The financial information reported in this document is based on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2022 and is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), unless otherwise indicated.

MONTREAL, August 24, 2022 – For the third quarter of 2022, National Bank is reporting net income of \$826 million, down 2% from \$839 million in the third quarter of 2021. Third-quarter diluted earnings per share stood at \$2.35 compared to \$2.36 in the third quarter of 2021. Solid performance in all of the business segments was partly offset by higher provisions for credit losses recorded to reflect a less favourable macroeconomic outlook in the third quarter of 2022, whereas, in the third quarter of 2021, reversals of allowances for credit losses had been recorded to reflect a more favourable macroeconomic outlook. Income before provisions for credit losses and income taxes totalled \$1,107 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to \$1,038 million in the third quarter of 2021, a 7% increase arising from total revenue growth in all of the business segments.
For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the Bank's net income totalled \$2,651 million, up 10% from \$2,401 million in the same period of 2021, while nine-month diluted earnings per share stood at \$7.55 compared to \$6.77 in the same period last year. Excellent performance in all of the business segments, driven by revenue growth, contributed to these increases in nine-month net income and diluted earnings per share, even though there were higher provisions for credit losses. Also for the nine-month period, income before provisions for credit losses and income taxes totalled \$3,442 million, a 10% year-over-year increase driven by the revenue growth in all of the business segments.
"The Bank's excellent results in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were driven by strong growth in each of the business segments. Sustained loan and deposit growth contributed to the Bank's performance this quarter," said Laurent Ferreira, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Bank of Canada. "We continue to operate in an increasingly complex backdrop. Despite these challenges, the Bank is in a solid position with strong capital levels and substantial allowances for credit losses, which, along with our prudent positioning, gives us comfort in the current environment," added Mr. Ferreira.

Certain statements in this document are forward-looking statements. All such statements are made in accordance with applicable securities legislation in Canada and the United States. Forward-looking statements in this document may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the economy—particularly the Canadian and U.S. economies—market changes, the Bank's objectives, outlook and priorities for fiscal year 2022 and beyond, the strategies or actions that will be taken to achieve them, expectations about the Bank's financial condition, the regulatory environment in which it operates, the impacts of—and the Bank's response to—the COVID-19 pandemic, and certain risks it faces. These forward-looking statements are typically identified by verbs or words such as "outlook", "believe", "foresee", "forecast", "anticipate", "estimate", "project", "expect", "intend" and "plan", in their future or conditional forms, notably verbs such as "will", "may", "should", "could" or "would" as well as similar terms and expressions. Such forward-looking statements are made for the purpose of assisting the holders of the Bank's securities in understanding the Bank's financial position and results of operations as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, as well as the Bank's vision, strategic objectives, and financial performance targets, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and intentions and are subject to uncertainty and inherent risks, many of which are beyond the Bank's control.
Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and U.S. economies in 2022, including in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and how that will affect the Bank's business are among the main factors considered in setting the Bank's strategic priorities and objectives, including allowances for credit losses. In determining its expectations for economic conditions, both broadly and in the financial services sector in particular, the Bank primarily considers historical economic data provided by the governments of Canada, the United States, and certain other countries in which the Bank conducts business, as well as their agencies.
Statements about the economy, market changes, and the Bank's objectives, outlook and priorities for fiscal 2022 and thereafter are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to risk factors, many of which are beyond the Bank's control and the impacts of which are difficult to predict. These risk factors include, among others, the general economic environment and financial market conditions in Canada, the United States, and other countries where the Bank operates; exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations; inflation; higher funding costs and greater market volatility; changes made to fiscal, monetary, and other public policies; changes made to regulations that affect the Bank's business; geopolitical and sociopolitical uncertainty; the transition to a low-carbon economy and the Bank's ability to satisfy stakeholder expectations on environmental and social issues; significant changes in consumer behaviour; the housing situation, real estate market, and household indebtedness in Canada; the Bank's ability to achieve its long-term strategies and key short-term priorities; the timely development and launch of new products and services; the Bank's ability to recruit and retain key personnel; technological innovation and heightened competition from established companies and from competitors offering non-traditional services; changes in the performance and creditworthiness of the Bank's clients and counterparties; the Bank's exposure to significant regulatory matters or litigation; changes made to the accounting policies used by the Bank to report financial information, including the uncertainty inherent to assumptions and critical accounting estimates; changes to tax legislation in the countries where the Bank operates, i.e., primarily Canada and the United States; changes made to capital and liquidity guidelines as well as to the presentation and interpretation thereof; changes to the credit ratings assigned to the Bank; potential disruptions to key suppliers of goods and services to the Bank; potential disruptions to the Bank's information technology systems, including evolving cyberattack risk as well as identity theft and theft of personal information; the risk of fraudulent activity; and possible impacts of major events affecting the local and global economies, including international conflicts, natural disasters, and public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
There is a strong possibility that the Bank's express or implied predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that its assumptions may not be confirmed, and that its vision, strategic objectives and financial performance targets will not be achieved. The Bank recommends that readers not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as a number of factors, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, could cause actual results to differ significantly from the expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in these forward-looking statements. These risk factors include credit risk, market risk, liquidity and funding risks, operational risk, regulatory compliance risk, reputation risk, strategic risk, environmental and social risks, and certain emerging risks or risks deemed significant, all of which are described in greater detail in the Risk Management section beginning on page 69 of the 2021 Annual Report.
The foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. Additional information about these risk factors is provided in the Risk Management section and in the COVID-19 Pandemic section of the 2021 Annual Report and in the Risk Management section of this Report to Shareholders for the Third Quarter of 2022. Investors and others who rely on the Bank's forward-looking statements should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. Except as required by law, the Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, by it or on its behalf. The Bank cautions investors that these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual events or results may differ significantly from these statements due to a number of factors.
The Bank's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB. The financial statements also comply with section 308(4) of the Bank Act (Canada), which states that, except as otherwise specified by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada) (OSFI), the consolidated financial statements are to be prepared in accordance with IFRS, which represent Canadian GAAP. None of the OSFI accounting requirements are exceptions to IFRS.
The presentation of segment disclosures is consistent with the presentation adopted by the Bank for the fiscal year beginning November 1, 2021. This presentation reflects the fact that the loan portfolio comprising borrowers in the "Oil and gas" and "Pipelines" sectors as well as related activities, which had previously been reported in the Personal and Commercial segment, is now reported in the Financial Markets segment. The Bank made this change to better align the monitoring of its activities with its management structure.
The Bank uses a number of financial measures when assessing its results and measuring overall performance. Some of these financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Regulation 52-112 Respecting Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure (Regulation 52-112) prescribes disclosure requirements that apply to the following measures used by the Bank:
The Bank uses non-GAAP financial measures that do not have standardized meanings under GAAP and that therefore may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Presenting non-GAAP financial measures helps readers to better understand how management analyzes results, shows the impacts of specified items on the results of the reported periods, and allows readers to assess results without the specified items if they consider such items not to be reflective of the underlying performance of the Bank's operations. In addition, like many other financial institutions, the Bank uses the taxable equivalent basis to calculate net interest income, non-interest income, and income taxes. This calculation method consists of grossing up certain tax-exempt income (particularly dividends) by the income tax that would have been otherwise payable. An equivalent amount is added to income taxes. This adjustment is necessary in order to perform a uniform comparison of the return on different assets regardless of their tax treatment.
The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Bank are as follows: Adjusted net interest income; adjusted net interest income, non-trading; adjusted noninterest income; adjusted total revenues; adjusted non-interest expenses; adjusted income before provisions for credit losses and income taxes; adjusted income before income taxes; adjusted income taxes; adjusted net income; adjusted non-controlling interests; adjusted net income attributable to the Bank's shareholders and holders of other equity instruments; adjusted basic earnings per share; and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Quantitative reconciliations of these measures are presented in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables on page 6 and in the Consolidated Results table on page 9.
The Bank uses non-GAAP ratios that do not have standardized meanings under GAAP and that therefore may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. A non-GAAP ratio is a ratio in which at least one component is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Bank uses non-GAAP ratios to present aspects of its financial performance or financial position, including adjusted efficiency ratio; adjusted operating leverage; adjusted return on common shareholders' equity; adjusted dividend payout ratio; and adjusted net interest margin, non-trading. For additional information about the composition of these ratios, see the Glossary section on pages 45 to 48 of this MD&A.
A supplementary financial measure is a financial measure that: (a) is not reported in the Bank's consolidated financial statements, and (b) is, or is intended to be, reported periodically to represent historical or expected financial performance, financial position, or cash flows. The composition of these supplementary financial measures is presented in table footnotes or in the Glossary section on pages 45 to 48 of this MD&A.
The financial reporting framework used to prepare the financial statements requires disclosure that help readers assess the Bank's capital management objectives, policies, and processes, as set out in IFRS in IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. The Bank has its own methods for managing capital and liquidity, and IFRS does not prescribe any particular calculation method. These measures are calculated using various guidelines and advisories issued by OSFI, which are based on the standards, recommendations, and best practices of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), as presented in the following table.

The global economic environment has deteriorated over the past few months. The optimism that accompanied the reopening of the Chinese economy after strict lockdowns has given way to concerns of an imminent recession triggered by high inflation and ongoing uncertainty in the geopolitical landscape. Despite difficult times expected in several European economies in the months ahead, we still believe the global economy can sidestep a worst-case scenario, so long as inflation can slow relatively quickly given the recent declines in the cost of several raw materials. This should help tame activity by central banks, for whom inflation has become enemy number one. Our growth forecast for global GDP is close to 2.5%(1) for 2022 and 2.7%(1) for 2023.
In the United States, the economic outlook has not escaped the prevailing pessimism, judging by the sudden inversion of the yield curve and deteriorating consumer expectations. The latest economic data has, for the most part, fallen short of expectations. GDP even contracted for a second straight quarter in the second quarter of 2022, which has prompted discussion as to whether the U.S. economy is already in a recession. However, these decreases were largely caused by major inventory adjustments carried out by companies that are still dealing with supply chain uncertainty rather than by a slowdown in domestic demand or a sharp decline in the labour market. Unlike previous GDP contraction cycles, employment continues to grow at a steady pace, with over 500,000 jobs added in July 2022. While the U.S. economy should return to growth in the second half, our real GDP growth forecasts are 1.6%(1) for 2022 and 1.7%(1) for 2023.
The latest economic data has convinced the Bank of Canada to accelerate interest rate normalization. Inflationary pressures have worsened, and the central bank's business and consumer surveys have revealed that inflation expectations are trending upward, an undesirable trend that it fears will not diminish. After the 100 basis-point interest rate hike announced last July, the Bank of Canada believes it still has work to do, and that is making observers nervous about the upcoming economic cycle. We do not believe the Canadian economy is about to get weak in the knees. As we were expecting, it has demonstrated greater resilience than other economies since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Consumers still have excess savings, helping them to absorb the higher cost of living, and the labour market sits comfortably at full employment, translating into solid wage growth. Despite a recent decline in the price of certain raw materials, the natural resources sector remains a strong pillar of the Canadian economy, helping it to partially offset the sharp drop in real estate activity. As for governments, which are seeing spectacular upturns in public finances, budgetary support will prove greater than anticipated in 2022. As monetary policy becomes restrictive, we are still expecting a significant slowdown in the economy that should translate into below-potential growth over the next 12 months. Our real GDP growth forecasts are 3.5%(1)for 2022 and 1.5%(1) for 2023.
Quebec's GDP stands at 3.3%, which is above its pre-pandemic level, for a recovery that is stronger than for Canada as a whole (+2.2%). The Quebec labour market remains tight, posting an unemployment rate around 4%, which is close to its historical low. We remain optimistic about growth in 2022 given the diversified economy, the fiscal leeway available to the Quebec government, and lower household debt than elsewhere in the country. After growth of 5.6% in 2021, the Quebec economy should slow to 3.6%(1) in 2022, with growth of 1.3%(1) expected for 2023.

