The Banks interest and dividend requirements on all subordinated notes and debentures, preferred shares and liabilities for preferred shares and other equity instruments and capital trust securities, after adjustment for new issues and retirement, amounted to $1,149.7 million for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023. The Banks reported net income, before interest on subordinated debt and liabilities for preferred shares and capital trust securities and income taxes was $13,525 million for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, which was 11.8 times the Banks aggregate dividend and interest requirement for this period.

The Bank prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the current generally accepted accounting principles (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 (i.e. reported results excluding items of note) and non-GAAP ratios to assess each of its businesses and measure overall Bank performance. The Bank believes that non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Banks performance. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios used in this presentation are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. See Financial Results Overview in the Banks 2023 MD&A (available at www.td.com/investor and www.sedar.com), which is incorporated by reference, for further explanation, reported basis results, a list of the items of note, and a reconciliation of adjusted to reported results.

TORONTO, November 30, 2023 TD Bank Group (TD or the Bank) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2023. Reported earnings were $2.9 billion, down 57% compared with the fourth quarter last year, and adjusted earnings were $3.5 billion, down 14%.
TD delivered strong revenue growth this quarter, reflecting positive underlying business momentum and the benefits of our diversified business model, said Bharat Masrani, Group President and CEO, TD Bank Group. In a complex operating environment, we continued to adapt, invest in new capabilities and take important steps to deliver efficiencies and drive growth across the Bank.
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking delivered a strong quarter supported by net interest margin expansion and volume growth
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net income was $1,679 million, a decline of 1% compared to the fourth quarter last year. The decrease primarily reflects higher provisions for credit losses (PCL) and expenses, partially offset by revenue growth. Revenue was $4,754 million, an increase of 7%, reflecting volume growth and higher margins. The segment delivered its tenth quarter of positive operating leverage in a row.
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking continued to deliver growth, driven by a record quarter for New to Canada account openings. This quarter, TD launched a First Home Savings Account to enable customers to invest tax-free for a down payment on their first home. In addition, TD was recognized by Rewards Canada readers with more credit card and loyalty program awards than any other card issuer, with the Bank taking first place in four of seven categories1.
The U.S. Retail Bank continued to show operating momentum in a challenging environment
U.S. Retail reported net income of $1,280 million, a decrease of 17% (19% in U.S. dollars) compared with the fourth quarter last year. On an adjusted basis net income was $1,280 million, a decline of 19% (21% in U.S. dollars). Prior year reported net income included charges for the terminated First Horizon transaction. TD Banks investment in The Charles Schwab Corporation (Schwab) contributed $197 million in earnings, a decrease of 36% (38% in U.S. dollars) compared with the fourth quarter last year.
The U.S. Retail Bank, which excludes the Banks investment in Schwab, reported net income of $1,083 million (US$800 million), a decrease of 12% (14% in U.S. dollars) from the fourth quarter last year, primarily reflecting higher non-interest expenses, higher PCL, and lower revenue. On an adjusted basis net income was $1,083 million (US$800 million), a decrease of 15% (17% in U.S. dollars) from the fourth quarter last year. Prior year reported net income included charges for the terminated First Horizon transaction.
The U.S. Retail Bank continued its loan growth momentum, with total average loan balances up 10% compared with the fourth quarter last year and up 2% from last quarter. This reflects new customer acquisition, deepening relationships in core franchise businesses, and slower payment rates in the high interest rate

