related expenses were $1,760 million, an increase of $129 million, or 8%, compared with the same period last year reflecting changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar increase to non-interest income, an increase in reinsurance claims assumed, higher current year claims, and more severe weather-related events, partially offset by more favourable prior years' claims development and the impact of changes to forward-looking actuarial assumptions.

 

Non-Interest Expenses and Efficiency Ratio

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Reported non-interest expenses were $5,117 million, an increase of $262 million, or 5%, compared with the third quarter last year reflecting higher spend related to strategic initiatives, higher employee-related expenses, and business volume growth. Adjusted non-interest expenses were $5,064 million, an increase of $267 million, or 6%.

By segment, the increase in reported non-interest expenses was due to an increase in Canadian Retail of $181 million, or 8%, an increase in U.S. Retail of $62 million, or 4%, an increase in Wholesale Banking of $14 million, or 3%, and an increase in the Corporate segment of $5 million, or 1%.

The Bank's reported efficiency ratio was 51.8%, compared with 52.3% in the third quarter last year. The Bank's adjusted efficiency ratio was 51.2%, compared with 51.4% in the third quarter last year.

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q2 2018

Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter increased $295 million, or 6%, compared with the prior quarter reflecting higher employee-related expenses, higher spend related to strategic initiatives, the impact of foreign currency translation, higher spend related to marketing and promotion, and restructuring. Adjusted non-interest expenses increased $320 million, or 7%.

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2018 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERSPage 11
 

 

By segment, the increase in reported non-interest expenses was due to an increase in Canadian Retail of $168 million, or 8%, an increase in the Corporate segment of $70 million, or 12%, an increase in U.S. Retail of $40 million, or 3%, and an increase in Wholesale Banking of $17 million, or 3%.

The Bank's reported efficiency ratio was 51.8%, compared with 50.9% in the prior quarter. The Bank's adjusted efficiency ratio was 51.2%, compared with 50.1% in the prior quarter.

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Reported non-interest expenses of $14,785 million increased $247 million, or 2%, compared with the same period last year primarily reflecting higher employee-related expenses, higher spend related to strategic initiatives, business volume growth, and restructuring, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation, and the revaluation of certain liabilities for post-retirement benefits. Adjusted non-interest expenses were $14,586 million, an increase of $233 million.

By segment, the increase in reported non-interest expenses was due to an increase in Canadian Retail of $281 million, or 4%, an increase in U.S. Retail of $114 million, or 3%, and an increase in Wholesale Banking of $21 million, or 1%, partially offset by a decrease in the Corporate segment of $169 million, or 8%.

The Bank’s reported efficiency ratio was 51.5%, compared with 54.1% in the same period last year. The Bank’s adjusted efficiency ratio was 50.6%, compared with 53.4% in the same period last year.

 

Income Taxes

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 19.7% for the third quarter, compared with 22.3% in the third quarter last year and 21.1% in the prior quarter. The year-over-year decrease was largely due to the Bank's current quarter update to the impact of U.S. tax reform on U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities previously estimated during the first quarter of 2018 and the lower U.S. federal tax rate associated with U.S. tax reform, partially offset by decreased client activity in equity trading in the current period. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the current quarter update to the impact of U.S. tax reform previously estimated during the first quarter of 2018.

2The tax effect for each item of note is calculated using the statutory income tax rate of the applicable legal entity.
3Adjusted effective income tax rate is the adjusted provision for income taxes before other taxes as a percentage of adjusted net income before taxes.

 

The Bank's adjusted effective tax rate was 21.4% for the quarter, lower than 22.2% in the third quarter last year and similar to 21.1% in the prior quarter. The year-over-year decrease was largely due to the lower U.S. federal tax rate associated with U.S. tax reform, partially offset by decreased client activity in equity trading in the current period. The quarter-over-quarter increase was largely due to changes in business mix.

 

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. The changes in the value of the Canadian dollar had an unfavourable impact on U.S. Retail segment earnings for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018, compared with the same period last year, as shown in the following table.

On a trailing twelve-month basis, a one cent appreciation/depreciation in the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar average exchange rate will increase/decrease U.S. Retail segment net income by approximately $52 million.

 

Economic Summary and Outlook

Global economic growth continues to meet expectations and near-term prospects remain favourable. The pace of global expansion is projected to average roughly 3.7% in both calendar years 2018 and 2019. Although growth in European economies slowed materially in the first half of calendar 2018, this was offset by a stronger-than-expected pace of U.S. expansion. Meanwhile, China's economy has remained resilient despite measures by authorities to slow excess credit growth.

With unemployment rates reaching new cyclical lows and inflation starting to pick up, a number of central banks are faced with the challenge of reducing the emergency monetary stimulus that has been in place since the 2008-09 financial crisis. Provided that inflation continues to accelerate gradually, major central banks will likewise scale back stimulus at a measured rate.

The initial estimate of real gross domestic product (GDP) revealed that U.S. growth rebounded to an annualized rate of 4.1% in the second calendar quarter, helped by a surge in agricultural exports ahead of the implementation of Chinese tariffs and a rebound of consumer spending. As such, real GDP growth is likely to moderate to a still-strong 3% in the second half of calendar 2018, supported by domestic demand. The U.S. is reaping the benefits of tax cuts and increased government spending, which are expected to add about 0.6 percentage points to growth in calendar 2018.

The economic benefit of fiscal stimulus should remain apparent in the first half of calendar 2019, but thereafter fade to leave GDP growth closer to the 2% mark by year-end. Rising incomes generated by a tight labour market suggest that consumer spending should remain a key driver of economic growth. Consistent with the economic outlook and building inflationary dynamics, the U.S. Federal Reserve is forecasted to increase its policy interest rate from its current range of 1.75% to 2%, to 3% to 3.25% by December 2019.

Mirroring the American growth pattern, Canada's economy appears on track to turn in a stronger performance in the second calendar quarter – of around 3.5% – shaking off some early-year softness. Instrumental to the growth acceleration is a resurgence of exports. But, similar to the U.S., some one-off factors were at play, notably the resolution of earlier production disruptions in the automotive and energy sectors. Not all the temporary influences have played out favourably for Canadian GDP growth. Changes to mortgage underwriting rules at the onset of calendar 2018 prompted a sharp downward response in both national home sales and prices during the first four months. The impact was particularly notable in higher-priced markets, such as the Greater Toronto and Vancouver areas. Data for May and June have brought forward tentative signs of stabilization in the Toronto area, but Vancouver appears to be still absorbing the additional weight of housing measures enacted in the February 2018 provincial budget. Regardless, the level of sales activity remains below recent peaks, by about 34% in Toronto and 53% in Vancouver. Outside of these areas, the housing data for other urban markets are mixed, activity in oil-related provinces still impacted by excess supply.

Looking past the data volatility from policy-related initiatives, Canadian economic growth should settle at around a 2% pace in the second half of calendar 2018, consistent with underlying fundamentals. Income gains are expected to limit further downside in housing and help maintain modest gains in consumer spending. Meanwhile, capacity pressures, low unemployment, and positive sentiment indicators all suggest that business investment will continue to expand.

The Bank of Canada raised its policy interest rate by 100 basis points (bps) between July 2017 and July 2018, and continues to indicate that further gradual rate increases are likely over the medium term. The pace of these increases should be tempered by uncertainties surrounding the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), as well as the increased sensitivity of highly-indebted households to rising interest rates. Only three additional 25 bps increases in the overnight rate are expected by the end of calendar year 2019.

This means that central bank policy interest rates are likely to move higher at a faster pace in the U.S. than in Canada, limiting the upside to the Canadian dollar. The currency is forecast to remain in a trading range of US76 cents to US79 cents in calendar year 2018, rising to a range of US78 cents to US80 cents in 2019.

Embedded in the Canadian outlook are a number of key downside risks, including the possibility of a renewed slowdown in housing activity and a period of household deleveraging. In addition, NAFTA negotiations remain unresolved, leaving levels of business uncertainty high, compounded by the risk of the imposition of further tariffs on Canadian goods exports. The risk of such an outcome also presents a downside to the U.S. outlook. There is also the likelihood that the boost to U.S. growth from fiscal stimulus may prove smaller than expected due to capacity limitations and an extended business cycle. Trade risks also extend beyond North America, as tensions build between China and the United States, potentially disrupting globally integrated supply chains. Lastly, a number of issues remain unresolved including negotiations over the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union, ongoing tensions in the Middle East, and populist threats to established political and economic systems. These all keep global uncertainty elevated and may drive periods of financial market 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 Bank's 2017 MD&A, and Note 29 Segmented Information of the Bank's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2017. 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.

Upon adoption of IFRS 9, the current period PCL related to performing (Stage 1 and Stage 2) and impaired (Stage 3) financial assets, loan commitments, and financial guarantees is recorded within the respective segment. Under IAS 39 and prior to November 1, 2017, the PCL related to the collectively assessed allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses that related to Canadian Retail and Wholesale Banking segments was recorded in the Corporate segment. Prior period results have not been restated. PCL on impaired financial assets includes Stage 3 PCL under IFRS 9 and counterparty-specific and individually insignificant PCL under IAS 39. PCL on performing financial assets, loan commitments, and financial guarantees include Stage 1 and Stage 2 PCL under IFRS 9 and incurred but not identified credit losses under IAS 39.

The reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate enacted by the U.S. Tax Act resulted in a one-time adjustment during the first quarter of 2018, and updated during the current quarter, to the Bank's U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities to the lower base rate of 21% as well as an adjustment to the Bank's carrying balances of certain tax credit-related investments and its investment in TD Ameritrade. The earnings impact of these adjustments was reported in the Corporate segment. The lower corporate tax rate had and will have a positive effect on TD's current and future earnings, which are and will be reflected in the results of the affected segments. The amount of the benefit may vary due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Bank has made, guidance that may be issued by applicable regulatory authorities, and actions the Bank may take to reinvest some of the savings in its operations. The effective tax rate for the U.S. Retail Bank declined in proportion to the reduction in the federal rate and is expected to remain near this level for the balance of 2018. For additional details, refer to "How the Bank Reports" and "Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Reconciliation of Adjusted to Reported Net Income" table in 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 certain dividends, is adjusted to its equivalent before-tax value. Using TEB allows the Bank to measure income from all securities and loans consistently and makes for a more meaningful comparison of net interest income with similar institutions. The TEB increase to net interest income and provision for income taxes reflected in Wholesale Banking's results are reversed in the Corporate segment. The TEB adjustment for the quarter was $26 million, compared with $59 million in the third quarter last year and $17 million in the prior quarter.

