Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

On May 30, 2023, 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 six-month period ended April 30, 2023.

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 as those described in Note 1 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022. Since these interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the annual financial statement disclosures required under IFRS, they should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended October 31, 2022. 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, 2022.

Certain comparative amounts have been adjusted to reflect an accounting policy change related to cloud computing arrangements, as described in Note 1 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022.

Judgment, Estimates and Assumptions

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 of the Bank's accounting policies, such as measurement of expected credit losses (ECLs), require particularly complex judgments and estimates. See Note 1 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022 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 geopolitical landscape, rising inflation, higher interest rates, and the Russia-Ukraine war continue to create uncertainty. As a result, establishing reliable estimates and applying judgment continue to be substantially complex. The uncertainty regarding certain key inputs used in measuring ECLs is described in Note 5 to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency.

Note 2 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Establishing Fair Value

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 April 30, 2023 and may change in the future. Furthermore, there may be measurement 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, 2022. 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.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet

Hierarchy of Fair Value Measurements

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, 2022.

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 April 30, 2023, $1 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 ($21 million in securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss during the quarter ended April 30, 2022). Also, during the quarter ended April 30, 2023, $2 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 ($3 million in securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss during the quarter ended April 30, 2022). During the six-month periods ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, financial instruments were transferred to (or from) Level 3 due to changes in the availability of observable market inputs as a result of changing market conditions.

The following tables show financial instruments recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet according to the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Instruments Classified in Level 3

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, 2022. For the quarter and six-month period ended April 30, 2023, no significant change was made to the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in determining fair value.

Sensitivity Analysis of Financial Instruments Classified in Level 3

The Bank performs sensitivity analyses for the fair value measurements of Level 3 financial instruments, 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, 2022. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2023, there were no significant changes in the sensitivity analyses of Level 3 financial instruments.

Change in the Fair Value of Financial Instruments Classified in Level 3

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.

Note 3 - Financial Instruments Designated at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

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, 2022. 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 certain securities, certain securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements, and certain liabilities related to transferred receivables at fair value through profit or loss. 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, an observed discount rate for similar securities that reflects the Bank's credit spread and, then, 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 April 30, 2023, 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 loss of $27 million ($412 million gain for the quarter ended April 30, 2022). For the six-month period ended April 30, 2023, the corresponding change in this item resulted in a loss of $219 million ($441 million gain for the six-month period ended April 30, 2022).

(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.

Note 5 - Loans and Allowances for Credit Losses

Determining and Measuring Expected Credit Losses (ECL)

Determining Expected Credit Losses

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.

Non-Impaired Loans

Stage 1

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.

Stage 2

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.

Impaired Loans

Stage 3

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.

POCI

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, 2022.

Credit Quality of Loans

The following tables present the gross carrying amounts of loans as at April 30, 2023 and as at October 31, 2022, 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. For additional information on credit quality according to the Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) categories, see the Internal Default Risk Ratings table on page 78 in the Credit Risk section of the 2022 Annual Report.

(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 quarter ended April 30, 2023, the macroeconomic risks are similar to those of the previous quarter, with uncertainty remaining high.

Despite greater-than-anticipated resilience in global growth in early 2023, new concerns have emerged, in particular surrounding the U.S. and European banking systems, which could slow growth. The restrictive monetary policy ushered in by the major central banks in response to rising inflation, which is improving but still too high globally, suggests a cautious outlook. In the United States, negotiations over raising the debt ceiling is making investors nervous as the government could find itself short of liquidity during the summer. The U.S. Federal Reserve is pausing interest rate hikes but the underlying inflation and high wages do not suggest rate cuts before the last quarter of the year. Monetary policy that remains so restrictive for so long will translate, in our scenario, into three quarters of economic contraction starting in the fourth quarter. The Bank of Canada was able to announce a rate hike pause before the U.S. Federal Reserve given greater success against inflation but that may not prevent the Canadian economy from experiencing lethargy caused by the high interest rates. A stronger banking system, greater excess savings, and advantageous foreign exchange terms lead us to believe that Canada's economy might be more resilient than the U.S. economy in the coming quarters. After 12 months, the unemployment rate rises 1.2 percentage points to 6.2%. Housing prices decrease by 6.6% year over year. The S&P/TSX sits at 20,427 points after one year, and the price of oil hovers around US$66.

In the upside scenario, an easing of geopolitical tensions boosts confidence. Inflation comes under control as supply chains normalize, and the tight monetary policy does not inflict too much damage on the economy. Governments maintain a sizable fiscal stimulus in Canada and the United States, offsetting the tight monetary policy. Consumer spending is surprisingly high because of the excess savings amassed since the start of the pandemic. After one year, the unemployment rate is more favourable than the base scenario (five-tenths lower). Housing prices remain unchanged, the S&P/TSX is at 21,305 points after one year, and the price of oil hovers around US$84.