For the third quarter of 2022, the Bank reported net income of \$826 million, down 2% from \$839 million in the third quarter of 2021. Third-quarter diluted earnings per share stood at \$2.35 compared to \$2.36 in the third quarter of 2021. Solid performance in all of the business segments was partly offset by higher provisions for credit losses recorded to reflect a less favourable macroeconomic outlook in the third quarter of 2022, whereas, in the third quarter of 2021, reversals of allowances for credit losses had been recorded to reflect a more favourable macroeconomic outlook. Income before provisions for credit losses and income taxes totalled \$1,107 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to \$1,038 million in the third quarter of 2021, a 7% increase arising from total revenue growth in all of the business segments.
For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the Bank's net income totalled \$2,651 million, up 10% from \$2,401 million in the same period of 2021, while nine-month diluted earnings per share stood at \$7.55 compared to \$6.77 in the first nine months of 2021. Excellent performance in all of the business segments, driven by revenue growth, contributed to these increases in nine-month net income and diluted earnings per share, even though there were higher provisions for credit losses. Also for the nine-month period, income before provisions for credit losses and income taxes totalled \$3,442 million, a 10% yearover-year increase driven by the revenue growth in all of the business segments.
Return on common shareholders' equity was 20.0% for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022 compared to 21.5% in the same period of 2021.
For the third quarter of 2022, the Bank's total revenues amounted to \$2,413 million, rising \$159 million or 7% year over year. In the Personal and Commercial segment, third-quarter total revenues rose 13% year over year owing to loan and deposit growth, to a higher net interest margin resulting from recent interest rate hikes, and to increases in credit card revenues, insurance revenues, revenues from bankers' acceptances, and revenues from foreign exchange activities. In the Wealth Management segment, third-quarter total revenues grew 8% year over year, mainly due to higher net interest income resulting from higher interest rates as well as to an increase in fee-based revenues, notably revenues from investment management and trust service fees. However, securities brokerage commissions decreased year over year given fewer commission-generating transactions. In the Financial Markets segment, third-quarter total revenues on a taxable equivalent basis increased by 14% year over year due to an increase in global markets revenues, partly offset by lower corporate and investment banking revenues. In the USSF&I segment, third-quarter total revenues were up 10% year over year owing to a sustained increase in ABA Bank's revenues as a result of business growth, partly offset by a decrease in Credigy's revenues, notably due to stronger performance by certain loan portfolios during the third quarter of 2021. For the Other heading of segment results, third-quarter total revenues reflect a lower contribution from treasury activities compared to the third quarter of 2021.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, the Bank's total revenues amounted to \$7,318 million, up \$602 million or 9% from \$6,716 million in the same period of 2021. In the Personal and Commercial segment, nine-month total revenues rose \$278 million or 10% year over year owing to an increase in net interest income, as both loans and deposits grew (partly offset by a lower net interest margin), as well as to increases in credit card revenues, insurance revenues, internal commission revenues related to the distribution of Wealth Management products, revenues from bankers' acceptances, revenues from derivative financial instruments, and revenues from foreign exchange activities. In the Wealth Management segment, nine-month total revenues grew 10% year over year, mainly due to higher net interest income as well as to an increase in fee-based revenues given growth in average assets under administration and assets under management and given greater market performance compared to the same nine-month period last year. In the Financial Markets segment, nine-month total revenues on a taxable equivalent basis were up \$183 million or 11% year over year given growth in global markets revenues, partly offset by a decrease in corporate and investment banking revenues. In the USSF&I segment, nine-month total revenues rose 11% year over year owing to revenue growth at ABA Bank, which was driven by higher loans and deposits, partly offset by a decrease in Credigy's revenues, notably due to a gain that had been realized in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 upon a disposal of loan portfolios and to a more favourable impact of remeasuring certain loan portfolios during the first nine months of 2021. For the Other heading of segment results, nine-month total revenues were down year over year due to a lower contribution from treasury activities, partly offset by higher gains on investments.
For the third quarter of 2022, non-interest expenses stood at \$1,306 million, a 7% year-over-year increase that was essentially attributable to higher compensation, notably from wage growth and a greater number of employees as well as from the variable compensation associated with revenue growth. In addition, technology expenses, including amortization, increased as a result of significant investments made to support the Bank's technological evolution. Third-quarter other expenses were up as travel and business development costs increased, notably due to a resumption of activities with clients and to higher advertising expenses.
For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the Bank's non-interest expenses stood at \$3,876 million, an 8% year-over-year increase that was attributable to higher compensation and employee benefits, notably from wage growth and a greater number of employees as well as from the variable compensation associated with revenue growth. Nine-month technology expenses and professional fees were also up year over year, as significant investments were made to support the Bank's technological evolution and business development plan. In addition, travel and business development costs grew as activities with clients gradually resumed. These increases were tempered by decreases in certain expenses, notably a \$20 million reversal of the provision for the compensatory tax on salaries paid in Quebec during the first quarter of 2022 as well as a decrease in COVID-19 response expenses, which were higher during the same period of 2021.
For the third quarter of 2022, the Bank recorded \$57 million in provisions for credit losses compared to \$43 million in recoveries of credit losses in the third quarter of 2021. This increase stems mainly from higher provisions for credit losses on non-impaired loans attributable to less favourable macroeconomic conditions in the third quarter of 2022, notably including greater inflationary pressures, as well as from newly granted loans. In the third quarter of 2021, the Bank had recorded reversals of provisions for credit losses on non-impaired loans given an improved macroeconomic outlook at that time. Third-quarter provisions for credit losses on impaired purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) loans of the Credigy subsidiary were also up given a favourable remeasurement of certain portfolios in the third quarter of 2021. Provisions for credit losses on impaired loans were down \$17 million compared to the third quarter of 2021, as a recovery on impaired loans from a borrower in the "Oil and gas" sector recorded in the Financial Markets segment in the third quarter of 2022 more than offset higher year-over-year provisions for credit losses on impaired loans recorded in Personal Banking (including credit card receivables), in Commercial Banking, and at ABA Bank.
For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the Bank recorded \$58 million in provisions for credit losses compared to \$43 million in the same nine-month period last year. The increase stems mainly from lower year-over-year reversals of allowances for credit losses on non-impaired loans. Over the first nine months of 2022, the macroeconomic outlook has weakened, notably due to high inflationary pressure, geopolitical instability, and global supply chain disruptions compared to the more favourable macroeconomic outlook that was prevailing during the same nine-month period in 2021. Nine-month provisions for credit losses on Credigy's POCI loans were also up given a favourable remeasurement of certain portfolios in the third quarter of 2021. Furthermore, the nine-month provisions for credit losses on impaired loans posted a year-over-year decrease that stems from Commercial Banking and the Financial Markets segment, partly offset by higher provisions for credit losses on impaired ABA Bank loans resulting from the end of relief measures granted to the subsidiary's clients.
For the third quarter of 2022, income taxes stood at \$224 million compared to \$242 million in the same quarter of 2021. The 2022 third-quarter effective tax rate was 21% compared to 22% in the same quarter of 2021. The change in effective income tax rate stems mainly from a higher level of tax-exempt dividend income compared to the same quarter of 2021.
For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the effective tax rate was 22%, unchanged from the first nine months of 2021.
The Bank carries out its activities in four business segments: Personal and Commercial, Wealth Management, Financial Markets, and U.S. Specialty Finance and International. Other operating activities, certain specified items, Treasury activities, and the activities of the Flinks Technology Inc. (Flinks) subsidiary are grouped in the Otherheading. Each reportable segment is distinguished by services offered, type of clientele, and marketing strategy.

In the Personal and Commercial segment, net income totalled \$335 million compared to \$303 million in the third quarter of 2021, an 11% increase resulting from growth in total revenues, partly offset by higher provisions for credit losses. The segment's third-quarter income before provisions for credit losses and income taxes grew 18% year over year. Third-quarter net interest income rose 15% year over year owing to growth in personal and commercial loans and deposits as well as to a higher net interest margin, which, as a result of recent interest rate hikes, was 2.17% in third-quarter 2022 compared to 2.09% in third-quarter 2021. As for the segment's third-quarter non-interest income, it grew \$27 million or 10% year over year.
Personal Banking's third-quarter total revenues increased by \$40 million year over year. This increase came from an increase in net interest income driven by loan and deposit growth, from an improved net interest margin on deposits, from an increase in credit card revenues given a notable increase in purchasing volume, and from insurance revenues (reflecting a revision to actuarial reserves). Commercial Banking's third-quarter total revenues grew \$81 million year over year, mainly due to an increase in net interest income, driven by loan and deposit growth, to an improved net interest margin on deposits, as well as to increases in revenues from foreign exchange activities and from bankers' acceptances.
For the third quarter of 2022, the Personal and Commercial segment's non-interest expenses stood at \$538 million, a 9% year-over-year increase that was mainly due to compensation and employee benefits (given wage growth and a greater number of employees), to operations support charges, and to investments made as part of the segment's technological evolution. At 51.6%, the segment's third-quarter efficiency ratio improved by 1.9 percentage points year over year as a result of strong revenue growth. The segment recorded \$49 million in provisions for credit losses in the third quarter of 2022 compared to \$17 million in the same quarter of 2021. This increase came from higher provisions for credit losses on impaired loans and on impaired credit card receivables and from higher provisions for credit losses on non-impaired Personal Banking loans (including credit card receivables) recorded to reflect a less favourable macroeconomic outlook, whereas, in the third quarter of 2021, a more favourable macroeconomic outlook had led to reversals of allowances for credit losses on non-impaired loans.
For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the Personal and Commercial segment's net income totalled \$965 million compared to \$858 million in the same period of 2021, a year-over-year increase driven mainly by 10% growth in the segment's nine-month total revenues. The segment's nine-month income before provisions for credit losses and income taxes totalled \$1,368 million, up 13% year over year. Personal Banking's nine-month total revenues were up, mainly due to growth in loans and deposits (partly offset by a lower net interest margin) as well as to increases in credit card revenues, insurance revenues (reflecting a revision to actuarial reserves), and internal commission revenues related to the distribution of Wealth Management products. Commercial Banking's nine-month total revenues grew 17% due to loan and deposit growth as well as to increases in revenues from bankers' acceptances, revenues from derivative financial instruments, and revenues from foreign exchange activities.
For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the Personal and Commercial segment's non-interest expenses stood at \$1,595 million, an 8% year-over-year increase that was mainly due to higher compensation and employee benefits, higher operations support charges, and expenses incurred for the segment's technological evolution. At 53.8%, the nine-month efficiency ratio improved by 1.1 percentage points from the same period in 2021. The segment's ninemonth provisions for credit losses stood at \$55 million compared to \$45 million in the same period of 2021. This increase came mainly from higher provisions for credit losses on non-impaired Personal Banking loans (including credit card receivable) recorded to reflect less favourable macroeconomic conditions, whereas, in the first nine months of 2021, a more favourable macroeconomic environment had led to higher reversals of allowances for credit losses on nonimpaired loans. These increases were partly offset by lower provisions for credit losses on impaired Commercial Banking loans as well as by higher reversals of allowances for credit losses on non-impaired Commercial Banking loans resulting from more favourable risk parameters during the nine months ended July 31, 2022.

In the Wealth Management segment, net income totalled \$181 million in the third quarter of 2022, a 10% increase from \$164 million in the same quarter of 2021. The segment's third-quarter total revenues amounted to \$591 million, up \$45 million or 8% from \$546 million in the third quarter of 2021. This revenue growth was mainly driven by a \$49 million or 44% increase in net interest income owing to higher interest rates and to growth in loan and deposit volumes in the third quarter of 2022. Third-quarter fee-based revenues rose 3% year over year due to growth in average assets under management as a result of net inflows into various solutions compared to the third quarter of 2021. As for third-quarter transaction-based and other revenues, they were down 15% year over year given lower commissions on transactions in third-quarter 2022 attributable to a less favourable market.
For the third quarter of 2022, Wealth Management's non-interest expenses stood at \$344 million, a \$21 million or 7% year-over-year increase that stems from higher compensation and employee benefits, notably the variable compensation associated with the segment's revenue growth, as well as from higher operations support charges. At 58.2%, the segment's third-quarter efficiency ratio improved by 1.0 percentage point from 59.2% in the third quarter of 2021. The segment recorded \$1 million in provisions for credit losses in the third quarter of 2022, whereas negligible provisions for credit losses had been recorded for the third quarter of 2021.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, the Wealth Management segment's net income totalled \$526 million, up 8% from \$486 million in the same nine-month period of 2021. The segment's nine-month total revenues amounted to \$1,762 million, up 10% from \$1,605 million in the same period of 2021. Nine-month net interest income grew \$75 million or 23% year over year owing to higher interest rates, to growth in loan and deposit volumes, and to the deposit margin. Nine-month fee-based revenues rose 12% year over year due to growth in average assets under administration and under management as a result of net inflows into various solutions and to stronger stock market performance compared to the same period in 2021. As for nine-month transaction-based and other revenues, they decreased 12% year over year as a result of lower commission-generating trading volume during the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The segment's nine-month non-interest expenses stood at \$1,045 million compared to \$944 million in the first nine months of 2021. This increase was due to higher compensation and employee benefits, notably the variable compensation associated with revenue growth, and to an increase in external management fees and operations support charges related to business growth and the segment's initiatives. At 59.3%, the nine-month efficiency ratio compares to 58.8% in the same period of 2021. For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the segment recorded \$1 million in provisions for credit losses compared to a negligible amount recorded in the same period of 2021.

