TORONTO, August 24, 2023 – TD Bank Group (“TD” or the “Bank”) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended July 31, 2023. Reported earnings were $3.0 billion, down 8% compared with the third quarter last year, and adjusted earnings were $3.7 billion, down 2%.

“TD delivered strong revenue growth in the quarter and demonstrated the value of its diversified business mix in a challenging economic environment,” said Bharat Masrani, Group President and Chief Executive Officer, TD Bank Group. “Investments across our business further strengthened the Bank’s ability to deliver legendary experiences to more than 27 million customers.”

Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking delivered strong results on continued loan and deposit growth

Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net income was $1,655 million, a decline of 1% compared to the third quarter last year. The decrease primarily reflects higher provisions for credit losses (PCL), partially offset by revenue growth. Revenue was $4,570 million, an increase of 7%, reflecting volume growth and higher margins. The segment delivered its eighth consecutive quarter of positive operating leverage.

Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking maintained its position as a leading core deposit franchise, driven in part by strong account openings, including a record quarter for New to Canada account openings. Strong credit card customer acquisition and continued loan growth in personal and business banking also contributed to the segment’s momentum. This quarter, TD further enhanced its collaboration with global brands including its sponsorship of the Toronto Blue Jays. The Toronto Blue Jays added the TD shield to their iconic jersey and the Bank is developing exclusive in-game benefits for TD credit cardholders. In addition, TD’s Canadian mobile banking app was ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction” by J.D. Power in recognition of overall customer satisfaction for navigation, speed, visual appeal, and content.¹

The U.S. Retail Bank delivered strong loan growth and resilient personal and business deposits

U.S. Retail reported net income of $1,314 million, a decrease of 9% (12% in U.S. dollars) compared with the third quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, net income was $1,377 million, a decline of 6% (9% in U.S. dollars). Reported net income included acquisition and integration-related charges for the terminated First

Horizon Corporation (“First Horizon”) transaction of $84 million or US$63 million ($63 million or US$48 million after-tax). TD Bank’s investment in The Charles Schwab Corporation (“Schwab”) contributed $191 million in earnings, a decrease of 34% (37% in U.S. dollars) compared with the third quarter last year.

The U.S. Retail Bank, which excludes the Bank’s investment in Schwab, reported net income of $1,123 million (US$842 million), a decrease of 3% (a decrease of 6% in U.S. dollars) from the third quarter last year, primarily reflecting higher non-interest expenses and higher PCL, partially offset by higher revenue. On an adjusted basis, net income was $1,186 million (US$890 million), an increase of 1% (a decrease of 3% in U.S. dollars) from the third quarter last year, due to higher revenue which was partially offset by higher expenses, and higher PCL as credit conditions continue to normalize.

The U.S. Retail Bank delivered another strong quarter, with personal loan growth of 11%, and business loan growth of 9%, reflecting new customer acquisition and deepening relationships in core franchise businesses. Total personal and business deposit balances remained resilient in a challenging environment, further strengthened by strong account acquisition in chequing and term deposits.

TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank^® (TD AMCB) now serves over 10 million customers, including those being served by three new stores in low- and moderate-income areas in Charlotte, North Carolina and Tampa, Florida, reflective of TD’s commitment to reinvesting in communities. This quarter TD AMCB continued to execute on its wealth strategy, renovating existing stores to better facilitate advice conversations with customers. TD AMCB was also recognized with the top score of 100 in the 2023 Disability Equality Index for the ninth consecutive year and TD Auto Finance was proud to be ranked “Highest in Dealer Satisfaction among Non-Captive Lenders with Prime Credit” for the fourth consecutive year in the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Dealer Financing Satisfaction Study.²

Wealth Management and Insurance delivered strong operating momentum

Wealth Management and Insurance net income was $504 million, a decrease of 12% compared with the third quarter last year, reflecting the impact of more severe weather-related events and lower transaction revenue in Wealth Management. Revenue increased 1% in the quarter, demonstrating the strength of the segment’s diversified business model, as higher insurance revenue and net interest income helped offset the impact of trading normalization.

This quarter, the Wealth Management business continued to gain market share, with TD Financial Planning expanding the fastest among the Big 5 Banks,³ and TD Asset Management extending its position as the leading Canadian Institutional asset manager.⁴ TD Direct Investing maintained its #1 position across key categories, including Total Accounts, Revenue, Trades, and Assets Under Administration, with record growth in share of gross new accounts.⁵ TD Insurance opened its 25^th Auto Centre location, further extending its competitive advantage through legendary customer experiences in a market impacted by supply chain and inflationary pressures.

