TORONTO, Aug. 27, 2020 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group ("TD" or the "Bank") today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended July 31, 2020. Reported earnings were $2.2 billion, down 31% compared with the same quarter last year, and adjusted earnings were $2.3 billion, down 30%.

"TD colleagues around the world continued to deliver for our customers, clients, and each other throughout a period of unprecedented disruption. As economies across our footprint begin to re-open, the wellbeing and safety of our customers, colleagues and communities remains a top priority," said Bharat Masrani, Group President and CEO, TD Bank Group.

"We entered this crisis from a position of strength, and through prudent financial and risk management practices, we remain well-capitalized, with a high-quality balance sheet and strong liquidity. Our Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio finished the quarter at 12.5%," added Masrani.

"Earnings improved from the second quarter, as continued volume growth, moderating credit provisions and strong wealth and wholesale revenues helped offset further margin pressure," added Masrani. "The improved performance in our Canadian and U.S. Retail segments, and the record contribution from our Wholesale Banking segment, demonstrate the resilience of our diversified business model and the power of our customer-centric strategy."

Canadian Retail
Canadian Retail reported net income was $1,263 million and adjusted net income was $1,288 million, both down 33% from the third quarter last year, primarily reflecting higher provisions for credit losses (PCL), lower revenue and higher insurance claims. Revenue decreased 2%, reflecting lower margins, partially offset by increased loan and deposit volumes and increased activity in the wealth and insurance businesses. Expenses were flat compared to the prior year and down 2% compared to the prior quarter. PCL increased $635 million from a year ago, mainly on higher provisions for performing loans.

Canadian Retail continued to help its customers navigate COVID-19 by providing ongoing access to government relief and payment deferral programs. In addition, Canadian Retail launched its new TD Ready Advice program which includes an online resource hub, tools like the TD Helps Support Finder, and direct outreach to customers to offer personalized advice. Sequential volume growth was strong, with double-digit gains in personal and business deposits, increased credit card sales activity, significant net asset growth in TD Wealth and strong insurance revenues. Canadian Retail customers benefited from enhanced online and mobile capabilities, leading to a significant increase in self-serve transactions and digital adoption this quarter.

U.S. Retail
U.S. Retail net income was $673 million (US$490 million), a decrease of 48% (49% in U.S. dollars) compared with the same quarter last year. TD Ameritrade contributed $317 million (US$230 million) in earnings to the segment, an increase of 8% (5% in U.S. dollars) from a year ago, primarily reflecting higher trading volumes, partially offset by reduced trading commissions, lower asset-based revenue and higher operating expenses.

The U.S. Retail Bank, which excludes the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade, contributed $356 million (US$260 million) in earnings, down 64% (65% in U.S. dollars) from the same quarter last year, reflecting higher PCL and lower revenue. Revenue declined in the quarter as lower net interest margin and fee income were partially offset by growth in loan and deposit volumes. PCL increased $642 million (US$464 million) compared with the third quarter last year, mainly on higher provisions for performing loans.

The U.S. Retail Bank continued to support its customers through the COVID-19 pandemic, expanding in-person and drive-through access to its store network and helping customers access government relief programs. Through the U.S. CARES Act Small Business Association Paycheck Protection Program, TD has funded approximately 84,000 loans and continues to work with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston to facilitate the Main Street Lending Program for small- and medium-sized businesses. The U.S. Retail Bank remained focused on delivering personalized and connected experiences for customers across all channels while further enhancing its digital offerings, and recorded significant increases in the use of its mobile app and online banking channels compared to the same quarter last year.

Wholesale
Wholesale Banking reported record net income of $442 million this quarter, an increase of 81% compared to the same quarter last year, reflecting higher revenue, partially offset by higher PCL and higher non-interest expenses. Revenue for the quarter was $1,397 million, an increase of 53% from a year ago, reflecting higher trading-related revenue and underwriting fees. PCL increased $122 million compared with the third quarter last year, reflecting higher impaired and performing provisions. Wholesale Banking's strong performance this quarter reflected the continued strength of its Canadian dollar business and impressive progress on its U.S. dollar strategy. The Wholesale Banking segment continued to focus on building strong client relationships by providing critical access to markets and trusted financial advice.

