THE TORONTO-DOMINION BANK

EARNINGS COVERAGE ON SUBORDINATED NOTES AND DEBENTURES,

PREFERRED SHARES CLASSIFIED AS EQUITY, AND LIABILITIES FOR

PREFERRED SHARES AND OTHER EQUITY INSTRUMENTS AND CAPITAL TRUST SECURITIES

FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2022

TD Bank Group (“TD” or the “Bank”) dividend requirements on all its outstanding preferred shares and other equity instruments in respect of the twelve months ended October 31, 2022 and adjusted to a before-tax equivalent using an effective tax rate of 19.5% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2022, amounted to $321.5 million. The Bank’s interest and dividend requirements on all subordinated notes and debentures, preferred shares and liabilities for preferred shares and other equity instruments and capital trust securities, after adjustment for new issues and retirement, amounted to $731.1 million for the twelve months ended October 31, 2022. The Bank’s reported net income, before interest on subordinated debt and liabilities for preferred shares and capital trust securities and income taxes was $20,824 million for the twelve months ended October 31, 2022, which was 28.5 times the Bank’s aggregate dividend and interest requirement for this period.

On an adjusted basis, the Bank’s net income before interest on subordinated debt and liabilities for preferred shares and capital trust securities and income taxes for the twelve months ended October 31, 2022, was $18,244 million, which was 25.0 times the Bank’s aggregate dividend and interest requirement for this period.

The Bank prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS as the “reported” results. The Bank also utilizes non-GAAP financial measures such as “adjusted” results (i.e. reported results excluding “items of note”) and non-GAAP ratios to assess each of its businesses and measure overall Bank performance. The Bank believes that non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Bank’s performance. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios used in this presentation are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. See “Financial Results Overview” in the Bank’s 2022 MD&A (available at www.td.com/investor and www.sedar.com), which is incorporated by reference, for further explanation, reported basis results, a list of the items of note, and a reconciliation of adjusted to reported results.

“I’m extremely pleased with our earnings performance this quarter, which capped off a strong year demonstrating the benefit of our diversified business model and prudent risk and financial management,” said Bharat Masrani, President and CEO, TD Bank Group. “The strength and resilience of our franchise enabled the Bank to invest in our business and deliver for our shareholders.”

Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking delivered a strong quarter with record earnings from continued growth momentum

Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking finished the year in a position of strength with net income of $1,694 million, an increase of 11% compared with the fourth quarter last year reflecting higher margins and strong volume growth. Revenue growth of 16% resulted in a fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue.

The strong momentum in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking was supported by continued strength in customer acquisition and higher customer activity. The Personal Bank launched a banking package specifically created for International Students – a first among Canadian peers – contributing to record New to Canada growth. TD Canada Trust was ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction in Small Business Banking1” by J.D. Power, reflecting the trusted relationships built with our customers.

The U.S. Retail Bank delivered strong results supported by broad-based growth in its businesses

U.S. Retail reported net income for the quarter was $1,539 million (US$1,163 million), an increase of 12% (7% in U.S. dollars) compared with the fourth quarter last year.

The U.S. Retail Bank, which excludes the Bank’s investment in Schwab, reported net income of $1,229 million (US$926 million), an increase of 9% (3% in U.S. dollars) from the fourth quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, net income was a record $1,280 million (US$963 million).

TD BANK GROUP FOURTH QUARTER 2022 EARNINGS NEWS RELEASE     Page 1  


The U.S. Retail Bank was pleased to announce extended partnership agreements with Nordstrom through 2026 and Target Corporation through 2030. In addition, the Bank continued to modernize its distribution network with enhanced capabilities in sales and advice, including converting select retail stores to wealth advice centres, while expanding its presence in North Carolina and South Florida, including plans to open 15 new stores in Charlotte by 2025.

TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank® (TD AMCB), ranked No. 1 in its footprint by total number of approved U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loan units for the sixth consecutive year and ranked #2 National SBA Lender in 2022.

