Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

On May 28, 2024, 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, 2024.

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, 2023, except for the changes described in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements, which have been applied since November 1, 2023 upon the adoption of IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17). Certain comparative amounts have been adjusted to reflect these accounting policy changes.

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, 2023 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 (notably, the Russia-Ukraine war and clashes between Israel and Hamas), inflation, climate change, and higher interest rates 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 7 to these consolidated financial statements.

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

Note 2 - Accounting Policy Changes

On November 1, 2023, the Bank adopted IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17).

Insurance Revenues

Insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts, are arrangements under which one party accepts significant insurance risk by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event was to occur.

The Bank uses the General Measurement Model (GMM) to measure most of its insurance and reinsurance contracts based on the present value of estimates of the expected future cash flows necessary to fulfill the contracts, including an adjustment for non-financial risk as well as the contractual service margin (CSM), which represents the unearned profits that will be recognized as services are provided in the future. The Bank has chosen to apply the simplified approach (the Premium Allocation Approach or PAA) to measure insurance contracts with coverage periods of one year or less. The insurance revenues from these contracts are recognized systematically over the coverage period. For all measurement approaches, if contracts are expected to be onerous, losses are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Upon the issuance of a contract, an insurance asset or liability and a reinsurance asset, if applicable, are recognized in Other assets and in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Subsequent changes in the carrying values of the insurance asset and liability and reinsurance asset are recognized on a net basis in Non-interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Insurance service expenses consist mainly of incurred claims and other insurance service expenses, amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows, and losses on onerous contracts as well as reversals of such losses. Royalties received from reinsurers are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income as the Bank receives services under groups of reinsurance contracts. Amounts recovered from reinsurers comprise cash flows related to the claims or benefit experience of the underlying contracts. All of these amounts are recognized as a deduction from insurance revenues in Non-interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Impacts of IFRS 17 Adoption

The IFRS 17 requirements have been applied retrospectively by adjusting the Consolidated Balance Sheet balances on the date of initial application, i.e., November 1, 2022. The impacts of IFRS 17 adoption have been recognized through an adjustment to Retained earnings as at November 1, 2022. The following information presents the impacts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as at November 1, 2022 and as at October 31, 2023:

Consolidated Balance Sheets

	As at October 31, 2023		As at October 31, 2023	As at October 31, 2022		As at November 1, 2022

Equity
Retained earnings	16,744	(94)	16,650	15,140	(48)	15,092

As at October 31, 2023, the net CSM amount related to the new recognition and measurement principles for insurance and reinsurance assets and liabilities stood at $109 million ($89 million as at November 1, 2022).

Note 3 - Future Accounting Policy Changes

The Bank closely monitors both new accounting standards and amendments to existing accounting standards issued by the IASB. The following standard has been issued but is not yet effective. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of applying this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Effective Date - November 1, 2027

IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued a new accounting standard, IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18). This new standard replaces the current IAS 1 accounting standard that covers the presentation of financial statements. IFRS 18 presents a new accounting framework that will improve how information is communicated in financial statements, in particular performance-related information in the consolidated income statement, and that will introduce limited changes to the consolidated statement of cash flows and the consolidated statement of financial position. IFRS 18 must be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted.

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, 2024 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, 2023. 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. In some cases, the inputs used to measure the fair value of a financial instrument might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. For additional information, see Note 3 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2023.

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, 2024, $5 million in securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss and $1 million in obligations related to securities sold short were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 as a result of changing market conditions ($1 million in securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss during the quarter ended April 30, 2023). Also, $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 during the quarter ended April 30, 2023. During the six-month periods ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, 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, 2023. For the quarter and six-month period ended April 30, 2024, 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, 2023. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, there were no significant changes in the sensitivity analyses of Level 3 financial instruments, except for derivative financial instruments for which the reasonable fair value range could result in a $68 million increase or decrease in the net fair value recorded as at April 30, 2024 (a $16 million increase or decrease as at October 31, 2023).

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 5 - 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, 2023. 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, 2024, 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 $233 million ($27 million loss for the quarter ended April 30, 2023). For the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, this change resulted in a loss of $461 million ($219 million loss for the six-month period ended April 30, 2023).

(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.