environment. Total personal and business deposit average balances were down 4% compared with the fourth quarter last year amid competitive market conditions. Personal and business deposit average balances increased 1% quarter over quarter, reflecting account acquisitions in term deposit and chequing products.
During the quarter, TD Bank, Americas Most Convenient Bank® (TD AMCB) welcomed new customers and further strengthened its store network, opening six new stores, including one in a low- and moderate-income area. TD AMCB also introduced overdraft grace period alerts to help customers better manage their finances. For the seventh consecutive year, TD AMCB ranked #1 in its footprint by total number of approved U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loan units and ranked as the #2 National SBA Lender in 20232.
Wealth Management and Insurance delivered solid results
Wealth Management and Insurance net income was $501 million, a decrease of 3% compared with the fourth quarter last year, primarily reflecting higher insurance claims and related expenses, partially offset by higher revenues. This quarters revenue growth of 9% highlighted the strength of the segments diversified business model as higher insurance premiums and fee-based revenue offset the impact of lower transaction revenue. Insurance claims and related expenses rose 39%, mainly reflecting increased severe weather-related events, inflation and automobile thefts.
With continued focus on client-centric innovation, TD Direct Investing launched TD Active Trader, the Banks redesigned platform for active traders, offering extensive order customization with speed and reliability. TD Active Trader joins the Banks suite of leading trading platforms. TD Private Wealth Management continues to accelerate the expansion of its advice teams while deepening relationships with existing TD clients, which translated into market share growth. TD Insurance introduced a new digital quoter for Small Business Insurance to better serve small business owners in their channel of choice.
Challenging quarter for Wholesale Banking
Wholesale Banking reported net income for the quarter was $17 million, down $244 million or 93% compared to the fourth quarter last year. The results reflect higher non-interest expenses, which include acquisition and integration costs, partially offset by higher revenues. On an adjusted basis, net income was $178 million, a decrease of $97 million, or 35%. Revenue increased 28%, reflecting the benefits of the Cowen Inc. acquisition and growth in Global Markets and Corporate and Investment Banking in a challenging market.
This quarter, the Wholesale Bank continued to demonstrate its leadership in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and deepened the Banks commitment to a low carbon economy. TD Securities agreed to purchase 27,500 metric tons of Direct Air Capture (DAC) carbon dioxide removal credits over a four-year period from STRATOS, 1PointFives first DAC plant currently under construction in Texas, subject to STRATOS becoming operational. TD Securities also reached a significant TD Cowen integration milestone, combining its U.S. Institutional Equities and Convertibles businesses to deliver a full-service North American equities platform to clients.
Shaping the future of banking
This quarter, the Bank launched TD Invent, an enterprise approach to innovation that supports its forward-focused business strategy and delivers new products and services for customers. This integration of innovation and business strategies combined with the Banks Next Evolution of Work agile operating model powered the recent redesign of TDs mobile banking app. Leveraging its North American scale, TD introduced the redesigned app in both the U.S. and Canada, strengthening digital capabilities for more than 12 million North American mobile users. The Bank was also recognized by Global Finance as Best Consumer Digital Bank in North America for the third year in a row.
Capital
TDs Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 14.4%.
Conclusion
For fiscal 2024, it will be challenging for the Bank to meet its medium-term adjusted EPS growth target range of 7-10% and return on equity target of 16+% as it navigates a complex macroeconomic environment, expected further normalization in PCLs and critical business investments.
We enter 2024 from a position of strength, with proven resiliency, a powerful brand, and a strong capital position, said Masrani. I want to thank our more than 95,000 colleagues across the globe who bring TDs purpose to life every day.

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).
c) Termination of the Merger Agreement with First Horizon Corporation
On May 4, 2023, the Bank and First Horizon Corporation (First Horizon or FHN) 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 was recognized in non-interest expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and was 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 second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Bank recognized a valuation adjustment loss of $199 million (US$147 million) on this investment, recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI). 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) during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 in OCI based on First Horizons 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 Horizons 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 year ended October 31, 2023, the Bank reported ($1,386) million in non-interest income related to the mark-to-market on the swaps, and $262 million in net interest income related to the basis adjustment amortization. In addition, for the year ended October 31, 2023, the Bank reported $585 million 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. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the decrease to net interest income was ($127) 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 (AOCI).
d) 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 OCI 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 OCI 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.
e) 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 agreed to 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.
f) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Special Assessment
On November 16, 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) announced a final rule that implements a special assessment to recover the losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund arising from the protection of uninsured depositors during the U.S. bank failures in Spring 2023 (the Special Assessment). The Special Assessment is expected to result in the recognition of a provision of approximately US$300 million pre-tax in the first quarter of the Banks fiscal 2024.

