THIRD QUARTER ADJUSTMENTS (ITEMS OF NOTE)
The third quarter reported earnings figures included the following items
of note:
- Amortization of intangibles of $117 million after tax (12 cents per
share), compared with $122 million after tax (15 cents per share) in
the third quarter last year.
- A loss of $14 million after tax (2 cents per share), due to the
change in fair value of derivatives hedging the reclassified
available-for-sale debt securities portfolio, compared with a loss of
$43 million after tax (5 cents per share) in the third quarter last
year.
- Integration and restructuring charges of $5 million after tax (1 cent
per share), relating to U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
acquisitions, compared with $70 million after tax (8 cents per share)
in the third quarter last year.
- A gain of $9 million after tax (1 cent per share), due to the change
in fair value of credit default swaps hedging the corporate loan
book, net of provision for credit losses (PCL), compared with a loss
of $75 million after tax (9 cents per share) in the third quarter
last year.
TORONTO, Sept. 2 /CNW/ - TD Bank Financial Group (TDBFG) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended July 31, 2010. Overall results for the quarter reflected very strong retail earnings growth.
"Our third quarter results really tell the growth story of our retail businesses on both sides of the border, with our total adjusted retail earnings hitting a new high of $1.3 billion, up 21% from last year. Canadian Personal and Commercial banking posted another record quarter - its third in a row - and our U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking operations also reported the highest level of adjusted earnings since we entered this market," said Ed Clark, President and Chief Executive Officer, TDBFG. "Wholesale Banking earnings continued to normalize, performing in line with expectations despite tougher markets in the quarter. We also saw the best credit quality and lowest credit losses in seven quarters across all of our businesses."
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking posted earnings of $841 million in the third quarter, up 24% from the same period last year. Revenue grew 8% while PCL declined by 19%. TD Canada Trust (TDCT) reported strong volume growth across most banking products, in particular real estate secured lending and business deposits. Also during the quarter, TDCT was ranked highest in Canadian banking customer satisfaction for the fifth year in a row by J.D. Power and Associates. In August, TDCT also received the Synovate award for excellence in customer service for the sixth year in a row.
"Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking delivered its third consecutive record quarter as we continue to invest in our people and stay focused on our commitment to providing the best possible service and convenience to our customers," said Tim Hockey, Chief Executive Officer, TDCT. "We expect continued strong earnings growth, but not at the rate we've seen this year, as the Canadian housing market cools and a competitive environment continues to put pressure on margins."
Wealth Management
Global Wealth net income, which excludes TDBFG's reported investment in TD Ameritrade, was $117 million in the quarter, up 23% from the same period last year, largely driven by fee revenue from higher client assets and improved net interest margin. TD Ameritrade contributed $62 million in earnings to the segment, down 9% from the same period last year, due to the impact of a stronger Canadian dollar which was partially offset by higher earnings.
"This was a solid quarter for the Wealth business. Our profit improved for the sixth quarter in a row and we continued to invest in our operations to ensure future growth," said Bill Hatanaka, Chief Executive Officer, TD Waterhouse. "However, we are cautious about the next several quarters, given the potential impact of a slowing U.S. economy on the equity markets."
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking generated US$271 million in reported net income for the quarter. On an adjusted basis, the segment earned US$276 million, up 30% from the third quarter of last year. Revenue grew 17% from the same period last year, driven by broad gains across the business, including deposit and loan growth, supported by an increase in retail fees. Total PCL dropped to US$126 million, down 23% compared with the same period last year.
During the quarter, TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank, announced an offer to purchase The South Financial Group, Inc. The transaction remains subject to approval by South Financial shareholders and certain regulators. The shareholders' meeting will be held on September 28, 2010, and assuming the necessary approvals are in place, the transaction is expected to close shortly thereafter.
"TD Bank had a very good quarter despite the uncertainty that continues to linger in the U.S. economy," said Bharat Masrani, Chief Executive Officer, TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank. "We remain pleased with the pace of our organic growth as we continue to lend to our customers. In fact, since the downturn started in 2007, we've grown our lending by 20%. We're also pleased with the performance of the three FDIC-assisted acquisitions in Florida that we completed in the second quarter."
Wholesale Banking
Wholesale Banking reported net income of $179 million, down 45% from the same period last year. Last year's very strong results reflected the broad-based market rebound following the financial crisis. In addition, the current quarter was negatively impacted by the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and the significant equity market disruption in early May. This resulted in lower fixed income, credit, and currency trading, and lower underwriting fees, partially offset by improved equity trading and investment portfolio gains.
"Our wholesale bank had a solid quarter, particularly given the difficult operating environment," said Bob Dorrance, Chief Executive Officer, TD Securities. "This quarter's challenging markets were a clear contrast to the very favourable conditions of a year ago. We expect markets to remain challenging in the short term while we continue to build our franchises and strengthen our platforms for future success."
Corporate
The Corporate segment, which includes the Bank's other activities, had an adjusted net loss of $182 million ($304 million on a reported basis), up $76 million from the adjusted results in the same period last year. The higher loss was largely attributable to unfavourable tax-related items and losses associated with hedging and treasury activities, partially offset by lower net corporate expenses.
Capital
TDBFG's Tier 1 capital ratio hit another high, at 12.5%, up 50 basis points from last quarter while risk-weighted assets remained stable. Capital quality remained very high, with tangible common equity comprising about 75% of Tier 1 capital.
"We'll have to wait to see the full scope and impact of proposed capital reforms," Clark said. "However, we hope that by the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we'll be in a position, in the context of the Board's outlook on earnings and the Bank's dividend policy, to provide some guidance."
Conclusion
"We're very pleased with the strong results and organic growth that we delivered in the third quarter. Our retail businesses continue to perform very well and leave us positioned to deliver a good year," Clark said. "We're confident that our excellent capital levels, recent acquisitions and the investments we've made in the business will help ensure that we continue to grow despite the continuing economic challenges."