In the downside scenario, central bankers have underestimated the impact of their simultaneous tightening measures, and the global economy sinks into a recession, as a decrease in demand is reflected in reduced investment by businesses, which also carry out layoffs. Given budgetary constraints, governments cannot support households and businesses as they did during the pandemic. After 12 months, the economic contraction pushes the unemployment rate to 8.1%. Housing prices decrease considerably. The S&P/TSX sits at 15,015 points after one year, and the price of oil hovers around US$37.

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.

Note 10 - Share Capital and Other Equity Instruments (cont.)

Repurchase of Common Shares

On December 12, 2022, the Bank began a normal course issuer bid to repurchase for cancellation up to 7,000,000 common shares (representing approximately 2.1% of its outstanding common shares) over the 12-month period ending on December 11, 2023. On December 10, 2021, the Bank had begun a normal course issuer bid to repurchase for cancellation up to 7,000,000 common shares (representing approximately 2% of its then outstanding common shares) over the 12-month period ended 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 six-month period ended April 30, 2023, the Bank did not repurchase any common shares. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2022, the Bank had repurchased 2,500,000 common shares for $245 million, which had reduced Common share capital by $24 million and Retained earnings by $221 million.

Note 11 - Capital Disclosure

The Bank and all other major Canadian banks have to maintain the following minimum capital ratios established by OSFI: a CET1 capital ratio of at least 11.0%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 12.5%, and a Total capital ratio of at least 14.5%. All of these ratios include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and OSFI, a 1.0% surcharge applicable solely to Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) and a 3.0% domestic stability buffer. On December 8, 2022, OSFI expanded the domestic stability buffer range, setting it at 0% to 4.0% instead of the previous range of 0% to 2.5%, and it announced that the buffer would rise from 2.5% to 3.0% effective February 1, 2023. The domestic stability buffer must consist 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 must provide a remediation plan to OSFI. Banks also have to meet the requirements of an updated capital output floor calculated under the Basel III revised Standardized Approach. If the capital requirement is less than 65.0% of the capital output floor requirement calculated using the Basel III revised Standardized Approach, the difference is added to the total risk-weighted assets. Lastly, OSFI requires D-SIBs to maintain a Basel III leverage ratio of at least 3.5%. Effective February 1, 2023, OSFI increased the leverage ratio minimum requirement by imposing a Tier 1 capital buffer of 0.5% applicable only to D-SIBs.

OSFI also requires D-SIBs to maintain a risk-based total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) ratio of at least 24.5% (including the domestic stability buffer) of risk-weighted assets and a TLAC leverage ratio of at least 7.25% (increased by 0.5% effective February 1, 2023). The purpose of TLAC is to ensure that a D-SIB has sufficient loss-absorbing capacity to support its internal recapitalization in the unlikely event it becomes non-viable.

In the second quarter of 2023, the Bank implemented OSFI's guidance relating to the Basel III reforms, notably:

· a revised Standardized Approach and Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) Approach to credit risk;

· a revised Standardized Approach for operational risk;

· a revised capital output floor;

· a revised Leverage Ratio Framework; and

· revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements.

The Basel III reforms also affected the market risk and credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risk frameworks, which will be implemented in the first quarter of 2024.

During the quarter and six-month period ended April 30, 2023, the Bank was in compliance with all of OSFI's regulatory capital, leverage, and TLAC requirements.

Note 14 - Income Taxes

Notice of Assessment

In March 2023, the Bank was reassessed by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for additional income tax and interest of approximately $90 million (including estimated provincial tax and interest) in respect of certain Canadian dividends received by the Bank during the 2018 taxation year.

In prior fiscal years, the Bank had been reassessed for additional income tax and interest of approximately $875 million (including provincial tax and interest) in respect of certain Canadian dividends received by the Bank during the 2012-2017 taxation years.

In the reassessments, the CRA alleges that the dividends were received as part of a "dividend rental arrangement".

The CRA may issue reassessments to the Bank for taxation years subsequent to 2018 in regard to certain activities similar to those that were the subject of the above-mentioned reassessments. The Bank remains confident that its tax position was appropriate and intends to vigorously defend its position. As a result, no amount has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements as at April 30, 2023.

Canadian Government's 2022 Tax Measures

On November 4, 2022, the Government of Canada introduced Bill C-32 - An Act to implement certain provisions of the fall economic statement tabled in Parliament on November 3, 2022 and certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on April 7, 2022 to implement tax measures applicable to certain entities of banking and life insurer groups, as presented in its April 7, 2022 budget. These tax measures include the Canada Recovery Dividend (CRD), which is a one-time, 15% tax on the fiscal 2021 and 2020 average taxable income above $1 billion, as well as a 1.5% increase in the statutory tax rate. On December 15, 2022, Bill C-32 received royal assent. Given that these tax measures were in effect at the financial reporting date, a $32 million tax expense for the CRD and an $8 million tax recovery for the tax rate increase, including the impact related to current and deferred taxes for fiscal 2022, were recognized in the consolidated financial statements as at April 30, 2023.

