Financial Commentary

 

Overview

HSBC Bank Canada recorded profit for the period of C$208m for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of C$8m, or 4.0% compared with C$200m for the second quarter of 2010. Profit for the first half of 2011 was C$368m, an increase of C$14m, or 4.0% compared with C$354m for the first half of 2010. Profit attributable to common shareholders was C$191m for the second quarter of 2011, and C$333m for the first half of the year, increases of C$13m, or 7.3%, and C$22m, or 7.1%, respectively over the same periods in 2010. This increase in profits in 2011 was primarily due to lower loan impairment charges and higher fee income, partially offset by lower net interest income and increased operating expenses.

Commenting on the results, Lindsay Gordon, President and Chief Executive Officer of HSBC Bank Canada, said:

"Thanks to HSBC Bank Canada's strong business fundamentals, lower loan impairment charges and higher fee income, we continued to deliver solid operating results in the second quarter. Once again we focused on building on our global capabilities through the HSBC Group to meet our customer needs, and maintaining strong capital and liquidity levels."

Analysis of Consolidated Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2011

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2011 was C$390m, compared with C$410m for the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of C$20m, or 4.9%. On a year-to-date basis, net interest income was C$772m in 2011, compared with C$804m in 2010, a decrease of C$32m, or 4.0%. The decrease was primarily due to lower loan volumes, resulting from reduced commercial borrowings and consumer finance receivables, and spread compression on deposits resulting from competitive pressures, partially offset by the benefit from increases in Bank of Canada interest rates which impacted the bank's prime rate-based assets.

Net fee income for the second quarter of 2011 was C$162m, compared with C$158m for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of C$4m, or 2.5%. On a year-to-date basis, net fee income was C$325m in 2011, compared with C$304m in 2010, an increase of C$21m, or 6.9%. The increase was primarily due to higher fees from credit facilities and funds under management, partially offset by lower credit insurance income.

Net trading income for the second quarter of 2011 was C$36m, compared with C$61m for the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of C$25m, or 41%. On a year-to-date basis, net trading income was C$73m in 2011, compared with C$97m in 2010, a decrease of C$24m, or 24.7%. The main factor contributing to the decrease compared to the prior year was a C$21m recovery in the second quarter of 2010 of previously recorded losses upon the disposal of substantially all of the bank's non-bank Canadian asset-backed commercial paper ("ABCP") portfolio.

Net gain/(loss) from financial instruments designated at fair value. The bank records certain subordinated debentures, deposits and liabilities at fair value. Credit spreads continued to narrow in the second quarter of 2011, resulting in an increase in the fair value of these balances and a reduction to earnings. However, this was more than offset by a gain on the economic hedge of the interest rate risk exposure on the debt, resulting in a net gain of C$2m in the period, compared with a gain of C$13m in the same quarter in 2010. In 2011, on a year-to-date basis, due primarily to the narrowing of credit spreads, financial instruments designated at fair value incurred a loss of C$6m, compared with a gain of $5m in the same period in 2010.

Gains less losses from financial investments for the second quarter of 2011 were C$4m, compared with C$5m for the second quarter of 2010. On a year-to-date basis, gains less losses from financial investments were C$20m in 2011, compared with C$8m in 2010, an increase of C$12m, or 150%. The increase in the year-to-date period was due to the gains recognized in the first quarter of 2011 from the disposal of the bank's available-for-sale preferred share portfolio, combined with higher gains from the sale of certain government bonds and bank debt securities in the first and second quarters of 2011.

Other operating income for the second quarter of 2011 was C$25m, compared with C$43m for the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of C$18m, or 41.9%. On a year-to-date basis, other operating income was C$65m in 2011, compared with C$85m in 2010, a decrease of C$20m, or 23.5%. The decrease was primarily due to a C$17m charge in the current quarter resulting from a decrease in the fair value of certain investment properties.

Loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions of C$31m were recorded in the second quarter of 2011 compared with C$72m for the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of C$41m, or 56.9%. On a year-to-date basis, loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions were C$80m, compared with C$141m in 2010, a decrease of C$61m, or 43.3%. The decrease in loan impairment charges in 2011 compared with 2010 was due to lower volumes in the bank's commercial loan portfolio, reduced levels of individually assessed impairment charges, primarily in the energy, wholesale and retail trade sectors, and a release of collective impairment provisions in the retail banking, commercial and consumer finance portfolios due to improved credit quality and lower loan volumes.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were C$315m, compared with C$336m for the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of C$21m, or 6.3%. On a year-to-date basis, total operating expenses were C$674m in 2011, compared with C$656m in 2010, an increase of C$18m, or 2.7%. Employee compensation and benefits increased by C$18m in the quarter and C$46m in the year-to-date period, partially due to an increase in the post-retirement benefits expense as a result of enhancements to certain of the bank's pension plans, combined with increases in commission expenses due to higher fee revenues, higher full-time salaries and restructuring costs associated with certain efficiency-driven initiatives. General and administrative expenses decreased by C$46m in the quarter and C$36m in the year-to-date period due to a recovery of fees from an HSBC affiliate with respect to prior years. Amortization and impairment of intangible assets increased by C$8m in the quarter and C$9m in the year-to-date period as a result of a write-off of certain internally-developed software costs.

