TD Bank Group Reports First Quarter 2020 Results

Published

on

 

TD Bank Group (“TD” or the “Bank”) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended January 31, 2020. First quarter reported earnings were $3 billion, up 24% on a reported basis and 4% on an adjusted basis, compared with the same quarter last year.

“TD started the year with a solid quarter, reflecting volume growth on both sides of the border in our Retail businesses and strong revenues and earnings in our Wholesale business,” said Bharat Masrani, Group President and Chief Executive Officer, TD Bank Group. “Our strong performance demonstrates the advantages of our strategy and proven business model, as we continued to acquire new customers and engage with them in more innovative and personalized ways.”

The Bank also announced a dividend increase of five cents per common share for the quarter ending in April, an increase of 7%.

Canadian Retail
Canadian Retail reported net income was $1,789 million, up 30% from the first quarter last year, primarily reflecting charges related to the Air Canada agreement in the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted net income was $1,813 million, a decrease of 2% compared with the same quarter last year. Revenue growth of 4%, reflecting volume-based increases in net interest and other income across the businesses, was more than offset by higher non-interest expenses, provisions for credit losses, and insurance claims.

Canadian Retail continued to invest in its business and capabilities, further strengthening its position as Canada’s leading credit card issuer with the introduction of a new line of business cards that give business customers added flexibility and choice. In addition, TD Direct Investing was ranked highest among the banks in The Globe and Mail’s annual review of online brokers, reflecting continued investments in its WebBroker and mobile platforms and resources to help customers achieve their financial goals.

U.S. Retail
U.S. Retail net income was $1,146 million (US$869 million), a decrease of 8% (7% in U.S. dollars), compared with the same quarter last year. TD Ameritrade contributed $201 million (US$152 million) in earnings to the segment, a decrease of 35% (35% in U.S. dollars) compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to reduced trading commissions.

The U.S. Retail Bank, which excludes the Bank’s investment in TD Ameritrade, contributed $945 million (US$717 million), up 2% (2% in U.S. dollars) from the same quarter last year. Revenue was down 2% as loan and deposit volume growth was offset by reduced margins given the lower interest rate environment. Provision for income taxes benefitted from changes in estimates. The U.S. Retail Bank continued to invest in its digital capabilities and this quarter, increased its number of mobile active customers by 12%. TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank®, also recorded a milestone achievement in the quarter, ranking “highest in customer satisfaction”, among the national banks, according to the J.D. Power 2019 U.S. National Banking Satisfaction Study1 that evaluated banks from across the country.

Wholesale
Wholesale Banking reported net income of $281 million this quarter, an increase of $298 million, compared to the same quarter last year. Revenue for the quarter was $1,046 million, an increase of $464 million, compared with the first quarter last year, reflecting higher trading-related revenue and underwriting fees compared with the first quarter last year when the business experienced challenging market conditions. The Wholesale Bank continued to grow its banking and corporate lending relationships and gain market share, reflecting the investments made in its U.S. dollar strategy.

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

Innovation
“We continued to enhance our digital capabilities to provide customers with personalized and connected experiences and the ability to manage their finances across all of our channels,” continued Masrani. “Since launching our artificial intelligence-powered chatbot TD Clari last year, we have seen more than 90% of mobile chat interactions handled instantly. These and other investments are extending our competitive advantage and deepening our customer relationships across the Bank.”

Conclusion
“We are building for the future and are making strategic investments to extend our market differentiation and create lasting, trusted customer relationships across our businesses,” added Masrani. “While macroeconomic conditions may fluctuate, our strategy is clear, and our more than 85,000 colleagues are focused with passion and commitment on the work ahead.”

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 (“2019 MD&A”) in the Bank’s 2019 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 2020”, and for the Corporate segment, “Focus for 2020”, and in other statements regarding the Bank’s objectives and priorities for 2020 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, cyber security, and infrastructure), model, reputational, insurance, strategic, regulatory, legal, conduct, 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; geopolitical risk; the ability of the Bank to execute on long-term strategies and shorter-term key strategic priorities, including the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions, business retention plans, and strategic plans; the ability of the Bank to attract, develop, and retain key executives; disruptions in or attacks (including cyber-attacks or data security breaches) on the Bank’s information technology, internet, network access or other voice or data communications systems or services; fraud or other criminal activity 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 from incumbents and non-traditional competitors, including Fintech and big technology 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; Interbank Offered Rate (IBOR) transition risk; critical accounting estimates and changes to accounting standards, policies, and methods used by the Bank; existing and potential international debt crises; environmental and social risk; 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 2019 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 and Subsequent Events, and Pending Transactions” and “Significant Events and Pending Transactions” 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 2019 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 2020”, and for the Corporate segment, “Focus for 2020”, 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.