Capital
TD's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio on a Basel III fully phased-in basis was 12.5%.

Conclusion
"The economic recovery will not be without its challenges and much remains uncertain in the near term. We will continue to monitor and adapt to the changing landscape, and be there to support our colleagues and advise the 26 million customers and clients who rely on us today more than ever," added Masrani. "Our people are our greatest asset and I know that by working together we will emerge even stronger in the months ahead."

HOW WE PERFORMED

ECONOMIC SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to weigh on economies around the world. TD Economics forecasts a 4.3% contraction in global real gross domestic product (GDP) this calendar year. The pandemic resulted in a sudden halt to economic activity in the spring, as government-mandated physical distancing and other measures took effect. In many jurisdictions, these measures have since been eased and an economic recovery is now underway. However, it is expected that the recovery will be uneven, as some industries, including international travel, recreation, restaurants, and entertainment, are likely to face challenges in the absence of an effective vaccine. Similarly, jurisdictions that experience a resumption in COVID-19 cases may require the re-imposition of containment measures. It is likely that the initial burst in business activity and job rehiring that followed governments' initial easing of restrictions will give way to a more gradual global recovery. Economic activity is not expected to return to pre-pandemic levels until late in calendar 2021. This economic outlook is subject to significant uncertainty related to health outcomes, consumer behaviour, and government policy.

U.S. economic growth declined by 32.9% (annualized) in the second calendar quarter of 2020, following a 5% drop in the prior quarter. Taken together, the first half of calendar 2020 represented the most severe economic contraction of the post-war era, reducing the level of economic activity by approximately 11% compared with pre-pandemic levels. In addition to its speed and severity, the recession is also unprecedented in its composition, led by a marked decline in personal consumption expenditures. The unemployment rate has been gradually declining from a peak of 14.7% in April 2020, to average 13.1% over the calendar quarter, edging down to 10.2% in July 2020. Based on employment outcomes and other higher frequency data, April 2020 appears to have marked the trough of the downturn. However, the recovery is being threatened by a sharp increase in COVID-19 case counts in many states, which has prompted a pause or partial rollback in re-opening plans. TD Economics believes that, like its global peers, the U.S. faces an uneven path forward, with the outlook contingent on virus outcomes, government policies, and the resilience of consumer and business confidence until effective vaccines are developed and widely distributed.

The pandemic drove a significant easing of U.S. monetary and fiscal policy. The Federal Reserve has cut its policy interest rate to the 0.00% to 0.25% range, resumed asset purchases, and unveiled a number of lending facilities. This response, alongside that of other major central banks, has improved the functioning of markets and led to a reduction in measures of financial stress. Subsequent communications from Federal Reserve Chair Powell have been consistent with the policy interest rate remaining at the current range through calendar 2022, in line with TD Economics' expectations. The low interest rate environment has helped shore up housing demand despite still-elevated unemployment. TD Economics expects the Federal Reserve will not raise rates until there is convincing evidence of a sustained economic recovery and a significant reduction in labour market slack. Significant fiscal stimulus in support of businesses and households has helped cushion the near-term economic impact of the pandemic, with the potential for an additional package this fall representing an upside risk to the outlook. It appears likely that the extension of government measures to provide enhanced income support to individuals, businesses, and state and local governments will be an important and necessary support for the economy in the near-term, although the longer-term recovery will ultimately require a large-scale re-engagement of the labour force.               

The Canadian economy has evolved largely in line with the United States. However, Canada's weaker economic momentum pre-pandemic, its relatively more restrictive physical distancing measures, and the low level of oil prices imply a deeper contraction in activity during the first half of calendar 2020. TD Economics anticipates that the level of economic activity fell by 13.3% during that period. In contrast, Canada has so far avoided a significant resurgence of COVID-19 cases, and economic re-openings continue relatively unfettered.