The reported contribution from TD Ameritrade of US$363 million increased US$110 million, or 43%, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to the Scottrade transaction, higher interest rates, increased trading volumes, and a lower corporate income tax rate, partially offset by charges associated with the Scottrade transaction and higher operating expenses. Adjusted contribution from TD Ameritrade was US$479 million, an increase of US$226 million, or 89%.

U.S. Retail Bank reported net income for the period was US$2,035 million, an increase of US$373 million, or 22%, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to higher loan and deposit volumes, higher deposit margins, fee income growth, the benefit of the Scottrade transaction, and a lower corporate income tax rate, partially offset by higher expenses and PCL. U.S. Retail Bank adjusted net income of US$2,048 million increased US$386 million, or 23%.

Revenue for the period was US$6,308 million, an increase of US$522 million, or 9%, compared with same period last year. Net interest income increased US$475 million, or 11%, primarily due to higher deposit margins, growth in loan and deposit volumes, and the benefit of the Scottrade transaction. Net interest margin was 3.25%, an increase of 18 bps, primarily due to higher deposit margins and balance sheet mix. Non-interest income increased US$47 million, or 3%, reflecting fee income growth in personal and commercial banking, and wealth management, partially offset by losses on certain tax credit-related investments.

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2018 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERSPage 17
 

 

Average loan volumes increased US$7 billion, or 5%, compared with the same period last year, due to growth in personal loans of 7% and business loans of 3%. Average deposit volumes increased US$20 billion, or 8%, reflecting 5% growth in personal deposits, 1% growth in business deposits, and a 17% increase in sweep deposit volume primarily due to the Scottrade transaction.

PCL was US$526 million, an increase of US$82 million, or 18%, compared with the same period last year. PCL – impaired was US$448 million, an increase of US$110 million, or 33%, primarily reflecting volume growth, seasoning, and mix in the credit card and auto portfolios, coupled with favourable parameter changes to the retail portfolio in the prior year. PCL – performing was US$78 million, a decrease of US$28 million, or 26%, primarily reflecting lower volume growth in the commercial portfolios. U.S. Retail PCL including only the Bank's contractual portion of credit losses in the U.S. strategic cards portfolio, as an annualized percentage of credit volume, was 0.48%, or an increase of 6 bps.

Reported non-interest expenses for the period were US$3,483 million, an increase of US$205 million, or 6%, compared with same period last year, reflecting higher investments in business initiatives, business and volume growth, higher employee related costs, and charges associated with the Scottrade transaction, partially offset by productivity savings. On an adjusted basis, non-interest expenses increased US$188 million, or 6%.

The reported and adjusted efficiency ratios for the period were 55.2% and 54.9% respectively, compared with 56.7%, for the same period last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter was $223 million, a decrease of $70 million, or 24%, compared with the third quarter last year reflecting lower

revenue and higher non-interest expenses, partially offset by a net recovery of PCL. The annualized ROE for the quarter was 14.0%, compared with 19.6% in the third quarter last year.

Wholesale Banking revenue is derived primarily from capital markets and corporate and investment banking services provided to corporate, government, and

institutional clients. Wholesale Banking generates revenue from corporate lending, advisory, underwriting, sales, trading and research, client securitization, trade

finance, cash management, prime services, and trade execution services. Revenue for the quarter was $795 million, a decrease of $107 million, or 12%, compared with the third quarter last year reflecting lower trading-related revenue primarily from losses on the revaluation of short-term trading deposits using own credit spreads, partially offset by higher advisory fees and corporate lending.

PCL for the quarter was a benefit of $14 million compared to no PCL in the third quarter last year. PCL – performing (recorded in the Corporate segment in the third quarter last year as incurred but not identified credit losses under IAS 39) for the quarter was a benefit of $14 million primarily reflecting a reduction in Stage 2 volumes.

Non-interest expenses were $518 million, an increase of $14 million, or 3%, compared with the third quarter last year reflecting continued investments in client facing employees supporting the global expansion of Wholesale Banking's U.S. dollar strategy, partially offset by lower variable compensation.

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q2 2018

Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter decreased $44 million, or 16%, compared with the prior quarter reflecting lower revenue and higher non-interest expenses, partially offset by lower PCL. The annualized ROE for the quarter was 14.0%, compared with 18.7% in the prior quarter.

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2018 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERSPage 18
 

 

Revenue for the quarter decreased $77 million, or 9%, compared with the prior quarter reflecting lower trading-related revenue primarily from lower equity and other trading revenue and losses on the revaluation of short-term trading deposits using own credit spreads, partially offset by higher advisory fees and corporate lending.

PCL for the quarter was a benefit of $14 million compared to PCL of $16 million in the prior quarter. PCL – impaired was nil in the current quarter compared to a net recovery of $8 million in the prior quarter reflecting a recovery of provisions in the oil and gas sector. PCL – performing decreased by $38 million compared with the prior quarter primarily reflecting provisions taken for credit migration in the prior quarter and a current quarter benefit reflecting a reduction in Stage 2 volumes.

Non-interest expenses for the quarter increased $17 million, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter reflecting continued investments in client facing employees supporting the global expansion of Wholesale Banking's U.S. dollar strategy, partially offset by lower variable compensation.

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Wholesale Banking net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2018, was $768 million, a decrease of $40 million, or 5%, compared with the same period last year reflecting lower revenue, lower net recovery of PCL and higher non-interest expenses. The annualized ROE was 17.5%, compared with 17.8% in the same period last year.

Revenue was $2,542 million, a decrease of $35 million, or 1%, compared with the same period last year reflecting lower trading-related revenue primarily from lower interest rate and credit trading revenue, partially offset by higher corporate lending. Changes in net interest income (TEB) and non-interest income were impacted by business mix due to increased client activity in equity trading in the same period last year.

PCL was a benefit of $5 million compared with a benefit of $28 million in the same period last year. PCL – impaired was a net recovery of $8 million compared with a net recovery of $28 million last year reflecting a lower recovery of provisions in the oil and gas sector. PCL – performing (recorded in the Corporate segment in the same period last year as incurred but not identified credit losses under IAS 39) for the period was $3 million primarily reflecting credit migration, partially offset by a reduction in Stage 2 volumes.

Non-interest expenses were $1,530 million, an increase of $21 million, or 1%, compared with the same period last year reflecting continued investments in employees supporting the global expansion of Wholesale Banking's U.S. dollar strategy, partially offset by the revaluation of certain liabilities for post-retirement benefits and lower variable compensation.

3The reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate enacted by the U.S. Tax Act resulted in a one-time net charge to earnings during the first quarter of 2018 of $453 million, comprising a net $48 million pre-tax charge related to the write-down of certain tax credit-related investments, partially offset by the favourable impact of the Bank's share of TD Ameritrade's remeasurement of its deferred income tax balances, and a $405 million income tax expense resulting from the remeasurement of the Bank's deferred tax assets and liabilities to the lower base rate of 21% and other related tax adjustments. The amount was estimated during the first quarter of 2018 and was updated during the third quarter of 2018, resulting in a net $61 million deferred income tax benefit.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $113 million, compared with a reported net loss of $150 million in the third quarter last year. Reported net loss decreased primarily due to loss on sale of the Direct Investing business in Europe in the third quarter last year and the income tax benefit resulting from the Bank's current quarter update to the impact of U.S. tax reform previously estimated during the first quarter of 2018, partially offset by higher net corporate expenses and lower non-controlling interests. Net corporate expenses were higher largely due to the positive impact of tax adjustments in the third quarter last year and investments in advanced analytic capabilities in the current quarter. Adjusted net loss was $109 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $54 million in the third quarter last year.

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q2 2018

Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $113 million, compared with a reported net loss of $163 million in the prior quarter. Reported net loss decreased primarily due to the income tax benefit resulting from the Bank's current quarter update to the impact of U.S. tax reform previously estimated during the first quarter of 2018, partially offset by higher net corporate expenses in the current quarter. Net corporate expenses increased largely due to higher regulatory related expenses in the current quarter and timing of certain other expenses. Adjusted net loss was $109 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $90 million in the prior quarter.

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2018 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERSPage 19
 

 

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Corporate segment's reported net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2018, was $910 million, compared with a reported net loss of $410 million in the same period last year. The increase in reported net loss is primarily due to the impact from U.S. tax reform, lower contribution from Other items and non-controlling interests, and higher net corporate expenses in the current period. Lower contribution from Other items was largely due to favourable impact of tax items recognized in the same period last year. Net corporate expenses increased primarily due to the positive impact of tax adjustments in the same period last year and investments in advanced analytic capabilities in the current period. Adjusted net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2018, was $312 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $231 million in the same period last year.

2Not applicable.

 

Total assets were $1,293 billion as at July 31, 2018, an increase of $13 billion from November 1, 2017. The increase was primarily due to loans, net of allowances for loan losses of $32 billion, debt securities at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses of $24 billion, and trading loans, securities, and other of $20 billion. The increase was partially offset by decreases in cash and interest-bearing deposits with banks of $15 billion, financial assets at FVOCI of $13 billion, derivatives of $9 billion, non-trading financial assets at fair value through profit and loss of $5 billion, securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements of $5 billion, and other assets of $15 billion. The foreign currency translation impact on total assets, primarily in the U.S. Retail segment, was an increase of approximately $4 billion.

 

Cash and interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased $15 billion primarily due to lower volumes.

 

Trading loans, securities, and other increased $20 billion primarily due to higher securities positions.

 

Non-trading financial assets at fair value through profit or loss decreased $5 billion primarily due to maturities and sale of investments.

 

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

 

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income decreased $13 billion primarily due to maturities, partially offset by new investments.

 

Debt securities at amortized cost (net of allowance for credit losses) increased $24 billion due to new investments, partially offset by maturities.

 

Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements decreased $5 billion primarily due to a decrease in trading volumes.

 

Loans (net of allowance for loan losses) increased $32 billion primarily due to business and government loans, and consumer instalment and other personal loans.

 

Other assets decreased $15 billion primarily due to other amounts receivable from brokers, dealers and clients due to unsettled and pending trades.