HOW WE PERFORMED

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.

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. Capital allocated to the business segments is based on 10.5% Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital in fiscal 2020 and 10% in fiscal 2019.
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.

For explanations of items of note, refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Reconciliation of Adjusted to Reported Net Income” table in the “How We Performed” section of this document.

Return on Tangible Common Equity
Tangible common equity (TCE) is calculated as common shareholders’ equity less goodwill, imputed goodwill and intangibles on an investment in TD Ameritrade 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 items of note, as a percentage of average TCE. Adjusted ROTCE provides a useful measure of the performance of the Bank’s income producing assets, independent of whether or not they were acquired or developed internally. TCE, ROTCE, and adjusted ROTCE are each non-GAAP financial measures and are not defined terms under IFRS. Readers are cautioned that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than IFRS do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND PENDING TRANSACTIONS

TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation and The Charles Schwab Corporation
On November 25, 2019, the Bank announced its support for the acquisition of TD Ameritrade, of which the Bank is a major shareholder, by The Charles Schwab Corporation, through a definitive agreement announced by those companies. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of calendar 2020, subject to all applicable closing conditions having been satisfied. Refer to the “Financial Results Overview – Significant and Subsequent Events, and Pending Transactions” section of the Bank’s 2019 MD&A for a discussion of the announced transaction.

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 2019 MD&A, and Note 29 Segmented Information of the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2019. 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.

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 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 $38 million, compared with $21 million in the first quarter last year and $36 million in the prior quarter.

Canadian Retail reported net income for the quarter was $1,789 million, an increase of $410 million, or 30%, compared with the first quarter last year, primarily due to charges related to the agreement with Air Canada in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, net income for the quarter was $1,813 million, a decrease of $42 million, or 2%, reflecting higher adjusted non-interest expenses, PCL, and insurance claims, partially offset by revenue growth. The reported and adjusted annualized ROE for the quarter was 37.1% and 37.6%, respectively, compared with 31.6% and 42.5%, respectively, in the first quarter last year.

Average deposit volumes increased $24 billion, or 7%, reflecting 7% growth in both personal and business deposits, and an 8% increase in wealth deposits. Net interest margin was 2.94%, consistent with the first quarter last year, reflecting competitive pricing and the impact of interest expense relating to lease liabilities recorded upon adoption of IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16), offset by favourable balance sheet mix from growth in deposits.

Non-interest income was $3,088 million, an increase of $144 million, or 5%, reflecting higher revenues from the insurance business and higher fee-based revenue in the wealth business.

Assets under administration (AUA) were $439 billion as at January 31, 2020, an increase of $43 billion, or 11%, compared with the first quarter last year, reflecting increases in market value and new asset growth. Assets under management (AUM) were $365 billion as at January 31, 2020, an increase of $33 billion, or 10%, compared with the first quarter last year, reflecting increases in market value.

PCL was $391 million, an increase of $81 million, or 26%, compared with the first quarter last year.

Insurance claims and related expenses for the quarter were $780 million, an increase of $78 million, or 11%, compared with the first quarter last year reflecting higher current year claims primarily from business growth.

Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter were $2,636 million, a decrease of $448 million, or 15%, compared with the first quarter last year, primarily due to prior year charges related to the agreement with Air Canada. On an adjusted basis, non-interest expenses were $2,612 million, an increase of $166 million, or 7%, reflecting higher spend supporting business growth, volume-driven expenses, and changes in pension costs, partially offset by a reduction in operating expense due to the adoption of IFRS 16.

The reported and adjusted efficiency ratio for the quarter was 42.1% and 41.8%, respectively, compared with 51.5% and 40.8%, respectively, in the first quarter last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019
Canadian Retail reported net income for the quarter increased $44 million, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting revenue growth, partially offset by higher insurance claims. On an adjusted basis, net income increased $40 million, or 2%. The reported and adjusted annualized ROE for the quarter was 37.1% and 37.6%, respectively, compared with 37.9% and 38.5%, respectively, in the prior quarter.