(1) The Total revenues and Income taxes items of the Financial Markets segment are presented on a taxable equivalent basis. Taxable equivalent basis is a calculation method that consists in grossing up certain tax-exempt income by the amount of income tax that would have been otherwise payable. For the quarter ended July 31, 2022, Total revenues were grossed up by \$70 million (\$46 million in 2021) and an equivalent amount was recognized in Income taxes. For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, Total revenues were grossed up by \$183 million (\$143 million in 2021) and an equivalent amount was recognized in Income taxes. The effect of these adjustments is reversed under the Otherheading.
(2) For the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2021, certain amounts have been reclassified, in particular amounts of the loan portfolio of borrowers in the ʺOil and gasʺ and ʺPipelinesʺ sectors as well as related activities, which were transferred from the Personal and Commercial segment to the Financial Markets segment.

In the Financial Markets segment, net income totalled \$280 million in the third quarter of 2022, up 12% from \$249 million in the third quarter of 2021. The segment's third-quarter total revenues amounted to \$611 million, up \$74 million or 14% from \$537 million in the third quarter of 2021. The third-quarter global markets revenues rose 32% year over year given growth in all revenue types. Third-quarter corporate and investment banking revenues fell 6% year over year given a decrease in revenues from capital markets activity, tempered by higher revenues from merger and acquisition activity and by an increase in banking service revenues driven by growth in loan and deposit volumes.
For the third quarter of 2022, non-interest expenses stood at \$253 million, a 13% year-over-year increase that was due to higher compensation and employee benefits, notably the variable compensation associated with the segment's revenue growth, as well as to higher technology investment expenses and higher operations support charges. At 41.4%, the segment's third-quarter efficiency ratio improved by 0.3 percentage points from 41.7% in the third quarter of 2021. For the quarter ended July 31, 2022, the segment recorded \$23 million in recoveries of credit losses, mainly due to a recovery on impaired loans from a borrower in the "Oil and gas" sector. In the third quarter of 2021, recoveries of credit losses of \$25 million had been recorded, owing essentially to reversals of allowances for credit losses on non-impaired loans recorded to reflect a more favourable macroeconomic outlook during that period.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, the Financial Markets segment's net income totalled \$876 million, a 16% year-over-year increase driven by revenue growth combined with lower provisions for credit losses. The segment's nine-month income before provisions for credit losses and income taxes totalled \$1,137 million, up 10% year over year. Nine-month total revenues amounted to \$1,905 million, up \$183 million or 11% from \$1,722 million in the same period of 2021. Nine-month global markets revenues rose 33% due to higher revenues from equities and from commodities and foreign exchange activities, as market conditions favoured greater client activity. As for nine-month corporate and investment banking revenues, they were down 14% year over year given decreases in revenues related to capital markets activity and in revenues related to merger and acquisition activity.
The segment's nine-month non-interest expenses increased 12% year over year. This increase was attributable to higher compensation and employee benefits, in particular the variable compensation associated with revenue growth, as well as to increases in technology investments and in operations support charges. At 40.3%, the nine-month efficiency ratio compares to 39.7% in the same period of 2021. The segment recorded \$55 million in recoveries of credit losses during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022 compared to \$16 million in provisions for credit losses in the same period of 2021. This decrease came mainly from a \$102 million year-over-year decrease in provisions for credit losses on impaired loans, partly offset by higher provisions for credit losses on non-impaired loans in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 arising from a less favourable macroeconomic outlook than in the same nine-month period of 2021.

In the USSF&I segment, net income totalled \$125 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to \$161 million in the same quarter of 2021, a 22% year-overyear decrease attributable to a decrease in the Credigy subsidiary's total revenues combined with its higher provisions for credit losses. The segment's thirdquarter total revenues amounted to \$273 million, up \$25 million or 10% from \$248 million in the third quarter of 2021. This growth in total revenues was driven by a \$37 million increase in ABA Bank's revenues, whereas Credigy's third-quarter revenues declined \$11 million year over year. For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, the segment generated net income of \$425 million, stable compared to \$426 million in the same period of 2021.
For the third quarter of 2022, the Credigy subsidiary's net income totalled \$44 million, a \$55 million or 56% year-over-year decrease that was essentially due to lower total revenues and higher provisions for credit losses, whereas reversals of allowances for credit losses on non-impaired loans and on POCI loans had been recorded in the third quarter of 2021. The subsidiary's third-quarter income before provisions for credit losses and income taxes amounted to \$74 million, an 8% year-over-year decrease attributable to the lower revenues, which totalled \$105 million in third-quarter 2022 versus \$116 million in thirdquarter 2021, as certain portfolios had delivered stronger perfomance in the third quarter of 2021. Third-quarter non-interest expenses stood at \$31 million, a \$5 million year-over-year decrease that was essentially due to lower variable compensation associated with the lower revenues experienced in the third quarter of 2022. Third-quarter provisions for credit losses were \$64 million higher than those of third-quarter 2021, mainly because, in the third quarter of 2021, reversals of allowances for credit losses on non-impaired loans had been recorded to reflect improved macroeconomic conditions and also due to a favourable remeasurement of POCI loan portfolios in the third quarter of 2021.
For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the Credigy subsidiary's net income totalled \$170 million, a \$77 million year-over-year decrease that was notably due to a significant increase in provisions for credit losses. The subsidiary's nine-month income before provisions for credit losses and income taxes totalled \$252 million, down 9%. Its nine-month total revenues amounted to \$351 million, down from \$386 million in the same period of 2021. While there was growth in net interest income, it was more than offset by a decrease in non-interest income, as a \$26 million gain had been realized in the first quarter of 2021 upon a disposal of loan portfolios and given a favourable impact of remeasuring the fair value of certain portfolios in the same period of 2021. Nine-month non-interest expenses were down \$10 million due to a decrease in variable compensation. Provisions for credit losses rose \$78 million year over year, whereas in the first nine months of 2021, higher reversals of allowances for credit losses on non-impaired loans had been recorded to reflect more favourable macroeconomic conditions at that time and more favourable remeasurements of POCI loan portfolios were also carried out in 2021.
For the third quarter of 2022, the ABA Bank subsidiary's net income totalled \$81 million, up \$19 million or 31% from the third quarter of 2021. The subsidiary's third-quarter total revenues grew 28% year over year owing to sustained loan growth, partly offset by lower interest rates on loans given a competitive environment in Cambodia. Third-quarter non-interest expenses stood at \$55 million, a \$13 million year-over-year increase that was attributable to higher variable compensation associated with revenue growth, higher compensation and employee benefits given growth in ABA Bank's business activity, and higher occupancy expenses. ABA Bank recorded \$10 million in provisions for credit losses in the third quarter of 2022, stable compared to the third quarter of 2021.
For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, ABA Bank's net income totalled \$254 million, up 42% from the same nine-month period of 2021. The subsidiary's nine-month total revenues grew 32% year over year, mainly driven by the subsidiary's business growth, notably its sustained loan and deposit growth, partly offset by lower interest rates on loans. Nine-month non-interest expenses stood at \$154 million, a 20% year-over-year increase that was due to the same reasons provided above for the third quarter. ABA Bank recorded \$19 million in provisions for credit losses for the first nine months of 2022, a \$4 million year-over-year decrease that stems from lower provisions for credit losses on non-impaired loans.

(1) For the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2021, certain amounts have been reclassified.
(2) For the quarter ended July 31, 2022, Net interest income was reduced by \$60 million (\$46 million in 2021), Non-interest income was reduced by \$11 million (\$1 million in 2021), and an equivalent amount was recorded in Income taxes. For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, Net interest income was reduced by \$169 million (\$142 million in 2021), Non-interest income was reduced by \$18 million (\$6 million in 2021), and an equivalent amount was recorded in Income taxes. These adjustments include a reversal of the taxable equivalent of the Financial Markets segment and the Other heading. Taxable equivalent basis is a calculation method that consists in grossing up certain tax-exempt income by the amount of income tax that would have otherwise been payable.
(3) Represents an average of the daily balances for the period.
For the Other heading of segment results, there was a net loss of \$95 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to a net loss of \$38 million in the same quarter of 2021. This change in net loss stems essentially from a decrease in total revenues arising from a lower contribution from treasury activities, notably higher gains on investments in the third quarter of 2021 due to more favourable market conditions. This decrease was tempered, however, by a reduction in non-interest expenses, mainly due to the pension plan expense.
For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, net loss stood at \$141 million compared to a net loss of \$121 million in the same period of 2021. This change in net loss stems from a decrease in total revenues arising from a lower contribution from treasury activities. This decrease was partly offset by a reduction in non-interest expenses, notably variable compensation, the pension plan expense, and a \$20 million reversal of the provision for the compensatory tax on salaries paid in Quebec.

As at July 31, 2022, the Bank had total assets of \$387.1 billion, rising \$31.3 billion or 9% from \$355.8 billion as at October 31, 2021. Cash and deposits with financial institutions, totalling \$38.0 billion as at July 31, 2022, increased by \$4.1 billion, mainly due to deposits with the U.S. Federal Reserve. Cash and deposits with financial institutions remained high given the liquidity obtained from the financing initiatives deployed by the Canadian government in 2020, through the Bank of Canada, to support the Canadian financial system in response to COVID-19.
As at July 31, 2022, securities totalled \$106.2 billion, decreasing \$0.1 billion since October 31, 2021. Securities at fair value through profit or loss decreased by \$1.1 billion or 1%, essentially due to a decrease in equity securities, tempered by increases in securities issued or guaranteed by the Canadian government, by Canadian municipal and provincial governments, and by U.S. Treasury, other U.S. agencies and other foreign governments. Securities other than those measured at fair value through profit or loss rose \$1.0 billion, essentially due to an increase in securities at amortized cost. Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowed increased by \$9.3 billion, relating mainly to the activities of the Financial Markets segment.
Totalling \$200.9 billion as at July 31, 2022, loans and acceptances, net of allowances for credit losses, rose \$18.2 billion or 10% since October 31, 2021. The following table provides a breakdown of the main loan and acceptance portfolios.

| Loans and acceptances | |||
| Residential mortgage and home equity lines of credit | 107,105 | 99,146 | 97,056 |