Income tax expense. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2011 was 24.1%, compared with 29.1% in the second quarter of 2010. For the year-to-date period in 2011, the effective tax rate was 26.0%, compared with 30.0% in 2010. The decrease in the current quarter and the year-to-date period was largely due to a reduction in statutory tax rates and the recovery of fees from an HSBC affiliate with respect to prior years which are not taxable.

Statement of Financial Position

Total assets at 30 June 2011 were C$81.5bn, an increase of C$3.4bn from 31 December 2010, primarily due to a C$1.4bn increase in trading assets and a C$1.8bn increase in financial investments. Liquidity remained strong, with C$28.4bn of cash and balances at central banks, items in the course of collection from other banks, trading assets, loans and advances to banks and financial investments at 30 June 2011, compared with C$26.1bn at 31 December 2010. Loans and advances to customers increased to C$45.5bn from C$45.2bn at 31 December 2010, primarily due to an increase in the balance of reverse repurchase agreements with customers. Excluding repurchase agreements, loans and advances to customers decreased by C$0.4bn, as our commercial customers continued to deleverage their balance sheets.

Gross impaired loans were C$718m, a decrease of C$80m compared with C$798m at 31 December 2010, and were C$216m lower than at 30 June 2010. Total impaired loans net of specific allowances for credit losses were C$515m at 30 June 2011, compared with C$571m at 31 December 2010. Total impaired loans includes C$60m (31 December 2010 - C$117m) of Consumer Finance loans, for which impairment is assessed collectively. The collective allowance applicable to Consumer Finance loans was C$89m compared with C$148m at 31 December 2010. The total collective allowance was C$332m compared with C$400m at 31 December 2010.

Total customer accounts of C$45.5bn at 30 June 2011 were unchanged from 31 December 2010.

Debt securities in issue increased to C$15.3bn at 30 June 2011 from C$14.8bn at 31 December 2010, primarily due to an increase in wholesale term deposits.

Business Performance in the Second Quarter of 2011

Retail Banking and Wealth Management

In November 2010, our parent company announced that, with effect from March 2011, within the context of the customer group/global business view of HSBC Group's performance, Retail Banking and Wealth Management would be managed as a single customer group. The business comprises the former Personal Financial Services, together with Global Asset Management being transferred from Global Banking and Markets to this new single business. Commentary in this news release related to Retail Banking and Wealth Management reflects the change in structure, and all prior periods presented have been restated on that basis.

The Retail Banking and Wealth Management business continued to focus on becoming the leading international premium bank in Canada, offering our premium customers global connectivity through innovative products, providing them access to emerging market exposure and deepening our relationships with them through proposition based product packages and pricing.

Profit before income tax expense was C$48m for the second quarter of 2011, compared with C$24m for the second quarter of 2010. On a year-to-date basis, profit before income tax expense was C$62m in 2011, compared with C$37m in 2010. The current quarter's results include a recovery of fees from an HSBC Group affiliate with respect to prior years of C$28m, partially offset by a C$7m write-off of internally-developed software costs, while the second quarter 2010 results included a $7m recovery of previously recorded losses on non-bank ABCP. When excluding the impact of these items, the increase in quarterly and year-to-date profit is mainly due to strong sales and higher client trading volumes in the wealth management business, lower loan impairment charges due to a release of collective impairment provisions resulting from improved credit quality, and higher net interest income resulting from a re-pricing initiative and higher loan fees. These were partially offset by an increase in operating expenses resulting from higher pension and benefit costs, combined with certain restructuring costs incurred.

Commercial Banking

The Commercial Banking business continued to focus on its position as the Best Bank for Small Business through our Business Direct strategy and as the Leading International Bank for business by continuing to strengthen our cross border capabilities, particularly through our investment to grow our presence in Central and Eastern Canada.

Profit before income tax expense was C$149m for the second quarter of 2011, compared with C$143m for the second quarter of 2010. On year-to-date basis, profit before income tax expense was C$286m, compared with C$296m in 2010. The current quarter's results include a recovery of fees from an HSBC Group affiliate with respect to prior years of C$17m, partially offset by a C$1m write-off of internally-developed software costs, while the second quarter 2010 results included a C$7m recovery of previously recorded losses on non-bank ABCP. When excluding the impact of these items, the decrease in quarterly profit is mainly due to a charge for a decline in the fair value of certain investment properties of C$17m in the second quarter of 2011 and lower loan volumes, partially offset by a decrease in loan impairment charges. In addition to the C$17m charge related to investment properties, the decrease in profit on a year-to-date basis was due to lower loan volumes resulting from the slow pace of the global economic recovery and continued client deleveraging, and higher operating expenses resulting from investments in our business in Central and Eastern Canada, including personnel and marketing, and certain restructuring costs, which were partially offset by lower loan impairment charges. A decrease in the loan portfolio, improved credit quality, and a reduction in non-performing loan portfolio resulted in reduced levels of individually assessed impairment charges, primarily in the energy, wholesale and retail trade sectors and a release of collectively assessed impairments due to improvements in credit quality and lower loan volumes.    