Proposed Legislation

In its March 28, 2023 budget, the Government of Canada proposed to introduce certain tax measures applicable to the Bank. The measures include the denial of the deduction in respect of dividends received after 2023 on shares that are mark-to-market property for tax purposes, the application of a 2% tax on the net value of equity repurchases occurring as of January 1, 2024, as well as the government's intention to implement the Pillar Two rules (global minimum tax) published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for fiscal years beginning as of December 31, 2023. The proposed measures have not yet been included in a bill at the reporting date.

Note 15 - Earnings Per Share

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.

		Quarter ended April 30		Six months ended April 30

Diluted earnings per share (dollars)		2.38	2.53	4.87	5.17

(2) For the quarter and six-month period ended April 30, 2023, as 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 (no options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the quarter and six-month period ended April 30, 2022).

Note 16 - Segment Disclosures

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, 2022. This presentation reflects a revision to the method used for the sectoral allocation of technology investment expenses, which are now immediately allocated to the various business segments, whereas certain expenses, notably costs incurred during the research phase of projects, had previously been recorded in the Other heading of segment results. This revision is consistent with the accounting policy change applied in fiscal 2022 related to cloud computing arrangements. For the quarter and six-month period ended April 30, 2022, certain amounts have been adjusted to reflect this accounting policy change (for additional information, see Note 1).

Personal and Commercial

The Personal and Commercial segment encompasses the banking, financing, and investing services offered to individuals, advisors, and businesses as well as insurance operations.

Wealth Management

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.

Financial Markets

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.

U.S. Specialty Finance and International (USSF&I)

The USSF&I segment encompasses the specialty finance expertise provided by the Credigy subsidiary; the activities of the ABA Bank subsidiary, which offers financial products and services to individuals and businesses in Cambodia; and the activities of targeted investments in certain emerging markets.

Other

This heading encompasses treasury activities; liquidity management; Bank funding; asset/liability management activities; the activities of the Flinks subsidiary, a fintech company specialized in financial data aggregation and distribution; certain specified items; and the unallocated portion of corporate units.

(1) For the quarter and six-month period ended April 30, 2022, certain amounts have been reclassified, notably due to a revised method for the sectoral allocation of technology investment expenses. In addition, certain amounts have been adjusted to reflect a change in accounting policy related to cloud computing arrangements (for additional information, see Note 1).

(2) The Net interest income, Non-interest income, and Income taxes (recovery) items of the business segments are presented on a taxable equivalent basis. Taxable equivalent basis is a calculation method that consists of grossing up certain revenues taxed at lower rates by the income tax to a level that would make it comparable to revenues from taxable sources in Canada. For the business segments as a whole, Net interest income was grossed up by $76 million ($49 million in 2022), Non-interest income was grossed up by $56 million ($3 million in 2022), and an equivalent amount was recognized in Income taxes (recovery). The effect of these adjustments is reversed under the Other heading.

(3) Represents an average of the daily balances for the period, which is also the basis on which sectoral assets are reported in the business segments.

(4) During the six-month period ended April 30, 2023, for the business segments as whole, Net interest income was grossed up by $154 million ($109 million in 2022), Non-interest income was grossed up by $108 million ($7 million in 2022), and an equivalent amount was recognized in Income taxes (recovery). The effect of these adjustments has been reversed under the Other heading.

(5) During the six-month period ended April 30, 2023, the Bank recorded a $32 million tax expense with respect to the Canada Recovery Dividend, i.e., a one-time, 15% tax on the fiscal 2021 and 2020 average taxable income above $1 billion, as well as an $8 million tax recovery related to a 1.5% increase in the statutory tax rate, which includes the impact related to current and deferred taxes for fiscal 2022. These items are recorded in the Other heading. For additional information on these tax measures, see Note 14.

Note 17 - Event After the Consolidated Balance Sheet Date

On May 2, 2023, the Bank concluded that it had lost significant influence over TMX Group Limited (TMX) and therefore, as of this date, ceased using the equity method to account for this investment. The Bank designated its investment in TMX as a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in an amount of $191 million. Following the fair value measurement, a $91 million gain will be recorded in the Non-interest income - Other item of the Consolidated Statement of Income and will be reported in the Other heading of segment results during the third quarter of 2023. As at April 30, 2023, the Bank's ownership interest in TMX was 2.5%.
