TORONTO, Feb. 29, 2024 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group ("TD" or the "Bank") today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended January 31, 2024. Reported earnings were $2.8 billion, up 79% compared with the first quarter last year, and adjusted earnings were $3.6 billion, down 12%.

"TD had a good start to the year, with revenue growth reflecting higher fee-income from our markets-driven businesses, including the contribution from TD Cowen, and higher volumes and deposit margins in the Canadian Personal and Commercial Bank," said Bharat Masrani, Group President and Chief Executive Officer, TD Bank Group. "Expense growth moderated from last quarter as we made progress on our restructuring initiatives, delivering efficiencies across the Bank."

Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking delivered a strong quarter supported by volume growth and margin expansion
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net income was $1,785 million, an increase of 3% compared to the first quarter last year. The increase reflects revenue growth, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and provisions for credit losses (PCL). Revenue was $4,884 million, an increase of 6%, reflecting 8% growth in net interest income driven by volume growth and margin expansion.

Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking delivered another strong quarter for New to Canada account openings and continued momentum in credit cards. TD launched the Low Rate Visa card, further enhancing its award-winning line up of credit cards. In addition, TD Auto Finance delivered strong performance in prime retail auto lending and accelerated acquisition of dealer relationships in its commercial business year-over-year. Small Business Banking helped over 165,000 clients conveniently repay or refinance Canada Emergency Business Account loans.

The U.S. Retail Bank delivered loan growth and operating momentum in a challenging environment 
U.S. Retail reported net income of $907 million, a decrease of 43% (43% in U.S. dollars) compared with the first quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, net income was $1,217 million, a decline of 27% (27% in U.S. dollars). TD Bank's investment in The Charles Schwab Corporation ("Schwab") contributed $194 million in earnings, a decrease of 36% (35% in U.S. dollars) compared with the first quarter last year.

The U.S. Retail Bank, which excludes the Bank's investment in Schwab, reported net income of $713 million (US$526 million), a decrease of 44% (45% in U.S. dollars) from the first quarter last year, primarily reflecting the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) special assessment, lower revenue and higher PCL. On an adjusted basis net income was $1,023 million (US$752 million), a decrease of 25% (26% in U.S. dollars) from the first quarter last year.

The U.S. Retail Bank continued to deliver loan growth while maintaining its through-the-cycle underwriting standards, with total average loan balances up 9% compared with the first quarter last year and up 2% from last quarter. Average deposit volumes declined 9% year-over-year and 1% quarter-over-quarter. Excluding sweep deposits, total personal and business deposit average balances were down 2% year-over-year and flat quarter-over-quarter, reflecting competitive market conditions.

During the quarter, TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank® (TD AMCB) announced a three-year US$20 billion Community Impact Plan to support lending, philanthropy, and banking access in diverse and underserved communities across its footprint. TD AMCB continued to deliver innovative solutions to small business clients with the launch of Tap to Pay on iPhone and Zelle for Small Business, offering enhanced convenience and payment functionality.

Wealth Management and Insurance delivered good performance reflecting the strength of its diversified businesses
Wealth Management and Insurance net income was $555 million, relatively flat compared with the first quarter last year, as positive top-line momentum was partially offset by higher insurance service expenses. This quarter's revenue growth of 8% reflected insurance premium growth and higher fee-based revenue in the asset management and advice-based businesses.

This quarter, Wealth Management and Insurance's investments in client-centric innovation continued to drive momentum and gain recognition.TD Direct Investing ranked as the #1 Direct Investing Brokerage in Canada by the Globe and Mail for the second consecutive year. Eighteen mutual funds and ETFs managed by TD Asset Management received 2023 FundGrade A+ Awards by Fundata Canada Inc. for demonstrating strong risk-adjusted performance relative to industry peers, underscoring the expertise of the Bank's investment teams.