 

Total liabilities were $1,215 billion as at July 31, 2018, an increase of $11 billion from November 1, 2017. The increase was primarily due to trading deposits of $28 billion, obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements of $6 billion, and deposits of $6 billion. The increase was partially offset by decreases in derivatives of $8 billion, subordinated notes and debentures of $3 billion, and other liabilities of $18 billion. The foreign currency translation impact on total liabilities, primarily in the U.S. Retail segment, was an increase of approximately $4 billion.

 

Trading deposits increased $28 billion primarily due to higher issuance of commercial paper and certificates of deposit.

 

Derivatives decreased $8 billion primarily due to netting of positions and current foreign exchange environment, partially offset by the current interest rate environment.

 

Deposits increased $6 billion primarily due to an increase in business and government deposits, and personal deposits, partially offset by a decrease in bank deposits.

 

Obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements increased $6 billion primarily due to an increase in trading volumes.

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2018 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERSPage 21
 

 

Subordinated notes and debentures decreased $3 billion primarily due to the Bank’s redemption of $650 million of 5.858% subordinated debentures, and all of its outstanding $1.8 billion 5.763% subordinated debentures.

 

Other liabilities decreased $18 billion primarily due to amounts payable to brokers, dealers and clients due to unsettled and pending trades.

 

Equity was $78 billion as at July 31, 2018, an increase of $3 billion, or 3%, from November 1, 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher retained earnings, partially offset by a decrease in other comprehensive income due to losses on cash flow hedges.

 

 

CREDIT PORTFOLIO QUALITY

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q3 2017

Gross impaired loans excluding Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) covered loans and other ACI loans were $2,964 million as at July 31, 2018, a decrease of $21 million, or 1%, compared with the third quarter last year. Canadian Retail gross impaired loans decreased $64 million, or 8%, compared with the third quarter last year driven by resolutions outpacing formations in the Canadian real estate secured lending portfolio, reflecting continued strong credit performance. U.S. Retail gross impaired loans increased $80 million, or 4%, compared with the third quarter last year reflecting the impact of foreign exchange. Wholesale gross impaired loans were nil, a decrease of $37 million compared with the third quarter last year reflecting resolutions in the oil and gas sector. Net impaired loans were $2,275 million as at July 31, 2018, a decrease of $55 million, or 2%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily reflecting resolutions outpacing new credit-impaired formations, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange.

The allowance for loan losses including off-balance sheet positions of $4,446 million as at July 31, 2018, was comprised of Stage 3 allowance for impaired loans of $709 million, Stage 2 allowance of $1,612 million, and Stage 1 allowance of $2,125 million collectively for performing loans and off-balance sheet positions.

The Stage 3 allowance for loan losses decreased $110 million, or 13%, compared with the counterparty-specific and individually insignificant allowances under IAS 39 in the third quarter last year primarily due to certain debt securities classified as loans under IAS 39 now classified as debt securities at amortized cost as a result of the adoption of IFRS 9, partially offset by an increase in the U.S. credit card portfolio and the impact of foreign exchange. The Stage 1 and Stage 2 allowance increased $339 million, or 10%, compared with the allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses under IAS 39 in the third quarter last year primarily due to the impact of methodology changes related to the adoption of IFRS 9 where Stage 2 loans are measured on a lifetime ECL methodology, and the impact of foreign exchange.

Effective November 1, 2017, the Bank adopted IFRS 9, which replaces the guidance in IAS 39. The Bank periodically reviews the methodology for assessing significant increase in credit risk and ECLs. Forward-looking information is incorporated as appropriate where macroeconomic scenarios and associated probability weights are updated quarterly and incorporated to determine the probability-weighted ECLs. Refer to Notes 2 and 3 of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the Bank's accounting policies and significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions as it relates to IFRS 9. As part of periodic review and quarterly updates, certain revisions may be made to reflect updates in statistically derived loss estimates for the Bank's recent loss experience of its credit portfolios and forward-looking views, which may cause a change to the allowance for ECLs. During the third quarter of 2018 no changes were made to the methodology.

Under IFRS 9, the Bank calculates allowances for expected credit losses on debt securities measured at amortized cost and FVOCI. The Bank has $225 billion in such debt securities of which $224.7 billion are performing securities (Stage 1 and 2) and $0.3 billion are impaired (Stage 3). The allowance for credit losses on debt securities at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI was $97 million and $6 million, respectively.

 

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2018 vs. Q2 2018

Gross impaired loans excluding FDIC covered loans and other ACI loans decreased $29 million, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter. Impaired loans net of allowance decreased $10 million, or 0.4%, compared with the prior quarter.

The Stage 3 allowance decreased $23 million, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter. The Stage 1 and Stage 2 allowance increased $55 million, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter.

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, 2018, the Bank had approximately $2.7 billion (October 31, 2017 – $2.5 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 3.26% on an annual basis (October 31, 2017 – 5.25%), remaining at cyclically low levels in the third quarter of 2018. These loans are recorded at amortized cost.

1Certain comparative amounts have been recast to conform with the presentation adopted in the current period.
2Exposures include interest-bearing deposits with banks and are presented net of impairment charges where applicable. There were no impairment charges for European exposures as at July 31, 2018, or October 31, 2017.
3Exposures are calculated on a fair value basis and are net of collateral. Total market value of pledged collateral is $16.2 billion (October 31, 2017 – $1.5 billion) for GIIPS and $54.8 billion for the rest of Europe (October 31, 2017 – $67.4 billion). Derivatives are presented as net exposures where there is an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreement.
4Trading and investment portfolio includes deposits and trading exposures are net of eligible short positions.
5The fair values of the GIIPS exposures in Level 3 in the trading and investment portfolio were not significant as at July 31, 2018, and October 31, 2017.
6The reported exposures do not include $0.2 billion of protection the Bank purchased through CDS (October 31, 2017 – $0.2 billion).
7Other European exposure is distributed across 8 countries (October 31, 2017 – 8 countries), each of which has a net exposure including loans and commitments, derivatives, repos and securities lending, and trading and investment portfolio below $1 billion as at July 31, 2018.

 

Of the Bank's European exposure, approximately 95% (October 31, 2017 – 96%) 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, and cash. The Bank also takes a limited amount of 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 $11.5 billion (October 31, 2017 – $9.5 billion) of exposure to supranational entities with European sponsorship and $2.7 billion (October 31, 2017 – $2.3 billion) of indirect exposure to 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.

 

 

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 regulatory 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 Bank's 2017 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 2018, the scalars for inclusion of the CVA for CET1, Tier 1, and Total Capital RWA are 80%, 83%, and 86%. All of the above scalars will increase to 100% in 2019 for the CET1, 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 November 1, 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 was capped at 1.25% of total RWA in the first quarter of 2017 and increases 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, 2018, the CCB is only applicable to private sector credit exposures located in Hong Kong, Sweden, Norway, and the United Kingdom. Based on the allocation of exposures and buffers currently in place in Hong Kong, Sweden, Norway, and the United Kingdom, the Bank's countercyclical buffer requirement is 0% as at July 31, 2018.

On June 25, 2018, OSFI provided greater transparency related to previously undisclosed Pillar 2 CET1 capital buffer through the introduction of the public Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB). The DSB is held by D-SIBs against Pillar 2 risks associated with systemic vulnerabilities including, but not limited to: i) Canadian consumer indebtedness; ii) asset imbalances in the Canadian market; and iii) Canadian institutional indebtedness. The level of the buffer ranges between 0% and 2.5% of total RWA and must be met with CET1 Capital. The current buffer is set at 1.5%, effectively raising the CET1 target to 9.5%. At a minimum, OSFI will review the buffer semi-annually and any changes will be made public. A breach of the buffer will not automatically constrain capital distributions; however, OSFI will require a remediation plan.

Effective in the second quarter of 2018, OSFI implemented a revised methodology for calculating the regulatory capital floor. The revised floor is based on the Basel II standardized approach, with the floor factor transitioned in over three quarters. The factor increased from 70% in the second quarter of 2018, to 72.5% in the current quarter, and will increase to 75% in the fourth quarter. The Bank is not constrained by the capital floor.

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

1Each capital ratio has its own RWA measure due to the OSFI-prescribed scalar for inclusion of the CVA. For fiscal 2017, the scalars for inclusion of CVA for CET1, Tier 1, and Total Capital RWA were 72%, 77%, and 81%. For fiscal 2018, the scalars are 80%, 83%, and 86%.

 

As at July 31, 2018, the Bank's CET1, Tier 1, and Total Capital ratios were 11.7%, 13.3%, and 15.4%, respectively. Compared with the Bank's CET1 Capital ratio of 10.7% at October 31, 2017, the CET1 Capital ratio increased due to implementation of the revised regulatory capital floor in the second quarter of 2018 and organic capital growth, partially offset by common shares repurchased, RWA growth across all segments, and the impact of U.S. tax reform.

 

As at July 31, 2018, the Bank's Leverage ratio was 4.1%, compared with the Bank’s Leverage ratio of 3.9% at October 31, 2017. The Leverage ratio increased due to capital generation and preferred share issuances, partially offset by business growth in the Canadian Retail and U.S. Retail segment.

 

Future Regulatory Capital Developments

Future regulatory capital developments, in addition to those described in the "Future Regulatory Capital Developments" section of the Bank's 2017 Annual Report, are noted below.

In August 2018, OSFI provided notification to the Bank setting a supervisory target Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) ratio at 23.0% of RWA, inclusive of the DSB, and the minimum TLAC leverage ratio at 6.75%. This is pursuant to the final guideline on TLAC issued by OSFI in April 2018. Beginning the first quarter of 2022, D-SIBs will be expected to meet the supervisory target TLAC requirements. Investments in TLAC issued by G-SIBs or Canadian D-SIBs may be required to be deducted from capital.

In August 2018, OSFI issued proposed revisions to the leverage requirements for public consultation. The revisions incorporate upcoming implementation of the standardized approach to counterparty credit risk (SA-CCR) and changes to the treatment of securitized assets in the first quarter of 2019.