Net interest margin was 2.94%, a decrease of 2 bps, reflecting seasonality and the impact of interest expense relating to lease liabilities recorded upon adoption of IFRS 16.

Non-interest income increased $128 million, or 4%, reflecting higher revenues from the insurance business and higher fee-based revenue in the banking and wealth businesses. The increase in non-interest income also includes $54 million related to higher fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities, which resulted in a similar increase to insurance claims.

AUA increased $17 billion, or 4%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting increases in market value and new asset growth. AUM increased $12 billion, or 3%, reflecting increases in market value.

PCL decreased $9 million, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter. PCL – impaired decreased by $4 million. PCL – performing decreased $5 million. Total PCL as an annualized percentage of credit volume was 0.36%, or a decrease of 1 basis point.

Insurance claims and related expenses for the quarter increased $75 million, or 11%, compared with the prior quarter. The increase reflects less favourable prior years’ claims development and changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities, partially offset by lower current year claims and less severe weather-related events.

Reported non-interest expenses decreased $1 million, relatively flat, compared with the prior quarter. On an adjusted basis, non-interest expenses increased $5 million.

The reported and adjusted efficiency ratio for the quarter was 42.1% and 41.8%, respectively, compared with 43.0% and 42.5%, respectively, in the prior quarter.

Other items decreased primarily reflecting an unfavourable adjustment relating to hedge accounting, partially offset by higher revenue from other treasury and balance sheet management activities recognized in the first quarter this year. Net corporate expenses decreased largely due to restructuring charges incurred in the prior quarter. Adjusted net loss was $168 million compared with an adjusted net loss of $178 million in the prior quarter.

gtn-and-sbi-group-collaborate-to-launch-“sbi-saudi-arabia-equity-exchange-traded-fund-(etf)”

The launch marks the first ETF dedicated to investing in the Saudi Arabian stock market listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — GTN and SBI Holdings announced on October 30 at FII 8th Edition 2024 in Riyadh the launch of the “SBI Saudi Arabia Equity Exchange Traded Fund (ETF)”- a groundbreaking ETF dedicated to investing in the Saudi Arabian stock market and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. This fund marks a significant milestone as it represents the first ETF focusing exclusively on Saudi equities to be accessible to Japanese investors.

The collaboration between GTN and SBI Group stems from a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in May 2024 in Tokyo at the Saudi Japan Vision 2030 Event in the presence of H.E. Eng. Khalid bin Abdulaziz Al-Falih, the Minister of Investment.

Inspired by Vision 2030, the ETF is expected to reflect the performance of the Saudi market and attract Japanese investors due to Saudi Arabia’s significant economic transformation, sustainable growth, and advanced financial infrastructure. The ETF will be managed to achieve investment results linked to the “MSCI Saudi Arabia Index (yen equivalent basis)”. SBI Asset Management received the regulator’s approval, and the ETF was successfully listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 31, 2024. 

As per the MOU signed between the parties, SBI Asset Management will be responsible for creating, managing and promoting the ETF in Japan, while GTN will provide research, execution, clearing and settlement services to the ETF. 

SBI Group is a strategic investor of GTN and a key partner in GTN’s expansion plans in Asia.   

The Chairman of GTN and its mother company NTG, Mohammed Rashid Al Ballaa said: “We are excited about the collaboration between SBI Group and GTN to launch the first-ever Saudi-focused ETF in Japan. SBI Group has access to over 10 million customers and is ideally suited to promote an ETF linked to the Saudi market in Japan. This milestone was achieved thanks to Mr. Yoshitaka Kitao, the visionary leader and founder of SBI Group.” “The ongoing support of the Saudi Stock Exchange and the Ministry of Investment in Saudi Arabia were also essential success factors in reaching this milestone,” said Mr. Al Ballaa.      

At the FII conference in Riyadh, Mr. Yoshitaka Kitao said: “I am excited to be in the Kingdom and see the development that has taken place over the past few years. I am also excited to see the unfolding of the Vision 2030. I am confident that the Saudi Arabia ETF will provide Japanese investors the opportunity to participate and be part of the growth journey of Saudi Arabia.”