Wholesale Banking delivered record revenue 
Wholesale Banking reported net income for the quarter was $205 million, a decrease of $126 million compared with the first quarter last year, reflecting higher non-interest expenses which include integration-related costs of $117 million and a provision of $102 million taken in connection with the industry-wide U.S. record keeping matter, partially offset by higher revenues. On an adjusted basis, net income was $298 million, a decrease of $49 million or 14%. Revenue for the quarter was $1,780 million, an increase of $435 million, or 32%, compared with the first quarter last year, reflecting the segment's expanded capabilities from the inclusion of TD Cowen and strong performance across Global Markets and Corporate and Investment Banking.

This quarter, the Wholesale Bank continued to demonstrate its leadership in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG). TD Securities was joint lead manager on a 3-year (US$1.5 billion) Social Bond for the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to support low-income communities in emerging markets. The transaction represents IFC's largest social bond ever issued. TD Securities was also joint lead manager on a new (AUD$1.5 billion) Green Bond issued by KFW Development Bank, the issuer's largest ever transaction in the Australian market.

Continuing to innovate for customers
The Bank continued to enhance TD Invent, its enterprise approach to innovation, including reaching a milestone with over 700 patents across Canada and the U.S. as of this quarter. For the third consecutive year, the Bank was recognized by the Business Intelligence Group's annual BIG Innovation Awards, ranking highest in the Organization and Product categories for the TD Accessibility Adapter, a colleague-developed browser plug-in that helps to make online experiences more inclusive.

Capital
TD's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 13.9%.

Conclusion
"Looking ahead, TD is well-positioned from both a capital and funding perspective, with the capacity to continue to invest in our business and return capital to shareholders," said Masrani. "I want to thank our more than 95,000 TD bankers who continue to deliver for our customers, communities, and shareholders."

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 2023 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 heading "Significant Events" in the relevant MD&A, which applicable releases may be found on www.td.com. All such factors, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements, should be considered carefully when making decisions with respect to the Bank.

1	For the three months ended October 31, 2023 and January 31, 2023, certain amounts have been restated for the adoption of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17). Refer to Note 2 of the Bank's first quarter 2024 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
2	The Toronto-Dominion Bank ("TD" or 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 the "reported" results. The Bank also utilizes non-GAAP financial measures such as "adjusted" results and non-GAAP ratios to assess each of its businesses and to measure overall Bank performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank adjusts reported results for "items of note". Refer to the "How We Performed" section of this document for further explanation, a list of the items of note, and a reconciliation of adjusted to reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios used in this document are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.
3	These measures have been included in this document in accordance with the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada's (OSFI's) Capital Adequacy Requirements, Leverage Requirements, and Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) guidelines. Refer to the "Capital Position" section in the first quarter of 2024 MD&A for further details.
4	For additional information about this metric, refer to the Glossary in the first quarter of 2024 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference.
5	Efficiency ratio – adjusted, net of ISE is calculated by dividing adjusted non–interest expenses by adjusted total revenue, net of ISE. Adjusted total revenue, net of ISE – Q1 2024: $12,405 million, Q4 2023: $11,896 million, Q1 2023: $11,913 million. Effective the first quarter of 2024, the composition of this non-GAAP ratio and the comparative amounts have been revised.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

a) Restructuring Charges
The Bank continued to undertake certain measures in the first quarter of 2024 to reduce its cost base and achieve greater efficiency. In connection with these measures, the Bank incurred $291 million of restructuring charges which primarily relate to employee severance and other personnel-related costs and real estate optimization. The Bank continues to expect to incur restructuring charges in the first half of calendar 2024 that are of a similar magnitude to the restructuring charges incurred in the fourth quarter of 2023.

b) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Special Assessment
On November 16, 2023, the FDIC announced a final rule that implements a special assessment to recover the losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund arising from the protection of uninsured depositors during the U.S. bank failures in the spring of 2023. The FDIC special assessment resulted in the recognition of $411 million (US$300 million) pre-tax in non-interest expenses in the first quarter of the Bank's fiscal 2024. On February 23, 2024, the FDIC notified all institutions subject to the special assessment that its estimate of total losses has increased compared to the amount communicated with the final rule in November 2023. The FDIC plans to provide institutions subject to the special assessment an updated estimate with its first quarter 2024 special assessment invoice, to be released in June 2024. At this time, it is not known what the final FDIC special assessment will be, but the Bank expects the FDIC special assessment to increase.