In July 2018, OSFI released a discussion paper on the proposed implementation of the Basel III reforms for public consultation. The discussion paper sets out OSFI's proposed policy direction and timelines for domestic implementation. The Basel Committee on Banking Services (BCBS) issued the finalized Basel III reforms in December 2017. The reforms include: i) a revised internal ratings-based approach for credit risk where the use of the internal models are constrained by placing limits on certain inputs and the option to use advanced internal ratings based (AIRB) for certain asset classes has been removed; ii) a revised standardized approach for credit risk that is more granular and risk-sensitive; iii) replacement of the CVA framework with new standardized and basic approaches; iv) stream-lining the existing operational risk framework to a risk-sensitive standardized approach which will replace existing methodologies; v) revisions to the measurement of the leverage ratio and introduction of a leverage ratio buffer for global systemically important banks (G-SIBs); and vi) an aggregate output floor based on the revised Basel III standardized approaches, at a factor of 72.5% of total RWA. The reforms are effective the first quarter of 2022, with the standardized output floor having an added five-year phased implementation period until 2027. OSFI supports the changes proposed in the final reforms and intends to implement them, while making adjustments to reflect the domestic market.

In July 2018, OSFI released for public consultation revisions to the CAR guideline for implementation in the first quarter of 2019. The significant revisions relate to the domestic implementation of the SA-CCR and the capital requirements for bank exposures to central counterparties, as well as revisions to the securitization framework. SA-CCR includes a comprehensive, non-modelled approach for measuring counterparty credit risk of derivatives and long settlement transactions. The proposal allows a scalar of 0.7 to be applied to SA-CCR exposures that impact the CVA risk capital charge from the first quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2021. The proposed securitization framework includes a revised hierarchy to determine capital treatment, and preferential capital treatment for transactions that meet the simple, transparent, and comparable criteria.

In July 2018, BCBS issued a revised G-SIB framework; G-SIBs: revised assessment methodology and the higher loss absorbency requirement. The new assessment methodology introduces a trading volume indicator and modifies the weights in the substitutability category, amends the definition of cross-jurisdictional indicators, extends the scope of consolidation to insurance subsidiaries, and provides further guidance on bucket migration and associated loss absorbency surcharges. The revised methodology is expected to be implemented in 2021.

In May 2018 OSFI issued final guidelines on TLAC Disclosure Requirements and Capital Disclosure Requirements. Together, these guidelines set out the TLAC disclosure requirements for Canadian D-SIBs. The disclosure requirements are effective in the first quarter of 2019.

In March 2018, BCBS issued a consultative document on revisions to the minimum capital requirements for market risk. The key aspects of the proposal include changes to the measurement of the standardized approach, and recalibration of standardized approach risk weights for general interest rate risk, equity risk, and foreign exchange risk. The proposal also includes revisions to the assessment process to determine whether internal risk management models appropriately reflect the risks of trading desks.

In February 2018, BCBS issued a consultative document "Pillar 3 disclosure requirements – updated framework". Proposed disclosure changes arising from the finalization of the Basel III reforms include credit risk, operational risk, the leverage ratio, key metrics, and benchmarking RWA internal model outcomes. The proposal also contains new disclosure requirements on asset encumbrance and capital distribution constraints. The proposal seeks views on the scope of application of the disclosure requirement on the composition of regulatory capital that was introduced in the final standard on Phase 2 of the Pillar 3 Disclosure Requirements. Together with the first phase and second phase of the revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements, the proposed disclosure requirements would comprise the single Pillar 3 framework.

In December 2017, BCBS issued a discussion paper on the regulatory treatment of sovereign exposures. The purpose of the discussion paper is to seek views of stakeholders to inform the BCBS analysis on the treatment of sovereign exposures. The discussion paper clarifies the definitions of different sovereign entities, addresses inherent sovereign risk, and presents various ideas related to the treatment of sovereign exposures. The BCBS has not reached a consensus on the changes to the treatment of sovereign exposures and has therefore not issued a consultative document at this time.

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 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.

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 80% for fiscal 2018.

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 2018, increased due to growth in corporate lending in the Wholesale Banking segment and various portfolios in the Canadian Retail and U.S. 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 2018, 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. Effective the third quarter of 2018, OSFI approved the Bank to implement the credit risk AIRB approach to calculate the RWA on a credit card portfolio in the U.S. Retail segment.

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.

The Movement in risk levels category reflects changes in risk due to position changes and market movements. A decrease in the interest rate risk and the equity risk contributed to the decrease in the RWA. The Model updates category reflects updates to the model to reflect recent experience and change in model scope. The Methodology and policy category reflects newly adopted methodology changes to the calculations driven by regulatory policy changes. Foreign exchange movements and other are deemed not meaningful since RWA exposure measures are calculated in Canadian dollars. Therefore, no foreign exchange translation is required.

The movement in the Revenue generation category is due to a change in gross income. The Movement in risk levels category primarily reflects changes in risk due to operational loss experience, business environment, internal control factors, and scenario analysis. The Model updates category relates to model implementation, changes in model scope, or any changes to address model malfunctions. The Methodology and policy category reflects newly adopted methodology changes to the calculations driven by regulatory policy changes. 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 segment.

 

 

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 Bank's 2017 Annual Report. Additional information on risk factors can be found in the 2017 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 Bank's 2017 Annual Report.

 

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, 2018.

 

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 net revenue, reported on a taxable equivalent basis, within Wholesale Banking. Trading net revenue includes trading income and net interest income related to positions within the Bank's market risk capital trading books. For the quarter ended July 31, 2018, there were 2 days of trading losses and trading net revenue was positive for 97% 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 2018, 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.

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

 

Average VaR increased marginally both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter due to an increase in IDSR due to the positions in financial bonds. The year-over-year increase in average Stressed VaR was caused by the U.S. interest rate risk positions.

 

Average IRC decreased year-over-year and increased quarter-over-quarter due to 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 graph 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 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 interest rates. Closely matching asset and liability cash flows reduces EVaR and mitigates the risk of volatility in future net interest income.

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, 2018, an immediate and sustained 100 bps increase in interest rates would have decreased the economic value of shareholders' equity by $300 million (April 30, 2018 – $288 million) after tax. An immediate and sustained 100 bps decrease in interest rates would have reduced the economic value of shareholders' equity by $6 million (April 30, 2018 – $52 million) after tax.

 

The interest risk exposure, or EVaR, in the insurance business is not included in the above graph. Interest rate risk in the insurance business 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.

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is 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) guidelines. Under the LAR guidelines, 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 detailed 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 and 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 and Funding Committee (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 are 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 Liquidity Risk Management Framework annually and policies bi-annually.

Pursuant to the Enhanced Prudential Standards for Bank Holdings Companies and Foreign Banking Organizations, TD has established TD Group US Holdings LLC (TDGUS), as TD’s U.S. intermediate holding company (IHC), and a Combined U.S. Operations (CUSO) reporting unit 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 Bank's 2017 Annual Report. For a complete discussion of liquidity risk, refer to the "Liquidity Risk" section in the Bank's 2017 Annual Report.

 

Liquid assets

The unencumbered liquid assets TD holds to meet 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 meet 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.

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 day-to-day operations, including securities financing transactions, clearing and payments, and derivative transactions. Also includes assets that have been pledged to Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) to support the U.S. Retail business.
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, non-trading financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and other financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, securities at FVOCI, and DSAC.
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 performs liquidity stress testing on multiple alternate scenarios. These scenarios are a mix of TD-specific events and market-wide stress events designed to test the impact from risk factors material to TD’s risk profile. 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 Bank's 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 levels based on the severity and duration of the liquidity situation, and identifies governance protocols and recovery actions appropriate for each level. For each recovery action, it provides key operational steps required to execute the action. Regional CFPs identify recovery actions to address region-specific stress events. 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.

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 following table presents the additional collateral that could have been contractually required to be posted to the derivative counterparties at the reporting date in the event of one, two, and three-notch downgrades of the Bank's credit ratings.

LIQUIDITY COVERAGE RATIO

The 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 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 OSFI 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 OSFI LAR guidelines are primarily central bank reserves, sovereign issued or guaranteed securities, and high quality securities issued by non-financial entities.

3Weighted values are calculated after the application of respective HQLA haircuts or inflow and outflow rates, as prescribed by the OSFI LAR guidelines.
4As defined by the OSFI LAR guidelines, stable deposits from retail and small medium-sized enterprise (SME) customers are deposits that are insured, and are either held in transactional accounts or the depositors have an established relationship with the Bank that make deposit withdrawal highly unlikely.
5Operational 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.
6Includes 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.
7Adjusted HQLA includes both asset haircut and applicable caps, as prescribed by the OSFI LAR guidelines (HQLA assets after haircuts are capped at 40% for Level 2 and 15% for Level 2B).
8Adjusted Net Cash Outflows include both inflow and outflow rates and applicable caps, as prescribed by the OSFI LAR guidelines (inflows are capped at 75% of outflows).

 

 

The Bank’s average LCR of 127% for quarter ended July 31, 2018, continues to meet the regulatory requirements.

The Bank holds a variety of liquid assets commensurate with liquidity needs in the organization. Many of these assets qualify as HQLA under the OSFI LAR guidelines. The average HQLA of the Bank for the quarter ended July 31, 2018, was $212 billion (April 30, 2018 – $217 billion), with Level 1 assets representing 80% (April 30, 2018 – 80%). The Bank’s reported HQLA excludes excess HQLA from the U.S. Retail operations, as required by the OSFI LAR guidelines, 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.

As described in the "How TD Manages Liquidity Risk" section of the Bank's 2017 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 70% of total funding.

 

 

  TABLE 41: SUMMARY OF DEPOSIT FUNDING            
  (millions of Canadian dollars)       As at     
      July 31    October 31     
    2018  2017     
  P&C deposits – Canadian Retail $ 355,626  $ 350,446

  Other deposits   71    99     
  Total $ 695,981  $ 686,847     

 

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 types. 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

Capital Securities Program ($10 billion)

 

Canadian Senior Medium Term Linked Notes Program ($2 billion)

 

HELOC Asset-Backed Security (ABS) Program (Genesis Trust II) ($7 billion)

U.S. SEC (F-3) Registered Capital and Debt Program (US$40 billion)

United Kingdom Listing Authority (UKLA) Registered Legislative Covered Bond Program ($40 billion)

 

UKLA Registered European Medium Term Note Program (US$20 billion)

 

 

The Bank 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, 2018, was $123.8 billion (October 31, 2017 – $109.3 billion).

