| Statement |

| And we think that once we hear from the Superintendent [ph], in June, we'll be in a much more confident position to turn the DRIP off, which we expect to be quicker than what we thought prior |
| We're optimistic that with the good start we had in the first quarter that helps in supporting the marginal EPS growth, which we still expect for the whole year, the outlook that we talked about |
| But we are realizing benefits our enterprise wide efforts by way of discipline capital allocation, focusing on investments that deliver returns, maintaining a strong balance sheet, a focus on deposit growth and building primary client relationships that enhanced profitability and cost efficiency |
| Strong revenue growth coupled with disciplined cost performance across our businesses allowed us to improve profitability quarter-over-quarter despite higher credit provisions |
| We further strengthened our balance sheet and liquidity profile in keeping with our commitment to build capital over time |
| I think that will continue as the markets remain -- hopefully get better, particularly with the rate situation, helping our debt portfolio and the assets under management and the equity market, they remain strong [indiscernible] |
| As the markets have improved, we have seen quarter-over-quarter improvement in wealth as in Q1 |
| International Wealth Management generated earnings of $65 million, up 18%, driven by higher mutual fund revenues in Mexico and strong loan and deposit growth across our footprint |
| And -- but I would say, when we look at the numbers, we have seen improvements in the risk-adjusted returns and risk-adjusted margins in these portfolios quarter-over-quarter |
| However, we did see growth sequentially in conjunction with a significant improvement in our return on risk weighted assets, which we believe to be an important metric in driving shareholder value |
| Our organizational focus on core deposits continues to show progress with deposits up on an all bank basis and strong growth in the P&C businesses with 9% deposit growth in Canadian banking and 5% deposit growth in the International Banking |
| So during the quarter, we have fantastic execution of a very strong pipeline on the fee side |
| It is a record quarter, $372 million, fantastic performance across all the countries, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Colombia, Brazil everywhere |
| business generated strong earnings of $237 million, up 13% year-over-year |
| However, net income grew a strong 12% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting improving market conditions |
| Q1 was a very good example of execution around that expense discipline as we transition into a regional operating model |
| Our Canadian Banking business had a strong start to the year, delivering 7% revenue growth and 3% expense growth resulting in positive operating leverage |
| Mexico specifically represents the largest opportunity as positive mutual fund inflows and strong fund performance are driving highly accretive growth in this business |
| Lower growth in mortgages has been offset by continued growth in business banking and strong credit card momentum, which allows us to continue to diversify our business mix |
| Deposit growth continues to track well at 9% in the period contributing to margin expansion and favorable trends in terms of our loan to deposit ratios |
| The continued strength of the Scene+ loyalty program now 15 million members strong provides a significant opportunity to acquire new payment clients, an important step to a longer term primary relationship with the bank |
| We're having good success with our bundled offerings |
| GBM Latin America, which is reported as part of International Banking reported earnings of $372 million, up 24% compared to the prior year as a result of strong revenue growth in capital markets and fee income from business banking across all countries |
| And in that regard, we highlighted particularly two of interest and great benefit to International Banking |
| I mean it was just a fantastic result in the quarter |
| Tangerine delivered its highest quarterly earnings ever, of $107 million, up 9% year-over-year |
| Tangerines differentiated digital offering and expanded product capability continues to be a unique driver of additional primary clients |
| So we're not talking about parallel shift now, which is what should happen because the curve is inverted, but bank will continue to benefit meaningfully, which will show up to the other segment when actual rate cuts happen |
| Global wealth earnings of $374 million reflect the strength of our asset management franchise, the power of our diversified domestic client advisory channels, rebounding market performance in recent months and strong momentum in our international wealth business |
| And then as the balance sheet evolves, we expect to be positioned much better than what we've been in the past |
| Statement |
|---|
| Net interest income was down 22% year-over-year and 11% quarter-over-quarter as a result of lower loan and deposit volumes, lower lending margins and higher trading-related funding costs |
| Investment fund sales in Canada continued to be under pressure with approximately $13 billion in net redemptions this quarter |
| Higher delinquencies across most of our retail portfolios this quarter reflect the challenging macroeconomic environment |
| Capital markets revenue was down 12% year-over-year as fixed income revenues were down 22% |
| Earnings of $374 million declined 4% year-over-year as strong 18% growth within International Wealth was offset by Canadian results declining 8%, largely due to higher expenses, lower trading volumes, offset by growth in asset management |
| It is important to note that our wholesale business in Canada will face a profitability headwind going forward because of a pending change in Canadian tax legislation related to the elimination of the corporate dividend deduction |
| Limited economic growth and higher household expenses persisted through Q1 as a result of sticky inflation |
| Business banking revenues declined 5%, both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, as loans were down 7% year-over-year |
| Macroeconomic and geopolitical pressures continue to weigh on our international banking footprint |
| Non-interest income was down 5% year-over-year due to elevated private equity gains in the prior year and loss of income from the sale of our equity interest in Canadian Tire Financial Services |
| This quarter, all bank PCLs were 50 basis points, driven by the following: One, Canadian commercial exposure in the transportation industry; Stage 3 migration in our Canadian retail portfolio; and persistent challenging market conditions in Peru and Colombia |
| Total PCLs of 50 basis points or $962 million are down $294 million quarter-over-quarter |
| In the near term, specifically in Peru and Colombia, delinquencies are expected to increase, with economic recovery expected to be more challenged |
| Impaired PCLs were $942 million or 49 basis points, up $140 million quarter-over-quarter, largely driven by deterioration in Canadian Automotive Finance, Colombia and Peru |
| Non-interest income decreased 2% year-over-year, primarily due to lower fixed income trading related revenue, partly offset by higher underwriting and advisory fees |
| This quarter's results reflect an increase in credit provisioning, given the incremental financial strain that sustained higher interest rates are having on our clients |
| We expect the Canadian economy to underperform both the U.S |
| It did, however, feel listening to your comments that we could see some near-term deterioration |
| But when you look at it from this quarter to, say, same quarter last year, that's definitely a headwind, which shows up in the other segment |
| If I step back away from customers without mortgages, this is a single service customer where we're seeing stress in the portfolio |
