TORONTO, Feb. 29, 2012 /CNW/ - Grupo Scotiabank today announced results for the fourth quarter of 2011. Scotiabank Mexico's fourth quarter consolidated net income was Cdn$62 million (P$831 million), compared to Cdn$72 million (P$878 million) in the same quarter last year. The decrease for the quarter was a result of lower net interest income and higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher non-interest revenues and lower provisions for credit losses.
These results are adjusted to reflect International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) prior to their inclusion in Scotiabank's first quarter 2012 financial results. Scotiabank Mexico's results included in Scotiabank's first quarter net income are estimated to be Cdn$64 million on an IFRS basis.