HOW WE PERFORMED
ECONOMIC SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
The global economy remains on track to slow in calendar 2023 and 2024, but to a lesser extent than anticipated in the previous quarter. Inflation has generally continued to cool across the G-7, and more central banks have taken a pause on interest rate hikes. Central bankers will remain vigilant on inflation and further rate hikes cannot be ruled out, but most are fine-tuning interest rate adjustments at this stage. The lagged impact of cumulative interest rate hikes is expected to be the primary influence dampening economic growth and returning inflation closer to the target ranges of the various regions by the end of calendar 2024.
The U.S. economy expanded by 4.9% annualized in the third calendar quarter of 2023. Underlying domestic demand grew at an impressive 3.5% pace, as consumer spending accelerated from a soft performance in the second calendar quarter. Government spending accelerated, driven by an uptick in federal defence spending. Housing activity also increased for the first time in over two years, reflecting lower mortgage rates earlier in the year. However, business investment weakened, after a stronger-than-expected performance in the first half of calendar 2023.
As of October, the U.S. job market was still tight with the unemployment rate still historically low at 3.9%. However, there are signs that demand for workers is cooling, as evidenced by both slower trend growth in payrolls and a slight increase in the unemployment rate over the prior six months. Although the downturn in total inflation has stalled in recent months due to higher energy costs, core inflation measures have continued to move lower. Underlying services prices continue to be a source of persistent price pressure. Given that inflation remains well above the U.S. Federal Reserves 2% target, the central bank remains highly attentive to upside risks.
TD Economics continues to believe there is a chance the federal funds rate may rise a further quarter point from its current range of 5.25-5.50% early in calendar 2024. The economic environment remains fluid. If the central bank sees evidence of further cooling in the labor market and is increasingly confident that inflation is headed towards its 2% target, it could opt to hold rates steady. Given the steep rise in interest rates over the past year, the trend towards tighter U.S. credit and financial conditions, and the likelihood of rolling periods of financial stress related to risk factors, the probability of a recession stateside remains elevated.
The Canadian economy has been affected by numerous temporary economic events, which have contributed to weakness in the economic activity data. Real GDP was nearly unchanged in the second calendar quarter of 2023, reflecting softer consumer spending and ongoing weakness in housing activity. Business investment was one bright spot, as investment in engineering structures and transportation equipment increased.
Despite signs of slowing in the Canadian economy, progress on inflation has stalled in recent months. The trend rate of job growth has slowed below that of the labour force, pushing the unemployment rate higher. TD Economics expects the unemployment rate to continue to move higher in the months ahead, contributing to prolonged weakness in consumer spending. Given the uncertainty surrounding the impact of substantial interest rate hikes on highly indebted Canadian households, the risk of recession also remains elevated in Canada.
The Bank of Canada has left the overnight interest rate unchanged at 5.00% since July. However, it has expressed concern about the persistence of underlying inflation. TD Economics does not expect further interest rate hikes, but the incoming economic data will determine whether more will be required in Canada to bring inflation down to the 2% target. The Canadian dollar is expected to hover in the 72 to 74 U.S. cent range over the next few quarters.
HOW THE BANK REPORTS
The Bank prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS, the current GAAP, 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 Banks businesses and to measure the Banks 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 Banks 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 Banks financial performance and position, and capital management measures depict the Banks capital position, and both are explained in this document where they first appear.
U.S. Strategic Cards
The Banks 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 Banks 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 Corporates 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 Schwabs 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, at a price of US$66.53 per share for proceeds of $2.5 billion (US$1.9 billion), which reduced the Banks ownership interest in Schwab to approximately 12.0%. The Bank recognized $997 million as other income (net of $368 million loss from AOCI reclassified to earnings), in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
The Bank accounts for its investment in Schwab using the equity method. The U.S. Retail segment reflects the Banks share of net income from its investment in Schwab. The Corporate segment net income (loss) includes amounts for amortization of acquired intangibles, the acquisition and integration charges related to the Schwab transaction, and the Banks share of restructuring charges incurred by Schwab. The Banks share of Schwabs earnings available to common shareholders is reported with a one-month lag. For further details, refer to Note 12 of the 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements.
On November 25, 2019, the Bank and Schwab signed an insured deposit account agreement (the 2019 Schwab IDA Agreement), with an initial expiration date of July 1, 2031. Under the 2019 Schwab IDA Agreement, 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
TD BANK GROUP FOURTH QUARTER 2023 EARNINGS NEWS RELEASE | Page 6 |
sweep deposit balances to fluctuate over time, under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations. Refer to the Related Party Transactions section in the 2023 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 or the Schwab IDA Agreement), which replaced the 2019 Schwab IDA Agreement. Pursuant to the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement, the Bank continues to make sweep deposit accounts available to clients of Schwab. Schwab designates a portion of the deposits with the Bank as fixed-rate obligation amounts (FROA). Remaining deposits over the minimum level of FROA are designated as floating-rate obligations. 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 FROA 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 $6.8 billion (US$5 billion) of FROA by paying the Bank certain fees in accordance with the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement, subject to certain limits.
During the year ended October 31, 2023, Schwab exercised its option to buy down $6.1 billion (US$4.5 billion) of FROA and paid $305 million (US$227 million) in termination fees to the Bank in accordance with the 2023 Schwab IDA Agreement. The fees are intended to compensate the Bank for losses incurred this year from discontinuing certain hedging relationships, as well as for 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 ratio, and can be utilized in assessing the Banks 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 Banks 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 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 Banks 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 Banks 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 Banks 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 Note 28 of the Banks Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2023.
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 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 $44 million, compared with $36 million in the fourth quarter last year, and $40 million in the prior quarter.
Share of net income from investment in Schwab is reported in the U.S. Retail segment. Amounts for amortization of acquired intangibles, the Banks share of acquisition and integration charges associated with Schwabs acquisition of TD Ameritrade, and the Banks share of Schwabs restructuring charges are recorded in the Corporate segment.