The Bank maintains depositor concentration limits against short-term wholesale deposits so that it does not depend on small groups of depositors for funding. The Bank further limits short-term wholesale funding maturity concentration 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, 2018, was $0.7 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 – $0.6 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively). Other asset-backed securities issuance for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018, was $1.0 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 – nil and $0.7 billion, respectively). The Bank also issued $15.6 billion and $21.9 billion, respectively, of unsecured medium-term notes for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018 (three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 – nil and $4.5 billion, respectively) in various currencies and markets. The total covered bonds issuance for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018, was $4.5 billion and $7.3 billion, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 – nil and $4.6 billion, respectively).

 

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS CONCERNING LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING

On April 18, 2018, the Government of Canada published the final regulations under the Bank Act and the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (CDIC Act) providing details of the bank recapitalization "bail-in" regime. The issuance regulations under the Bank Act and the conversion regulations under the CDIC Act will come into force on September 23, 2018, while the compensation regulations under the CDIC Act were brought into force immediately upon registration on March 27, 2018. The bail-in regulations represent the final step in the implementation of the bail-in regime which provides the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) with the power to convert specified eligible liabilities of D-SIBs into common shares in the unlikely event the D-SIB becomes 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.

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. Based on implementation progress at the international level, OSFI has determined that it will target a revised NSFR implementation date of January 2020. Relevant areas of the LAR guideline have been updated to reflect the implementation delay.

 

 

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 the assessment of liquidity profile 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 Bank's 2017 Annual Report for further details. There have been no significant changes to the Bank's securitization and off-balance sheet arrangements during the quarter ended July 31, 2018.

 

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 consolidated 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.

 

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 ECLs 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. TD's maximum potential exposure to loss due to its ownership interest in commercial paper and through the provision of liquidity facilities for multi-seller conduits was $11.1 billion as at July 31, 2018 (October 31, 2017 – $13.2 billion). Further, as at July 31, 2018, the Bank had committed to provide an additional $2.3 billion in liquidity facilities that can be used to support future asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) in the purchase of deal-specific assets (October 31, 2017 –$2.9 billion).

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 of $2.7 billion as at July 31, 2018 (October 31, 2017 $1.5 billion). The assets within these conduits are comprised of individual notes backed by automotive loan receivables, credit card receivables, equipment receivables and trade receivables. As at July 31, 2018, 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 third quarter 2018 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the 2017 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 third quarter 2018 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the 2017 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

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.

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. 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. 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 will apply the standard on a modified retrospective basis, recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of November 1, 2018. The Bank is continuing to assess the impact of the new standard on its financial statements, including the presentation of certain revenue and expense items, the timing and measurement of revenue recognition, as well as additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The Bank does not currently expect a significant impact as a result of adopting the new standard.

 

Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16), which will replace IAS 17, Leases (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 twelve 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 (IFRS 2), 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. These amendments will be applied prospectively and are not expected to have a significant 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. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

 

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting

In March 2018, the IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Revised Conceptual Framework), which provides a set of concepts to assist the IASB in developing standards and to help preparers consistently apply accounting policies where specific accounting standards do not exist. The framework is not an accounting standard and does not override the requirements that exist in other IFRS standards. The Revised Conceptual Framework describes that financial information must be relevant and faithfully represented to be useful, provides revised definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities, and confirms that different measurement bases are useful and permitted. The Revised Conceptual Framework is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, which will be November 1, 2020 for the Bank, with early adoption permitted. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of adopting the revised framework.

 

 

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. The Bank adopted IFRS 9 effective November 1, 2017, and has updated and modified certain internal controls over financial reporting as a result of the new accounting standard. Refer to Note 2 and Note 3 of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the Bank’s changes to accounting policies, procedures, and estimates.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

 

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 2017 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements except for the changes in accounting policies noted in Note 2 of this report. Certain comparative amounts have been restated/reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current period.

The preparation of the Interim 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 2017 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 3 in this report. 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, 2018, were approved and authorized for issue by the Bank's Board of Directors, in accordance with a recommendation of the Audit Committee, on August 29, 2018.

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 Bank's 2017 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes, and the shaded sections of the 2017 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 2017 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 2 in this report.

 

 

NOTE 2: CURRENT AND FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

 

CURRENT CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

The following new standard has been adopted by the Bank on November 1, 2017.

 

IFRS 9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

On November 1, 2017, the Bank adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9), which replaces the guidance in IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39). IFRS 9 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 annual 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. In January 2015, OSFI issued the final version of the Advisory titled "Early adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for Domestic Systemically Important Banks" which mandated that all domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs), including the Bank, were required to early adopt IFRS 9 for the annual period beginning on November 1, 2017. As such, on November 1, 2017, the Bank adopted IFRS 9 retrospectively. 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. However, the Bank made the decision not to restate comparative period financial information and has recognized any measurement differences between the previous carrying amounts and the new carrying amounts on November 1, 2017, through an adjustment to opening retained earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), as applicable. Refer to the Bank's 2017 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes for accounting policies under IAS 39 applied during those periods.

Amendments were also made to IFRS 7 introducing expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to IFRS 9, which the Bank has also adopted for the annual period beginning November 1, 2017.

 

Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets

With the adoption of IFRS 9, the Bank now classifies its financial assets into the following categories:

Amortized cost;
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI);
Held-for-trading;
Non-trading fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); and
Designated at FVTPL.

 

The Bank continues to recognize financial assets on a trade date basis.

 

 

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2018 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS Page 51

 

 

Debt Instruments

The classification and measurement for debt instruments is based on the Bank’s business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). Refer to Note 3 for judgment with respect to business models and SPPI.

 

The Bank has determined its business models as follows:

Held-to-collect: the objective is to collect contractual cash flows;
Held-to-collect-and-sell: the objective is both to collect contractual cash flows and sell the financial assets; and
Held-for-sale and other business models: the objective is neither of the above.

 

The Bank performs the SPPI test for financial assets held within the held-to-collect and held-to-collect-and-sell business models. If these financial assets have contractual cash flows which are inconsistent with a basic lending arrangement, they are classified as non-trading financial assets measured at FVTPL. In a basic lending arrangement, interest includes only consideration for time value of money, credit risk, other basic lending risks, and a reasonable profit margin.

 

Debt Securities and Loans Measured at Amortized Cost

Debt securities and loans held within a held-to-collect business model where their contractual cash flows pass the SPPI test are measured at amortized cost. The carrying amount of these financial assets is adjusted by an allowance for credit losses recognized and measured as described in the Impairment – Expected Credit Loss Model section of this note, as well as any write-offs and unearned income, which includes prepaid interest, loan origination fees and costs, commitment fees, loan syndication fees, and unamortized discounts or premiums. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate method (EIRM). Loan origination fees and costs are considered to be adjustments to the loan yield and are recognized in interest income over the term of the loan. Commitment fees are recognized in credit fees over the commitment period when it is unlikely that the commitment will be called upon; otherwise, they are recognized in interest income over the term of the resulting loan. Loan syndication fees are recognized in credit fees upon completion of the financing placement unless the yield on any loan retained by the Bank is less than that of other comparable lenders involved in the financing syndicate. In such cases, an appropriate portion of the fee is recognized as a yield adjustment in interest income over the term of the loan.

 

Debt Securities and Loans Measured at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income

Debt securities and loans held within a held-to-collect-and-sell business model where their contractual cash flows pass the SPPI test are measured at FVOCI. Fair value changes are recognized in OCI, except for impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses on the instrument's amortized cost, which are recognized on the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income. The expected credit loss (ECL) allowance is recognized and measured as described in the Impairment – Expected Credit Loss Model section of this note. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to income and recognized in net securities gain (loss). Interest income from these financial assets is included in interest income using EIRM.

 

Financial Assets Held for Trading

The held-for-sale business model includes financial assets held within a trading portfolio if they have been originated, acquired, or incurred principally for the purpose of selling in the near term, or if they form part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of short-term profit-taking. Financial assets held within the held-for-sale business model consist of trading securities, trading loans, as well as certain debt securities and financing-type physical commodities that are recorded as securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Trading portfolio assets are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value as well as any gains or losses realized on disposal recognized in trading income. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Dividends are recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest is recognized on an accrual basis. Both dividends and interest are included in interest income.

 

Non-Trading Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Non-trading financial assets measured at FVTPL include financial assets held within the held-for-sale and other business models, for example debt securities and loans managed on a fair value basis. Financial assets held within the held-to-collect or held-to-collect-and-sell business models that do not pass the SPPI test are also classified as non-trading financial assets measured at FVTPL. Changes in fair value as well as any gains or losses realized on disposal are recognized in income (loss) from non-trading financial instruments at FVTPL. Interest income from debt instruments is included in interest income on an accrual basis.

 

Financial Assets Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Debt instruments in a held-to-collect or held-to-collect-and-sell business model can be designated at initial recognition as measured at FVTPL, provided the designation can eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring these financial assets on a different basis. The fair value through profit or loss designation is available only for those financial instruments for which a reliable estimate of fair value can be obtained. Once financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss, the designation is irrevocable. Changes in fair value as well as any gains or losses realized on disposal are recognized in income (loss) from financial instruments designated at FVTPL. Interest income from these financial assets is included in interest income on an accrual basis.

 

Equity Instruments

Equity investments are required to be measured at FVTPL (classified as non-trading financial assets measured at FVTPL), except where the Bank has elected at initial recognition to irrevocably designate an equity investment, held for purposes other than trading, at FVOCI. If such election is made, the fair value changes, including any associated foreign exchange gains or losses, are recognized in OCI and are not subsequently reclassified to net income, including upon disposal. Realized gains and losses are transferred directly to retained earnings upon disposal. Consequently, there is no review required for impairment. Dividends will normally be recognized in interest income unless the dividends represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Gains and losses on non-trading equity investments measured at FVTPL are included in income (loss) from non-trading financial instruments at FVTPL.

 

Classification and Measurement for Financial Liabilities

The Bank classifies its financial liabilities into the following categories:

Held-for-trading;
Designated at FVTPL; and
Other liabilities.

Financial Liabilities Held for Trading

Financial liabilities are held within a trading portfolio if they have been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term, or form part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short term profit-taking. Financial liabilities held for trading are primarily trading deposits, securitization liabilities at fair value, obligations related to securities sold short and obligations related to certain securities sold under repurchase agreements.

Trading portfolio liabilities are recognized on a trade date basis and are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value and any gains or losses recognized in trading income. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis and included in interest expense.