| 200,924 | 182,689 | 178,946 |
Since October 31, 2021, residential mortgages (including home equity lines of credit) rose \$8.0 billion or 8% given sustained demand for mortgage credit in the Personal and Commercial segment and at the ABA Bank subsidiary, personal loans grew owing to the business activities of Personal Banking and ABA Bank, and credit card receivables also increased, as the consumer spending habits of clients gradually resumed and resulted in notable purchasing growth in the third quarter of 2022. Also since October 31, 2021, loans and acceptances to business and government rose \$8.8 billion or 13%, mainly due to business growth at Commercial Banking and in corporate financial services.
When compared to July 31, 2021, loans and acceptances, net of allowances for credit losses, grew \$22.0 billion or 12%, residential mortgages (including home equity lines of credit) were up \$10.0 billion or 10% due to sustained demand for mortgage credit and to business growth at ABA Bank, and personal loans rose \$1.8 billion due to the business activities of Personal Banking and ABA Bank. Also since July 31, 2021, credit card receivables grew \$0.3 billion as consumer spending resumed, and loans and acceptances to business and government rose \$9.8 billion or 15%, owing essentially to the activities of Commercial Banking and corporate financial services.
Impaired loans include loans classified in Stage 3 of the expected credit loss model and the purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) loans of the Credigy subsidiary. As at July 31, 2022, gross impaired loans stood at \$951 million compared to \$1,126 million as at October 31, 2021. Net impaired loans stood at \$712 million as at July 31, 2022 compared to \$836 million as at October 31, 2021, a \$124 million decrease related essentially to POCI loans, which were \$411 million as at July 31, 2022 versus \$553 million as at October 31, 2021, due to maturities and repayments of certain portfolios. However, net impaired loans excluding POCI loans were up due to ABA Bank's loan portfolios given the end of relief measures granted to the subsidiary's clients, partly offset by a decrease in the net impaired loans of the Personal and Commercial Banking, Wealth Management, Financial Markets, and Credigy loan portfolios.
As at July 31, 2022, other assets totalled \$25.1 billion, a \$0.3 billion decrease since October 31, 2021 that was mainly due to a decrease in derivative financial instruments, which were down \$2.5 billion. This decrease was partly offset by increases in certain other assets, notably receivables, prepaid expenses and other items as well as amounts due from clients, dealers and brokers.
As at July 31, 2022, the Bank had total liabilities of \$366.0 billion compared to \$336.9 billion as at October 31, 2021.
The Bank's total deposit liability stood at \$257.2 billion as at July 31, 2022, rising \$16.3 billion or 7% from \$240.9 billion as at October 31, 2021. At \$74.8 billion as at July 31, 2022, personal deposits grew \$4.7 billion since October 31, 2021. This increase came mainly from business growth at Personal Banking, in the Wealth Management segment, and at ABA Bank.
Business and government deposits totalled \$178.3 billion as at July 31, 2022, rising \$10.4 billion since October 31, 2021. This increase came from treasury funding activities, including \$3.1 billion in deposits subject to bank recapitalization (bail-in) conversion regulations as well as business and government deposits from Commercial Banking activities. Deposits from deposit-taking institutions stood at \$4.1 billion as at July 31, 2022, rising \$1.1 billion since October 31, 2021 due to treasury funding activities.
Other liabilities, totalling \$107.3 billion as at July 31, 2022, increased \$12.1 billion since October 31, 2021, resulting essentially from a \$12.8 billion increase in obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities loaned and from a \$3.0 billion increase in obligations related to securities sold short, partly offset by a \$3.4 billion decrease in derivative financial instruments.
In addition, the increase in subordinated debt since October 31, 2021 stems from the issuance, on July 25, 2022, of medium-term notes for an amount of \$750 million.
As at July 31, 2022, equity attributable to the Bank's shareholders and holders of other equity instruments was \$21.1 billion, rising \$2.2 billion since October 31,2021. This increase was due to net income net of dividends, to issuances of common shares under the Stock Option Plan, to remeasurements of pension plans and other post-employment benefit plans, to the net fair value change attributable to the credit risk on financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, and to accumulated other comprehensive income, notably net unrealized foreign currency translation gains on investments in foreign operations. These increases were partly offset by repurchases of common shares for cancellation.
The recommendations made by the Financial Stability Board's Enhanced Disclosure Task Force (EDTF) seek to enhance the transparency and measurement of certain exposures, in particular structured entities, subprime and Alt-A exposures, collateralized debt obligations, residential and commercial mortgagebacked securities, and leveraged financing structures. The Bank does not market any specific mortgage financing program to subprime or Alt-A clients. The Bank does not have any significant direct position in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities that are not insured by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). Credit derivative positions are presented in the Supplementary Regulatory Capital and Pillar 3 Disclosure report, which is available on the Bank's website at nbc.ca.
Leveraged finance is commonly used to achieve a specific objective, for example, to make an acquisition, complete a buy-out, or repurchase shares. Leveraged finance risk exposure takes the form of both funded and unfunded commitments. As at July 31, 2022, total commitments for this type of loan stood at \$5,225 million (\$4,048 million as at October 31, 2021). Details about other exposures are provided in the table on structured entities in Note 27 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021.
The Bank's policies and procedures regarding related party transactions have not significantly changed since October 31, 2021. For additional information, see Note 28 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021.
In the normal course of business, the Bank is party to various financial arrangements that, under IFRS, are not required to be recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet or are recorded at amounts other than their notional or contractual values. These arrangements include, among others, transactions with structured entities, derivative financial instruments, issuances of guarantees, credit instruments, and financial assets received as collateral. A complete analysis of these types of arrangements, including their nature, business purpose, and importance, is provided on pages 57 and 58 of the 2021 Annual Report.
For additional information on guarantees, commitments, and structured entities, see Notes 26 and 27 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021. For additional information about financial assets transferred but not derecognized, see Note 6 to these consolidated financial statements.
On August 9, 2022, the Government of Canada released for public comment draft legislative proposals to implement tax measures applicable to certain entities of banking and life insurer groups, as presented in its budget of April 7, 2022. These measures include the Canada Recovery Dividend (a one-time, 15% tax on the fiscal 2021 and 2020 average taxable income) and a 1.5% increase in the statutory tax rate. Since these proposed tax measures were not substantively enacted at the reporting date, no amount has been recognized in the Bank's consolidated financial statements as at July 31, 2022.
Capital management has a dual role of ensuring a competitive return to the Bank's shareholders while maintaining a solid capital foundation that covers risks inherent to the Bank's business, supports its business segments, and protects its clients. The Bank's capital management policy defines guiding principles as well as the roles and responsibilities of its internal capital adequacy assessment process. This process aims to determine the capital that the Bank needs to pursue its business activities and accommodate unexpected losses arising from extremely adverse economic and operational conditions. For additional information on the capital management framework, see the Capital Management section on pages 59 to 68 of the Bank's 2021 Annual Report.
The Bank and all other major Canadian banks have to maintain minimum capital ratios established by OSFI: a CET1 capital ratio of at least 10.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 12.0%, and a Total capital ratio of at least 14.0%. For additional information on the ratio calculations, see page 60 of the 2021 Annual Report. All of these ratios include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% established by the BCBS and OSFI as well as a 1.0% surcharge applicable solely to Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) and a 2.5% domestic stability buffer established by OSFI. The domestic stability buffer, which can vary from 0% to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets, consists exclusively of CET1 capital. A D-SIB that fails to meet this buffer requirement will not be subject to automatic constraints to reduce capital distributions but will have to provide a remediation plan to OSFI. Banks also have to meet the capital floor that sets the regulatory capital level according to the Basel II standardized approach. If the capital requirement under Basel III is less than 70% of the capital requirement calculated under Basel II, the difference is added to risk-weighted assets. Lastly, OSFI requires Canadian banks to meet a Basel III leverage ratio of at least 3.0%. The leverage ratio is a measure independent of risk that is calculated by dividing the amount of Tier 1 capital by total exposure. Total exposure is defined as the sum of on-balance-sheet assets (including derivative exposures and securities financing transaction exposures) and off-balance-sheet items. The assets deducted from Tier 1 capital are also deducted from total exposure.
In addition to those measures, OSFI is requiring that regulatory capital instruments other than common equity have a non-viability contingent capital (NVCC) clause to ensure that investors bear losses before taxpayers should the government determine that it is in the public interest to rescue a non-viable financial institution. Instruments issued before January 1, 2013 that would be Basel-III-compliant if not for the absence of the NVCC clause were grandfathered and phased out over a ten-year period. As at July 31, 2022, the Bank has one remaining non-NVCC Tier 2 subordinated debt capital instrument, which has now been completely phased out of regulatory capital.
OSFI's Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) guideline, which applies to all D-SIBs under the federal government's bail-in regulations, is to ensure that a D-SIB has sufficient loss-absorbing capacity to support its recapitalization in the unlikely event it becomes non-viable. Available TLAC includes total capital as well as certain senior unsecured debts that satisfy all of the eligibility criteria of OSFI's TLAC guideline. Since November 1, 2021, OSFI has been requiring D-SIBs to maintain a risk-based TLAC ratio of at least 24.0% (including the domestic stability buffer) of risk-weighted assets and a TLAC leverage ratio of at least 6.75%. The TLAC ratio is calculated by dividing available TLAC by risk-weighted assets, and the TLAC leverage ratio is calculated by dividing available TLAC by total exposure. As at July 31, 2022, outstanding liabilities of \$15.0 billion (\$11.9 billion as at October 31, 2021) were subject to conversion regulations for bail-in purposes.

(1) The capital ratios and the TLAC ratio include the capital conservation buffer and the D-SIB surcharge.
(2) On June 22, 2022, OSFI confirmed that the domestic stability buffer was being maintained at 2.5%.
The Bank ensures that its capital levels are always above the minimum capital requirements set by OSFI, including the domestic stability buffer. By maintaining a strong capital structure, the Bank can cover the risks inherent to its business activities, support its business segments, and protect its clients.
Other disclosure requirements pursuant to Pillar 3 of the Basel Accord and a set of recommendations defined by the EDTF are presented in the Supplementary Regulatory Capital and Pillar 3 Disclosure report published quarterly and available on the Bank's website at nbc.ca. Also available on the Bank's website is a complete list of capital instruments and their main features.
The Bank closely monitors regulatory developments and participates actively in various consultative processes. On March 27, 2020, in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, OSFI announced a series of regulatory adjustments to support the financial and operational resilience of banks. For additional information, see the section entitled COVID-19 Pandemic – Key Measures Introduced by the Regulatory Authorities on page 17 of the 2021 Annual Report. For additional information about the regulatory context on October 31, 2021, see pages 62 and 63 of the Capital Management section in the 2021 Annual Report. In addition, since November 1, 2021, the below-described regulatory developments should also be considered.
On November 29, 2021, OSFI postponed the implementation of the final Basel III reforms to the second quarter of 2023. The implementation date of the revised market risk framework and the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risk framework remains the first quarter of 2024. OSFI also announced the details of its final policy positions on a series of key topics associated with guidelines that were the subject of extensive consultations in the spring of 2021.
On January 31, 2022, OSFI released its final capital and liquidity rules that incorporate the final Basel III reforms, and on February 7, 2022, OSFI published corresponding changes to the regulatory returns, i.e., the Basel Capital Adequacy Return (BCAR) and the Leverage Requirements Return(LRR).
On March 31, 2022, OSFI published, for consultation purposes, a draft guideline entitled Assurance on Capital, Leverage and Liquidity Returns. OSFI relies largely on the regulatory returns produced by financial institutions when assessing their safety and soundness. The purpose of this draft guideline is to better inform auditors and institutions on the work to be performed on regulatory returns in order to clarify and align OSFI's assurance expectations across all financial institutions. In particular, the draft guideline addresses the assurance that must be provided by an external audit, attestation by senior management, the assurance that must be provided by an internal audit, and the proposed effective dates. The Bank is actively participating in this consultation.
On June 30, 2022, the BCBS published its second public consultation on the prudential treatment of the cryptoasset risk exposures faced by banks. This consultation builds on preliminary proposals from the first consultation published in June 2021 and the responses received. The BCBS plans to finalize the standards by the end of 2022. The Bank is actively participating in this consultation. On August 18, 2022, OSFI released an advisory on interim arrangements for dealing with cryptoassets held by federally regulated financial institutions, which outlines its prudential expectations on cryptoasset holdings and sets exposure limits. OSFI also provided guidance on the regulatory capital and liquidity treatment of cryptoasset exposures. These interim arrangements will be effective in the second quarter of 2023.
On November 4, 2021, OSFI amended its capital distribution expectations, namely, by permitting financial institutions to increase regular dividends and, subject to OSFI approval, to buy back shares.
On November 30, 2021, the Bank's Board of Directors approved a normal course issuer bid, which began on December 10, 2021, to repurchase for cancellation up to 7,000,000 common shares (representing approximately 2% of its common shares outstanding) over a 12-month period ending no later than December 9, 2022. This normal course issuer bid was approved by OSFI and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on December 8, 2021. During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the Bank repurchased 2,500,000 common shares under this program for \$245 million, which reduced Common share capital by \$24 million and Retained earningsby \$221 million.
On July 25, 2022, the Bank issued medium-term notes for an amount of \$750 million, bearing interest at 5.426% and maturing on August 16, 2032. As these medium-term notes satisfy the NVCC requirements, they qualify for the purposes of calculating regulatory capital under Basel III.
On August 23, 2022, the Board of Directors declared regular dividends on the various series of first preferred shares and a dividend of 92 cents per common share, payable on November 1, 2022 to shareholders of record on September 26, 2022.

(1) Limited Recourse Capital Notes (LRCN).
As at August 19, 2022, there were 336,457,021 common shares and 11,991,490 stock options outstanding. NVCC provisions require the conversion of capital instruments into a variable number of common shares should OSFI deem a bank to be non-viable or should the government publicly announce that a bank has accepted or agreed to accept a capital injection. If an NVCC trigger event were to occur, all of the Bank's preferred shares, LRCNs, and medium-term notes maturing on February 1, 2028 and August 16, 2032, which are NVCC capital instruments, would be converted into common shares of the Bank according to an automatic conversion formula at a conversion price corresponding to the greater of the following amounts: (i) a \$5.00 contractual floor price; or (ii) the market price of the Bank's common shares on the date of the trigger event (10-day weighted average price). Based on a \$5.00 floor price and including an estimate for accrued dividends and interest, these NVCC capital instruments would be converted into a maximum of 990 million Bank common shares, which would have a 74.6% dilutive effect based on the number of Bank common shares outstanding as at July 31, 2022.