Canadian government support measures have been effective in providing a backstop to household and business incomes. The Federal Government has announced that these programs will be adapted to fit ongoing circumstances, and extended to the end of calendar 2020. This provides further support to the economic outlook, although as elsewhere, long-term economic success will require a return to normality in labour markets. As in other jurisdictions, Canada's economic recovery is expected to be uneven. Some areas, notably real estate activity, are rebounding more strongly than expected. Others, notably the energy sector, face a challenging operating environment, including soft prices and other factors such as uncertainty around longer-term pipeline capacity. Canada also faces the same constraints as other countries in being reliant on a vaccine or effective treatment before physical distancing requirements can be reversed more fully. This, in turn, is expected to limit the speed of recovery going forward.

The Bank of Canada has cut its policy interest rate to its effective lower bound of 0.25% and undertaken a number of liquidity and asset purchase operations, including ongoing purchases of federal and provincial debt securities. These actions have been successful in reducing funding market stresses. Bank of Canada Governor Macklem has stated that the policy interest rate will be held at its current level "until economic slack is absorbed so that the 2 percent inflation target is sustainably achieved." TD Economics expects policy interest rate increases to commence only in early calendar 2023 and to proceed at a very gradual pace thereafter, reflecting both the scale of the economic shock and the challenges associated with high private debt levels. TD Economics projects that the Canadian dollar will trade in the 74–77 US cents range over the next four calendar quarters.

Significant uncertainty around pandemic developments, government responses, and the economic implications thereof creates a wide range of potential economic outcomes relative to the baseline view. In all jurisdictions, a widespread, rapid increase of COVID-19 infections could prompt a re-imposition of nationwide economic restrictions similar to those that occurred in the spring months. Indeed, recent infection upticks in several major economies may call longer-term economic re–opening plans into question. Such outcomes would further pressure the finances of households and businesses, with negative feedback effects for the economy. Conversely, should one or more effective vaccines become rapidly and broadly available, the medium-term economic outlook should be expected to improve markedly, particularly for certain hard-hit industries. From a longer-term perspective, the pandemic could precipitate or accentuate trends that result in weaker potential economic growth domestically and abroad. These trends include increased geopolitical tensions, isolationism, reduced immigration rates, trade protectionism, and a structural decline in business investment.

THE BANK'S RESPONSE TO COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect economies and societies around the world. In North America, early action by banks, governments and supervisory agencies has helped ease the financial stress on households and businesses. However, with economic activity resuming only gradually, relief programs remain largely in place, and in some cases have been extended. Similarly, central banks' quick and comprehensive response has proved effective in stabilizing financial markets, but the magnitude of the shock and slow pace of recovery suggest monetary policy will remain at stimulative levels for some time. TD continues to be actively engaged in the recovery effort, guided by the principles of supporting the well-being of its customers and colleagues and maintaining the Bank's operational and financial resilience.

Supporting Customers
As jurisdictions across TD's footprint began to ease physical distancing restrictions this quarter, the Bank re-opened a number of its branches and stores and started to restore hours of service to meet customer needs and align with the directives of government and health authorities. As at July 31, 2020, approximately 75% of Canadian branches and virtually all U.S. stores were open, and the Bank's network of more than 6,000 ATMs was fully operational. The Bank continues to take precautions to help protect the well-being of its customers and colleagues, including ongoing use of enhanced cleaning and protective equipment, and this quarter, making face coverings mandatory for all colleagues working in TD locations or while visiting customers, clients and vendors, reflecting guidance from public health authorities and TD's Chief Medical Director.

While traffic in TD's branch and store network has increased, customers continue to engage with the Bank across all of its distribution channels, including continued high levels of interaction with the contact centres and online and mobile platforms. TD expanded its advice offerings this quarter with the Canadian launch of the TD Ready Advice hub, the addition of new functionality to TD MySpend, and the introduction of an AI-driven tool to help customers locate information on Bank and government COVID-19 financial assistance programs.