The foregoing contains forward-looking statements. Please see the "Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" on page 3.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time, the Bank makes written and oral forward-looking
statements, including in this earnings news release, in other filings
with Canadian regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
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 applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation,
including the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements made in this
earnings news release in the "Business Outlook" section for each segment
and in other statements regarding the Bank's objectives and priorities
for 2010 and beyond and strategies to achieve them, and the Bank's
anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements are
typically identified by words such as "will", "should", "believe",
"expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "may" and "could".
By their very nature, these statements require the Bank to make
assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general
and specific. Especially in light of the current uncertainty related to
the financial, economic 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 such differences
include: credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign exchange
and interest rate), liquidity, operational, reputational, insurance,
strategic, regulatory, legal and other risks, all of which are discussed
in the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) in the Bank's 2009
Annual Report. Additional risk factors include the impact of recent U.S.
legislative developments, as discussed under "Significant Events in 2010"
in the "How We Performed" section of this earnings news release; changes
to and new interpretations of risk-based capital guidelines and reporting
instructions; increased funding costs for credit due to market
illiquidity and competition for funding; the failure of third parties to
comply with their obligations to the Bank or its affiliates relating to
the care and control of information; and the use of new technologies in
unprecedented ways to defraud the Bank or its customers and the organized
efforts of increasingly sophisticated parties who direct their attempts
to defraud the Bank or its customers through many channels. We caution
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 see the Risk Factors and Management
section of the MD&A, starting on page 65 of the Bank's 2009 Annual
Report. 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 undue reliance should not be placed on the Bank's forward-
looking statements.
Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements
contained in this document are set out in the Bank's 2009 Annual Report
under the heading "Economic Summary and Outlook", as updated in the Third
Quarter 2010 Report to Shareholders; and for each of the business
segments, under the headings "Business Outlook and Focus for 2010", as
updated in this earnings news release under the headings "Business
Outlook"; and for the Corporate segment in the report under the heading
"Outlook".
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.

second quarter ended April 30, 2009, the reporting periods of U.S.
entities are aligned with the reporting period of the Bank. Prior to
April 30, 2009, the reporting period of TD Bank, N.A. was included in

HOW WE PERFORMED
How the Bank Reports
The Bank prepares its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP and refers to results prepared in accordance with GAAP as "reported" results. The Bank also utilizes non-GAAP financial measures to arrive at "adjusted" results to assess each of its businesses and to measure overall Bank performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank removes "items of note", net of income taxes, 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 listed in the table on the following page. As explained, adjusted results are different from reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted results, items of note, and related terms used in this document are not defined terms under GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.
Effective April 30, 2009, the reporting periods of TD Bank, N.A., which operates as TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank, were aligned with the reporting period of the Bank to eliminate the one month lag in financial reporting. Prior to April 30, 2009, the reporting period of TD Bank, N.A. was included in the Bank's financial statements on a one month lag. In accordance with the CICA Handbook Section 1506, Accounting Changes, this alignment is considered a change in accounting policy. The Bank has assessed that the impact to prior periods is not material and therefore, an adjustment was made to opening retained earnings of the second quarter of 2009, to align the reporting period of TD Bank, N.A. to that of the Bank's reporting period.
The following table provides the operating results - reported for the Bank.

quarter 2010 - $17 million amortization of intangibles; third
quarter 2009 - $20 million amortization of intangibles; second
quarter 2009 - $16 million amortization of intangibles; first
quarter 2009 - $15 million amortization of intangibles.
(7) Amortization of intangibles primarily relates to the Canada Trust
acquisition in 2000, the TD Banknorth acquisition in 2005 and its
privatization in 2007, the Commerce acquisition in 2008, the
acquisitions by TD Banknorth of Hudson United Bancorp (Hudson) in
2006 and Interchange Financial Services (Interchange) in 2007, and
the amortization of intangibles included in equity in net income of
TD Ameritrade.
(8) Effective August 1, 2008, as a result of deterioration in markets
and severe dislocation in the credit market, the Bank changed its
trading strategy with respect to certain trading debt securities.
The Bank no longer intends to actively trade in these debt
securities. Accordingly, the Bank reclassified certain debt
securities from trading to the available-for-sale category in
accordance with the Amendments to CICA Handbook Section 3855,
Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement. As part of the
Bank's trading strategy, these debt securities are economically
hedged, primarily with CDS and interest rate swap contracts. This
includes foreign exchange translation exposure related to the debt
securities portfolio and the derivatives hedging it. These
derivatives are not eligible for reclassification and are recorded
on a fair value basis with changes in fair value recorded in the
period's earnings. Management believes that this asymmetry in the
accounting treatment between derivatives and the reclassified debt
securities results in volatility in earnings from period to period
that is not indicative of the economics of the underlying business
performance in Wholesale Banking. As a result, the derivatives are
accounted for on an accrual basis in Wholesale Banking and the gains
and losses related to the derivatives in excess of the accrued
amounts are reported in the Corporate segment. Adjusted results of
the Bank exclude the gains and losses of the derivatives in excess
of the accrued amount.
(9) As a result of U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking acquisitions and
related integration and restructuring initiatives undertaken, the
Bank may incur integration and restructuring charges. Restructuring
charges consist of employee severance costs, the costs of amending
certain executive employment and award agreements, contract
termination fees, and the write-down of long-lived assets due to
impairment. Integration charges consist of costs related to employee
retention, external professional consulting charges, marketing
(including customer communication and rebranding), and integration-
related travel costs. Beginning in Q2 2010, U.S. Personal and
Commercial Banking has elected not to include any further Commerce-
related integration and restructuring charges in this item of note
as the efforts in these areas wind down and in light of the fact
that the integration and restructuring is substantially complete.
For the three months ended July 31, 2010, the integration charges
were driven by the FDIC-assisted acquisitions and there were no
restructuring charges recorded.