Global Banking and Markets 

The prior period results for Global Banking and Markets have been restated to reflect the transfer of the Global Asset Management business to Retail Banking and Wealth Management, as discussed above.

The Global Banking and Markets business continued to focus on becoming the International Bank of choice by building a client-driven franchise serving the global needs of our core clients, delivering global products to Canadian clients and Canadian products to global clients.

Profit before income tax expense was C$60m for the second quarter of 2011, compared with C$77m for the second quarter of 2010. On a year-to-date basis, profit before income tax expense was C$132m in 2011, compared with C$126m in 2010. The current quarter's results include a C$2m recovery of fees from an HSBC Group affiliate with respect to prior years, while the second quarter 2010 results included a C$7m recovery of previously recorded losses on non-bank ABCP. When excluding the impact of these items, the decrease in quarterly profit was due to lower mark-to-market accounting gains related to hedge ineffectiveness and non-qualifying hedge valuation variances, and an increase in operating expenses as a result of certain restructuring costs incurred and higher branch operating cost allocations. The increase in year-to-date profit was mainly attributable to higher net interest income from the positive impact from increases in Bank of Canada interest rates, an increase in foreign exchange trading revenue, and gains from the disposal of certain financial investments, partially offset by decreases in advisory fees and mark-to-market accounting gains.

Consumer Finance

The primary focus of the Consumer Finance business continues to be the improvement of the sales force's productivity and managing risk and credit quality.

Profit before income tax expense was C$15m for the second quarter of 2011, compared with C$25m for the second quarter of 2010. On a year-to-date basis, profit before income tax expense was C$23m in 2011, compared to C$42m in 2010. The decline in quarterly and year-to-date profit was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income as a result of lower average receivables and a C$1m write-off of internally-developed software costs, partially offset by a decrease in loan impairment charges and a C$3m reversal of an impairment loss on available-for-sale investments recorded in the second quarter of 2011. In addition, the 2010 results included C$5m in income from the sale of certain insurance annuities in the second quarter.

Other

Activities or transactions which do not relate directly to the above business segments are reported in Other. The main items reported under Other include gains and losses from financial instruments designated at fair value and revenue and expense recoveries related to information technology activities performed on behalf of the HSBC Group companies. Profit before income tax expense of C$2m was recorded in Other in the second quarter of 2011, compared to profit of C$13m in the second quarter of 2010. On a year-to-date basis, a loss before income tax expense of C$6m was recorded in 2011, compared to income of C$5m in 2010. The variances are due to the impact of changes in the fair value of financial instruments designated at fair value.

Dividends

During the second quarter of 2011, the bank declared and paid C$75m in dividends on HSBC Bank Canada common shares, compared with C$65m in the same period in 2010. The bank declared and paid C$150m in common share dividends during the half-year ended 30 June 2011 compared with C$140m in the same period in 2010.

Regular quarterly dividends of 31.875 cents per share have been declared on HSBC Bank Canada Class 1 Preferred Shares - Series C, 31.25 cents per share on Class 1 Preferred Shares - Series D, 41.25 cents per share on Class 1 Preferred Shares - Series E and 7.75 cents per share on Class 2 Preferred Shares - Series B. Dividends will be paid on 30 September 2011 to shareholders of record on 15 September 2011.

IFRS and related non-IFRS measures used in this News Release

The bank uses both IFRS and certain non-IFRS financial measures to assess performance. Securities regulators require that companies caution readers that earnings and other measures that have been adjusted to a basis other than IFRS do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. The following outlines various non-IFRS measures that are regularly monitored by management:

Return on average common equity - Profit attributable to common shareholders on an annualized basis divided by average common equity, which is calculated using month-end balances of common equity for the period.

Post-tax return on average assets - Profit attributable to common shareholders on an annualized basis divided by average assets, which is calculated using average daily balances for the period.

Post-tax return on average risk weighted assets - Profit attributable to common shareholders on an annualized basis divided by the average monthly balances of risk weighted assets for the period. Risk weighted assets are calculated using guidelines issued by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada ("OSFI") in accordance with the Basel II capital adequacy framework.

Cost efficiency ratio - Calculated as total operating expenses for the period divided by net operating income before loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions for the period.

Adjusted cost efficiency ratio - Cost efficiency ratio adjusted to exclude gains and losses from financial instruments designated at fair value from net operating income before loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions and intra-group recoveries from HSBC Group entities from both net operating income before loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions and total operating expenses. For purposes of this adjusted ratio, intra-group revenues and expenses, which are reported on a gross basis in "other operating income" and "general and administrative expenses" in our consolidated financial statements, are reflected on a net basis, consistent with our reporting to our Parent.

Net interest income, net fee income and net trading income as a percentage of total operating income - Net interest income, net fee income and net trading income for the period divided by net operating income before loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions for the period.

Ratio of customer advances to customer accounts - Loans and advances to customers divided by customer accounts, using period-end balances.

Average total shareholders' equity to average total assets - average shareholders' equity is calculated using month-end balances of total shareholders' equity for the period and average total assets are calculated using average daily balances for the period.
