TD Bank Group Reports First Quarter 2020 Results

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.”

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.

The following table provides the operating results on a reported basis for the Bank.

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.

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.

Quarterly comparison – Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019
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.

Canadian Retail revenue is derived from Canadian personal and commercial banking, wealth, and insurance businesses. Revenue for the quarter was $6,255 million, an increase of $267 million, or 4%, compared with the first quarter last year.