(10) The Bank purchases CDS to hedge the credit risk in Wholesale
Banking's corporate lending portfolio. These CDS do not qualify for
hedge accounting treatment and are measured at fair value with
changes in fair value recognized in current period's earnings. The
related loans are accounted for at amortized cost. Management
believes that this asymmetry in the accounting treatment between CDS
and loans would result in periodic profit and loss volatility which
is not indicative of the economics of the corporate loan portfolio
or the underlying business performance in Wholesale Banking. As a
result, the CDS are accounted for on an accrual basis in Wholesale
Banking and the gains and losses on the CDS, in excess of the
accrued cost, are reported in the Corporate segment. Adjusted
earnings exclude the gains and losses on the CDS in excess of the
accrued cost. When a credit event occurs in the corporate loan book
that has an associated CDS hedge, the PCL related to the portion
that was hedged via the CDS is netted against this item of note.
(11) This represents the impact of scheduled changes in the income tax
statutory rate on net future income tax balances.
(12) The Bank accrued an additional actuarial liability in its insurance
subsidiary operations for potential losses in the first quarter of
2008 related to a court decision in Alberta. The Alberta
government's legislation effectively capping minor injury insurance
claims was challenged and held to be unconstitutional. In Q3 2009,
the government of Alberta won its appeal of the decision. The
plaintiffs sought leave to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court
of Canada and in Q1 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada denied the
plaintiffs' application to seek leave to appeal. As result of this
favourable outcome, the Bank released its provision related to the
minor injury cap litigation in Alberta. The provision for the case
in the Atlantic provinces remains as the ultimate outcome is not yet
determinable.
(13) Effective November 1, 2009, TD Financing Services (formerly VFC
Inc.) aligned their loan loss methodology with that used for all
other Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking retail loans; any
general provisions resulting from the revised methodology are
included in "General allowance increase in Canadian Personal and
Commercial Banking and Wholesale Banking."
(14) Upon the announcement of the privatization of TD Banknorth in
November 2006, certain minority shareholders of TD Banknorth
initiated class action litigation alleging various claims against
the Bank, TD Banknorth, and TD Banknorth officers and directors. The
parties agreed to settle the litigation in February 2009 for
$61.3 million (US$50 million) of which $3.7 million (US$3 million)
had been previously accrued on privatization. The Court of Chancery
in Delaware approved the settlement of the TD Banknorth
Shareholders' Litigation effective June 24, 2009, and the settlement
became final.
(15) On May 22, 2009, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC),
in the U.S., finalized a special assessment resulting in a charge of
$55 million before tax or US$49 million before tax.

Significant Events in 2010
Acquisition of The South Financial Group, Inc.
On May 17, 2010, the Bank announced that it had signed a definitive agreement with The South Financial Group, Inc. (South Financial) for the Bank to acquire 100% of the outstanding common shares of South Financial for approximately $61 million in cash or the Bank's common stock. In addition, immediately prior to completion of the transaction, the United States Department of the Treasury will sell to the Bank its South Financial preferred stock and the associated warrant acquired under the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program and discharge all accrued but unpaid dividends on that stock for total cash consideration of approximately $131 million. The transaction is subject to approval by the shareholders of South Financial and certain remaining regulatory authorities. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors approved the transaction on July 22, 2010. The shareholders' meeting will be held on September 28, 2010, and assuming the necessary approvals are in place, the transaction is expected to close shortly thereafter.
As at March 31, 2010, South Financial had total assets of US$12.4 billion and total deposits of US$9.8 billion. The transaction is expected to be slightly accretive to the Bank's earnings in fiscal 2011 and have an impact of 40 - 50 basis points (bps) on Tier 1 capital after taking into account the Q3 2010 issuance by the Bank of approximately $250 million worth of common shares in Canada.
U.S. Legislative Developments
Recent market and economic conditions have led to new legislation and numerous proposals for changes in the regulation of the financial services industry, including significant additional legislation and regulation in the United States. On July 21, 2010 the President of the United States signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Act") which provides for widespread reform of the U.S. financial industry. At over 2,300 pages in length, the Act will affect every financial institution in the United States and many financial institutions, including the Bank, that operate outside the United States. The Act makes significant changes in areas such as banking and bank supervision and the resolution of systemically important financial companies, consumer protection, securities, derivatives, and executive compensation, among others. The Act also calls for a large number of regulatory rulemaking projects, as well as numerous studies and on-going reports as part of its implementation. Accordingly, while the Act will have an effect on the business of the Bank, especially its business operations in the United States, the full impact on the Bank will not be known until such time as the implementing regulations are released.
Other regulatory changes include the amendments to Regulation E, or the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, which prohibits financial institutions from charging fees to consumers for paying automated teller machine and point of sale transactions that result in an overdraft, and the Credit Card Act, which will, among other things, significantly restrict the Bank's ability to charge interest rates and assess fees to reflect individual customer risk. For more detail on the expectations regarding the impact of Regulation E, see the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segment disclosure in the "How Our Businesses Performed" section of this report.
The Bank continues to monitor closely these and other legislative developments and analyze the impact such regulatory and legislative changes may have on its businesses.
HOW OUR BUSINESSES PERFORMED
For management reporting purposes, the Bank's operations and activities are organized around four key business segments operating in a number of locations in key financial centres around the globe: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, including TD Canada Trust and TD Insurance; Wealth Management, including TD Waterhouse and an investment in TD Ameritrade; U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking including TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank; and Wholesale Banking, including TD Securities. 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. The Bank measures and evaluates the performance of each segment based on adjusted results where applicable, and for those segments the Bank notes that the measure is adjusted. Amortization of intangible expenses is included in the Corporate segment. Accordingly, net income for the operating business segments is presented before amortization of intangibles, as well as any other items of note not attributed to the operating segments. For further details, see the "How the Bank Reports" section, the "Business Focus" section in the 2009 Annual Report, and Note 34 to the 2009 Consolidated Financial Statements. For information concerning the Bank's measures of economic profit and return on invested capital, which are non-GAAP financial measures, see the "How We Performed" section.
