TORONTO, March 1, 2022 /CNW/ - Scotiabank reported first quarter net income of $2,740 million compared to $2,398 million in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $2.14, compared to $1.86 in the same period a year ago.
Adjusted net income(1) for the first quarter was $2,758 million and EPS was $2.15, up from $1.88 last year. Adjusted return on equity was 15.9% compared to 14.4% a year ago.
"2022 has started well reflecting the full earnings power of the Bank, with very strong operating results in all our four business lines. This quarter had strong loan growth, along with good fee income growth," said Brian Porter, President and CEO of Scotiabank.
"During the quarter, Scotiabank was named the Bank of the Year in Canada by The Banker magazine for the third consecutive year, further solidifying our role as a Leading Bank in the Americas. I am exceedingly proud of the ways in which our winning team has gone above and beyond to provide our clients with exceptional advice and a great banking experience, while delivering for our shareholder and community stakeholders. In addition, I am pleased to share that Scotiabank has been recognized for Best Corporate Sustainability Strategy at the ESG Investing Awards 2022 for our work addressing climate risk and promoting racial and gender equality."
Canadian Banking generated adjusted earnings(1) of $1,205 million, an increase of 32% compared to the prior year. Results were underpinned by higher revenues driven by strong loan growth and increased customer activity, favourable credit quality trends, and positive operating leverage.
International Banking adjusted earnings(1) were $552 million, an increase of 38% compared to the prior year. This was driven by strong mortgages and commercial loan growth, good expense management supported by customer adoption of digital channels, and lower provision for credit losses.
Global Wealth Management adjusted earnings(1) were $419 million, supported by solid sales momentum across our Asset Management business, double digit growth in Private Banking and strong growth across advisory businesses. AUM(2) and AUA(2) both increased 11% from the prior year.
Global Banking and Markets delivered another strong quarter, with earnings of $561 million. The results were driven by revenue growth across our capital markets and corporate and investment banking businesses, reflecting solid loan growth as well as lower provision for credit losses.
With a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio(3) of 12.0% the Bank remains well capitalized and positioned to continue to support strategic growth plans while returning capital to shareholders.

Non-GAAP Measures
The Bank uses a number of financial measures to assess its performance, as well as the performance of its operating segments. Some of these measures are presented on a non-GAAP basis and are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are not defined by GAAP and do not have standardized meanings that would ensure consistency and comparability among companies using these measures. The Bank believes that non-GAAP measures are useful as they provide readers with a better understanding of how management assesses performance. These non-GAAP measures are used throughout this press release and defined below.

Reconciliation of International Banking's reported, adjusted and constant dollar results
International Banking business segment results are analyzed on a constant dollar basis. Under the constant dollar basis, prior period amounts are recalculated using current period average foreign currency rates. The following table presents the reconciliation between reported, adjusted and constant dollar results for International Banking for prior periods. The Bank believes that constant dollar is useful for readers to understand business performance without the impact of foreign currency.

Return on equity
Return on equity is a profitability measure that presents the net income attributable to common shareholders (annualized) as a percentage of average common shareholders' equity.
The Bank attributes capital to its business lines on a basis that approximates 10.5% of Basel III common equity capital requirements which includes credit, market and operational risks and leverage inherent within each business segment.
Return on equity for the business segments is calculated as a ratio of net income attributable to common shareholders (annualized) of the business segment and the capital attributed.
Adjusted return on equity represents adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders (annualized) as a percentage of adjusted average common shareholders' equity.
Business Segment Review
Canadian Banking
Q1 2022 vs Q1 2021
Net income attributable to equity holders was $1,201 million, compared to $911 million. Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders was $1,205 million, an increase of $290 million or 32%. The increase was driven by lower provision for credit losses and higher revenues, partly offset by higher non-interest expenses.
Q1 2022 vs Q4 2021
Net income attributable to equity holders decreased $37 million or 3%. The decrease was due primarily to higher provision for credit losses and higher non-interest expenses, partly offset by higher revenues.
International Banking
Q1 2022 vs Q1 2021
Net income attributable to equity holders was $545 million, compared to $389 million. Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders was $552 million, an increase from $398 million.
Q1 2022 vs Q4 2021
Net income attributable to equity holders increased $17 million or 3% from $528 million. Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders increased $17 million or 3%, compared to $535 million last quarter.
Financial Performance on an Adjusted and Constant Dollar Basis
The discussion below on the results of operations is on an adjusted and constant dollar basis. Constant dollar basis excludes the impact of foreign currency translation, which is a non-GAAP financial measure (refer to Non-GAAP measures section on page 7). The Bank believes that reporting in constant dollar is useful for readers to understand business performance without the impact of foreign currency.