HOW WE PERFORMED

HOW THE BANK REPORTS
The Bank prepares its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS and refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS as "reported" results.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
In addition to reported results, the Bank also presents certain financial measures, including non-GAAP financial measures that are historical, non-GAAP ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures, to assess its results. Non-GAAP financial measures, such as "adjusted" results, are utilized to assess the Bank's businesses and to measure the Bank's overall performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank adjusts for "items of note" from reported results. Items of note are items which management does not believe are indicative of underlying business performance and are disclosed in Table 3. Non-GAAP ratios include a non-GAAP financial measure as one or more of its components. Examples of non-GAAP ratios include adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted dividend payout ratio, adjusted efficiency ratio, net of ISE, and adjusted effective income tax rate. The Bank believes that non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Bank's performance. Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios used in this document are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. Supplementary financial measures depict the Bank's financial performance and position, and capital management measures depict the Bank's capital position, and both are explained in this document where they first appear.

U.S. Strategic Cards
The Bank's U.S. strategic cards portfolio is comprised of 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 PCL 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's 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.

Investment in The Charles Schwab Corporation and IDA Agreement
On October 6, 2020, the Bank acquired an approximately 13.5% stake in The Charles Schwab Corporation ("Schwab") following the completion of Schwab's acquisition of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation ("TD Ameritrade") of which the Bank was a major shareholder (the "Schwab transaction"). On August 1, 2022, the Bank sold 28.4 million non-voting common shares of Schwab, at a price of US$66.53 per share for proceeds of $2.5 billion (US$1.9 billion), which reduced the Bank's ownership interest in Schwab to approximately 12.0%.

   The Bank accounts for its investment in Schwab using the equity method. The U.S. Retail segment reflects the Bank's share of net income from its investment in Schwab. The Corporate segment net income (loss) includes amounts for amortization of acquired intangibles, the acquisition and integration charges related to the Schwab transaction, and the Bank's share of restructuring and other charges incurred by Schwab. The Bank's share of Schwab's earnings available to common shareholders is reported with a one-month lag. For further details, refer to Note 7 of the Bank's first quarter 2024 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

   On November 25, 2019, the Bank and Schwab signed an insured deposit account agreement (the "2019 Schwab IDA Agreement"), with an initial expiration date of July 1, 2031. Under the 2019 Schwab IDA Agreement, starting July 1, 2021, Schwab had the option to reduce the deposits by up to US$10 billion per year (subject to certain limitations and adjustments), with a floor of US$50 billion. In addition, Schwab requested some further operational flexibility to allow for the sweep deposit balances to fluctuate over time, under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations.

   On May 4, 2023, the Bank and Schwab entered into an amended insured deposit account agreement (the "2023 Schwab IDA Agreement"), which replaced the 2019 Schwab IDA Agreement. Pursuant to the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement, the Bank continues to make sweep deposit accounts available to clients of Schwab. Schwab designates a portion of the deposits with the Bank as fixed-rate obligation amounts (FROA). Remaining deposits over the minimum level of FROA are designated as floating-rate obligations. In comparison to the 2019 Schwab IDA Agreement, the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement extends the initial expiration date by three years to July 1, 2034 and provides for lower deposit balances in its first six years, followed by higher balances in the later years. Specifically, until September 2025, the aggregate FROA will serve as the floor. Thereafter, the floor will be set at US$60 billion. In addition, Schwab has the option to buy down up to $6.8 billion (US$5 billion) of FROA by paying the Bank certain fees in accordance with the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement, subject to certain limits. Refer to the "Related Party Transactions" section in the 2023 MD&A for further details.