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 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 results is reversed in the Corporate segment. The TEB adjustment for the quarter was $92 million, compared with $62 million in the third quarter last year, and $110 million in the prior quarter. On a year-to-date basis, the TEB adjustment was $298 million, compared with $350 million in the same period last year.
The Bank securitizes retail loans and receivables, and records a gain or loss on sale, including the recognition of an asset related to retained interests. Credit losses incurred on retained interests after securitization are recorded as a charge to non-interest income in the Bank's Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For segment reporting, PCL related to securitized volumes is included in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking but is reversed in the Corporate segment and reclassified as a charge to non-interest income to comply with GAAP.

Quarterly comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q3 2009
------------------------------------------
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net income for the quarter was $841 million, an increase of $164 million, or 24%, compared with the third quarter last year. The annualized return on invested capital for the quarter was 35.5%, compared with 30.5% in the third quarter last year.
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking revenue is derived from personal banking, business banking, and insurance. Revenue for the quarter was $2,646 million, an increase of $199 million, or 8%, compared with the third quarter last year primarily due to strong volume growth, primarily in real estate secured lending, business deposits, and insurance. Compared with the third quarter last year, real estate secured lending volume, including securitized assets, increased $20 billion, or 12%, while consumer loan volume increased $3.9 billion, or 13%. Business loans and acceptances volume increased $1.5 billion, or 5%. Personal deposit volume increased $5.3 billion, or 4%, while business deposit volume increased $6.9 billion, or 14%. Gross originated insurance premiums increased $98 million, or 12%, compared to the third quarter last year. Margin on average earning assets decreased by 4 bps to 2.92% compared with the third quarter last year as higher margins in real estate secured lending were offset by margin compression in deposits.
PCL for the quarter was $236 million, a decrease of $54 million, or 19%, compared with the third quarter last year. Personal banking PCL was $222 million, a decrease of $46 million, or 17%, mainly due to better credit conditions resulting from an improving economic and employment environment. Business banking PCL was $14 million, a decrease of $8 million, or 36%. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.37%, a decrease of 14 bps, compared with the third quarter last year. Net impaired loans, including the U.S. credit card business, were $525 million, a decrease of $9 million, or 2%, over the third quarter last year. Net impaired loans in Commercial Banking remain at relatively low levels largely due to active management. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.82%, compared with 0.92% as at July 31, 2009.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $1,222 million, an increase of $52 million, or 4%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily due to higher employee compensation and project-related costs.
The average full-time equivalent (FTE) staffing levels increased by 1,827, or 6%, compared with the third quarter last year reflecting continued investment in our businesses. The efficiency ratio for the quarter improved to 46.2%, compared with 47.8% in the third quarter last year.
Quarterly comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q2 2010
------------------------------------------
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net income for the quarter increased $80 million, or 11%, compared with the prior quarter. The annualized return on invested capital for the quarter was 35.5%, compared with 33.7% in the prior quarter.
Revenue for the quarter increased $128 million, or 5%, compared with the prior quarter mainly due to strong volume in real estate secured lending and personal deposits, and more calendar days in the current quarter. Margin on average earning assets was 2.92%, consistent with last quarter. Compared with the prior quarter, real estate secured lending volume, including securitized assets, increased $4.6 billion, or 3%, consumer loan volume increased $1.2 billion, or 4%, while business loans and acceptances increased $0.4 billion, or 1%. Personal deposit volume increased $3.4 billion, or 3%, while business deposit volume increased $2.1 billion, or 4%. Gross originated insurance premiums increased $108 million, or 14%.
PCL for the quarter decreased $20 million, or 8%. Personal banking PCL decreased $8 million, or 4% and business banking PCL decreased $12 million, or 47%. Net impaired loans increased $20 million, or 4%, compared to the prior quarter largely from lower provisions. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.82%, compared with 0.81% as at April 30, 2010.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter increased $35 million, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter due to higher employee compensation.
The average FTE staffing levels increased by 847, or 3%. The efficiency ratio for the current quarter improved to 46.2%, compared with 47.1% in the prior quarter.
Year-to-date comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q3 2009
---------------------------------------------
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 was $2,322 million, an increase of $472 million, or 26%, compared with the same period last year. On a year-to-date basis, the annualized return on invested capital was 33.5%, compared with 28.5% for the same period last year.
Revenue on a year-to-date basis was $7,703 million, an increase of $688 million, or 10%, compared with the same period last year, mainly due to strong volume growth across most banking products. The margin on average earning assets on a year-to-date basis increased by one basis point to 2.92% compared with the same period last year due to higher margins in real estate secured lending, partially offset by margin compression in deposits due to the increasing interest rate environment. Volume growth was primarily in real estate secured lending, and in personal and business deposits. Real estate secured lending volume, including securitized assets, increased $24.6 billion, or 13%, while consumer loan volume increased $3.9 billion, or 14%. Business loans and acceptances volume increased $1.4 billion, or 5%. Personal deposit volume increased $4.9 billion, or 4%, while business deposit volume increased $6.7 billion, or 14%. Gross originated insurance premiums increased $238 million, or 11%.
PCL on a year-to-date basis was $807 million, a decrease of $35 million, or 4%, compared with the same period last year. Personal banking PCL was $729 million, a decrease of $44 million, and business banking PCL was $78 million, an increase of $9 million, or 14%. Net impaired loans decreased $9 million, or 2%, compared with the same period last year.
On a year-to-date basis, non-interest expenses were $3,603 million, an increase of $104 million, or 3%, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to higher employee compensation, project related expenditures, and non-credit losses, partially offset by lower litigation costs and capital taxes.
The average FTE staffing levels on a year-to-date basis increased by 1,254, or 4%, compared with the same period last year. The efficiency ratio on a year-to-date basis improved to 46.8%, compared with 49.9% for the same period last year.