Wealth Management and Insurance delivered solid performance in the fourth quarter amid challenging market conditions

Wealth Management and Insurance net income was $516 million, a decrease of 15% compared with the fourth quarter last year. Insurance claims and related expenses rose 11%, reflecting increased driving activity and more severe weather-related events. This quarter’s results highlighted the benefits of the segment’s diversified business model as higher net interest income and insurance revenue largely offset the impact of market volatility and trading normalization.

Wealth Management and Insurance continued to deliver high quality advice and innovative financial products to help customers navigate the challenging economic environment. Wealth Management expanded its advisor base to better service mass affluent and high net worth client segments. TD Asset Management launched new investment solutions, including a carbon credit ETF and a multi-asset solution with exposure to alternative investments to enhance diversification for retail and institutional clients. TD Insurance continued its digital transformation, with over 20% of new sales this quarter completed digitally.

Solid Wholesale Banking performance reflects strength of diversified business model

Wholesale Banking reported net income for the quarter was $261 million, a decrease of 38%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, net income was $275 million, a decrease of 35%. Revenue was up 1%, as a challenging underwriting environment was offset by higher deposit, lending, and trading-related revenues, reflecting the strength of Wholesale Banking’s diversified business model.

This quarter, TD Securities launched a Carbon Advisory business within the ESG Solutions group, bolstering the team’s capabilities to support clients’ transitions to a low-carbon economy. As part of this effort, TD Securities announced a $10 million investment into the Boreal Wildlands Carbon Project – the largest single private conservation project ever undertaken in Canada – further demonstrating the Bank’s commitment to supporting the growth and development of the voluntary carbon markets.

Capital

TD’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 16.2%.

Conclusion

For the year ahead, there are both tailwinds (including the interest rate environment and the anticipated closing of the announced acquisitions) and headwinds (including geopolitical tensions, the complex operating environment, and the potential for an economic slowdown). On balance, unless macroeconomic conditions were to shift dramatically, TD expects to meet or exceed its medium-term adjusted EPS growth target range of 7-10% in fiscal 2023.

“We enter 2023 from a position of strength, with growing businesses and a powerful purpose-driven brand. While there will be macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges in the year ahead, the progress we made in 2022 gives me great confidence in our future success,” added Masrani.

“I would like to thank our colleagues around the world for living the TD brand and for their unwavering commitment to enriching the lives of our customers and our communities,” concluded Masrani.

The foregoing contains forward-looking statements. Please refer to the “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

From time to time, the Bank (as defined in this document) makes written and/or oral forward-looking statements, including in this document, in other filings with Canadian regulators or the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in other communications. In addition, representatives of the Bank may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. All such statements are made pursuant to the “safe harbour” provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under, applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements made in this document, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“2022 MD&A”) in the Bank’s 2022 Annual Report under the heading “Economic Summary and Outlook”, under the headings “Key Priorities for 2023” and “Operating Environment and Outlook” for the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, U.S. Retail, Wealth Management and Insurance, and Wholesale Banking segments, and under the heading “2022 Accomplishments and Focus for 2023” for the Corporate segment, and in other statements regarding the Bank’s objectives and priorities for 2023 and beyond and strategies to achieve them, the regulatory environment in which the Bank operates, and the Bank’s anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “will”, “would”, “should”, “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “goal”, “target”, “may”, and “could”.