Risk-weighted assets (RWA) amounted to \$111.4 billion as at July 31, 2022 compared to \$104.4 billion as at October 31, 2021, a \$7.0 billion increase resulting mainly from organic growth in RWA and from foreign exchange movements, partly offset by improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio and of exposures to derivative financial instruments and by model updates. The changes in the Bank's RWA by risk type are presented in the following table.

(2) Also includes foreign exchange rate movements that are not considered material.
The table above provides risk-weighted asset movements by the key drivers underlying the different risk categories.
The Book size item reflects organic changes in book size and composition (including new loans and maturing loans). RWA movements attributable to book size include increases or decreases in exposures, measured by exposure at default, assuming a stable risk profile.
The Book quality item is the Bank's best estimate of changes in book quality related to experience, such as underlying customer behaviour or demographics, including changes resulting from model recalibrations or realignments and also including risk mitigation factors.
The Model updates item is used to reflect implementations of new models, changes in model scope, and any other change applied to address model malfunctions. During the quarter ended January 31, 2022, the Bank updated the model used for retail lines of credit. During the quarter ended April 30, 2022, the Bank transitioned a retail loan portfolio from the standardized approach to the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based (AIRB) approach for measuring credit risk. It also changed the SVaR period of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC) to the 2020 COVID-19 period at the start of the second quarter of 2022 and then returned to the 2008 GFC period towards the end of the quarter. During the quarter ended July 31, 2022, the Bank updated the model used for home equity line of credit.
The Methodology and policy item presents the impact of changes in calculation methods resulting from changes in regulatory policies as a result, for example, of new regulations.
As at July 31, 2022, the Bank's CET1, Tier 1, and Total capital ratios were, respectively, 12.8%, 15.2% and 16.8%, compared to ratios of, respectively, 12.4%, 15.0% and 15.9% as at October 31, 2021. All of the capital ratios have therefore increased since October 31, 2021, essentially due to net income net of dividends and common share issuances under the Stock Option Plan. These factors were partly offset by growth in RWA, common share repurchases, and the impact of the transitional measures applicable to ECL provisioning, of which the scaling factor decreased from 50% to 25%. The increase in the Total capital ratio was also due to the \$750 million issuance of medium-term notes on July 25, 2022. As at July 31, 2022, the leverage ratio was 4.4%, stable compared to October 31, 2021. The growth in Tier 1 capital was partly offset by growth in total exposure, which continues to benefit from the temporary measures provided by OSFI with respect to the exclusion of exposures from central bank reserves.
As at July 31, 2022, the Bank's TLAC ratio and TLAC leverage ratio were, respectively, 28.3% and 8.2%, compared with 26.3% and 7.8%, respectively, as at October 31, 2021. The increase in the TLAC ratio was due to the same factors as those provided for the Total capital ratio and the net TLAC instrument issuances during the period. The increase in the TLAC leverage ratio was due to the same factors as those provided for the leverage ratio and to the net TLAC instrument issuances.
During the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the Bank was in compliance with all of OSFI's regulatory capital, leverage, and TLAC requirements.

On July 3, 2013, the BCBS published Global Systemically Important Banks: Assessment Methodology and the Additional Loss Absorbency Requirement, which describes the annual assessment methodology and indicators used by the BCBS and the Financial Stability Board to evaluate global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). On July 5, 2018, the BCBS published a revised version that provides an update to the assessment methodology. The document also sets out the annual public disclosure requirements applicable to large globally active banks.
In September 2015, OSFI published an advisory entitled Global Systemically Important Banks – Public Disclosure Requirements addressing the implementation of G-SIB public disclosure requirements in Canada. On August 13, 2021, OSFI published a revised version of its advisory that incorporates the updated assessment methodology used to identify global systemically important banks published by the BCBS on July 5, 2018. The new disclosure requirements, which took effect as of first-quarter 2022, consist of a new trading volume indicator and the inclusion of insurance activities for certain existing indicators. Canadian banks, including the Bank, which have not been identified as G-SIBs and whose total exposure (as calculated using the Basel III leverage ratio) is greater than the equivalent of 200 billion euros at year-end, are required to publish the indicators annually. The indicators, updated annually, are calculated and presented based on specific instructions issued by the BCBS. As a result, values may not be directly comparable to other measures disclosed in this report. The following table provides the indicators used in BCBS's assessment methodology for evaluating G-SIBs.

Risk-taking is intrinsic to a financial institution's business. The Bank views risk as an integral part of its development and the diversification of its activities. It advocates a risk management approach consistent with its business strategy. The Bank voluntarily exposes itself to certain risk categories, particularly credit and market risk, in order to generate revenue. It assumes certain risks that are inherent to its activities—to which it does not choose to expose itself—and that do not generate revenue, i.e., mainly operational risks.
| The Bank is continuing to monitor the impacts and potential consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. From its onset, the pandemic has had disruptive and adverse effects in the countries where the Bank does business and, more broadly, on the global economy. COVID-19 has also shed light, and could continue to shed light, on several top and emerging risks to which the Bank is exposed. Despite the exceptional nature of this situation, the risks are being rigorously managed. For additional information, see the section entitled COVID-19 Pandemic – Impact of the COVID-19 Risk Factor on page 16 of the Annual Report 2021 |

| On February 24, 2022, the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. The war between both countries continues to evolve as military action unfolds and additional sanctions are imposed. The war is increasingly affecting global financial and economic markets and exacerbating current economic conditions, including such issues as rising inflation and a disrupted global supply chain. Given the conflict's broader impact on macroeconomic conditions, the Bank is closely monitoring the impacts and potential consequences on its financial position and that of its clients. The extent to which entities are or will be affected depends largely on the nature and duration of uncertain and unpredictable events, such as new military action, additional sanctions, and reactions to ongoing changes by global financial markets. |
Despite the exercise of stringent risk management and the mitigation measures in place, risk cannot be eliminated entirely, and residual risks may occasionally cause significant losses. Certain risks are discussed hereafter. For additional information, see the Risk Management section on pages 69 to 107 of the 2021 Annual Report.Risk management information is also provided in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements, which covers loans.
Credit risk is the risk of incurring a financial loss if an obligor does not fully honour its contractual commitments to the Bank. Obligors may be debtors, issuers, counterparties, or guarantors. Credit risk is the most significant risk facing the Bank in the normal course of business. Obligors have been affected by the economic environment resulting from COVID-19 and its impact on global and local economies. This exceptional situation has led to significant changes in the overall market environment, including business closures and temporary layoffs. However, certain government measures have been implemented to assist retail and business clients affected by COVID-19.
On December 17, 2021, OSFI confirmed the qualifying rate for uninsured mortgages (i.e., residential mortgages with a down payment of 20% or more) will remain as the greater of the mortgage contract interest rate plus 2% and a minimum floor of 5.25%. OSFI is well aware that the country's post-pandemic economic recovery must be backed by a strong financial system capable of supporting the Canadian population in the current environment and that real estate market conditions in Canada could heighten the financial risk weighing on lenders. The minimum qualifying interest rate provides an additional level of safety to ensure that borrowers would have the ability to make mortgage payments should circumstances change, e.g., in the case of reduced income or a rise in interest rates.
On June 28, 2022, OSFI published an Advisory entitled Clarification on the Treatment of Innovative Real Estate Secured Lending Products Under Guideline B-20. The Advisory complements the existing expectations set out in Guideline B-20 – Residential Mortgage Underwriting Practices and Procedures. The Advisory specifies OSFI's expectations concerning underwriting practices and procedures for reverse residential mortgages, residential mortgages with shared equity features, and combined loan plans (CLPs), notably for CLPs and the re-advanceability of credit above the 65% loan-to-value (LTV) limit. For loans that exceed the 65% LTV limit, there will be a transition period where a portion of the principal payments will go towards repaying the overall mortgage amount until it is below 65% of the original LTV ratio and not re-advanceable. The implementation date for this change is October 31, 2023.
The amounts shown in the following tables represent the Bank's maximum exposure to credit risk as at the financial reporting date, without taking into account any collateral held or any other credit enhancements. These amounts do not include allowances for credit losses nor amounts pledged as collateral. The table also excludes equity securities.

Market risk is the risk of losses arising from movements in market prices. The Bank is exposed to market risk through its participation in trading, investment, and asset/liability management activities. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global and local economies, the Bank faces a volatile environment. At its onset, the pandemic sent stock markets into sharp decline and rendered them more volatile, pushed interest rates downwards, triggered a rapid and sudden rise in unemployment, and prompted an economic slowdown. Governments, monetary authorities, and regulators intervened to support the economy and the financial system, notably by deploying fiscal and monetary measures designed to increase liquidity and support incomes. Although the global economy recovered during fiscal 2021, if the COVID-19 pandemic persists, in particular through subsequent waves, its impacts on the global economy could worsen, and the measures in place might not be sufficient over the long term to completely avoid recessionary conditions. Adding to this uncertainty is the Russian-Ukrainian war, which is increasingly affecting global financial and economic markets and exacerbating current economic conditions, including such issues as rising inflation, a disrupted global supply chain and higher interest rates.
The following tables provide a breakdown of the Bank's Consolidated Balance Sheet into assets and liabilities by those that carry market risk and those that do not carry market risk, distinguishing between trading positions whose main risk measures are Value-at-Risk (VaR) and stressed VaR (SVaR) and non-trading positions that use other risk measures.

(2) Amounts are presented on a pre-tax basis and represent one-day VaR and SVaR using a 99% confidence level.
(3) The total trading VaR is less than the sum of the individual risk factor VaR results due to the diversification effect.
Between the second quarter and the third quarter of 2022, the average total trading VaR increased from \$7.5 million to \$8.6 million, and the average total trading SVaR increased from \$12.7 million to \$18.5 million. These increases were mainly driven by higher market volatility and partly offset by an increase in the diversification effect.
The following table shows daily trading and underwriting revenues as well as VaR. During the quarter ended July 31, 2022, daily trading and underwriting revenues were positive 89% of the days. Four trading days were marked by daily trading and underwriting net losses of more than \$1 million. None of these losses exceeded the VaR.

Liquidity and funding risks are the risks that the Bank will be unable to honour daily cash and financial obligations without resorting to costly and untimely measures. Liquidity and funding risks arise when sources of funds become insufficient to meet scheduled payments under the Bank's commitments.
Liquidity risk stems from mismatched cash flows related to assets and liabilities as well as the characteristics of certain products such as credit commitments and non-fixed-term deposits.
Funding risk is defined as the risk to the Bank's ongoing ability to raise sufficient funds to finance actual or proposed business activities on an unsecured or secured basis at an acceptable price. The funding management priority is to achieve an optimal balance between deposits, securitization, secured funding, and unsecured funding, which brings optimal stability to the funding and reduces vulnerability to unpredictable events.
COVID-19 has affected overall economic and market conditions, but the Bank's sound management of the liquidity and funding risks is helping it to maintain an optimal balance between its sources of cash and anticipated payments.
The Bank continues to closely monitor regulatory developments and participates actively in various consultative processes. For additional information about the regulatory context as at October 31, 2021, refer to page 94 of the Risk Management section in the 2021 Annual Report as well as to the section entitled COVID-19 Pandemic – Key Measures Introduced by the Regulatory Authorities on pages 17 and 18 of the 2021 Annual Report. Since November 1, 2021, the below-described regulatory developments should also be considered.
On January 31, 2022, OSFI published a final version of the liquidity rules, which reflects the most recent Basel III reforms and, on February 16, 2022, OSFI published the corresponding changes to the regulatory return, i.e., the Net Cumulative Cash Flow (NCCF) return.
On March 31, 2022, OSFI published, for consultation purposes, a draft guideline entitled Assurance on Capital, Leverage and Liquidity Returns. OSFI relies largely on the regulatory returns produced by financial institutions when assessing their safety and soundness. The purpose of this draft guideline is to better inform auditors and institutions on the work to be performed on regulatory returns in order to clarify and align OSFI's assurance expectations across all financial institutions. In particular, the draft guideline addresses the assurance that must be provided by an external audit, attestation by senior management, the assurance that must be provided by an internal audit, and the proposed effective dates. The Bank is actively participating in this consultation.
To protect depositors and creditors from unexpected crisis situations, the Bank holds a portfolio of unencumbered liquid assets that can be readily liquidated to meet financial obligations. Most of the unencumbered liquid assets are held in Canadian or U.S. dollars. Moreover, all assets that can be quickly monetized are considered liquid assets. The Bank's liquidity reserves do not factor in the availability of the emergency liquidity facilities of central banks. The following tables provide information on the Bank's encumbered and unencumbered assets.