Business Outlook
----------------
While we continue to benefit from our leadership position in branch hours and the ongoing investment in our network, we expect earnings growth to moderate going forward into 2011. We also expect revenue growth to moderate as volume growth is expected to be lower across most products and a competitive pricing environment will continue to put margins under pressure. Credit losses on personal loans are expected to remain stable for the balance of the year. Strong underlying business growth combined with improving product margins will provide momentum in the insurance business through the balance of this year and into next year, however revenue remains somewhat vulnerable to rising claims costs. Expenses will continue to be managed prudently while continuing to focus on appropriate ongoing investments in our business and maintaining positive operating leverage.

------------------------------------------
Wealth Management net income for the quarter was $179 million, an increase of $16 million, or 10%, compared with the third quarter last year. Global Wealth net income, which excludes TD Ameritrade, was $117 million, an increase of $22 million, or 23%, compared with the third quarter last year, largely driven by increased fee revenue from higher client assets and increased net interest margin. The Bank's reported investment in TD Ameritrade generated net income for the quarter of $62 million, a decrease of $6 million, or 9%, compared with the third quarter last year. The decrease was due to the translation effect of a stronger Canadian dollar, partially offset by higher earnings at TD Ameritrade. For its third quarter ended June 30, 2010, TD Ameritrade reported net income of US$179 million, an increase of US$8 million, or 5%, compared with the third quarter last year. Wealth Management's annualized return on invested capital for the quarter was 16.2%, compared with 13.7% in the third quarter last year.
Wealth Management revenue is derived from online brokerage, advice-based businesses, and asset management. Revenue for the quarter was $616 million, an increase of $54 million, or 10%, compared to the third quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to higher assets under administration and assets under management which drove strong fee based revenue growth in the advice-based and asset management businesses, the inclusion of U.K. acquisitions, and higher client margin loans and deposit balances combined with improved net interest margin. This increase was partially offset by reduced trading volumes in the online brokerage business combined with lower commissions per trade in Canada as active traders accounted for a higher proportion of trading volumes.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $447 million, an increase of $23 million, or 5%, compared with the third quarter last year. This increase was primarily due to higher variable compensation and trailer fees driven by increased revenue from higher asset values in the advice-based and asset management businesses, higher investment to support business growth, and the inclusion of U.K. acquisitions. This increase was partially offset by reduced staffing levels in the U.S. wealth management businesses resulting from the winding down of the financial advisory business.
The average FTE staffing levels increased by 134, or 2%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily due to additional FTE staff related to the U.K. acquisitions, growth in client-facing FTE staff, and growth in support FTE for infrastructure, partially offset by a reduction of staff in the U.S. wealth management businesses. The efficiency ratio for the current quarter improved to 72.6%, compared with 75.4% in the third quarter last year.
Assets under administration of $211 billion as at July 31, 2010, increased by $23 billion, or 12%, from July 31, 2009. Assets under management of $174 billion as at July 31, 2010 increased by $10 billion, or 6%, from July 31, 2009. These increases were driven by market appreciation and net new client assets.
Quarterly comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q2 2010
------------------------------------------
Wealth Management net income for the quarter increased by $12 million, or 7%, compared with the prior quarter. Global Wealth net income increased by $6 million, or 5%, compared with the prior quarter mainly due to the increase in net interest margin, partially offset by lower trade volumes and commissions per trade in the Canadian online brokerage business. The Bank's reported investment in TD Ameritrade reflected an increase in net income of $6 million, or 11%, compared with the prior quarter due to higher earnings at TD Ameritrade. For its third quarter ended June 30, 2010, TD Ameritrade reported net income increased US$16 million, or 10%, compared with the prior quarter. Wealth Management's annualized return on invested capital for the quarter was 16.2%, compared with 15.5% in the prior quarter.
Revenue for the quarter increased $4 million compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to increased revenue from higher margin loans and deposit balances and improved net interest margin. This increase was partially offset by lower trade volumes and commissions per trade in the Canadian online brokerage business and lower fee based revenue in advice-based businesses.
Non-interest expenses decreased $5 million compared to the prior quarter, due to lower volume related costs and reduced expenses in the U.S. wealth management businesses.
The average FTE staffing levels decreased by 85 compared with the prior quarter, reflecting reduced business volumes and reduction of staff in the U.S. wealth management businesses, partially offset by increased client-facing FTE staff and additional FTE staff required to support investments. The efficiency ratio for the current quarter improved to 72.6%, compared with 73.9% in the prior quarter.
Assets under administration as at July 31, 2010 decreased $3 billion from April 30, 2010. Assets under management as at July 31, 2010 decreased $1 billion from April 30, 2010. The decrease in the assets was due to the negative market impact on asset values, partially offset by an increase in net new client assets.
Year-to-date comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q3 2009
---------------------------------------------
Wealth Management net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 was $490 million, an increase of $49 million, or 11%, compared with the same period last year. Global Wealth net income was $329 million, an increase of $81 million, or 33%, compared with the same period last year, mainly due to higher fees from increased average client assets and increased net interest margin. The Bank's reported investment in TD Ameritrade generated $161 million of net income, a decrease of $32 million, or 17%, compared with the same period last year. The decrease was driven by the translation effect of a stronger Canadian dollar and slightly lower earnings in TD Ameritrade. For its nine months ended June 30, 2010, TD Ameritrade reported net income was US$478 million, a decrease of US$9 million, or 2%, compared with the same period last year. On a year-to-date basis, Wealth Management's annualized return on invested capital was 14.8%, compared with 12.5% in the same period last year.
Revenue on a year-to-date basis was $1,818 million, an increase of $200 million, or 12%, compared with the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased fee based revenue from higher average client assets in the advice-based and asset management businesses, higher interest revenue from improved margins in the Canadian businesses, increased trading volumes, and the inclusion of U.K. acquisitions. These increases were partially offset by a decline in commissions per trade in the online brokerage business as a result of higher trading frequency by active traders.