 

Financial Liabilities Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Certain financial liabilities that do not meet the definition of trading may be designated at FVTPL. To be designated at FVTPL, financial liabilities must meet one of the following criteria: (1) the designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency; (2) a group of financial liabilities is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or (3) the instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives unless a) the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract, or b) it is clear with little or no analysis that separation of the embedded derivative from the financial instrument is prohibited. In addition, the FVTPL designation is available only for those financial instruments for which a reliable estimate of fair value can be obtained. Once financial liabilities are designated at FVTPL, the designation is irrevocable. Liabilities designated at FVTPL are carried at fair value on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet, with changes in fair value as well as any gains or losses realized on disposal recognized in other income (loss), except for the amount of change in fair value attributable to changes in the Bank's own credit risk, which is presented in OCI. This exception does not apply to loan commitments or financial guarantee contracts. Interest is included in interest expense on an accrual basis.

 

Other Financial Liabilities

Deposits

Deposits, other than deposits included in a trading portfolio, are accounted for at amortized cost. Accrued interest on deposits, calculated using EIRM, is included in Other liabilities on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet and is recognized as interest expense.

 

Subordinated Notes and Debentures

Subordinated notes and debentures are accounted for at amortized cost. Accrued interest on subordinated notes and debentures is included in Other liabilities on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet. Interest, including capitalized transaction costs, is recognized on an accrual basis using EIRM as interest expense.

 

Reclassification of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except for financial assets for which the Bank changes its business model for managing financial assets. Such reclassifications of financial assets are expected to be rare in practice.

 

Impairment – Expected Credit Loss Model

The ECL model applies to financial assets, including loans and debt securities, measured at amortized cost, loans and debt securities measured at FVOCI, and loan commitments, and financial guarantees that are not measured at FVTPL.

The ECL model consists of three stages: Stage 1 – twelve-month ECLs for performing financial assets, Stage 2 – Lifetime ECLs for financial assets that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, and Stage 3 – Lifetime ECLs for financial assets that are impaired. ECLs are the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Bank in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows the Bank expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate. If a significant increase in credit risk has occurred since initial recognition, impairment is measured as lifetime ECLs. Otherwise, impairment is measured as twelve-month ECLs which represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to occur based on default events that are possible within twelve months after the reporting date. 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 reverts back to being measured based on twelve-month ECLs.

 

Significant Increase in Credit Risk

For retail exposures, significant increase in credit risk is assessed based on changes in the twelve-month 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.

For non-retail exposures, significant increase in credit risk is assessed based on changes in the internal risk rating (borrower risk ratings (BRR)) since initial recognition.

The Bank defines default as delinquency of 90 days or more for most retail products and BRR 9 for non-retail exposures. Exposures are considered impaired and migrate to Stage 3 when they are 90 days or more past due for retail exposures, rated BRR 9 for non-retail exposures, or when there is objective evidence that there has been a deterioration of credit quality to the extent the Bank no longer has reasonable assurance as to the timely collection of the full amount of principal and interest.

When determining whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of a financial asset, the Bank considers all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort about past events, current conditions, and forecast of future economic conditions. Refer to Note 3 for additional details.

 

Measurement of Expected Credit Losses

ECLs are measured as the probability-weighted present value of expected cash shortfalls over the remaining expected life of the financial instrument and 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, ECLs are measured over the period the Bank is exposed to credit risk. For example, ECLs for credit cards are measured over the borrowers' expected behavioural life, incorporating survivorship assumptions and borrower specific attributes.

 

 

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2018 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS Page 53

 

 

The Bank leverages its Advanced Internal Ratings Based models used for regulatory capital purposes and incorporates adjustments where appropriate to calculate ECLs.

 

Forward-Looking Information and Expert Credit Judgment

Forward-looking information is considered when determining significant increase in credit risk and measuring ECLs. Forward-looking macroeconomic factors are incorporated in the risk parameters as relevant.

Qualitative factors that are not already considered in the modelling are incorporated by exercising expert credit judgment in determining the final ECL. Refer to Note 3 for additional details.

 

Modified Loans

In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties, the Bank may grant certain concessionary modifications to the terms and conditions of a loan. Modifications may include payment deferrals, extension of amortization periods, rate reductions, principal forgiveness, debt consolidation, forbearance and other modifications intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. The Bank has policies in place to determine the appropriate remediation strategy based on the individual borrower.

If the Bank determines that a modification results in expiry of cash flows, the original asset is derecognized while a new asset is recognized based on the new contractual terms. Significant increase in credit risk is assessed relative to the risk of default on the date of modification.

If the Bank determines that a modification does not result in derecognition, significant increase in credit risk is assessed based on the risk of default at initial recognition of the original asset. Expected cash flows arising from the modified contractual terms are considered when calculating the ECL for the modified asset. For loans that were modified while having a lifetime ECL, the loans can revert to having twelve-month ECL after a period of performance and improvement in the borrower's financial condition.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses, Excluding Acquired Credit-Impaired (ACI) Loans

The allowance for loan losses represents management's best estimate of ECLs in the lending portfolios, including any off-balance sheet exposures, at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses for lending portfolios reported on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet, which includes credit-related allowances for residential mortgages, consumer instalment and other personal, credit card, business and government loans, is deducted from Loans on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet. The allowance for loan losses for loans measured at FVOCI is presented on the Interim Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. The allowance for loan losses for off-balance sheet instruments, which relates to certain guarantees, letters of credit, and undrawn lines of credit, is recognized in Other liabilities on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet. Allowances for lending portfolios reported on the balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposures are calculated using the same methodology. The allowance is increased by the provision for credit losses and decreased by write-offs net of recoveries and disposals. Each quarter, allowances are reassessed and adjusted based on any changes in management's estimate of the ECL. Loan losses on impaired loans in Stage 3 continue to be recognized by means of an allowance for loan losses until a loan is written off.

A loan is written off against the related allowance for loan losses when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Non-retail loans are generally written off when all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted, such as when a loan is sold, when all security has been realized, or when all security has been resolved with the receiver or bankruptcy court. Non-real estate retail loans are generally written off when contractual payments are 180 days past due, or when a loan is sold. Real estate secured retail loans are generally written off when the security is realized.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses on Debt Securities

The allowance for credit losses on debt securities represents management’s best estimate of ECLs. Debt securities measured at amortized cost are presented net of the allowance for credit losses on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet. The allowance for credit losses on debt securities measured at FVOCI are presented on the Interim Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. The allowance for credit losses is increased by the provision for credit losses and decreased by write-offs net of recoveries and disposals. Each quarter, allowances are reassessed and adjusted based on any changes in management’s estimate of the ECL.

 

Acquired Loans

Acquired loans are initially measured at fair value, which considers incurred and expected future credit losses estimated at the acquisition date and also reflects adjustments based on the acquired loan's interest rate in comparison to current market rates. On acquisition, twelve-month ECLs are recognized on the acquired loans, resulting in the carrying amount for acquired loans to be lower than fair value. When loans are acquired 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, they are generally considered to be ACI loans, with no ECLs recognized on acquisition. Acquired performing loans are subsequently accounted for at amortized cost based on their contractual cash flows and any acquisition related discount or premium, including credit-related discounts, is considered to be an adjustment to the loan yield and is recognized in interest income using EIRM over the term of the loan, or the expected life of the loan for acquired loans with revolving terms.

 

Acquired Credit-Impaired Loans

ACI loans are identified as impaired at acquisition based on specific risk characteristics of the loans, including past due status, performance history, and recent borrower credit scores. ACI loans are accounted for based on the present value of expected cash flows as opposed to their contractual cash flows. The Bank determines the fair value of these loans at the acquisition date by discounting expected cash flows at a discount rate that reflects factors a market participant would use when determining fair value including management assumptions relating to default rates, loss severities, the amount and timing of prepayments, and other factors that are reflective of current market conditions. With respect to certain individually significant ACI loans, accounting is applied individually at the loan level. The remaining ACI loans are aggregated provided that they are acquired in the same fiscal quarter and have common risk characteristics. Aggregated loans are accounted for as a single asset with aggregated cash flows and a single composite interest rate. Subsequent to acquisition, the Bank regularly reassesses and updates its cash flow estimates for changes to assumptions relating to default rates, loss severities, the amount and timing of prepayments, and other factors that are reflective of current market conditions. Probable decreases in expected cash flows trigger the recognition of additional impairment, which is measured based on the present value of the revised expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate as compared to the carrying value of the loan. The ECL in excess of the initial credit-related discount is recorded through the provision for credit losses. Interest income on ACI loans is calculated by multiplying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of ACI loans.