The carrying value of these securities upon disposal was $180 million for the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, and the Bank recognized gains totalling $1 million for the six-month period ended April 30, 2024 in Non-interest income - Gains (losses) on non-trading securities, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Note 7 - 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, 2023.

Credit Quality of Loans

The following tables present the gross carrying amounts of loans as at April 30, 2024 and as at October 31, 2023, 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 77 in the Credit Risk section of the 2023 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, 2024, the macroeconomic outlook remained essentially unchanged and uncertainty remains high.

Despite a return to economic growth in the first quarter, this does not mean the Canadian economy is solid. GDP per capita continues to fall, reflecting the impact of the past interest rate hikes. Labour market conditions are quickly cooling, with hiring failing to keep pace with population growth in recent months. The Bank of Canada is nevertheless maintaining the most restrictive monetary policy in the G7, which risks causing too much damage to the economy. As a result, the economy is expected to be weak over the next few quarters, which could lead to a contraction by mid-year. As for the U.S. economy, it continues to show greater resilience, mainly because domestic demand remains robust. However, the U.S. economy's strength and the resulting impact on inflation, which remains too high, are complicating the U.S. Federal Reserve's efforts. This will probably mean that the key rate will be kept high for a longer period of time. In the base scenario, Canada's unemployment rate stands at 6.9% after 12 months, up 1.0 percentage point. Despite a slight deterioration in the labour market, real estate prices continue to trend slightly upward as a result of the housing shortage, which is being exacerbated by a demographic boom. As a result, housing prices are up 2.8% year over year. The S&P/TSX sits at 19,471 points after one year, and the price of oil hovers around US$75.

In the upside scenario, an easing of geopolitical tensions boosts confidence. Inflation continues to subside, as central bankers have managed to curb it without having caused significant damage to the economy. The Canadian and U.S. governments continue to expand spending, offsetting the effects of restrictive monetary policies. With the labour market holding up, consumer spending remains relatively resilient. House prices rise at a moderate pace against a backdrop of strong demographic growth. After one year, the unemployment rate is more favourable than in the base scenario (seven-tenths lower). Housing prices rise 7.7%, the S&P/TSX is at 22,156 points after one year, and the price of oil hovers around US$90.

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 significant layoffs. Given budgetary constraints, governments cannot support households and businesses as they did during the pandemic. The geopolitical situation continues to cause concern, with the risk of conflicts escalating. After 12 months, an economic contraction pushes the unemployment rate to 8.9%. Housing prices fall sharply (-13.9%) in the first year. The S&P/TSX sits at 15,852 points after one year, and the price of oil hovers around US$39.

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.

For additional information on covered bonds, see Note 27 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2023.

In addition, as at April 30, 2024, the Deposits - Business and government item also includes deposits of $22.4 billion ($17.7 billion as at October 31, 2023) 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.

Note 11 - Subordinated Debt

On February 5, 2024, the Bank issued medium-term notes for a total amount of $500 million. They bear interest at 5.279% and mature on February 15, 2034. The interest on these notes will be payable semi-annually at a rate of 5.279% per annum until February 15, 2029 and, thereafter, will be payable quarterly at a floating rate equal to Daily Compounded CORRA plus 1.80%. With the prior approval of OSFI, the Bank may, at its option, redeem these notes as of February 15, 2029, in whole or in part, at their nominal value plus accrued and unpaid interest. Given that the medium-term notes satisfy the non-viability contingent capital requirements, they qualify for the purposes of calculating regulatory capital under Basel III.

Repurchase of Common Shares

On December 12, 2023, 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 then outstanding common shares) over the 12-month period ending on December 11, 2024. On December 12, 2022, the Bank had begun a normal course issuer bid to repurchase for cancellation up to 7,000,000 common shares (representing approximately 2.1% of its then outstanding common shares) over the 12-month period ended December 11, 2023. 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 periods ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, the Bank did not repurchase any common shares.