Q1 2022 vs Q1 2021
Net income attributable to equity holders was $545 million, compared to $361 million. Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders increased to $552 million from $369 million. This increase was driven by lower provision for credit losses, higher revenues and lower non-interest expenses, partially offset by higher income taxes.
Q1 2022 vs Q4 2021
Net income attributable to equity holders increased $27 million or 5% from $518 million. Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders increased by $27 million or 5%, compared to $525 million last quarter. This was due largely to higher revenues and lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher non-interest expense and higher income taxes.
Global Wealth Management
Q1 2022 vs Q1 2021
Net income attributable to equity holders was $412 million, down $6 million or 1%. Higher mutual fund fees and brokerage revenues were more than offset by higher volume-related expenses and lower online brokerage revenues from moderating customer activity, as well as the 15% impact of elevated seasonal performance fees in the prior year.
Q1 2022 vs Q4 2021
Net income attributable to equity holders increased $27 million or 7%. The increase was due primarily to higher brokerage revenues and seasonal performance fees, partially offset by volume driven expense growth.
Global Banking and Markets
Q1 2022 vs Q1 2021
Net income attributable to equity holders was $561 million, an increase of $18 million or 3%, due mainly to higher net interest and non-interest income, and lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses, and the negative impact of foreign currency translation.
Q1 2022 vs Q4 2021
Net income attributable to equity holders increased by $59 million or 12%, due mainly to higher net interest and non-interest income, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and lower reversal of provision for credit losses.
Other
Q1 2022 vs Q1 2021
Net income attributable to equity holders was a net loss of $67 million compared to net income of $47 million in the prior year. The decrease of $114 million was due primarily to lower investment gains and lower contribution from asset/liability management activities. This was partially offset by lower expenses mainly related to the Bank's increased investment in the SCENE loyalty program in the prior year.
Q1 2022 vs Q4 2021
Net income attributable to equity holders increased $97 million from the prior quarter, due primarily to the impact of restructuring and other provisions of $129 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted net income decreased $32 million due mainly to lower investment gains and higher income taxes, partially offset by lower expenses.
Credit risk
Provision for credit losses
Q1 2022 vs Q1 2021
The provision for credit losses was $222 million, compared to $764 million, a decrease of $542 million or 71%. The provision for credit losses ratio decreased 36 basis points to 13 basis points.
The provision for credit losses on performing loans was a net reversal of $183 million, a decrease of $185 million. Retail provisions decreased by $126 million, while commercial and corporate loan provisions decreased by $59 million. The decreases were due mainly to favourable credit quality and macroeconomic outlook.
The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $405 million, compared to $762 million, a decrease of $357 million or 47%, due primarily to lower retail provisions in International Banking, driven by lower formations across markets. The provision for credit losses ratio decreased 25 basis points to 24 basis points.
Q1 2022 vs Q4 2021
The provision for credit losses was $222 million, compared to $168 million, an increase of $54 million or 32%. The provision for credit losses ratio increased three basis points to 13 basis points.
The provision for credit losses on performing loans was a net reversal of $183 million, compared to a net reversal of $343 million last quarter. The net reversal this quarter includes approximately $210 million due to reduction of allowances built in fiscal year 2020 primarily in the retail portfolio, reflecting improvement in credit quality, with offsets mainly related to portfolio growth.
The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $405 million, compared to $511 million, a decrease of $106 million or 21% due primarily to lower retail provisions, mainly in International Banking, driven by lower formations. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 24 basis points, a decrease of seven basis points.
Allowance for credit losses
The total allowance for credit losses as at January 31, 2022 was $5,583 million. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $5,492 million, down $134 million from the prior quarter. The decrease was due primarily to releases of performing loan provisions driven by improved portfolio credit quality.
The allowance against performing loans was lower at $3,869 million compared to $3,971 million as at October 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily related to the Canadian Banking retail portfolio driven by releases due to improved portfolio credit quality.
The allowance on impaired loans decreased to $1,623 million from $1,655 million last quarter. The decrease was primarily related to the International Banking retail portfolios driven by lower formations across markets this quarter.
Impaired loans
Gross impaired loans decreased to $4,435 million as at January 31, 2022, from $4,456 million last quarter. The decrease was due primarily to write-offs partly offset by the impact of foreign currency translation. The gross impaired loan ratio was 64 basis points as at January 31, 2022, a decrease of three basis points from last quarter.