   During the first quarter of 2024, Schwab exercised its option to buy down the remaining $0.7 billion (US$0.5 billion) of the US$5 billion FROA buydown allowance and paid $32 million (US$23 million) in termination fees to the Bank in accordance with the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement. The fees are intended to compensate the Bank for losses incurred this quarter from discontinuing certain hedging relationships, and for lost revenues. The net impact is recorded in net interest income.

2	For the three months ended October 31, 2023 and January 31, 2023, certain amounts have been restated for the adoption of IFRS 17. Refer to Note 2 of the Bank's first quarter 2024 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Return on Common Equity
The consolidated Bank ROE is calculated as reported net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity. The consolidated Bank adjusted ROE is calculated as adjusted net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity. Adjusted ROE is a non-GAAP financial ratio and can be utilized in assessing the Bank's use of equity.

   ROE for the business segments is calculated as the segment net income attributable to common shareholders as a percentage of average allocated capital. The Bank's methodology for allocating capital to its business segments is largely aligned with the common equity capital requirements under Basel III. Capital allocated to the business segments was increased to 11.5% Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital effective the first quarter of 2024, compared with 11% in fiscal 2023.

Return on Tangible Common Equity
Tangible common equity (TCE) is calculated as common shareholders' equity less goodwill, imputed goodwill and intangibles on the investments in Schwab and other acquired intangible assets, net of related deferred tax liabilities. ROTCE is calculated as reported net income available to common shareholders after adjusting for the after–tax amortization of acquired intangibles, which are treated as an item of note, as a percentage of average TCE. Adjusted ROTCE is calculated using reported net income available to common shareholders, adjusted for all items of note, as a percentage of average TCE. TCE, ROTCE, and adjusted ROTCE can be utilized in assessing the Bank's use of equity. TCE is a non-GAAP financial measure, and ROTCE and adjusted ROTCE are non-GAAP ratios.

HOW OUR BUSINESSES PERFORMED

For management reporting purposes, the Bank's business operations and activities are organized around the following four key business segments: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, U.S. Retail, Wealth Management and Insurance, 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 We Performed" section of this document, the "Business Focus" section in the Bank's 2023 MD&A, and Note 28 of the Bank's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2023. Effective the first quarter of 2024, certain asset management businesses which were previously reported in the U.S. Retail segment are now reported in the Wealth Management and Insurance segment. Comparative period information has been adjusted to reflect the new alignment.

   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.

   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 pre-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 results is reversed in the Corporate segment. The TEB adjustment for the quarter was $29 million, compared with $44 million in the prior quarter and $57 million in the first quarter last year.

   Share of net income from investment in Schwab is reported in the U.S. Retail segment. Amounts for amortization of acquired intangibles, the acquisition and integration charges related to the Schwab transaction, and the Bank's share of restructuring and other charges incurred by Schwab are recorded in the Corporate segment.

5	Capital allocated to the business segment was increased to 11.5% CET1 Capital effective the first quarter of 2024, compared with 11% in the prior year.
6	Net interest margin is calculated by dividing U.S. Retail segment's net interest income by average interest-earning assets. For the U.S. Retail segment, this calculation excludes the impact related to sweep deposits arrangements, intercompany deposits, and cash collateral. The value of tax-exempt interest income is adjusted to its equivalent before-tax value. For investment securities, the adjustment to fair value is included in the calculation of average interest-earning assets. Management believes this calculation better reflects segment performance. Net interest income and average interest-earning assets used in the calculation are non-GAAP financial measures.

Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $628 million, compared with a reported net loss of $2,617 million in the first quarter last year.

Net corporate expenses increased $63 million compared to the prior year, mainly reflecting investments in our risk and control infrastructure. The adjusted net loss for the quarter was $218 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $140 million in the first quarter last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q1 2024 vs. Q4 2023