By their very nature, these forward-looking statements require the Bank to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific. Especially in light of the uncertainty related to the physical, financial, economic, political, and regulatory environments, such risks and uncertainties – many of which are beyond the Bank’s control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict – may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause, individually or in the aggregate, such differences include: strategic, credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign exchange, interest rate, and credit spreads), operational (including technology, cyber security, and infrastructure), model, insurance, liquidity, capital adequacy, legal, regulatory compliance and conduct, reputational, environmental and social, and other risks. Examples of such risk factors include general business and economic conditions in the regions in which the Bank operates; geopolitical risk; inflation, rising rates and recession; the economic, financial, and other impacts of pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic; the ability of the Bank to execute on long-term strategies and shorter-term key strategic priorities, including the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions, business retention plans, and strategic plans; technology and cyber security risk (including cyber-attacks, data security breaches or technology failures) on the Bank’s information technology, internet, network access or other voice or data communications systems or services; model risk; fraud activity; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank or its affiliates, including relating to the care and control of information, and other risks arising from the Bank’s use of third-party service providers; the impact of new and changes to, or application of, current laws and regulations, including without limitation tax laws, capital guidelines and liquidity regulatory guidance; regulatory oversight and compliance risk; increased competition from incumbents and new entrants (including Fintechs and big technology competitors); shifts in consumer attitudes and disruptive technology; exposure related to significant litigation and regulatory matters; ability of the Bank to attract, develop, and retain key talent; changes to the Bank’s credit ratings; changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit spreads and equity prices; increased funding costs and market volatility due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; Interbank Offered Rate (IBOR) transition risk; critical accounting estimates and changes to accounting standards, policies, and methods used by the Bank; existing and potential international debt crises; environmental and social risk (including climate change); and the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events and claims resulting from such events. The Bank cautions that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect the Bank’s results. For more detailed information, please refer to the “Risk Factors and Management” section of the 2022 MD&A, as may be updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders and news releases (as applicable) related to any events or transactions discussed under the heading “Significant Acquisitions” or “Significant Events and Pending Acquisitions” in the relevant MD&A, which applicable releases may be found on www.td.com. All such factors, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements, should be considered carefully when making decisions with respect to the Bank. The Bank cautions readers not to place undue reliance on the Bank’s forward-looking statements.

Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document are set out in the 2022 MD&A under the heading “Economic Summary and Outlook”, under the headings “Key Priorities for 2023” and “Operating Environment and Outlook” for the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, U.S. Retail, Wealth Management and Insurance, and Wholesale Banking segments, and under the heading “2022 Accomplishments and Focus for 2023” for the Corporate segment, each as may be updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders.

Any forward-looking statements contained in this document represent the views of management only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting the Bank’s shareholders and analysts in understanding the Bank’s financial position, objectives and priorities and anticipated financial performance as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on its behalf, except as required under applicable securities legislation.

This document was reviewed by the Bank’s Audit Committee and was approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors, on the Audit Committee’s recommendation, prior to its release.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND PENDING ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Cowen Inc.

On August 2, 2022, the Bank and Cowen Inc. (“Cowen”) announced a definitive agreement for TD to acquire Cowen in an all-cash transaction valued at US$1.3 billion, or US$39.00 for each share of Cowen common stock. The Bank is currently planning to close the transaction in the first calendar quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions, including approvals from certain U.S., Canadian, and foreign regulatory authorities. Regulatory approvals are not within the Bank’s control. The results of the acquired business will be consolidated by the Bank from the closing date and reported in the Wholesale Banking segment. Based on the estimated financial performance and balance sheets of the Bank and Cowen, including transaction-related impacts, the Bank expects that its Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital ratio will be comfortably above 11% upon the closing of the Cowen acquisition, pro forma for the closing of the Bank’s acquisition of First Horizon Corporation (“First Horizon”).

Sale of Schwab Common Shares

On August 1, 2022, in order to provide the capital required for the acquisition of Cowen, the Bank sold 28.4 million non-voting common shares of The Charles Schwab Corporation (“Schwab”) at a price of US$66.53 per share for proceeds of $2.5 billion (US$1.9 billion). Approximately 15 million shares were sold to Schwab pursuant to a repurchase agreement at a price equal to the price obtained in the sale of 13.4 million shares sold to a broker dealer pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. All shares sold automatically converted into shares of Schwab voting common stock and the shares acquired by Schwab are no longer outstanding. The sales reduced the Bank’s ownership interest in Schwab from approximately 13.4% to 12.0%. The Bank recognized $997 million as other income (net of $368 million loss from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) reclassified to earnings), in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Acquisition of First Horizon Corporation

On February 28, 2022, the Bank and First Horizon announced a definitive agreement for the Bank to acquire First Horizon in an all-cash transaction valued at US$13.4 billion, or US$25.00 for each common share of First Horizon. In connection with this transaction, the Bank has invested US$494 million in non-voting First Horizon preferred stock (convertible in certain circumstances into up to 4.9% of First Horizon’s common stock). The Bank is currently planning to close the transaction in the first half of fiscal 2023, subject to customary closing conditions, including approvals from U.S. and Canadian regulatory authorities. Regulatory approvals are not within the Bank’s control. The results of the acquired business will be consolidated by the Bank from the closing date and reported in the U.S. Retail segment.