Strong performance and growth across Wholesale Banking including TD Cowen

Wholesale Banking reported net income for the quarter was $272 million, relatively flat compared to the third quarter last year. This reflects record revenue and higher non-interest expenses, which include acquisition and integration costs, and reflects the first full quarter of revenues from TD Cowen. On an adjusted basis, net income was $377 million, an increase of $106 million, or 39%. Revenue increased 46%, reflecting the benefits of the Cowen Inc. acquisition as well as growth in Global Markets and Corporate and Investment Banking.

The integration of the Cowen Inc. acquisition, which closed on March 1, 2023, remains on track and will accelerate Wholesale Banking’s U.S. dollar growth strategy. The combined organization delivers an expanded product and service offering, increased depth in key business lines, greater scale and high-quality talent.

Capital

TD’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 15.2%.

Conclusion

“As we look ahead, TD is in a position of strength, with a growing franchise and a strong capital position,” added Masrani. “I’d like to thank our more than 95,000 TD bankers across our global footprint for continuing to deliver on our purpose to enrich the lives of our customers, colleagues and communities every day.”

The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD” or 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 the “reported” results. The Bank also utilizes non-GAAP financial measures such as “adjusted” results and non-GAAP ratios to assess each of its businesses and to measure overall Bank performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank adjusts reported results for “items of note”. Refer to the “How We Performed” section of this document for further explanation, a list of the items of note, and a reconciliation of adjusted to reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios used in this document are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

a) Acquisition of Cowen Inc.

On March 1, 2023, the Bank completed the acquisition of Cowen Inc. (“Cowen”). The acquisition advances the Wholesale Banking segment’s long-term growth strategy in the U.S. and adds complementary products and services to the Bank’s existing businesses. The results of the acquired business have been consolidated by the Bank from the closing date and primarily reported in the Wholesale Banking segment. Consideration included $1,500 million (US$1,100 million) in cash for 100% of Cowen’s common shares outstanding, $253 million (US$186 million) for the settlement of Cowen’s Series A Preferred Stock, and $205 million (US$151 million) related to the replacement of share-based payment awards.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method. The purchase price allocation can be adjusted during the measurement period, which shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances. The acquisition contributed $10,800 million (US$7,933 million) of assets and $9,884 million (US$7,261 million) of liabilities. The excess of accounting consideration over the fair value of the tangible net assets acquired is allocated to other intangible assets of $298 million (US$219 million) net of taxes, and goodwill of $744 million (US$546 million).

b) Termination of the Merger Agreement with First Horizon Corporation

On May 4, 2023, the Bank and First Horizon Corporation (“First Horizon”) announced their mutual decision to terminate the previously announced merger agreement for the Bank to acquire First Horizon. Under the terms of the termination agreement, the Bank made a $306 million (US$225 million) cash payment to First Horizon on May 5, 2023. The termination payment is recognized in non-interest expenses in the current quarter and is reported in the Corporate segment.

In connection with the transaction, the Bank had invested US$494 million in non-voting First Horizon preferred stock. During the prior quarter, the Bank recognized a valuation adjustment loss of $199 million (US$147 million) on this investment, recorded in other comprehensive income. On June 26, 2023, in accordance with the terms of the preferred share purchase agreement, the preferred stock converted into approximately 19.7 million common shares of First Horizon, resulting in the Bank recognizing a loss of $166 million (US$126 million) in other comprehensive income based on First Horizon’s common share price at the time of conversion.

The Bank had also implemented a strategy to mitigate the impact of interest rate volatility to capital on closing of the acquisition. The Bank determined that the fair value of First Horizon’s fixed rate financial assets and liabilities and certain intangible assets would have been sensitive to interest rate changes. The fair value of net assets would have determined the amount of goodwill to be recognized on closing of the acquisition. Increases in goodwill and intangibles would have negatively impacted capital ratios because they are deducted from capital under OSFI Basel III rules. In order to mitigate this volatility to closing capital, the Bank de-designated certain interest rate swaps hedging fixed income investments in fair value hedge accounting relationships.

As a result of the de-designation, mark-to-market gains (losses) on these swaps were recognized in earnings, without any corresponding offset from the previously hedged investments. Such gains (losses) would have mitigated the capital impact from changes in the amount of goodwill recognized on closing of the acquisition. The de-designation also triggered the amortization of the investments’ basis adjustment to net interest income over the remaining expected life of the investments.

Prior to the termination of the merger agreement on May 4, 2023, for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Bank reported ($125) million and ($1,386) million, respectively, in non-interest income related to the mark-to-market on the swaps, and $11 million and $262 million, respectively, in net interest income related to the basis adjustment amortization. In addition, for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Bank reported $23 million and $585 million, respectively, in non-interest income related to the net interest earned on the swaps.

Following the announcement to terminate the merger agreement, the Bank discontinued this strategy and reinstated hedge accounting on the portfolio of fixed income investments using new swaps entered into at higher market rates. Income recognized from this strategy will reverse over time causing a decrease to net interest income. During the period, the decrease to net interest income was $63 million recorded in the Corporate segment.