On a year-to-date basis, non-interest expenses were $1,345 million, an increase of $88 million, or 7%, compared with the same period last year. This increase was the result of higher variable compensation associated with the increased fee based revenue earned on higher client assets, increased trailer fees related to higher revenue from increased assets under management, the inclusion of U.K. acquisitions, higher investment to support business growth, and higher compensation costs associated with increased FTE staffing levels. These expense increases were partially offset by reduced expenses in the U.S. wealth management businesses.
The average FTE staffing levels on a year-to-date basis increased by 161, or 2%, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to additional FTE staff related to the U.K. acquisitions, an increase in Canadian client-facing FTE staff, and higher FTE staff related to business volumes. These increases were partially offset by reduced FTE staff in the U.S. wealth management businesses due to winding down of the financial advisory business. The efficiency ratio on a year-to-date basis improved to 74.0%, compared with 77.7% in the same period last year.
Business Outlook
----------------
The outlook for the remainder of the year and into 2011 remains cautiously optimistic and is dependent on a gradual rise in interest rates and stability in equity markets. Investment in the business will continue at its current pace to ensure future growth.

Quarterly comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q3 2009
------------------------------------------
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking net income, in Canadian dollar terms, for the quarter was $282 million on a reported basis, an increase of $110 million, or 64%, and $287 million on an adjusted basis, an increase of $45 million, or 19%, compared with the third quarter last year. The strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar decreased the reported and adjusted net income by $24 million and $25 million, respectively, for the current quarter. The annualized return on invested capital for the quarter was 6.4%, compared with 5.0% in the third quarter last year.
In U.S. dollar terms, revenue for the quarter was US$1,176 million, an increase of US$173 million, or 17%, compared with the third quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to broad based growth across all businesses and categories including strong retail fee growth due to a new pricing structure implemented post Commerce integration and the Riverside acquisition. Fees resulting from the combined deposit fee structure are expected to decline in the fourth quarter of the current year as a result of Regulation E. Margin on average earning assets increased by 7 bps to 3.47% compared with the third quarter last year, primarily due to expanded loan margins. Average loans increased US$4.2 billion, or 8%, with average personal loans increasing US$3.2 billion, or 18%, primarily due to a $2.5 billion increase in residential mortgages, and average business loans increasing US$1.0 billion, or 3%. Average deposits increased US$24.6 billion, or 24%, which included a US$17.7 billion increase in TD Ameritrade insured deposit accounts (IDA) (formerly known as money market deposit accounts). Average deposit volume, excluding the impact of the TD Ameritrade IDAs, increased US$6.9 billion, or 9%. Business deposit volumes (excluding government) increased US$3.5 billion, or 14%, government deposit volumes decreased US$1.2 billion, or 9%, and personal deposit volumes increased US$4.6 billion, or 11%.
Total PCL for the quarter was US$126 million, a decrease of US$37 million, or 23%, compared with the third quarter last year. PCL for loans for the quarter was US$127 million, a decrease of US$36 million, or 22%, compared with the third quarter last year. Annualized PCL for loans as a percentage of credit volume was 0.89%, a decrease of 34 bps compared with the third quarter last year. Net impaired loans includes assets originated by U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking, as well as assets acquired under an FDIC loss sharing agreement ("covered assets") that substantially reduce the risk of credit losses to the Bank. Net impaired loans, excluding debt securities classified as loans that are impaired and covered assets, were US$1,046 million, an increase of US$358 million, or 52%, compared with the third quarter last year. The increase was largely due to net new formations resulting from weakness in the commercial real estate market in the U.S. and the impact of the recession. Net impaired loans, excluding debt securities classified as loans and covered assets, as a percentage of total loans were 1.8%, compared with 1.3% as at July 31, 2009. Net impaired debt securities classified as loans were US$966 million at July 31, 2010. Covered impaired loans were US$40 million at July 31, 2010.
Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter were US$696 million, an increase of $5 million, compared with the third quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, non-interest expenses for the quarter were US$688 million, an increase of US$94 million, or 16%, primarily due to new store expenses, compensation, and other operating expenses associated with Riverside National Bank, Regulation E implementation costs, investments in infrastructure, and advertising campaigns, partially offset by Commerce integration synergies.
The average FTE staffing levels increased by 544, or 3%, compared with the third quarter last year. This increase resulted from the acquisitions in Florida and 34 new store openings since the third quarter last year, partially offset by integration efforts and store consolidations. The reported efficiency ratio for the quarter improved to 59.2%, compared with 68.9% in the third quarter last year. The adjusted efficiency ratio for the quarter improved to 58.5%, compared with 59.2% in the prior year.
Quarterly comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q2 2010
------------------------------------------
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking net income, in Canadian dollar terms, for the quarter increased $37 million, or 15%, on a reported basis and $42 million, or 17%, on an adjusted basis, compared to the prior quarter. The annualized return on invested capital for the quarter was 6.4%, compared with 5.6% in the prior quarter.
In U.S. dollar terms, revenue for the quarter increased US$31 million, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to higher product volumes partially offset by lower prepayment speed on loans and securities. Margin on average earning assets decreased by 12 bps to 3.47% compared with the prior quarter, primarily due lower prepayment speed on loans and securities. Spreads on deposits and loans remained stable. Average loans increased US$2.8 billion, or 5%, compared with the prior quarter with average business loans increasing US$1.5 billion, or 4%, and average personal loans increasing US$1.3 billion, or 7%. Average deposits increased US$4.1 billion, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter, including a US$1.5 billion increase in average deposits of TD Ameritrade IDAs. Average deposit volume excluding the impact of the TD Ameritrade IDAs increased US$2.6 billion, or 3%, with 4% growth in business deposit volume (excluding government), 8% decline in government deposits, and 6% growth in personal deposit volume.