Note 13 - Capital Disclosure

The Bank and all other major Canadian banks have to maintain the following minimum capital ratios established by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI): a CET1 capital ratio of at least 11.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 13.0%, and a Total capital ratio of at least 15.0%. All of these ratios include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and OSFI, a 1.0% surcharge applicable solely to Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs), and a 3.5% domestic stability buffer (DSB) established by OSFI. The DSB, which can vary from 0% to 4.0% of risk-weighted assets (RWA), 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 must provide a remediation plan to OSFI. The Bank also has to meet the requirements of the capital output floor calculated under the Basel III Standardized Approaches. OSFI is allowing a phase-in of the floor factor over three years, starting at 65.0% in the second quarter of 2023 and rising 2.5% per year to reach 72.5% in fiscal 2026. For fiscal 2024, the floor factor is set at 67.5%. If the capital requirement is less than the capital output floor requirement after applying the floor factor, the difference is added to the total RWA. Lastly, OSFI requires D-SIBs to maintain a Basel III leverage ratio of at least 3.5%, which includes 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 25.0% (including the DSB) of RWA and a TLAC leverage ratio of at least 7.25%. 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 first quarter of 2024, the Bank implemented OSFI's finalized guidance of the revised market risk capital rules, consistent with the BCBS's Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) as well as the revised credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risk framework.

During the quarter and six-month period ended April 30, 2024, the Bank was compliant with all of OSFI's regulatory capital, leverage, and TLAC requirements.

Note 16 - Income Taxes

Notice of Assessment

In April 2024, the Bank was reassessed by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for additional income tax and interest of approximately $110 million (including estimated provincial tax and interest) in respect of certain Canadian dividends received by the Bank during the 2019 taxation year.

In prior fiscal years, the Bank had been reassessed for additional income tax and interest of approximately $965 million (including provincial tax and interest) in respect of certain Canadian dividends received by the Bank during the 2012-2018 taxation years.

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

In October 2023, the Bank filed a notice of appeal with the Tax Court of Canada, and the matter is now in litigation. The CRA may issue reassessments to the Bank for taxation years subsequent to 2019 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, 2024.

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 included 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 as at January 31, 2023, 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 during the quarter ended January 31, 2023.

Proposed Legislation

On November 30, 2023, the Government of Canada introduced Bill C-59 - An Act to implement certain provisions of the fall economic statement tabled in Parliament on November 21, 2023 and certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023 to implement 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 (except for dividends received on "taxable preferred shares" as defined in the Income Tax Act), as well as the application of a 2% tax on the net value of equity repurchases occurring as of January 1, 2024. Although these tax measures were not substantively enacted at the reporting date, the consolidated financial statements reflect, since January 1, 2024, the denial of the deduction in respect of the dividends covered by Bill C-59.

On May 2, 2024, the Government of Canada introduced Bill C-69 - An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on April 16, 2024. The bill includes the Pillar 2 rules (global minimum tax) published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that will apply to fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2023 (November 1, 2024 for the Bank). To date, the Pillar 2 rules have been included in a bill or enacted in certain jurisdictions where the Bank operates. The Pillar 2 rules do not apply to this fiscal year, and the Bank is currently assessing its income tax exposure arising from these rules.

Note 17 - 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.

(1) Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to reflect accounting policy changes arising from the adoption of IFRS 17. For additional information, see Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements.

(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. During the quarter ended April 30, 2024, for the business segments as a whole, Net interest income was grossed up by $14 million ($76 million in 2023), Non-interest income was grossed up by $73 million ($56 million in 2023), and an equivalent amount was recognized in Income taxes (recovery). The effect of these adjustments is reversed under the Other heading. In light of the proposed legislation with respect to Canadian dividends, the Bank did not either recognize an income tax deduction or use the taxable equivalent basis method to adjust revenues related to affected dividends received after January 1, 2024 (for additional information, see Note 16).

(3) Represents the 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, 2024, for the business segments as whole, Net interest income was grossed up by $51 million ($154 million in 2023), Non-interest income was grossed up by $146 million ($108 million in 2023), and an equivalent amount was recognized in Income taxes (recovery). The effect of these adjustments has been reversed under the Other heading. In light of the proposed legislation with respect to Canadian dividends, the Bank did not either recognize an income tax deduction or use the taxable equivalent basis method to adjust revenues related to affected dividends received after January 1, 2024 (for additional information, see Note 16).

(5) During the six-month period ended April 30, 2023, the Bank had 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 included the impact related to current and deferred taxes for fiscal 2022. These items were recorded in the Other heading. For additional information on these tax measures, see Note 16.