On an adjusted basis, excluding acquisition and integration-related charges for the terminated First Horizon transaction in the fourth quarter last year, non-interest expenses increased US$88 million, or 6%.
The reported and adjusted efficiency ratios for the quarter were 58.0%, compared with 54.9% and 53.1%, respectively, in the fourth quarter last year.

The contribution from Schwab of $197 million (US$146 million), increased $6 million (US$4 million), or 3% (3% in U.S. dollars), reflecting higher asset management and administration fees and higher bank deposit account fees, partially offset by lower net interest revenue and lower trading revenue. U.S. Retail Bank reported net income was $1,083 million (US$800 million), a decrease of $40 million (US$42 million), or 4% (5% in U.S. dollars), compared with the prior quarter, reflecting higher non-interest expenses and higher PCL, partially offset by higher revenue.

Revenue decreased US$20 million, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter. Net interest income of US$2,178 million increased US$21 million, or 1%, reflecting higher deposit margins and higher loan volumes, partially offset by lower margin on loans.

Average loan volumes increased US$5 billion, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter. Personal loans increased 4%, reflecting good originations and slower payment rates across portfolios.

Quarterly comparison Q4 2023 vs. Q4 2022
Corporate segments reported net loss for the quarter was $591 million, compared with net income of $2,661 million in the fourth quarter last year. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects gains in the prior year from the impact of the terminated First Horizon acquisition-related capital hedging strategy and from the sale of Schwab shares, and restructuring charges in the current quarter. Other items decreased $83 million, primarily reflecting the favourable tax impact of earnings mix and the recognition of unused tax losses in the prior year, partially offset by higher revenue from treasury and balance sheet management activities this quarter. The adjusted net loss for the quarter was $133 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $10 million in the fourth quarter last year.
Quarterly comparison Q4 2023 vs. Q3 2023
Corporate segments reported net loss for the quarter was $591 million, compared with net loss of $782 million in the prior quarter. The lower net loss quarter-over-quarter primarily reflects the payment related to the termination of the First Horizon transaction in the prior quarter, a lower net loss from the impact of the terminated First Horizon acquisition-related capital hedging strategy in the current quarter and lower net corporate expenses, partially offset by restructuring charges in the current quarter.