First Horizon shareholders will receive, at closing, an additional US$0.65 per share on an annualized basis for the period from November 27, 2022 through the day immediately prior to the closing. Either party will have the right to terminate the agreement if the transaction has not closed by February 27, 2023 (the “outside date”), subject to the right of either party (under certain conditions) to extend the outside date to May 27, 2023.

During the year, the Bank implemented a strategy to mitigate interest rate volatility to capital on closing of the acquisition.

The fair value of First Horizon’s fixed rate financial assets and liabilities and certain intangible assets are sensitive to interest rate changes. The fair value of net assets will determine the amount of goodwill to be recognized on closing of the acquisition. Increases in goodwill and intangibles will negatively impact capital ratios because they are deducted from capital under OSFI Basel III rules. In order to mitigate this volatility to closing capital, the Bank de-designated certain interest rate swaps hedging fixed income investments in fair value hedge accounting relationships.

After the de-designation, mark-to-market gains (losses) on these swaps are recognized in earnings, without any corresponding offset from the previously hedged investments. Such gains (losses) will mitigate the capital impact from changes in the amount of goodwill recognized on closing of the acquisition. The de-designation also triggered the amortization of the investments’ basis adjustment to net interest income over the remaining expected life of the investments.

For the year ended October 31, 2022, the Bank reported $1,487 million in non-interest income related to the mark-to-market on the swaps, and $154 million in net interest income related to the basis adjustment amortization. In addition, for the year ended October 31, 2022, the Bank reported $121 million in non-interest income related to the net interest earned on the swaps since the de-designation of the hedge accounting relationships.

HOW WE PERFORMED

ECONOMIC SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK

The outlook for the global economy for the next two years was downgraded relative to the prior quarter. In Europe, an energy crisis continues to impact household finances and weigh on industrial output. China is reckoning with the fallout of its real estate slowdown and strict COVID-19 controls. In North America, COVID-19 is causing fewer supply chain disruptions, but the legacy of high domestic inflation and tight labour markets has led to central banks raising policy rates at the fastest pace in roughly four decades. This has significantly weakened the economic growth prospects over the next twelve to twenty-four months.

The U.S. economy expanded by 2.6% annualized in the third calendar quarter of 2022, after having contracted in the first half of the year. However, this was largely due to a surge in exports relative to imports. In contrast, domestic demand grew by a soft 0.5%. Consumer spending growth decelerated to 1.4% relative to the prior calendar quarter of 2.0%, as inflation continued to weigh on the purchasing power of households, which are also normalizing spending away from goods after a surge during the pandemic. The ongoing downturn in housing also weighed on the economy in the third calendar quarter, subtracting 1.4 percentage points from growth.

As the lagged effect of interest rate increases is expected to continue to feed through the economy in 2023, it should lead to some cooling in the job market, where the unemployment rate was 3.7% in October, near a cyclical low. Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation has shown modest signs of cooling, but at 7.7% year-over-year in October, it is still close to 40-year highs. Slower global growth and a high U.S. dollar are expected to help goods inflation ease, while services inflation is likely to prove more persistent.

The Federal Reserve continued its aggressive pace of rate increases, with a fourth 75 basis points (bps) hike in early November. TD Economics expects further interest rate hikes will take the Federal Funds rate to a range of 4.50-5.00% in calendar 2023. This historically large increase in interest rates raises the risk that the economy will slow more quickly and trigger an outright recession. Financial markets have reflected this risk with the yield curve inverting.