The Bank had also implemented a strategy to mitigate FX risk on the expected USD cash consideration. Following the announcement to terminate the merger agreement, the Bank discontinued this strategy. Given the appreciation of the U.S. dollar during the life of the strategy, the Bank was in a net gain position on the date of hedge termination and cumulative net gains were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.

c) Implementation of the Canada Recovery Dividend and Change in Corporate Tax Rate

On December 15, 2022, Bill C-32, Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022, received Royal Assent. This bill enacted the Canada Recovery Dividend (CRD) and increased the Canadian federal tax rate for bank and life insurer groups by 1.5%.

The implementation of the CRD resulted in a provision for income taxes of $553 million and a charge to other comprehensive income of $239 million, recognized in the first quarter of 2023.

The increase in the Canadian federal tax rate of 1.5%, prorated for the first taxation year that ends after April 7, 2022, resulted in a provision for income taxes of $82 million and a tax benefit of $75 million in other comprehensive income related to fiscal 2022, recognized in the first quarter of 2023. The Bank also remeasured certain Canadian deferred tax assets and liabilities for the increase in tax rate, which resulted in an increase in net deferred tax assets of $50 million, which is recorded in provision for income taxes.

d) Stanford Litigation Settlement

In the US Rotstain v. Trustmark National Bank, et al. action, on February 24, 2023, the Bank reached a settlement in principle (the “settlement” or “agreement”) relating to litigation involving the Stanford Financial Group (the “Stanford litigation”), pursuant to which the Bank will pay US$1.205 billion to the court-appointed receiver for the Stanford Receivership Estate. Under the terms of the agreement, TD has settled with the receiver, the Official Stanford Investors Committee, and other plaintiffs in the litigation and these parties have agreed to release and dismiss all current or future claims arising from or related to the Stanford matter. As a result of this agreement, the Bank recorded a provision of approximately $1.6 billion pre-tax ($1.2 billion after-tax) in the first quarter of 2023. The Bank recognized a foreign exchange loss of $39 million ($28 million after-tax) in the second quarter of 2023, reflecting the impact of the difference between the foreign exchange rate used for recording the provision (effective January 31, 2023) and the foreign exchange rate at the time the settlement was reached.

HOW WE PERFORMED

HOW THE BANK REPORTS

The Bank prepares its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS and refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS as “reported” results.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

In addition to reported results, the Bank also presents certain financial measures, including non-GAAP financial measures that are historical, non-GAAP ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures, to assess its results. Non-GAAP financial measures, such as “adjusted” results, are utilized to assess the Bank’s businesses and to measure the Bank’s overall performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank adjusts for “items of note” from reported results. Items of note are items which management does not believe are indicative of underlying business performance and are disclosed in Table 3. Non-GAAP ratios include a non-GAAP financial measure as one or more of its components. Examples of non-GAAP ratios include adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted dividend payout ratio, adjusted efficiency ratio, and adjusted effective income tax rate. The Bank believes that non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Bank’s performance. Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios used in this document are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. Supplementary financial measures depict the Bank’s financial performance and position, and capital management measures depict the Bank’s capital position, and both are explained in this document where they first appear.

U.S. Strategic Cards

The Bank’s U.S. strategic cards portfolio is comprised of agreements with certain U.S. retailers pursuant to which TD is the U.S. issuer of private label and co-branded consumer credit cards to their U.S. customers. Under the terms of the individual agreements, the Bank and the retailers share in the profits generated by the relevant portfolios after credit losses. Under IFRS, TD is required to present the gross amount of revenue and provisions for credit losses (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’s 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.

Investment in The Charles Schwab Corporation and IDA Agreement

On October 6, 2020, the Bank acquired an approximately 13.5% stake in The Charles Schwab Corporation (“Schwab”) following the completion of Schwab’s acquisition of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (“TD Ameritrade”) of which the Bank was a major shareholder (the “Schwab transaction”). On August 1, 2022, the Bank sold 28.4 million non-voting common shares of Schwab, which reduced the Bank’s ownership interest in Schwab to approximately 12.0%. The Bank accounts for its investment in Schwab using the equity method. The U.S. Retail segment reflects the Bank’s share of net income from its investment in Schwab. The Corporate segment net income (loss) includes amounts for amortization of acquired intangibles and the acquisition and integration charges related to the Schwab transaction. The Bank’s share of Schwab’s earnings available to common shareholders is reported with a one-month lag. For further details, refer to Note 7 of the Bank’s third quarter 2023 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

On November 25, 2019, the Bank and Schwab signed an insured deposit account agreement (“2019 Schwab IDA Agreement”), with an initial expiration date of July 1, 2031. Pursuant to the 2019 Schwab IDA Agreement, the Bank made sweep deposit accounts available to clients of Schwab. Starting July 1, 2021, Schwab had the option to reduce the deposits by up to US$10 billion per year (subject to certain limitations and adjustments), with a floor of US$50 billion. In addition, Schwab requested some further operational flexibility to allow for the sweep deposit balances to fluctuate over time, under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations. Refer to the “Related Party Transactions” section in the 2022 MD&A for further details.