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries (TD), which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheets as at October 31, 2023 and 2022, and the Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements).
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of TD as at October 31, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of TD in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the year ended October 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for credit losses | ||
Key audit matter | TD describes its significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions in relation to the allowance for credit losses in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, TD recognized $8,189 million in allowances for credit losses on its consolidated balance sheet using an expected credit loss model (ECL). The ECL is an unbiased and probability-weighted estimate of credit losses expected to occur in the future, which is based on the probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD) or the expected cash shortfall relating to the underlying financial asset. The ECL is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes incorporating the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions, and future economic forecasts. ECL allowances are measured at amounts equal to either (i) 12-month ECL; or (ii) lifetime ECL for those financial instruments that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) since initial recognition or when there is objective evidence of impairment.
Auditing the allowance for credit losses was complex and required the application of significant judgment and involvement of specialists because of the sophistication of the models, the forward-looking nature of the key assumptions, and the inherent interrelationship of the critical variables used in measuring the ECL. Key areas of judgment include evaluating: (i) the models and methodologies used for measuring both the 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses; (ii) the assumptions used in the ECL scenarios including forward-looking information (FLI) and assigning probability weighting; (iii) the determination of SICR; and (iv) the assessment of the qualitative component applied to the modelled ECL based on managements expert credit judgment. | |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of managements controls over the allowance for credit losses. The controls we tested included, amongst others, the development and validation of models and selection of appropriate inputs including economic forecasting, determination of non-retail borrower risk ratings, the integrity of the data used including the associated controls over relevant information technology (IT) systems, and the governance and oversight over the modelled results and the use of expert credit judgment.
To test the allowance for credit losses, our audit procedures included, amongst others, involving our credit risk specialists to assess whether the methodology and assumptions, including managements SICR triggers, used in significant models that estimate the ECL across various portfolios are consistent with the requirements of IFRS. This included reperforming the model validation procedures for a sample of models to evaluate whether managements conclusions were appropriate. With the assistance of our economic specialists, we evaluated the models, methodology and process used by management to develop the FLI variable forecasts for each scenario and the scenario probability weights. For a sample of FLI variables, we compared managements FLI to independently derived forecasts and publicly available information. On a sample basis, we recalculated the ECL to test the mathematical accuracy of managements models. We tested the completeness and accuracy of data used in measuring the ECL by agreeing to source documents and systems and evaluated a sample of managements non-retail borrower risk ratings against TDs risk rating policy. With the assistance of our credit risk specialists, we also evaluated managements methodology and governance over the application of expert credit judgment by evaluating that the amounts recorded were reflective of underlying credit quality and macroeconomic trends. We also assessed the adequacy of disclosures related to the allowance for credit losses. | |
Fair value measurement of derivatives | ||
Key audit matter | TD describes its significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions in relation to the fair value measurement of derivatives in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements, TD has derivative assets of $87,382 million and derivative liabilities of $71,640 million recorded at fair value. Certain of these |
TD BANK GROUP 2023 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES | Page 1 |
derivatives are complex and illiquid and require valuation techniques that may include complex models and non-observable inputs, requiring managements estimation and judgment.
Auditing the valuation of certain derivatives required the application of significant auditor judgment and involvement of valuation specialists in assessing the complex models and non-observable inputs used, including any significant valuation adjustments applied. Certain valuation inputs used to determine fair value that may be non-observable include volatilities, correlations, and credit spreads. The valuation of certain derivatives is sensitive to these inputs as they are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. | ||
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of managements controls, including the associated controls over relevant IT systems, over the valuation of TDs derivative portfolio. The controls we tested included, amongst others, the controls over the suitability and mechanical accuracy of models used in the valuation of derivatives, controls over managements independent assessment of fair values, including the integrity of data used in the valuation such as the significant inputs noted above, and controls over the review of significant valuation adjustments applied.
To test the valuation of these derivatives, our audit procedures included, amongst others, an evaluation of the methodologies and significant inputs used by TD. With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we performed an independent valuation for a sample of derivatives to assess the modelling assumptions and significant inputs used to estimate the fair value, which involved obtaining significant inputs from independent external sources, where available. For a sample of valuation adjustments, we utilized the assistance of our valuation specialists to evaluate the methodology applied and performed a recalculation of these adjustments. We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related to the fair value measurement of derivatives. | |
Measurement of provision for uncertain tax positions | ||
Key audit matter | TD describes its significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions in relation to income taxes in Note 3 and Note 24 of the consolidated financial statements. As a financial institution operating in multiple jurisdictions, TD is subject to complex and constantly evolving tax legislation. Uncertainty in a tax position may arise as tax laws are subject to interpretation. TD uses significant judgment in i) determining whether it is probable that TD will have to make a payment to tax authorities upon their examination of certain uncertain tax positions and ii) measuring the amount of the provision.
Auditing TD0s provision for uncertain tax positions involved the application of judgment and is based on interpretation of tax legislation and jurisprudence. | |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of managements controls over TDs provision for uncertain tax positions. The controls we tested included, amongst others, the controls over the assessment of the technical merits of tax positions and managements process to measure the provision for uncertain tax positions.
With the assistance of our tax professionals, we assessed the technical merits and the amount recorded for uncertain tax positions. Our audit procedures included, amongst others, using our knowledge of, and experience with, the application of tax laws by the relevant income tax authorities to evaluate TDs interpretations and assessment of tax laws with respect to uncertain tax positions. We assessed the implications of correspondence received by TD from the relevant tax authorities and evaluated income tax opinions or other third-party advice obtained. We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related to uncertain tax positions. |
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:
| Managements Discussion and Analysis; and |
| The information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditors report thereon, in the 2023 Annual Report. |
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Managements Discussion and Analysis and the 2023 Annual Report prior to the date of this auditors report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditors report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing TDs ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate TD or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing TDs financial reporting process.
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
TD BANK GROUP 2023 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES | Page 2 |
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of TDs internal control. |
| Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
| Conclude on the appropriateness of managements use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on TDs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors report. However, future events or conditions may cause TD to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within TD to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors report is Helen Mitchell.