Financial assistance offered by the Bank has included deferral of loan payments, deferred minimum payments on credit card balances, interest reductions, insurance premium deferrals, and premium reductions. The key payment deferral measures are summarized in the table below, which presents the gross loan balance and number of accounts that continue to be in deferral programs as of July 31, 2020. New applications for loan deferrals declined significantly during the third quarter, as did loan balances subject to deferral for most asset classes, reflecting both expiration of shorter-term deferrals and resumption of payments. In addition, the proportion of credit card customers that had their accounts deferred or received interest rate relief under the programs represented less than 2% of outstanding credit card accounts and outstanding balances as at July 31, 2020. TD Insurance has provided relief on approximately 400,000 policies since March, including payment deferrals, rate and mileage reductions and other adjustments.

In addition to direct financial assistance, the Bank is supporting programs for individuals and businesses introduced by the Canadian and U.S. governments.

Canada Emergency Business Account Program
Under the Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) Program, with funding provided by Her Majesty in Right of Canada (the "Government of Canada") and Export Development Canada (EDC) as the Government of Canada's agent, the Bank provides loans to its business banking customers. In June 2020, eligibility for the CEBA loan program was expanded to include businesses that did not meet the payroll requirements of the initial program but had other eligible non-deferrable expenses. Under the CEBA Program, eligible businesses receive a $40,000 interest-free loan until December 31, 2022. If $30,000 is repaid on or before December 31, 2022, the remaining amount of the loan is eligible for complete forgiveness. If the loan is not repaid by December 31, 2022, it will be extended for an additional 3-year term bearing an interest rate of 5% per annum. The funding provided to the Bank by the Government of Canada in respect of the CEBA Program represents an obligation to pass-through collections on the CEBA loans and is otherwise non-recourse to the Bank. Accordingly, the Bank is required to remit all collections of principal and interest on the CEBA loans to the Government of Canada but is not required to repay amounts that its customers fail to pay or that have been forgiven. The Bank receives an administration fee to recover the costs to administer the program for the Government of Canada. Loans issued under the program are not recognized on the Bank's Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet, as the Bank transfers substantially all risks and rewards in respect of the loans to the Government of Canada. As of July 31, 2020, the Bank had provided approximately 169,000 customers (April 30, 2020 – 117,000) with CEBA loans and had funded approximately $6.7 billion (April 30, 2020 – $4.7 billion) in loans under the program.

U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, Paycheck Protection Program
Under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) established by the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and implemented by the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Bank provided loans up to US$10 million each to small businesses to assist them in retaining workers, maintaining payroll, and covering other expenses. PPP loans originated before June 5, 2020 have a 2-year term with an option to extend to a 5-year term. PPP loans originated on or after June 5, 2020 have a 5-year term. All PPP loans bear an interest rate of 1% per annum, and are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. The full principal amount of the loan and any accrued interest are eligible for forgiveness if the loan is used for qualifying expenses. The Bank will be paid by the SBA for any portion of the loan that is forgiven. As of July 31, 2020, the Bank had funded approximately 84,000 PPP loans (April 30, 2020 – 28,000). The gross carrying amount of loans originated under the program was approximately US$8.2 billion (April 30, 2020 – US$6.0 billion).

Other Programs
The Bank has been working with federal Crown Corporations, including EDC and the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), as well as provincial and state governments and central banks to deliver other guarantee and co-lending programs for the Bank's clients. In Canada, these programs include the EDC Business Credit Availability Program (BCAP) for small– and medium–sized enterprises, which offers eligible businesses with credit partially guaranteed by EDC, the BDC Co-Lending Program, which provides loans to small- and medium-sized businesses, and the Investissement Québec (IQ) Programme d'action concertée temporaire pour les entreprises (PACTE), which offers eligible businesses in Quebec with credit partially guaranteed by IQ. In the U.S., the Bank is working with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston to facilitate the Main Street Lending Program for small- and medium-sized businesses. The Bank continues to work with EDC and BDC to launch the EDC BCAP Large Loan and BDC Junior Financing programs for eligible mid-market businesses. In addition, TD is working with Canada's federal government to facilitate access to the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) through Canada Revenue Agency direct deposit.

Supporting Colleagues
With jurisdictions across TD's footprint slowly proceeding to re-open economies, the Bank continues to have a significant number of colleagues working remotely, with approximately 60,000 TD colleagues working from home as at July 31, 2020. Work from home arrangements are expected to remain in place until at least the end of calendar 2020 as the Bank seeks to provide a safe environment for colleagues who need to be at TD locations to perform their work, while minimizing the strain on health, transit, and other local infrastructure in the community.