(2) In the normal course of its funding activities, the Bank pledges assets as collateral in accordance with standard terms. Encumbered assets include assets used to cover short sales, obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities loaned, guarantees related to security-backed loans and borrowings, collateral related to derivative financial instrument transactions, asset-backed securities, residential mortgage loans securitized and transferred under the Canada Mortgage Bond program, assets held in consolidated trusts supporting the Bank's funding activities, and mortgage loans transferred under the covered bond program.
(3) Other encumbered assets include assets for which there are restrictions and that cannot therefore be used for collateral or funding purposes as well as assets used to cover short sales. (4) Other unencumbered assets are assets that cannot be used for collateral or funding purposes in their current form. This category includes assets that are potentially eligible as funding program collateral (e.g., mortgages insured by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that can be securitized into mortgage-backed securities under the National Housing Act (Canada)).
The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was introduced primarily to ensure that banks could withstand periods of severe short-term stress. LCR is calculated by dividing the total amount of high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) by the total amount of net cash outflows. OSFI has been requiring Canadian banks to maintain a minimum LCR of 100%. An LCR above 100% ensures that banks are holding sufficient high-quality liquid assets to cover net cash outflows given a severe, 30-day liquidity crisis. The assumptions underlying the LCR scenario were established by the BCBS and OSFI's Liquidity Adequacy Requirementsguideline.
The following table provides average LCR data calculated using the daily figures in the quarter. For the quarter ended July 31, 2022, the Bank's average LCR was 148%, well above the 100% regulatory requirement and demonstrating the Bank's solid short-term liquidity position.

(2) OSFI prescribed a table format in order to standardize disclosure throughout the banking industry.
(3) Unweighted values are calculated as outstanding balances maturing or callable within 30 days (for inflows and outflows).
(4) Weighted values are calculated after the application of respective haircuts (for HQLA) or inflow and outflow rates.
(5) Total adjusted values are calculated after the application of both haircuts and inflow and outflow rates and any applicable caps.
(6) The data in this table is calculated using averages of the daily figures in the quarter.
As at July 31, 2022, Level 1 liquid assets represented 85% of the Bank's HQLA, which includes cash, central bank deposits, and bonds issued or guaranteed by the Canadian government and Canadian provincial governments.
Cash outflows arise from the application of OSFI-prescribed assumptions on deposits, debt, secured funding, commitments and additional collateral requirements. The cash outflows are partly offset by cash inflows, which come mainly from secured loans and performing loans. The Bank expects some quarter-over-quarter variation between reported LCRs without such variation being necessarily indicative of a trend. The variation between the quarter ended July 31, 2022 and the preceding quarter were a result of normal business operations. The Bank's liquid asset buffer is well in excess of its total net cash outflows.
The LCR assumptions differ from the assumptions used for the liquidity disclosures presented in the tables on the previous pages or those used for internal liquidity management rules. While the liquidity disclosure framework is prescribed by the EDTF, the Bank's internal liquidity metrics use assumptions that are calibrated according to its business model and experience.
The BCBS has developed the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) to promote a more resilient banking sector. The NSFR requires institutions to maintain a stable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and off-balance-sheet activities. A viable funding structure is intended to reduce the likelihood that disruptions to an institution's regular sources of funding will erode its liquidity position in a way that would increase the risk of its failure and potentially lead to broader systemic stress. The NSFR is calculated by dividing available stable funding by required stable funding. OSFI has been requiring Canadian banks to maintain a minimum NSFR of 100%.
The following table provides the available stable funding and required stable funding in accordance with OSFI's Liquidity Adequacy Requirements guideline. As at July 31, 2022, the Bank's NSFR was 119%, well above the 100% regulatory requirement and demonstrating the Bank's solid long-term liquidity position.

(2) OSFI prescribed a table format in order to standardize disclosure throughout the banking industry.
(3) Weighted values are calculated after application of the weightings set out in OSFI's Liquidity Adequacy Requirementsguideline.
(4) As per OSFI's specifications, liabilities arising from transactions involving the Canada Mortgage Bond program and their corresponding encumbered mortgages are given ASF and RSF weights of 0%, respectively.
(5) As per OSFI's specifications, there is no need to differentiate by maturities.
The NSFR represents the amount of ASF relative to the amount of RSF. ASF is defined as the portion of capital and liabilities expected to be reliable over the time horizon considered by the NSFR, which extends to one year. The amount of RSF of a specific institution is a function of the liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of the various assets held by that institution as well as those of its off-balance-sheet exposures. The amounts of available and required stable funding are calibrated to reflect the degree of stability of liabilities and liquidity of assets. The Bank expects some quarter-over-quarter variation between reported NSFRs without such variation being necessarily indicative of a long-term trend.
The NSFR assumptions differ from the assumptions used for the liquidity disclosures provided in the tables on the preceding pages or those used for internal liquidity management rules. While the liquidity disclosure framework is prescribed by the EDTF, the Bank's internal liquidity metrics use assumptions that are calibrated according to its business model and experience.
The Bank continuously monitors and analyzes the possibilities for accessing less expensive and more flexible funding. The deposit strategy remains a priority for the Bank, which continues to prefer deposits to institutional funding. On April 29, 2022, DBRS Limited (DBRS) raised the ratings of the Bank and its related entities, including the rating for long-term deposits and for long-term non-bail-inable senior debt to AA from AA(low), and it raised the rating for short-term senior debt to R-1(high) from R-1(mid). DBRS also changed the trends of all the ratings to "Stable" from "Positive." This change reflects DBRS's recognition of the Bank's solid performance in recent years, notably its expanded footprint into targeted markets and niches throughout Canada, in particular in the Wealth Management and Financial Markets segments, as well as the greater contribution by the Personal and Commercial segment to the Bank's net income.
The table below presents the residual contractual maturities of the Bank's wholesale funding. The information has been presented in accordance with the categories recommended by the EDTF for comparison purposes with other banks.

As part of a comprehensive liquidity management framework, the Bank regularly reviews its contracts that stipulate that additional collateral could be required in the event of a downgrade of the Bank's credit rating. The Bank's liquidity position management approach already incorporates additional collateral requirements in the event of a one-notch to three-notch downgrade in credit rating. The table below presents the additional collateral requirements in the event of a one-notch or three-notch credit rating downgrade.

The following tables present balance sheet items and off-balance-sheet commitments by residual contractual maturity as at July 31, 2022 with comparative figures as at October 31, 2021. The information gathered from this maturity analysis is a component of liquidity and funding management. However, this maturity profile does not represent how the Bank manages its interest rate risk or its liquidity risk and funding needs. The Bank considers factors other than contractual maturity when assessing liquid assets or determining expected future cash flows.
In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into various off-balance-sheet commitments. The credit instruments used to meet the financing needs of its clients represent the maximum amount of additional credit the Bank could be obligated to extend if the commitments were fully drawn.
The Bank also has future minimum commitments under leases for premises as well as under other contracts, mainly commitments to purchase loans and contracts for outsourced information technology services. Most of the lease commitments are related to operating leases.

The risks related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles and disclosure requirements continue to be priorities for regulatory and standardsetting bodies. With climate change at the forefront of ESG-related issues, new proposed regulations and disclosure standards were published recently to address climate-related and sustainability-related risks. Specifically, on October 18, 2021, the CSA issued the proposed National Instrument 51-107 – Disclosure of Climate-related Matters requiring reporting issuers in Canada to make certain climate-related disclosures. On March 31, 2022, the International Sustainability Standards Board issued two proposed standards on climate-related and sustainability-related disclosures. And on May 26, 2022, OSFI issued draft Guideline B-15: Climate Risk Management which outlines OSFI's risk management expectations for climate-related risks and disclosures. As these proposed regulations and standards have yet to be finalized, the Bank continues to closely monitor regulatory developments in this area.
For additional information on the management of ESG-related risks and regulatory developments, refer to the Environmental and Social Risk section on page 107 of the 2021 Annual Report.
One of the purposes of the 2021 Annual Report, the Report to Shareholders – Third Quarter 2022, and the related supplementary information documents is to provide transparent, high-quality risk disclosures in accordance with the recommendations made by the Financial Stability Board's EDTF group. The following table lists the references where users can find information that responds to the EDTF's 32 recommendations.

The Bank's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial statements also comply with section 308(4) of the Bank Act (Canada), which states that, except as otherwise specified by the OSFI, the consolidated financial statements are to be prepared in accordance with IFRS. IFRS represent Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). None of the OSFI accounting requirements are exceptions to IFRS. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2022 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting using the same accounting policies as those described in Note 1 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021.
In preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, management must exercise judgment and make estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting date carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, net income, and related information. Some accounting policies are considered critical given their importance to the presentation of the Bank's financial position and operating results and require difficult, subjective, and complex judgments and estimates on matters that are inherently uncertain. Any change in these judgments and estimates could have a significant impact on the Bank's consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting estimates are the same as those described on pages 108 to 113 of the 2021 Annual Report.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, developing reliable estimates and applying judgment continue to be substantially complex. Some of the Bank's accounting policies, such as the measurement of expected credit losses (ECLs), require particularly complex judgment and estimates. See Note 1 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021 for a summary of the most significant estimation processes used to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and for the valuation techniques used to determine the carrying values and fair values of assets and liabilities. The uncertainty regarding certain key inputs used in measuring ECLs is described in Note 5 to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The interest rate benchmark reform is a global initiative that is being coordinated and led by central banks and governments around the world, including those in Canada. In August 2020, the IASB finalized its response to the ongoing reform of interbank offered rates (IBOR) and other interest rate benchmarks by issuing amendments to its new and former financial instrument standards, IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (IFRS 9) and IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39) as well as to related standard IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures (IFRS 7), to IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts (IFRS 4), and to IFRS 16 – Leases (IFRS 16). These amendments address how financial statements will be affected once current interest rate benchmarks are replaced with alternative interest rate benchmarks and notably cover amendments to contractual cash flows, hedge accounting, and disclosures. On November 1, 2020, the Bank early adopted the amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4, and IFRS 16. For additional information, see Note 17 and the Accounting Policy Changes section in Note 1 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021.
The Bank has transitioned its LIBOR-related (London Interbank Offered Rates) contracts that involve pound sterling (GBP), the euro (EUR), the Japanese yen (JPY), and the Swiss franc (CHF), for which the cessation or loss of representativeness was December 31, 2021. As for USD LIBOR, the Bank included rate replacement clauses in contracts negotiated during 2021 and, since January 1, 2022, the Bank has no longer been using USD LIBOR in new contracts except in circumstances compliant with regulatory guidance.
The Bank is continuing to monitor all of the developments of this initiative, as it is exposed to several risks, including interest rate risk and operational risk, which arise from non-derivative financial assets, non-derivative financial liabilities, and derivative financial instruments. The project team ensures that risks are mitigated while ensuring a positive experience for its clients. The Bank is taking all necessary steps to identify, measure, and control all risks to ensure a smooth transition to the interest rate benchmark reform. As at July 31, 2022, the project was progressing according to schedule.
On December 16, 2021, the Bank of Canada announced that a white paper published by the Canadian Alternative Reference Rate (CARR) Working Group was recommending that CDOR (Canadian Dollar Offered Rate) be declared unrepresentative by its administrator, namely, Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited (Refinitiv) and also that CDOR cease to exist as of June 30, 2024 (including a recommendation to cease using CDOR on the derivative financial instrument market as of June 30, 2023).
On January 31, 2022, Refinitiv launched a public consultation on the future of CDOR. The consultation ended on March 2, 2022, after which Refinitiv published an update to the consultation on April 14, 2022. On May 16, 2022, Refinitiv published the consultation conclusions and announced that the publication of CDOR would cease as of June 28, 2024.
Following this announcement, the CARR Working Group welcomed Refinitiv's decision and, at the same time, OSFI published its prudential expectations regarding the cessation of CDOR. First, OSFI expects all new derivative contracts (bilateral, cleared, and exchange-traded) and securities (assets and debt liabilities) to transition to alternative reference rates by June 30, 2023, with no new CDOR exposure being recorded after that date, with limited exceptions for risk mitigation requirements. Thereafter, by June 28, 2024, OSFI expects federally regulated financial institutions to have transitioned all loan agreements referencing CDOR to alternative reference rates.
The following table discloses the non-derivative financial assets, non-derivative financial liabilities, and derivative financial instruments subject to the interest rate benchmark reform as at July 31, 2022 that will mature after June 28, 2024 and that have not yet transitioned to alternative benchmark rates from the CDOR rate.

|---|---|
| Non-derivative financial assets(1) Non-derivative financial liabilities(2) |
13,695 9,628 |
| Notional amount of derivative financial instruments | 340,485 |
(1) Non-derivative financial assets include the carrying value of securities as well as the outstanding balances on loans and the customers' liability under acceptances.
(2) Non-derivative financial liabilities include the nominal amounts of deposits and subordinated debt as well as the carrying value of acceptances.
On February 1, 2022, the Bank deployed a new integrated accounting software package, and certain processes that affect internal control over financial reporting were modified. The Bank has assessed the impact of this deployment and has made sure that the key controls impacted and the newly implemented controls are well designed.
During the third quarter of 2022, no changes were made to the policies, procedures, and other processes that comprise the Bank's internal control over financial reporting that had or could reasonably have a significant impact on the internal control over financial reporting.