Total PCL for the quarter decreased US$36 million, or 22%. PCL for loans decreased US$27 million, or 18%, compared with the prior quarter. Annualized PCL for loans as a percentage of credit volume was 0.89%, a decrease of 28 bps compared with the prior quarter. Net impaired loans, excluding debt securities classified as loans that are impaired and covered assets, were US$1,046 million, an increase of US$46 million, or 5%, compared with the prior quarter. The increase was largely due to new formations and lower levels of charge-offs. Net impaired loans, excluding debt securities classified as loans and covered assets, as a percentage of total loans were 1.8%, in line with the last quarter. Net impaired debt securities classified as loans were US$966 million, and increase of US$264MM, or 38%, compared with the prior quarter. The timing of impairment is dependent on the performance of the underlying collateral. The quarter over quarter increase is in line with management's expectations. PCL for debt securities classified as loans decreased US$9 million compared with the prior quarter.
Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter increased US$37 million, or 6%, compared with the prior quarter. On an adjusted basis, non-interest expenses for the quarter increased US$29 million, or 4%, due primarily to the Riverside acquisition, costs associated with the implementation of Regulation E, and investments in infrastructure and new stores.
The average FTE staffing levels increased by 794, or 4%, compared with the prior quarter driven primarily by the acquisitions in Florida and investments in new stores. The reported efficiency ratio for the quarter worsened to 59.2%, compared with 57.7% in the prior quarter. The adjusted efficiency ratio for the quarter worsened to 58.5%, compared with 57.7% in the prior quarter.
Year-to-date comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q3 2009
---------------------------------------------
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking reported net income, in Canadian dollar terms, for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 was $708 million, an increase of $197 million, or 39%, compared with the same period last year. Adjusted net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 was $759 million, an increase of $61 million, or 9%. While reported and adjusted net income increased compared with the same period last year, the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar decreased the reported and adjusted net income for the current period by $107 million and $115 million, respectively. In U.S. dollar terms, year-to-date adjusted net income was US$733 million, an increase of US$148 million, or 25%. On a year-to-date basis, the annualized return on invested capital was 5.7%, compared with 4.5% for the same period last year.
In U.S. dollar terms, revenue on a year-to-date basis was US$3,408 million, an increase of US$391 million, or 13%, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to higher fee based revenue, resulting in part from a combined deposit fee structure introduced in connection with the Commerce conversion, improved product spreads, and overall deposit and loan growth, partially offset by lower prepayment speed on loans and securities. Fees resulting from the combined deposit fee structure are expected to decline as a result of new regulations which take effect later this year. The margin on average earning assets on a year-to-date basis decreased by 4 bps to 3.49% when compared with the same period last year, due to lower prepayment speed on loans and securities, partially offset by improved product spreads.
Total PCL on a year-to-date basis was US$479 million, a decrease of US$130 million, or 21%, compared with the same period last year. PCL for loans was US$463 million, an increase of US$24 million, or 5%, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher levels of charge-offs and reserve increases resulting from the economic recession in the U.S. Annualized PCL for loans as a percentage of credit volume was 1.13%, a decrease of 2 bps compared with the same period last year. PCL for debt securities classified as loans was US$16 million, a decrease of $154 million, or 91%, compared with the same period last year as adequate reserves were established last year.
Reported non-interest expenses on a year-to-date basis were US$2,064 million, an increase of US$52 million, or 3%, compared with the same period last year. On an adjusted basis, excluding the item of note for integration charges related to the Commerce and the FDIC-assisted acquisitions, non-interest expenses were US$1,988 million, an increase of US$221 million, or 13%, largely due to new store expenses, increased FDIC premiums, higher levels of asset recovery and security related expenses.
The average FTE staffing levels on a year-to-date basis decreased by 149, compared with the same period last year. This decrease was due to integration efforts and store consolidations, partially offset by FTE staff increases resulting from 34 new store openings since the third quarter last year and the FDIC-assisted acquisitions in the current period. The reported efficiency ratio on a year-to-date basis improved to 60.6%, compared with 66.7% in the same period last year, whereas, the adjusted efficiency ratio remained relatively flat compared with the same period last year.
On April 16, 2010, TD Bank acquired certain assets and assumed liabilities of three Florida banks in FDIC-assisted transactions. On May 17, 2010, the Bank announced that it had signed a definitive agreement with The South Financial Group, Inc. (South Financial) for the Bank to acquire 100% of the outstanding common shares of South Financial for approximately $61 million in cash or the Bank's common stock. In addition, immediately prior to completion of the transaction, the United States Department of the Treasury will sell to the Bank its South Financial preferred stock and the associated warrant acquired under the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program and discharge all accrued but unpaid dividends on that stock for total cash consideration of approximately $131 million. The transaction is subject to approval by the shareholders of South Financial and certain remaining regulatory authorities. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors approved the transaction on July 22, 2010. The shareholders' meeting will be held on September 28, 2010, and assuming the necessary approvals are in place, the transaction is expected to close shortly thereafter.
Business Outlook
----------------
We expect continued volume growth for the remainder of 2010. Organic deposit growth momentum is expected to continue due to maturing stores, while an amendment to Regulation E, or the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, in the U.S. is expected, taking into consideration mitigation strategies, to reduce revenue by approximately US$40-50 million per quarter starting in Q4 2010. The amendment of Regulation E prohibits financial institutions from charging fees to consumers for paying automated teller machine and point of sale transactions that result in an overdraft.
For the remainder of the year, the PCL level is expected to improve from current levels. Key drivers of performance for the remainder of 2010 are anticipated to be core deposit and loan growth, credit quality management, and competitive pricing.

Quarterly comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q3 2009
------------------------------------------
Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter was $179 million, a decrease of $148 million, or 45%, compared with the third quarter last year. The decrease was due to lower fixed income, credit, and currency trading, partially offset by improved equity trading and investment portfolio results. In the third quarter last year, results were very strong as financial markets staged a dramatic recovery resulting in improved asset values and market liquidity. The difficult operating environment in the current quarter contrasted with very favourable markets in the same quarter last year. Uncertainty in the market and credit concerns caused a decline in risk appetite, which resulted in widening credit spreads and fewer trading opportunities. The annualized return on invested capital for the quarter was 22.7%, compared with 40.2% in the third quarter last year and is reflective of a more normalized rate of return.