On May 4, 2023, the Bank and Schwab entered into an amended insured deposit account agreement (the “2023 Schwab IDA Agreement”), which replaced the 2019 Schwab IDA Agreement. In comparison to the 2019 Schwab IDA Agreement, the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement extends the initial expiration date by three years to July 1, 2034 and provides for lower deposit balances in its first six years, followed by higher balances in the later years. Specifically, until September 2025, the aggregate amount of fixed rate obligations will serve as the floor. Thereafter, the floor will be set at US$60 billion. In addition, Schwab has the option to buy down up to US$5 billion of fixed rate obligations by paying the Bank certain fees in accordance with the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement, subject to certain limits.

During the third quarter of 2023, Schwab exercised its option to buy down $3.3 billion (US$2.4 billion) of fixed rate obligations and paid $151 million (US$112 million) in termination fees to the Bank in accordance with the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement, which is intended to compensate the Bank for losses incurred this quarter from discontinuing certain hedging relationships, and lost revenues. The net impact is recorded in net interest income.

Return on Common Equity

The consolidated Bank ROE is calculated as reported net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity. The consolidated Bank adjusted ROE is calculated as adjusted net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity. Adjusted ROE is a non-GAAP financial ratio and can be utilized in assessing the Bank’s use of equity.

ROE for the business segments is calculated as the segment net income attributable to common shareholders as a percentage of average allocated capital. The Bank’s methodology for allocating capital to its business segments is largely aligned with the common equity capital requirements under Basel III. Capital allocated to the business segments was increased to 11% Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital effective the first quarter of 2023, compared with 10.5% in fiscal 2022.

Return on Tangible Common Equity

Tangible common equity (TCE) is calculated as common shareholders’ equity less goodwill, imputed goodwill and intangibles on the investments in Schwab 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 all items of note, as a percentage of average TCE. TCE, ROTCE, and adjusted ROTCE can be utilized in assessing the Bank’s use of equity. TCE is a non-GAAP financial measure, and ROTCE and adjusted ROTCE are non-GAAP ratios.

HOW OUR BUSINESSES PERFORMED

For management reporting purposes, the Bank’s business operations and activities are organized around the following four key business segments: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, U.S. Retail, Wealth Management and Insurance, 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 We Performed” section of this document, the “Business Focus” section in the Bank’s 2022 MD&A, and Note 29 of the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2022.

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 pre-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 $40 million, compared with $40 million in the prior quarter and $41 million in the third quarter last year.

Share of net income from investment in Schwab is reported in the U.S. Retail segment. Amounts for amortization of acquired intangibles and the acquisition and integration charges related to the Schwab transaction are recorded in the Corporate segment.

Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets. For the U.S. Retail segment, this calculation excludes the impact related to sweep deposits arrangements and intercompany deposits and cash collateral. The value of tax-exempt interest income is adjusted to its equivalent before-tax value. For investment securities, the adjustment to fair value is included in the calculation of average interest-earning assets. Management believes this calculation better reflects segment performance. Net interest income and average interest-earning assets used in the calculation are non-GAAP financial measures.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2023 vs. Q3 2022

Wholesale Banking reported net income for the quarter was $272 million, relatively flat compared with the third quarter last year, reflecting higher non-interest expenses largely offset by higher revenues. On an adjusted basis, net income was $377 million, an increase of $106 million or 39%.

Revenue for the quarter, including TD Cowen, was $1,568 million, an increase of $492 million, or 46%, compared with the third quarter last year. Higher revenue primarily reflects higher equity commissions, underwriting fees, trading-related revenue, global transaction banking revenue, and markdowns in certain loan underwriting commitments in the prior year.

PCL for the quarter was $25 million, flat compared with the third quarter last year. PCL – impaired was $10 million, an increase of $10 million. PCL – performing was $15 million, a decrease of $10 million.

Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter, including TD Cowen, were $1,247 million, an increase of $556 million, or 80%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily reflecting acquisition and integration-related costs. Higher expenses also reflected continued investments in Wholesale Banking’s U.S. dollar strategy, including the hiring of banking, sales and trading, and technology professionals, and the impact of foreign exchange translation. On an adjusted basis, non-interest expenses were $1,104 million, an increase of $413 million, or 60%.