(2) All loans classified in Stage 3 of the expected credit loss model are impaired loans; the net impaired loans presented in this table exclude POCI loans.
Acceptances and the customers' liability under acceptances constitute a guarantee of payment by a bank and can be traded in the money market. The Bank earns a "stamping fee" for providing this guarantee.
Allowances for credit losses represent management's unbiased estimate of expected credit losses as at the balance sheet date. These allowances are primarily related to loans and off-balance-sheet items such as loan commitments and financial guarantees.
Assets in respect of which a financial institution provides administrative services on behalf of the clients who own the assets. Such services include custodial services, collection of investment income, settlement of purchase and sale transactions, and record-keeping. Assets under administration are not reported on the balance sheet of the institution offering such services.
Assets managed by a financial institution and that are beneficially owned by clients.

Assets are risk-weighted according to the guidelines established by OSFI. Using the standardized approach, risk factors are applied to the face value of certain assets in order to reflect comparable risk levels. Using the advanced internal ratings-based (AIRB) approach, risk-weighted assets are derived from the Bank's internal models, which represent the Bank's own assessment of the risks it faces. Off-balance-sheet instruments are converted to balance sheet (or credit) equivalents by adjusting the notional values before applying the appropriate risk-weighting factors.

On August 23, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the publication of the Bank's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the consolidated financial statements) for the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2022.
The Bank's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial statements also comply with section 308(4) of the Bank Act (Canada), which states that, except as otherwise specified by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada) (OSFI), the consolidated financial statements are to be prepared in accordance with IFRS. IFRS represent Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). None of the OSFI accounting requirements are exceptions to IFRS.
These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting and using the same accounting policies, judgments, estimation processes, and valuation techniques as those described in Note 1 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021. Given the uncertainty surrounding the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, developing reliable estimates and applying judgment continue to be substantially complex. The uncertainty surrounding certain key inputs used in measuring expected credit losses is described in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements. Future accounting policy changes that have not yet come into effect are described in Note 2 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021.
Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency.
The interest rate benchmark reform is a global initiative that is being coordinated and led by central banks and governments around the world, including those in Canada. In August 2020, the IASB finalized its response to the ongoing reform of interbank offered rates (IBOR) and other interest rate benchmarks by issuing amendments to its new and former financial instrument standards, IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (IFRS 9) and IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39) as well as to related standard IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures (IFRS 7), to IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts (IFRS 4), and to IFRS 16 – Leases (IFRS 16). These amendments address how financial statements will be affected once current interest rate benchmarks are replaced with alternative interest rate benchmarks and notably cover amendments to contractual cash flows, hedge accounting, and disclosures. On November 1, 2020, the Bank early adopted the amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4, and IFRS 16. For additional information, see Note 17 and the Accounting Policy Changes section in Note 1 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021.
The Bank has transitioned its LIBOR-related (London Interbank Offered Rates) contracts that involve pound sterling (GBP), the euro (EUR), the Japanese yen (JPY), and the Swiss franc (CHF), for which the cessation or loss of representativeness was December 31, 2021. As for USD LIBOR, the Bank included rate replacement clauses in contracts negotiated during 2021 and, since January 1, 2022, the Bank has no longer been using USD LIBOR in new contracts except in circumstances compliant with regulatory guidance.
The Bank is continuing to monitor all of the developments of this initiative, as it is exposed to several risks, including interest rate risk and operational risk, which arise from non-derivative financial assets, non-derivative financial liabilities, and derivative financial instruments. The project team ensures that risks are mitigated while ensuring a positive experience for its clients. The Bank is taking all necessary steps to identify, measure, and control all risks to ensure a smooth transition to the interest rate benchmark reform. As at July 31, 2022, the project was progressing according to schedule.
On December 16, 2021, the Bank of Canada announced that a white paper published by the Canadian Alternative Reference Rate (CARR) Working Group was recommending that CDOR (Canadian Dollar Offered Rate) be declared unrepresentative by its administrator, namely, Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited (Refinitiv) and also that CDOR cease to exist as of June 30, 2024 (including a recommendation to cease using CDOR on the derivative financial instrument market as of June 30, 2023).
On January 31, 2022, Refinitiv launched a public consultation on the future of CDOR. The consultation ended on March 2, 2022, after which Refinitiv published an update to the consultation on April 14, 2022. On May 16, 2022, Refinitiv published the consultation conclusions and announced that the publication of CDOR would cease as of June 28, 2024.
Following this announcement, the CARR Working Group welcomed Refinitiv's decision and, at the same time, OSFI published its prudential expectations regarding the cessation of CDOR. First, OSFI expects all new derivative contracts (bilateral, cleared, and exchange-traded) and securities (assets and debt liabilities) to transition to alternative reference rates by June 30, 2023, with no new CDOR exposure being recorded after that date, with limited exceptions for risk mitigation requirements. Thereafter, by June 28, 2024, OSFI expects federally regulated financial institutions to have transitioned all loan agreements referencing CDOR to alternative reference rates.
The following table discloses the non-derivative financial assets, non-derivative financial liabilities, and derivative financial instruments subject to the interest rate benchmark reform as at July 31, 2022 that will mature after June 28, 2024 and that have not yet transitioned to alternative benchmark rates from the CDOR rate.
| As at July 31, 2022 | |
|---|---|
| Non-derivative financial assets(1) | 13,695 |
| Non-derivative financial liabilities(2) | 9,628 |
| Notional amount of derivative financial instruments | 340,485 |
(1) Non-derivative financial assets include the carrying value of securities as well as the outstanding balances on loans and the customers' liability under acceptances.
(2) Non-derivative financial liabilities include the nominal amounts of deposits and subordinated debt as well as the carrying value of acceptances.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value or at amortized cost in accordance with the categories set out in the accounting framework for financial instruments.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell a financial asset or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction in the principal market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price).
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets provide the best evidence of fair value. When there is no quoted price in an active market, the Bank applies other valuation techniques that maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and that minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Such valuation techniques include the following: using information available from recent market transactions, referring to the current fair value of a comparable financial instrument, applying discounted cash flow analysis, applying option pricing models, or relying on any other valuation technique that is commonly used by market participants and has proven to yield reliable estimates. Judgment is required when applying many of the valuation techniques. The Bank's valuations were based on its assessment of the conditions prevailing as at July 31, 2022 and may change in the future. Furthermore, there may be valuation uncertainty resulting from the choice of valuation model used.
Fair value is established in accordance with a rigorous control framework. The Bank has policies and procedures that govern the process for determining fair value. The Bank's valuation governance structure has remained largely unchanged from that described in Note 3 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021. The valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are also described in this note, and no significant changes have been made to the valuation techniques.
IFRS establishes a fair value measurement hierarchy that classifies the inputs used in financial instrument fair value measurement techniques according to three levels. This fair value hierarchy requires observable market inputs in an active market to be used whenever such inputs exist. According to the hierarchy, the highest level of inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments and the lowest level of inputs are unobservable inputs. If inputs from different levels of the hierarchy are used, the financial instrument is classified in the same level as the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For additional information, see Note 3 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021.
Transfers of financial instruments between Levels 1 and 2 and transfers to (or from) Level 3 are deemed to have taken place at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurred. Significant transfers can occur between the fair value hierarchy levels due to new information on inputs used to determine fair value and the observable nature of those inputs.
During the quarter ended July 31, 2022, \$4 million in securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 as a result of changing market conditions (\$23 million in securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss during the quarter ended July 31, 2021). In addition, during the quarter ended July 31, 2022, \$16 million in securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 as a result of changing market conditions (\$5 million in securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss during the quarter ended July 31, 2021). During the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, financial instruments were transferred to (or from) Level 3 due to changes in the availability of observable market inputs resulting from changing market conditions.
The following tables show financial instruments recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet according to the fair value hierarchy.

The Bank classifies financial instruments in Level 3 when the valuation technique is based on at least one significant input that is not observable in the markets. The Bank maximizes the use of observable inputs to determine the fair value of financial instruments.
For a description of the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of financial instruments classified in Level 3, see Note 3 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021. For the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, no significant change was made to the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in determining fair value.
The Bank performs sensitivity analyses for the fair value measurements of financial instruments classified in Level 3, substituting unobservable inputs with one or more reasonably possible alternative assumptions. For additional information on how a change in an unobservable input might affect the fair value measurements of Level 3 financial instruments, see Note 3 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021. For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, there were no significant changes in the sensitivity analyses of Level 3 financial instruments.
The Bank may hedge the fair value of financial instruments classified in the various levels through offsetting hedge positions. Gains and losses on financial instruments classified in Level 3 presented in the following tables do not reflect the inverse gains and losses on financial instruments used for economic hedging purposes that may have been classified in Level 1 or Level 2 by the Bank. In addition, the Bank may hedge the fair value of financial instruments classified in Level 3 using other financial instruments classified in Level 3. The effect of these hedges is not included in the net amount presented in the following tables. The gains and losses presented hereafter may comprise changes in fair value based on observable and unobservable inputs.

The Bank chose to designate certain financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss according to the criteria presented in Note 1 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021. Consistent with its risk management strategy and in accordance with the fair value option, which permits the designation if it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring financial assets and financial liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses thereon on different bases, the Bank designated, at fair value through profit or loss, certain securities and certain liabilities related to transferred receivables. The fair value of liabilities related to transferred receivables does not include credit risk, as the holders of these liabilities are not exposed to the Bank's credit risk. The Bank also designated certain deposits that include embedded derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.
To determine a change in fair value arising from a change in the credit risk of deposits designated at fair value through profit or loss, the Bank calculates, at the beginning of the period, the present value of the instrument's contractual cash flows using the following rates: first, using an observed discount rate for similar securities that reflects the Bank's credit spread and, then, using a rate that excludes the Bank's credit spread. The difference obtained between the two values is then compared to the difference obtained using the same rates at the end of the period.
Information about the financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss is provided in the following tables.

(1) For the quarter ended July 31, 2022, the change in the fair value of deposits designated at fair value through profit or loss attributable to credit risk, and recorded in Other comprehensive income, resulted in a gain of \$362 million (\$50 million gain for the quarter ended July 31, 2021). For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the corresponding change in this item resulted in a gain of \$803 million (\$40 million loss for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2021).
(2) The amount at maturity that the Bank will be contractually required to pay to the holders of these deposits varies and will differ from the reporting date fair value.
As at July 31, 2022 and as at October 31, 2021, securities at fair value through other comprehensive income and securities at amortized cost are classified in Stage 1, with their credit quality falling mostly in the "Excellent" category according to the Bank's internal risk-rating categories.

During the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, the Bank sold certain debt securities measured at amortized cost. The carrying value of these securities upon disposal was \$337 million for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022 (\$144 million for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2021), and the Bank recognized gains of \$4 million for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022 (negligible amount for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2021) in Non-interest income – Gains (losses) on non-trading securities, netin the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Expected credit losses are determined using a three-stage impairment approach that is based on the change in the credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition.
Financial assets that have experienced no significant increase in credit risk between initial recognition and the reporting date, and for which 12-month expected credit losses are recorded at the reporting date, are classified in Stage 1.
Financial assets that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk between initial recognition and the reporting date, and for which lifetime expected credit losses are recorded at the reporting date, are classified in Stage 2.
Financial assets for which there is objective evidence of impairment, for which one or more events have had a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of these financial assets at the reporting date, and for which lifetime expected credit losses are recorded, are classified in Stage 3.
Financial assets that are credit-impaired when purchased or originated (POCI) are classified in the POCI category.
For additional information, see Notes 1 and 7 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021.
The following tables present the gross carrying amounts of loans as at July 31, 2022 and as at October 31, 2021, according to credit quality and ECL impairment stage of each loan category at amortized cost and according to credit quality for loans at fair value through profit or loss.