Wholesale Banking revenue is derived primarily from capital markets and corporate lending. Revenue for the quarter was $576 million, a decrease of $300 million, or 34%, compared with the third quarter last year. In the prior year, market conditions were favourable as the recovery of financial markets coupled with an improved competitive position resulted in a rally in credit spreads, improved asset values, increased client flow, and wider bid-offer margins. This resulted in strong, broad-based performance with particularly strong results in fixed income, credit, and currency trading. Underwriting fees also decreased relative to last year when improved capital markets increased client issuance activity. Partially offsetting these decreases were realized gains and distributions in the investment portfolio, compared to net security losses in the third quarter last year.
PCL is composed of specific provisions for credit losses and accrual costs for credit protection net of recoveries of previously recorded provisions. The net recovery for the quarter was $16 million, compared with PCL of $32 million in the third quarter last year. Recoveries in the current quarter of previously recorded provisions were partially offset by the cost of Credit Default Swap (CDS) protection. In the third quarter last year, PCL included a specific allowance of $21 million in addition to CDS protection costs. Net impaired loans were $63 million, a decrease of $70 million, or 53%, over the third quarter last year.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $323 million, a decrease of $3 million, or 1%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily due to lower variable compensation, partially offset by higher operating costs resulting from investment in risk and control infrastructure.
Quarterly comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q2 2010
------------------------------------------
Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter decreased $41 million, or 19%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to increased uncertainty in global markets resulting in reduced trading flows, reduced issuance activity, and lower equity trading revenue. The annualized return on invested capital for the quarter was 22.7%, compared with 29.0% in the prior quarter.
Revenue for the quarter decreased $132 million, or 19%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to reduced trading revenue in the fixed income and credit businesses. Credit spreads widened in the current quarter as demand for risk assets decreased resulting in lower asset values and reduced client activity. Equity trading activity also declined as did equity issuance. In addition, in the prior quarter there was higher revenue related to the exit of non-core positions.
PCL for the quarter decreased $26 million compared with the prior quarter due to recoveries in the current quarter. PCL for the current quarter included $8 million for the cost of credit protection compared with $9 million in the prior quarter. In the current quarter, these costs were more than offset by recoveries on specific corporate loans. Net impaired loans decreased $71 million, or 53%, compared with the prior quarter.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter decreased $49 million, or 13%, compared with the prior quarter due to lower variable compensation as a result of decreased trading revenue.
Year-to-date comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q3 2009
---------------------------------------------
Wholesale Banking net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 was $771 million, an increase of $6 million, compared with the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to modest securities gains in the current year, compared to losses from divestitures and write-downs in the investment portfolio last year. On a year-to-date basis, the annualized return on invested capital was 32.5%, compared with 25.6% for the same period last year. Offsetting the improvement were lower trading revenue in the first three quarters of the current year and a recovery from a cancelled loan commitment that was recorded in the prior year.
Revenue on a year-to-date basis was $2,197 million, a decrease of $138 million, or 6%, compared with the same period last year, primarily due to lower fixed income and currency trading, partially offset by security gains in the current year relative to significant losses in the investment portfolio last year. In the prior year, dramatic rate cuts, elevated volatility, and wider bid-offer spreads resulted in a buoyant environment for fixed income and currency trading. In addition, underwriting fees were elevated driven by an increase in issuance levels as clients reinforced their balance sheets. Results last year also included a recovery from the cancellation of a loan commitment. In the current year, corporate lending revenue increased driven by the portfolio re-pricing at higher spreads.
PCL on a year-to-date basis was $2 million, an improvement of $155 million, or 99%, compared with last year. PCL in the current year is mainly composed of the accrual cost of CDS protection, partially offset by recoveries on corporate credits. Specific provisions last year were driven by specific allowances relating to three corporate lending clients and a private equity client.
Non-interest expenses on a year-to-date basis were $1,071 million, in line with the same period last year. This includes higher operating costs from investment in risk and control infrastructure offset by lower variable compensation.
Business Outlook
----------------
Wholesale Banking delivered a solid quarter amidst more challenging market conditions. We expect market conditions to remain challenging in the short term as credit remains a concern and issuance activity levels remain low. Conditions in the fourth quarter of 2010 will not compare to the exceptional markets that arose in the fourth quarter of 2009 as markets rebounded from the financial crisis; however, we are well positioned to take advantage of improved market activity having added investment banking capability, and we continue to expand our North American fixed income, currencies, and commodities businesses.

Quarterly comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q3 2009
------------------------------------------
Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $304 million, compared with a reported net loss of $427 million in the third quarter last year. Adjusted net loss for the quarter was $182 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $106 million. Compared with the third quarter last year, the higher adjusted net loss was primarily attributable to unfavourable tax-related items and losses associated with hedging and treasury activities, partially offset by lower net corporate expenses.
Quarterly comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q2 2010
------------------------------------------
Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $304 million, compared with a reported net loss of $217 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted net loss for the quarter was $182 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $159 million. The higher adjusted net loss was primarily attributable to an unfavourable tax-related item and securitization losses, partially offset by net income from other treasury activities and lower net corporate expenses.
Year-to-date comparison - Q3 2010 vs. Q3 2009
---------------------------------------------
Corporate segment's reported net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 was $641 million, compared with a reported net loss of $1,457 million in the same period last year. Adjusted net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 was $374 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $345 million. The higher adjusted net loss was primarily attributable to securitization losses and higher net corporate expenses.
Outlook
-------
This quarter's Corporate segment loss was higher than expected as a result of the factors outlined above. Corporate segment results are inherently difficult to predict. However, we expect the net loss to remain elevated for the fourth quarter, primarily due to increased net corporate expenses, the impact of the current low interest rate environment, and liquidity related items. Changes in methodologies are currently being considered for fiscal 2011, with a view to reducing the Corporate segment net loss through allocation to other segments.