Net Impaired loans in Canadian Banking were $487 million as at January 31, 2022, a decrease of $18 million from October 31, 2021, primarily due to lower Commercial gross impaired loans driven by low formations. International Banking's net impaired loans were $2,097 million as at January 31 2022, a decrease of $2 million from October 31, 2021, as lower Retail gross impaired loans were partially offset by higher Commercial gross impaired loans. In Global Wealth Management, net impaired loans were $23 million as at January 31, 2022, an increase of $6 million from October 31, 2021, due primarily to new formations in the Retail portfolio. In Global Banking and Markets, net impaired loans were $205 million as at January 31, 2022, an increase of $25 million from October 31, 2021, due primarily to a new formation in Utilities sector. Net impaired loans as a percentage of loans and acceptances were 0.41% as at January 31, 2022, a decrease of one basis point from 0.42% last quarter.
Capital Ratios
The Bank's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio(1) was 12.0% as at January 31, 2022, a decrease of approximately 30 basis points from the prior quarter, due primarily to common share buybacks under the Bank's Normal Course Issuer Bid. Internal capital generation was offset by organic growth in risk-weighted assets across all business lines.
The Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio(1) was 13.4% as at January 31, 2022, a decrease of approximately 50 basis points from the prior quarter, due primarily to the phase-out impact of approximately $650 million of non-qualifying additional tier 1 instruments, the Bank's redemption of $500 million of Basel III compliant NVCC preferred shares and the above noted impacts to the CET1 ratio.
The Bank's Total capital ratio(1) was 15.1% as at January 31, 2022, a decrease of 80 basis points from the prior quarter, due primarily to the above noted impacts to the Tier 1 ratio, approximately $325 million of amortization of NVCC Tier 2 instruments and the phase-out impact of approximately $250 million of non-qualifying subordinated debentures.
The Leverage ratio(2) was 4.4% as at January 31, 2022, a decrease of approximately 40 basis points from the prior quarter, due primarily to OSFI's reversal of its temporary exclusion of sovereign-issued securities from its leverage exposure measure, combined with strong growth in the Bank's on and off-balance sheet assets.
The TLAC ratio(3) was 28.3% as at January 31, 2022, an increase of approximately 50 basis points from the prior quarter, due primarily to net TLAC instrument issuances of approximately $6.7 billion during the quarter and the above noted impacts to the Total capital ratio. The TLAC Leverage ratio(3) was 9.4%, a decrease of approximately 20 basis points, due primarily to increases in the leverage exposures measure as noted above for the Leverage ratio.
As at January 31, 2022, the CET1, Tier 1, Total capital, Leverage, TLAC and TLAC Leverage ratios were well above OSFI's minimum capital ratios.

The future outcomes that relate to forward-looking statements may be influenced by many factors, including but not limited to: general economic and market conditions in the countries in which we operate; changes in currency and interest rates; increased funding costs and market volatility due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank and its affiliates; changes in monetary, fiscal, or economic policy and tax legislation and interpretation; changes in laws and regulations or in supervisory expectations or requirements, including capital, interest rate and liquidity requirements and guidance, and the effect of such changes on funding costs; changes to our credit ratings; operational and infrastructure risks; reputational risks; the accuracy and completeness of information the Bank receives on customers and counterparties; the timely development and introduction of new products and services, and the extent to which products or services previously sold by the Bank require the Bank to incur liabilities or absorb losses not contemplated at their origination; our ability to execute our strategic plans, including the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions, including obtaining regulatory approvals; critical accounting estimates and the effect of changes to accounting standards, rules and interpretations on these estimates; global capital markets activity; the Bank's ability to attract, develop and retain key executives; the evolution of various types of fraud or other criminal behaviour to which the Bank is exposed; 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; increased competition in the geographic and in business areas in which we operate, including through internet and mobile banking and non-traditional competitors; exposure related to significant litigation and regulatory matters; climate change and other environmental and social risks, including sustainability that may arise, including from the Bank's business activities; the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events and claims resulting from such events; the emergence of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, including the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy, financial market conditions and the Bank's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects; and the Bank's anticipation of and success in managing the risks implied by the foregoing. A substantial amount of the Bank's business involves making loans or otherwise committing resources to specific companies, industries or countries. Unforeseen events affecting such borrowers, industries or countries could have a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial results, businesses, financial condition or liquidity. These and other factors may cause the Bank's actual performance to differ materially from that contemplated by forward-looking statements. 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 information, please see the "Risk Management" section of the Bank's 2021 Annual Report, as may be updated by quarterly reports.
Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document are set out in the 2021 Annual Report under the headings "Outlook", as updated by quarterly reports.