(1) The total amount of undiscounted initially expected credit losses on the POCI loans acquired during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022 was \$12 million (\$11 million during the ninemonth period ended July 31, 2021). The expected credit losses reflected in the purchase price have been discounted.
(2) Represent stage transfers deemed to have taken place at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurred.
(3) Includes the net remeasurement of loss allowances (after transfers) attributable mainly to changes in volumes and in the credit quality of existing loans as well as to changes in risk parameters.
(4) Represent reversals to loss allowances arising from full loan repayments (excluding write-offs and disposals).
(5) The allowances for credit losses on undrawn commitments are reported in the Other liabilitiesitem of the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(6) Includes customers' liability under acceptances.
(7) Excludes allowances for credit losses on other financial assets at amortized cost and on off-balance-sheet commitments other than undrawn commitments.
The following tables show the main macroeconomic factors used to estimate the allowances for credit losses on loans. For each scenario, namely, the base scenario, upside scenario, and downside scenario, the average values of the macroeconomic factors over the next 12 months (used for Stage 1 credit loss calculations) and over the remaining forecast period (used for Stage 2 credit loss calculations) are presented.

(1) All macroeconomic factors are based on the Canadian economy unless otherwise indicated.
(2) Growth rate is annualized.
(3) Yield on corporate BBB bonds less yield on Canadian federal government bonds with 10-year maturity.
(4) Main stock index in Canada.
(5) The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) index is commonly used as a benchmark for the price of oil.
The main macroeconomic factors used for the personal credit portfolio are unemployment rate and growth in the housing price index, based on the economy of Canada or Quebec. The main macroeconomic factors used for the business and government credit portfolio are unemployment rate, spread on corporate BBB bonds, S&P/TSX growth, and WTI oil price. An increase in unemployment rate or BBB spread will generally lead to higher allowances for credit losses, whereas an increase in the other macroeconomic factors (GDP, S&P/TSX, housing price index, and WTI oil price) will generally lead to lower allowances for credit losses.
During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the macroeconomic outlook evolved.
According to the base scenario, the global economy will still be dealing with persisting problems from COVID-19, supply chain issues, and inflationary pressures but with some signs of improvement. Geopolitical uncertainty remains high. A normalization of monetary policy continues and already affects the residential sector in 2022. Still, the Canadian economy remains in a good position, as consumers have accumulated considerable excess savings in a labour market at full employment. While commodity prices declined from recent peak levels, they remain historically high but partly offset the shock to consumption arising from higher interest rates. After 12 months, the unemployment rate stands at 5.6%, up slightly but close to the pre-recession level (5.7%). Housing prices slide 7.6% year over year. After one year, the S&P/TSX sits at 20,500 points, and the price of oil at US\$95.
According to the upside scenario, the economy will be surprisingly positive, with the labour market continuing to improve. A decrease in geopolitical tension bolsters confidence and provides a supportive landscape. Governments maintain considerable fiscal stimulus in Canada and the United States, which favours an even stronger recovery. Consumer spending trends upward given the excess savings accumulated since the start of the pandemic. Inflation is under control once again, as supply chains return to normal without any significant tightening of monetary policy. After one year, the unemployment rate is more favourable than the base scenario (five-tenths lower). Housing prices grow 2.0%, the S&P/TSX reaches 21,600 points after one year, and the price of oil at US\$118.
According to the downside scenario, supply chain issues will persist and China will experience bottlenecks. Combined with a deteriorating geopolitical environment, global markets stagnate with several countries seeing a drop in economic activity. In addition, central banks underestimated the impact of rising interest rates in a context of persistent supply shock. Given budgetary constraints, governments cannot continue to support households and businesses. The economic contraction pushes the unemployment rate to 8.1% after 12 months. Housing prices decrease considerably. After one year, the S&P/TSX stands at 15,300 points, and the price of oil at US\$42.
Given the uncertainty surrounding key inputs used to measure credit losses, the Bank has applied expert credit judgment to adjust the modelled expected credit loss results.
The following table shows a comparison of the Bank's allowances for credit losses on non-impaired loans (Stages 1 and 2) as at July 31, 2022 based on the probability weightings of three scenarios with allowances for credit losses resulting from simulations of each scenario weighted at 100%.

In the normal course of its business, the Bank enters into transactions in which it transfers financial assets such as securities or loans directly to third parties, in particular structured entities. According to the terms of some of those transactions, the Bank retains substantially all of the risks and rewards related to those financial assets. The risks include credit risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, prepayment risk, and other price risks, whereas the rewards include income streams associated with the financial assets. As such, those financial assets are not derecognized and the transactions are treated as collateralized or secured borrowings. For additional information on the nature of those transactions, see Note 8 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021.
The following table provides additional information about the nature of the transferred financial assets that do not qualify for derecognition and the associated liabilities.

(1) The amount related to securities loaned is the maximum amount of Bank securities that can be lent. For obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements, the amount includes the Bank's own financial assets as well as those of third parties and excludes bearer deposit notes issued by the Bank and covered bonds issued by the Bank.
(2) Associated liabilities include liabilities related to transferred receivables and obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements before the offsetting impact of \$2,815 million as at July 31, 2022 (\$3,367 million as at October 31, 2021), excluding repurchase agreements guaranteed by bearer deposit notes issued by the Bank and covered bonds issued by the Bank. Liabilities related to securities loaned are not included, as the Bank can lend its own financial assets and those of third parties. The carrying value and fair value of liabilities related to securities loaned stood at \$10,826 million before the offsetting impact of \$4,484 million as at July 31, 2022 (\$7,993 million before the offsetting impact of \$4,333 million as at October 31, 2021).

(1) Demand deposits are deposits for which the Bank does not have the right to require a notice of withdrawal and consist essentially of deposits in chequing accounts.
(2) Notice deposits are deposits for which the Bank may legally require a notice of withdrawal and consist mainly of deposits in savings accounts.
(3) Fixed-term deposits are deposits that can be withdrawn by the holder on a specified date and include term deposits, guaranteed investment certificates, savings accounts and plans, covered bonds, and similar instruments.
The Deposits – Business and government item includes, among other items, covered bonds for which the balance was \$10.2 billion as at July 31, 2022 (\$8.8 billion as at October 31, 2021). During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, an amount of 1.0 billion euros and US\$1.0 billion in covered bonds reached maturity, and the Bank issued 1.3 billion euros, US\$1.5 billion, and 750 million pounds sterling in covered bonds (US\$270 million and 1.0 billion euros in covered bonds reached maturity, and the Bank issued 500 million euros in covered bonds during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2021). For additional information on covered bonds, see Note 27 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021.
In addition, as at July 31, 2022, the Deposits – Business and government item also includes deposits of \$15.0 billion (\$11.9 billion as at October 31, 2021) that are subject to the bank bail-in conversion regulations issued by the Government of Canada. These regulations provide certain powers to the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC), notably the power to convert certain eligible Bank shares and liabilities into common shares should the Bank become non-viable.

(3) As at July 31, 2022, Other items included the financial liability resulting from put options written to non-controlling interests of Flinks Technology Inc. (Flinks) for an amount of \$32 million (\$25 million as at October 31, 2021).
On July 25, 2022, the Bank issued medium-term notes for an amount of \$750 million, bearing interest at 5.426% and maturing on August 16, 2032. The interest on these notes will be payable semi-annually at 5.426% per annum until August 16, 2027 and, thereafter, at a floating rate equal to the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate (CORRA) rate compounded daily plus 2.32% and payable quarterly. With the prior approval of OSFI, the Bank may, at its option, redeem these notes as of August 16, 2027, in whole or in part, at their nominal value plus accrued and unpaid interest. Since the medium-term notes satisfy the nonviability contingent capital requirements, they qualify for the purposes of calculating regulatory capital under Basel III.
On December 10, 2021, the Bank began a normal course issuer bid to repurchase for cancellation up to 7,000,000 common shares (representing approximately 2% of its outstanding common shares) over the 12-month period ending no later than December 9, 2022. Any repurchase through the Toronto Stock Exchange will be done at market prices. The common shares may also be repurchased through other means authorized by the Toronto Stock Exchange and applicable regulations, including private agreements or share repurchase programs under issuer bid exemption orders issued by the securities regulators. A private purchase made under an exemption order issued by a securities regulator will be done at a discount to the prevailing market price. The amounts that are paid above the average book value of the common shares are charged to Retained earnings. During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the Bank repurchased 2,500,000 common shares for \$245 million, which reduced Common share capital by \$24 million and Retained earningsby \$221 million.

The Bank and all other major Canadian banks have to maintain minimum capital ratios established by OSFI: a CET1 capital ratio of at least 10.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 12.0%, and a Total capital ratio of at least 14.0%. All of these ratios include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and OSFI as well as a 1.0% surcharge applicable solely to Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) and a 2.5% domestic stability buffer. The domestic stability buffer, which can vary from 0% to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets, consists exclusively of CET1 capital. A D-SIB that fails to meet this buffer requirement will not be subject to automatic constraints to reduce capital distributions but will have to provide a remediation plan to OSFI. On June 22, 2022, OSFI confirmed that the domestic stability buffer was being maintained at 2.5%. Banks also have to meet the capital floor that sets the regulatory capital level according to the Basel II standardized approach. If the capital requirement under Basel III is less than 70% of the capital requirements calculated under Basel II, the difference is added to risk-weighted assets. Lastly, OSFI requires Canadian banks to meet a Basel III leverage ratio of at least 3.0%.
Since November 1, 2021, OSFI has also been requiring D-SIBs to maintain a risk-based total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) ratio of at least 24.0% (including the domestic stability buffer) of risk-weighted assets and a TLAC leverage ratio of at least 6.75%. The purpose of TLAC is to ensure that a D-SIB has sufficient loss-absorbing capacity to support its recapitalization in the unlikely event it becomes non-viable.
During the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the Bank was in compliance with all of OSFI's regulatory capital, leverage, and TLAC requirements.

On August 9, 2022, the Government of Canada released for public comment draft legislative proposals to implement tax measures applicable to certain entities of banking and life insurer groups, as presented in its budget of April 7, 2022. These measures include the Canada Recovery Dividend (a one-time, 15% tax on the fiscal 2021 and 2020 average taxable income) and a 1.5% increase in the statutory tax rate. Since these proposed tax measures were not substantively enacted at the reporting date, no amount has been recognized in the Bank's consolidated financial statements as at July 31, 2022.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding after taking into account the dilution effect of stock options using the treasury stock method and any gain (loss) on the redemption of preferred shares.

(1) For the quarter ended July 31, 2022, the calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded an average number of 1,754,559 options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of \$96.35, given that the exercise price of these options was greater than the average price of the Bank's common shares. For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2022, the calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded an average number of 1,514,677 options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of \$96.35. For the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2021, given that the exercise price of the options was lower than the average price of the Bank's common shares, no options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.
The Bank carries out its activities in four business segments, which are defined below. For presentation purposes, other activities are grouped in the Other heading. Each reportable segment is distinguished by services offered, type of clientele, and marketing strategy. The presentation of segment disclosures is consistent with the presentation adopted by the Bank for the fiscal year beginning November 1, 2021. This presentation reflects the fact that the loan portfolio of borrowers in the ʺOil and gasʺ and ʺPipelinesʺ sectors as well as related activities, which had previously been reported in the Personal and Commercial segment, is now reported in the Financial Markets segment. The Bank made this change to better align the monitoring of its activities with its management structure.
The Personal and Commercial segment encompasses the banking, financing, and investing services offered to individuals, advisors, and businesses as well as insurance operations.
The Wealth Management segment comprises investment solutions, trust services, banking services, lending services, and other wealth management solutions offered through internal and third-party distribution networks.
The Financial Markets segment encompasses corporate banking and investment banking and financial solutions for large and mid-size corporations, public sector organizations, and institutional investors.
The USSF&I segment encompasses the specialty finance expertise provided by the Credigy Ltd. subsidiary; the activities of the Advanced Bank of Asia Limited subsidiary, which offers financial products and services to individuals and businesses in Cambodia; and the activities of targeted investments in certain emerging markets.
This heading encompasses treasury activities; liquidity management; Bank funding; asset/liability management activities; the activities of the Flinks subsidiary, which offers fintech services; certain specified items; and the unallocated portion of corporate units.