1Certain loans that met the definition of trading under IAS 39 have been reclassified to non-trading financial assets at FVTPL, as these loans are held within a business model that is managed on a fair value basis but are not subject to active and frequent buying and selling with the objective of generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in price.
2Certain available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities under IAS 39 are required to be measured at FVTPL under IFRS 9 as these securities do not pass the SPPI test. Previously recognized changes in fair value on these securities were reclassified to retained earnings.
3Certain debt securities designated at FVTPL under IAS 39 are required to be measured at FVTPL under IFRS 9 as they do not pass the SPPI test.
4Certain equity securities classified as AFS under IAS 39 have been reclassified to non-trading financial assets at FVTPL. Unrealized gains/losses on the AFS equity securities were reclassified to retained earnings. In addition, certain AFS equity securities were measured at cost under IAS 39 as they did not have a quoted market price in an active market and their fair value could not be reliably measured. Under IFRS 9, these equity securities are required to be measured at fair value as the exception under IAS 39 is no longer available. The difference between the cost and the fair value was recorded in retained earnings.
5Certain loans are held in a business model managed on a fair value basis under IFRS 9 and are therefore reclassified to non-trading financial assets at FVTPL.
6Certain business and government loans are required to be measured at FVTPL as they do not pass the SPPI test. The carrying value of these loans was adjusted to reflect their fair value with the difference recorded in retained earnings.
7Certain debt securities designated at FVTPL under IAS 39 have been similarly re-designated to be measured at FVTPL to achieve a significant reduction in accounting mismatch.
8Certain debt securities held by the Bank were designated at FVTPL under IAS 39. Under IFRS 9, the designation was revoked and these debt securities are held within a held-to-collect business model and are measured at amortized cost. Previously recognized changes in fair value of these securities were reversed through retained earnings. The fair value of these debt securities was $782 million as at July 31, 2018. Had the Bank not reclassified these debt securities to amortized cost, the change in fair value recognized on the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income would not have been material during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018. The effective interest rate of these debt securities determined on November 1, 2017 ranged from 0.55% to 1.38% and interest income of $3 million and $8 million was recognized during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018, respectively.
9Certain debt securities classified as AFS under IAS 39 were held within a business model with an objective to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows. The carrying value of these debt securities as at November 1, 2017 has been adjusted to amortized cost through AOCI. The fair value of these debt securities was $1.2 billion as at July 31, 2018. Had the Bank not reclassified these debt securities to amortized cost, the change in unrealized gains (losses) on AFS securities recognized on the Interim Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income would have been a loss of $6 million and $27 million during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018, respectively.
10Certain equity securities classified as AFS under IAS 39 have been designated to be measured at FVOCI under IFRS 9. Previously recognized impairment associated with these equity securities has been reclassified from retained earnings to AOCI.
11Certain business and government loans measured at amortized cost under IAS 39 are included in a held-to-collect-and-sell business model under IFRS 9 and are measured at FVOCI.
12Under IAS 39, certain debt securities were reclassified out of the AFS category to HTM at their fair value as of the reclassification date. Under IFRS 9, these debt securities are held within a held-to-collect business model and are measured at amortized cost. As at November 1, 2017, the carrying amount of these debt securities was adjusted through AOCI to reflect amortized cost measurement since their inception.
13Debt securities classified as loans have been reclassified as debt securities at amortized cost under IFRS 9.
14Refer to the impairment allowance reconciliation for remeasurement of credit losses under IFRS 9.
15Certain securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements were measured at amortized cost under IAS 39. These securities are included in a held-for-sale business model with a purpose to hold these instruments for trading and are measured at FVTPL.

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.

 

 

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. 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. 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 will apply the standard on a modified retrospective basis, recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of November 1, 2018. The Bank is continuing to assess the impact of the new standard on its financial statements, including the presentation of certain revenue and expense items, the timing and measurement of revenue recognition, as well as additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The Bank does not currently expect a significant impact as a result of adopting the new standard.

 

Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16), which will replace IAS 17, Leases (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 twelve 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 (IFRS 2), 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. These amendments will be applied prospectively and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Bank.

 

 

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2018 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS Page 57

 

 

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. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

 

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting

In March 2018, the IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Revised Conceptual Framework), which provides a set of concepts to assist the IASB in developing standards and to help preparers consistently apply accounting policies where specific accounting standards do not exist. The framework is not an accounting standard and does not override the requirements that exist in other IFRS standards. The Revised Conceptual Framework describes that financial information must be relevant and faithfully represented to be useful, provides revised definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities, and confirms that different measurement bases are useful and permitted. The Revised Conceptual Framework is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, which will be November 1, 2020 for the Bank, with early adoption permitted. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of adopting the revised framework.

 

 

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES, AND ASSUMPTIONS  

 

The estimates used in the Bank’s accounting policies are essential to understanding its results of operations and financial condition. Some of the Bank’s policies require subjective, complex judgments and estimates as they relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Changes in these judgments or estimates and changes to accounting standards and policies could have a materially adverse impact on the Bank’s Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank has established procedures to ensure that accounting policies are applied consistently and that the processes for changing methodologies, determining estimates, and adopting new accounting standards are well-controlled and occur in an appropriate and systematic manner.

 

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

Business Model Assessment

The Bank determines its business models based on the objective under which its portfolios of financial assets are managed. Refer to Note 2 for details on the Bank's business models. In determining its business models, the Bank considers the following:

Management's intent and strategic objectives and the operation of the stated policies in practice;
The primary risks that affect the performance of the business model and how these risks are managed;
How the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to management; and
The frequency and significance of financial asset sales in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and the expected future sales activities.

 

Sales in themselves do not determine the business model and are not considered in isolation. Instead, sales provide evidence about how cash flows are realized. A held-to-collect business model will be reassessed by the Bank to determine whether any sales are consistent with an objective of collecting contractual cash flows if the sales are more than insignificant in value or infrequent.

 

Solely Payments of Principal and Interest Test

In assessing whether contractual cash flows are SPPI, the Bank considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that they would not be consistent with a basic lending arrangement. In making the assessment, the Bank considers the primary terms as follows and assesses if the contractual cash flows of the instruments continue to meet the SPPI test:

Performance-linked features;
Terms that limit the Bank's claim to cash flow from specified assets (non-recourse terms);
Prepayment and extension terms;
Leverage features; and
Features that modify elements of the time value of money.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

Significant Increase in Credit Risk

For retail exposures, criteria for assessing significant increase in credit risk are defined at the appropriate product or portfolio level and vary based on the exposure's credit risk at origination. The criteria include relative changes in PD, absolute PD backstop, and delinquency backstop when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. Credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when one of the criteria is met.

For non-retail exposures, BRR is determined on an individual borrower basis using industry and sector-specific credit risk models that are based on historical data. Current and forward-looking information that is specific to the borrower, industry, and sector is considered based on expert credit judgment. Criteria for assessing significant increase in credit risk are defined at the appropriate segmentation level and vary based on the BRR of the exposure at origination. Criteria include relative changes in BRR, absolute BRR backstop, and delinquency backstop when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. Credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when one of the criteria is met.

 

Measurement of Expected Credit Loss

For retail exposures, ECLs are calculated as the product of PD, loss given default (LGD), and exposure at default (EAD) at each time step over the remaining expected life of the financial asset and discounted to the reporting date at the effective interest rate. PD estimates represent the point-in-time PD, updated quarterly based on the Bank's historical experience, current conditions, and relevant forward-looking expectations over the expected life of the exposure to determine the lifetime PD curve. LGD estimates are determined based on historical charge-off events and recovery payments, current information about attributes specific to the borrower, and direct costs. Expected cash flows from collateral, guarantees, and other credit enhancements are incorporated in LGD if integral to the contractual terms. Relevant macroeconomic variables are incorporated in determining expected LGD. EAD represents the expected balance at default across the remaining expected life of the exposure. EAD incorporates forward-looking expectations about repayments of drawn balances and expectations about future draws where applicable.

 

 

TD BANK GROUP • THIRD QUARTER 2018 • REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS Page 58

 

 

For non-retail exposures, ECLs are 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. Lifetime PD is determined by mapping the exposure’s BRR to point-in-time PD over the expected life. LGD estimates are determined by mapping the exposure’s facility risk rating (FRR) to expected LGD which takes into account facility-specific characteristics such as collateral, seniority ranking of debt, and loan structure. Relevant macroeconomic variables are incorporated in determining expected PD and LGD. Expected cash flows are determined by applying the expected LGD to the contractual cash flows to calculate cash shortfalls over the expected life of the exposure.

 

Forward-Looking Information

In calculating the ECL, the Bank employs internally developed models that utilize parameters for PD, LGD, and EAD. Forward-looking macroeconomic factors including at the regional level are incorporated in the risk parameters as relevant. Additional risk factors that are industry or segment specific are also incorporated, where relevant. Three forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios are generated by TD Economics as part of the ECL process: A base scenario, an upside scenario, and a downside scenario. The base scenario is updated quarterly. Upside and downside scenarios are 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 recommend probability weights to each scenario on a quarterly basis. The proposed macroeconomic scenarios and probability weightings are subject to robust management review and challenge process by a cross-functional committee that includes representation from TD Economics, Risk, Finance, and Business. ECLs calculated under each of the three scenarios are applied against the respective probability weightings to determine the probability-weighted ECLs.

 

Expert Credit Judgment

ECLs are recognized on initial recognition of the financial assets. Allowance for credit losses represents management's best estimate of risk of default and ECLs on the financial assets, including any off-balance sheet exposures, at the balance sheet date. Management exercises expert credit judgment in assessing if an exposure has experienced significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and in determining the amount of ECLs at each reporting date by considering reasonable and supportable information that is not already included in the quantitative models.

Management's judgment is used to determine the point within the range that is the best estimate for the qualitative component contributing to ECLs, based on an assessment of business and economic conditions, historical loss experience, loan portfolio composition, and other relevant indicators and forward-looking information that are not fully incorporated into the model calculation. Changes in these assumptions would have a direct impact on the provision for credit losses and may result in a change in the allowance for credit losses.

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 Bank's 2017 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, 2018. 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 Bank's 2017 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

2Fair value is the same as carrying value.
3Balances reflect the reduction of securities owned (long positions) by the amount of identical securities sold but not yet purchased (short positions).
4Refer to Note 2 for further details on financial assets that were re-classified to non-trading as a result of adoption of IFRS 9.
5As at October 31, 2017, includes Federal Reserve stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock of $1.4 billion which are redeemable by the issuer at cost which approximates fair value.
6As at October 31, 2017, the carrying values of certain AFS equity securities of $6 million are assumed to approximate fair value in the absence of quoted market prices in an active market and are excluded from the table above. As at July 31, 2018, these were included as FVOCI securities in the table above.

 

 

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.

 

There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018. During the three and nine months 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.

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.

Credit Quality of Debt Securities

The Bank evaluates non-retail credit risk on an individual borrower basis, using both a BRR and FRR, as detailed in shaded area of the "Managing Risk" section of the 2017 MD&A. This system is used to assess all non-retail exposures, including debt securities.

 

The following table provides the gross carrying amounts of debt securities measured at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI by internal risk ratings for credit risk management purposes, presenting separately those debt securities that are subject to Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 allowances.

Debt securities, net of allowance $ 224,594  $ 99  $ 236  $ 224,929   

 

As at July 31, 2018, the allowance for credit losses on debt securities at FVOCI was $6 million, inclusive within the FVOCI balance. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018, the Bank reported a provision (recovery) of credit losses of nil and $(2) million, respectively, on debt securities at amortized cost, and reported provision (recovery) for credit losses of $(9) million and $11 million, respectively, on debt securities at FVOCI.

 

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018, the Bank reported a gain of $25 million and $55 million, respectively, recorded in Other income (loss) on the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income, on the sale of certain debt securities at amortized cost. The sale resulted in a release of the related allowance for credit losses, reflected in the table above.