The Canadian economy has begun to slow after growing at a very healthy pace in the first half of the year. The interest-rate sensitive housing market was the first area of the economy to respond to the Bank of Canada’s rapid increase in the policy rate. As of October, home sales were down 40% from the peak in February of this year. Housing demand is expected to cool further as higher interest rates continue to weigh on affordability. Canadian inflation has begun to decelerate but remained high at 6.9% year-over-year in October. The labour market has also remained quite strong through October, although TD Economics expects job market conditions to ease in the coming quarters, in line with weaker demand in the broader economy.

The Bank of Canada raised its overnight interest rate by 50 bps in October, to 3.75%. TD Economics expects further increases in the overnight rate to a range of 4.25-4.50% in calendar 2023. With interest rates expected to increase to a lesser degree in Canada than in the United States, the Canadian dollar may reach a low of 70 U.S. cents in the first half of calendar 2023.

HOW THE BANK REPORTS

The Bank prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS, the current GAAP, and refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS as “reported” results.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

In addition to reported results, the Bank also presents certain financial measures, including non-GAAP financial measures that are historical, non-GAAP ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures, to assess its results. Non-GAAP financial measures, such as “adjusted” results, are utilized to assess the Bank’s businesses and to measure the Bank’s overall performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank adjusts for “items of note”, from reported results. Items of note are items which management does not believe are indicative of underlying business performance and are disclosed in Table 3. Non-GAAP ratios include a non-GAAP financial measure as one or more of its components. Examples of non-GAAP ratios include adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted dividend payout ratio, adjusted efficiency ratio, and adjusted effective income tax rate. The Bank believes that non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Bank’s performance. Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios used in this document are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. Supplementary financial measures depict the Bank’s financial performance and position, and capital management measures depict the Bank’s capital position, and both are explained in this document where they first appear.

U.S. Strategic Cards

The Bank’s U.S. strategic cards portfolio is comprised of agreements with certain U.S. retailers pursuant to which TD is the U.S. issuer of private label and co-branded consumer credit cards to their U.S. customers. Under the terms of the individual agreements, the Bank and the retailers share in the profits generated by the relevant portfolios after credit losses. Under IFRS, TD is required to present the gross amount of revenue and provisions for credit losses (PCL) related to these portfolios in the Bank’s Consolidated Statement of Income. At the segment level, the retailer program partners’ share of revenues and credit losses is presented in the Corporate segment, with an offsetting amount (representing the partners’ net share) recorded in Non-interest expenses, resulting in no impact to Corporate’s reported Net income (loss). The Net income (loss) included in the U.S. Retail segment includes only the portion of revenue and credit losses attributable to TD under the agreements.

Investment in The Charles Schwab Corporation

On October 6, 2020, the Bank acquired an approximately 13.5% stake in Schwab following the completion of Schwab’s acquisition of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (“TD Ameritrade”) of which the Bank was a major shareholder (the “Schwab transaction”). On August 1, 2022, the Bank sold 28.4 million non-voting common shares of Schwab, which reduced the Bank’s ownership interest in Schwab to approximately 12.0%. For further details, refer to Note 12 of the 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank’s share of Schwab’s earnings is reported with a one-month lag, and the Bank started recording its share of Schwab’s earnings on this basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The U.S. Retail segment reflects the Bank’s share of net income from its investment in Schwab. The Corporate segment net income (loss) includes amounts for amortization of acquired intangibles and the acquisition and integration charges related to the Schwab transaction.

On November 25, 2019, the Bank and Schwab entered into an insured deposit account agreement (the “Schwab IDA Agreement”), which became effective upon closing of the Schwab transaction and has an initial expiration date of July 1, 2031. Refer to the “Related Party Transactions” section in the 2022 MD&A for further details.

RETURN ON COMMON EQUITY

The consolidated Bank ROE is calculated as reported net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity. The consolidated Bank adjusted ROE is calculated as adjusted net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity. Adjusted ROE is a non-GAAP ratio, and can be utilized in assessing the Bank’s use of equity.