For colleagues required to come to a TD or third-party location, a number of measures have been put in place to promote health and safety. These include the enhanced cleaning, physical distancing measures and face covering measures noted above, as well as a new mobile application the Bank introduced this quarter, the TD BoardingPass, to facilitate the daily screening process that is now mandatory for colleagues accessing TD and third-party locations.

Where possible, TD continues to provide colleagues with the flexibility to adapt work schedules and access additional paid leave to meet caregiving demands resulting from the disruption. The Bank has also expanded the suite of health and wellness resources to support colleagues and their families, including virtual healthcare for eligible colleagues in Canada and 24-hour Nurseline and Telemedicine for colleagues in the U.S. In addition, the Bank's self-serve learning platform, TD Thrive, has been enhanced with new content to support colleagues' career growth and development.

Maintaining the Bank's Financial and Operational Resilience
Credit risk continues to be monitored actively across all the Bank's portfolios. While industry and government financial assistance programs have helped customers manage through the pandemic, the Bank continued to build allowance for credit losses this quarter across all segments, reflecting expectations for a slower pace of economic recovery.

Market risk was well managed in the quarter against a backdrop of reduced volatility, and the Bank's liquidity and funding positions remained strong, reflecting the Bank's conservative 90-day liquidity risk management paradigm, pre-funding actions taken in the second quarter and early June, and a stabilization in funding markets and normalization of credit spreads this quarter.

TD's operations, including the Bank's technology infrastructure, network capacity, enterprise cloud capabilities and remote access systems, remained stable throughout the quarter, providing continued support for work from home arrangements and a high level of online and mobile customer traffic. Digital adoption and engagement remained high during the quarter, including further growth in self-serve financial transactions and increased take-up of TD's enhanced digital advice offerings.

The Bank continues to evaluate its preparedness for a more sustained period of stress, refine its downturn readiness procedures and develop its medium- and long-term plans, including for various 'return to the workplace' scenarios.

Response from Regulators and Central Banks 
Globally, governments, regulators and central banks continued to maintain accommodative policy settings in the quarter, including maintaining adjustments to regulatory requirements to build resilience of federally regulated financial institutions and improve the stability of the Canadian financial system and economy, and continuing to make available asset purchase and lending programs to support market liquidity.

For additional information on OSFI's capital measures, refer to the "OSFI's Capital Requirements under Basel III" and "Future Regulatory Capital Developments" sections of the "Capital Position" section of this document. For additional information on OSFI's liquidity measures, refer to the "Regulatory Developments Concerning Liquidity and Funding" section of the "Managing Risk" section of this document.

Impact on Current Quarter Financial Performance
The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly altered the economic landscape and continues to have a significant impact on TD's financial performance. Provisions for credit losses remain elevated this quarter, principally owing to the uncertain economic outlook. The Bank experienced further margin pressure from the low interest rate environment, as well as weaker non-interest income in the retail banking businesses reflecting reduced customer spending and payment activity. Loan and deposit volumes continued to grow, partly reflecting the impact of government financial assistance programs. Capital markets and wealth direct investing revenues were stronger, in response to heightened market activity.

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 PCL 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 was decreased to 9% Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital effective the second quarter of 2020 compared with 10.5% in the first quarter of 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 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 personal and commercial banking, wealth, and insurance businesses; U.S. Retail, which includes the results of the 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 including the Bank's response to COVID-19, 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 $47 million, compared with $30 million in the prior quarter and $37 million in the third quarter last year.

Revenue for the quarter was $1,397 million, an increase of $483 million, or 53%, compared with the third quarter last year, reflecting higher trading-related revenue and higher underwriting fees.

PCL for the quarter was $123 million, compared with $1 million in the third quarter last year. PCL – impaired was $52 million reflecting credit migration largely in the oil & gas sector. PCL – performing was $71 million, primarily related to a significant deterioration in the economic outlook, including the impact of credit migration.