Credit Quality of Loans

In the retail portfolio, including individuals and small businesses, the Bank manages exposures on a pooled basis, using predictive credit scoring techniques as detailed in the shaded areas of the "Managing Risk" section of the 2017 MD&A. The following table maps PD ranges to risk levels for retail exposures:

For non-retail exposures, each borrower is assigned a BRR that reflects the PD of the borrower using proprietary industry and sector specific risk models and expert judgement. TD's 21-point BRR scale broadly aligns to external ratings as follows:

 

Description Rating Category Standard & Poor's Moody's Investor Services
Investment grade 0 to 1C AAA to AA- Aaa to Aa3
2A to 2C A+ to A- A1 to A3
3A to 3C BBB+ to BBB- Baa1 to Baa3
Non-investment grade 4A to 4C BB+ to BB- Ba1 to Ba3
5A to 5C B+ to B- B1 to B3

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Relevant macroeconomic factors are incorporated in the risk parameters as appropriate. Additional macroeconomic factors that are industry-specific or segment-specific are also incorporated where relevant. The key macroeconomic variables that are incorporated in determining ECLs include regional unemployment rates for all retail exposures and regional housing price index for residential mortgages and home equity lines of credit. For business and government loans, the key macroeconomic variables include gross domestic product, unemployment rates, interest rates, and credit spreads. Refer to Note 2 for a discussion on how forward-looking information is considered in determining whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and in the measurement of ECLs.

 

SENSITIVITY OF ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The allowance for credit losses is sensitive to the inputs used in internally developed models, macroeconomic variables in the forward-looking scenarios and respective probability weightings in determining the probability-weighted ECL, and other factors considered when applying expert credit judgment. Changes in these inputs, assumptions, models, and judgments would have a direct impact on the assessment for significant increase in credit risk and the measurement of ECLs.

 

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

NOTE 7: INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES  

 

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, 2018, the Bank's reported investment in TD Ameritrade was 41.22% (October 31, 2017 – 41.27%) of the outstanding shares of TD Ameritrade with a fair value of $17 billion (US$13 billion) (October 31, 2017 – $15 billion (US$12 billion)) based on the closing price of US$57.15 (October 31, 2017 – US$49.99) on the New York Stock Exchange.

During the nine months ended July 31, 2018, TD Ameritrade repurchased nil shares (for the year ended October 31, 2017 – nil 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, 2018 and July 31, 2017, TD Ameritrade did not experience any significant restrictions to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, or repayment of loans or advances.

 

The condensed financial statements of TD Ameritrade, based on its consolidated financial statements, are included in the following tables.

Holders of these shares will have the right to convert their shares into non-cumulative NVCC Floating Rate Preferred Shares, Series 19, subject to certain conditions, on April 30, 2023, and on April 30 every five years thereafter. Holders of the Series 19 Shares will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate dividends, if declared, at a rate equal to the three-month Government of Canada Treasury Bill yield plus 2.7%. The Series 18 Shares are redeemable by the Bank, subject to regulatory consent, at $25 per share on April 30, 2023, and on April 30 every five years thereafter.
2On July 31, 2018, the Bank redeemed all of its outstanding 5.4 million Non-cumulative Class A First Preferred Shares, Series S, at a redemption price of $25 per share, for an aggregate total of approximately $135 million.
3On July 31, 2018, the Bank redeemed all of its outstanding 4.6 million Non-cumulative Class A First Preferred Shares, Series T, at a redemption price of $25 per share, for an aggregate total of approximately $115 million.
4When 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 April 19, 2018, 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 20 million of the Bank's common shares. During the three months ended July 31, 2018, the Bank repurchased 19.4 million common shares under its NCIB at an average price of $75.15 per share for a total amount of $1.5 billion. During the nine months ended July 31, 2018, the Bank repurchased 20.0 million common shares under its NCIB at an average price of $75.07 per share for a total amount of $1.5 billion.

The Bank had repurchased 22.98 million common shares under its previous NCIB announced in March 2017, as amended in September 2017, at an average price of $60.78 per share for a total amount of $1.4 billion.

 

 

NOTE 14: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION  

 

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018, the Bank recognized compensation expense for stock option awards of $2.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively (three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 – $2.7 million and $12.0 million, respectively).

During the three months ended July 31, 2018 and July 31, 2017, nil stock options were granted by the Bank at a weighted-average fair value of nil per option. During the nine months ended July 31, 2018, 1.9 million stock options (nine months ended July 31, 2017 – 2.0 million stock options) were granted by the Bank at a weighted-average fair value of $6.28 per option (July 31, 2017 – $5.81 per option).

 

The following table summarizes the assumptions used for estimating the fair value of options for the nine months ended July 31.

However, future contribution amounts may change upon the Bank's review of current contribution levels during fiscal 2018.

 

 

NOTE 16: INCOME TAXES  

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "U.S. Tax Act"), which makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code.

The reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate enacted by the U.S. Tax Act triggered a remeasurement of the Bank’s U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities to the lower base rate of 21%. The Bank's provisional estimate for the three months ended January 31, 2018, and the six months ended April 30, 2018, was a reduction in the value of its net deferred tax assets resulting in $427 million deferred income tax expense recorded in the Provision for (recovery of) income taxes on the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income, $22 million deferred income tax benefit recorded in OCI, and $12 million deferred income tax expense recorded in retained earnings. The Bank updated its estimate during the three months ended July 31, 2018, resulting in a net $61 million deferred income tax benefit recorded in the Provision for (recovery of) income taxes on the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income.

The Bank will continue to analyze the U.S. Tax Act to determine the full effects of the new law on the Bank's financial statements. It is possible that the impacts of the U.S. Tax Act may differ from the current assessment due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Bank has made, guidance that may be issued by applicable regulatory authorities, and actions the Bank may take as a result of the U.S. Tax Act or otherwise.

The impact of the U.S. Tax Act on the Bank’s statutory and effective tax rate is outlined in the following table as part of the Rate differentials on international operations.

During the quarter ended July 31, 2018, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) reassessed the Bank for approximately $198 million of additional income tax and interest in respect of its 2013 taxation year. The CRA is denying certain dividend deductions claimed by the Bank. To date, the Bank has been reassessed for approximately $538 million of income tax and interest for the years 2011 to 2013. The Bank expects the CRA to reassess the 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 17: 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, 2018 and July 31, 2017, and the twelve months ended October 31, 2017.

1For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018, and the twelve months ended October 31, 2017, no outstanding options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. For 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.

 

 

NOTE 18: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES  

 

Other than as described below, there have been no new significant events or transactions as previously identified in Note 27 of the Bank's 2017 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, 2018, the Bank's RPL is from zero to approximately $713 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 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 actions 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 legal or regulatory actions may be material to the Bank’s consolidated results of operations for any particular reporting period.

 

Stanford Litigation – On November 21, 2017, the class plaintiffs filed a Rule 23(f) petition seeking permission to appeal the District Court’s denial of class certification to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit denied the class plaintiffs’ petition on April 20, 2018.

 

Overdraft Litigation – On December 5, 2017, TD Bank, N.A. was named as a defendant in a thirteenth class action complaint challenging the Bank's overdraft practices. The new action, which was transferred to MDL 2613, concerns the Bank's treatment of certain transactions as "recurring" for overdraft purposes. TD Bank has moved to dismiss this action. On February 22, 2018, in MDL 2613, the Court issued an order certifying a class as to certain claims and denying certification as to others. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denied TD Bank's 23(f) petition seeking permission to appeal certain portions of the District Court's order. On February 28, 2018, the Court dismissed the twelfth class action complaint. The plaintiff in that complaint filed a notice of appeal with the Fourth Circuit.

 

Credit Card Fees – The trial of the British Columbia action is scheduled to proceed in October 2019.

 

Consumer Class Actions – The Bank, along with several other Canadian financial institutions, is a defendant in a number of matters brought by consumers alleging provincial and/or national class claims in connection with various fees, interest rate calculations, and credit decisions. The cases are in various stages of maturity; no trial dates have been set. In one matter, the Bank is the sole defendant.

NOTE 19: SEGMENTED INFORMATION  

 

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.

Upon adoption of IFRS 9, the current period provision for credit losses related to performing (Stage 1 and Stage 2) and impaired (Stage 3) financial assets, loan commitments, and financial guarantees are recorded within the respective segment. Under IAS 39, and prior to November 1, 2017, the provision for credit losses related to the collectively assessed allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses that related to Canadian Retail and Wholesale Banking segments was recorded in the Corporate segment.

 

The following table summarizes the segment results for the three and nine months ended July 31.

NOTE 20: 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, 2018, 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. In addition, on June 25, 2018, OSFI provided greater transparency related to previously undisclosed Pillar 2 CET1 capital buffers through the introduction of the public Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB) which is held by D-SIBs against Pillar 2 risks. The current buffer is set at 1.5% of total risk-weighted assets (RWA) and must be met with CET1 Capital, effectively raising the CET1 target to 9.5%. Effective the second quarter of 2018, the Bank is no longer constrained by the regulatory floor as a result of implementing OSFI's revised capital floor requirements.

The following table summarizes the Bank's regulatory capital positions as at July 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017.

 

Regulatory Capital Position           
(millions of Canadian dollars, except as noted)   As at   
   July 31    October 31   
     2018      2017   
Capital              
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital $ 50,096    $ 46,628   
Tier 1 Capital   57,047      53,751   
Total Capital   65,933      65,038   
Risk-weighted assets used in the calculation of capital ratios              
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital $ 428,943    $ 435,750   
Tier 1 Capital   429,083      435,750   
Total Capital   429,222      435,750   
Capital and leverage ratios              
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio   11.7  %   10.7  %
Tier 1 Capital ratio   13.3      12.3   
Total Capital ratio   15.4      14.9   
Leverage ratio   4.1      3.9   
1In accordance with the final Capital Adequacy Requirements guideline, the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) capital charge is being phased in until the first quarter of 2019. Each capital ratio has its own RWA measure due to the OSFI prescribed scalar for inclusion of the CVA. For fiscal 2017, the scalars for inclusion of CVA for CET1, Tier 1, and Total Capital RWA were 72%, 77%, and 81%, respectively. For fiscal 2018, the corresponding scalars are 80%, 83%, and 86%, respectively. Prior to the second quarter of 2018, the RWA as it relates to the regulatory floor was calculated based on the Basel I risk weights which were the same for all capital ratios.