ROE for the business segments is calculated as the segment net income attributable to common shareholders as a percentage of average allocated capital. The Bank’s methodology for allocating capital to its business segments is largely aligned with the common equity capital requirements under Basel III. Capital allocated to the business segments increased to 10.5% CET1 Capital effective the first quarter of 2022 compared with 9% in fiscal 2021.

RETURN ON TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY

Tangible common equity (TCE) is calculated as common shareholders’ equity less goodwill, imputed goodwill and intangibles on the investments in Schwab and other acquired intangible assets, net of related deferred tax liabilities. ROTCE is calculated as reported net income available to common shareholders after adjusting for the after-tax amortization of acquired intangibles, which are treated as an item of note, as a percentage of average TCE. Adjusted ROTCE is calculated using reported net income available to common shareholders, adjusted for all items of note, as a percentage of average TCE. TCE, ROTCE, and adjusted ROTCE can be utilized in assessing the Bank’s use of equity. TCE is a non-GAAP financial measure, and ROTCE and adjusted ROTCE are non-GAAP ratios.

HOW OUR BUSINESSES PERFORMED

For management reporting purposes, commencing the fourth quarter of 2022, the Bank’s operations and activities are organized around the following four key business segments: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, U.S. Retail, Wealth Management and Insurance, and Wholesale Banking. The Bank’s other activities are grouped into the Corporate segment. The comparative period information has been adjusted to reflect the new segment alignment.

Results of each business segment reflect revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities generated by the businesses in that segment. Where applicable, the Bank measures and evaluates the performance of each segment based on adjusted results and ROE, and for those segments the Bank indicates that the measure is adjusted. For further details, refer to Note 29 of the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2022.

PCL related to performing (Stage 1 and Stage 2) and impaired (Stage 3) financial assets, loan commitments, and financial guarantees is recorded within the respective segment.

Net interest income within Wholesale Banking is calculated on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB), which means that the value of non-taxable or tax-exempt income, including dividends, is adjusted to its equivalent before-tax value. Using TEB allows the Bank to measure income from all securities and loans consistently and makes for a more meaningful comparison of net interest income with similar institutions. The TEB increase to net interest income and provision for income taxes reflected in Wholesale Banking results is reversed in the Corporate segment. The TEB adjustment for the quarter was $36 million, compared with $36 million in the fourth quarter last year, and $41 million in the prior quarter.

Share of net income from investment in Schwab is reported in the U.S. Retail segment. Amounts for amortization of acquired intangibles and the acquisition and integration charges related to the Schwab transaction are recorded in the Corporate segment.

Includes AUA administered by TD Investor Services, which is part of the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking segment.

Quarterly comparison – Q4 2022 vs. Q4 2021

Wealth Management and Insurance net income for the quarter was $516 million, a decrease of $92 million, or 15%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, reflecting lower non-interest income in the wealth management business and higher claims in the insurance business, partially offset by higher net interest income. The annualized ROE for the quarter was 39.5%, compared with 51.4%, in the fourth quarter last year.

Revenue for the quarter was $2,631 million, a decrease of $35 million, or 1%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Non-interest income was $2,359 million, a decrease of $108 million, or 4%, reflecting lower transaction and fee-based revenue in the wealth management business and a decrease in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar decrease in insurance claims, partially offset by higher insurance premiums. Net interest income was $272 million, an increase of $73 million, or 37%, reflecting volume growth and higher margins.

AUA were $517 billion as at October 31, 2022, a decrease of $40 billion, or 7%, and AUM were $397 billion as at October 31, 2022, a decrease of $30 billion, or 7%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, both reflecting market depreciation, partially offset by net asset growth.

Insurance claims and related expenses were $723 million, an increase of $73 million, or 11%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, reflecting increased driving activity, inflationary costs and more severe weather-related events, partially offset by favourable prior years’ claims development and the impact of a higher discount rate which resulted in a similar decrease in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities reported in non-interest income.

Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $1,208 million, an increase of $16 million, or 1%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, reflecting higher spend supporting business growth, including higher employee-related expenses and technology costs, largely offset by the impact of lower legal provisions and variable compensation.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter was 45.9%, compared with 44.7% in the fourth quarter last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q4 2022 vs. Q3 2022

Wealth Management and Insurance net income for the quarter was $516 million, a decrease of $59 million, or 10%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting lower revenue and higher non-interest expenses, partially offset by lower insurance claims and related expenses. The annualized ROE for the quarter was 39.5%, compared with 44.6%, in the prior quarter.

Revenue decreased $129 million, or 5%, compared with the prior quarter. Non-interest income decreased $152 million, or 6%, reflecting lower transaction and fee-based revenue in the wealth management business, lower insurance premiums and a decrease in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar decrease in insurance claims. Net interest income increased $23 million, or 9%, reflecting higher margins.

AUA decreased $9 billion, or 2% compared with the prior quarter, reflecting market depreciation, partially offset by net asset growth. AUM decreased $11 billion, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily reflecting market depreciation.

Insurance claims and related expenses decreased $106 million, or 13%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting the impact of a higher discount rate which resulted in a similar decrease in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities reported in non-interest income, favourable prior years’ claims development and current year claims experience.

Non-interest expenses for the quarter increased $58 million, or 5%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting higher spend supporting business growth, including marketing and technology costs and higher employee-related expenses.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter was 45.9%, compared with 41.7% in the prior quarter.

Quarterly comparison – Q4 2022 vs. Q4 2021

Corporate segment’s reported net income for the quarter was $2,661 million, compared with reported net loss of $150 million in the fourth quarter last year. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects gains from mitigation of interest rate volatility to closing capital on First Horizon acquisition and from the sale of Schwab shares, lower net corporate expenses, and a higher contribution from other items. The decrease in net corporate expenses largely reflects corporate real estate optimization costs in the prior year. The increase in other items primarily reflects the favourable tax impact of earnings mix and the recognition of unused tax losses, partially offset by lower revenue from treasury and balance sheet management activities this quarter. The adjusted net loss for the quarter was $10 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $65 million in the fourth quarter last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q4 2022 vs. Q3 2022

Corporate segment’s reported net income for the quarter was $2,661 million, compared with reported net loss of $752 million in the prior quarter. The quarter-over-quarter increase primarily reflects gains from mitigation of interest rate volatility to closing capital on First Horizon acquisition and from the sale of Schwab shares, lower net corporate expenses, and a higher contribution from other items. The increase in other items primarily reflects the favourable tax impact of earnings mix and the recognition of unused tax losses, partially offset by lower revenue from treasury and balance sheet management activities this quarter. The adjusted net loss for the quarter was $10 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $175 million in the prior quarter.

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries (TD) which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at October 31, 2022 and 2021, and the Consolidated Statement of Income, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of TD as at October 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of TD in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the year ended October 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

     Allowance for credit losses
Key audit matter   

TD describes its significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions in relation to the allowance for credit losses in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, TD recognized $7,366 million in allowances for credit losses on its consolidated balance sheet using an expected credit loss model (ECL). The ECL is an unbiased and probability-weighted estimate of credit losses expected to occur in the future, which is based on the probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD) or the expected cash shortfall relating to the underlying financial asset. The ECL is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes incorporating the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions, and future economic forecasts. ECL allowances are measured at amounts equal to either (i) 12-month ECL; or (ii) lifetime ECL for those financial instruments that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) since initial recognition or when there is objective evidence of impairment.

 

Auditing the allowance for credit losses was complex and required the application of significant judgment and involvement of specialists because of the sophistication of the models, the forward-looking nature of the key assumptions, and the inherent interrelationship of the critical variables used in measuring the ECL. Key areas of judgment include evaluating: (i) the models and methodologies used for measuring both the 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses; (ii) the assumptions used in the ECL scenarios including forward-looking information (FLI) and assigning probability weighting; (iii) the determination of SICR; and (iv) the assessment of the qualitative component applied to the modelled ECL based on management’s expert credit judgment.

How our audit

addressed the

key audit matter

  

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of management’s controls over the allowance for credit losses. The controls we tested included, amongst others, the development and validation of models and selection of appropriate inputs including economic forecasting, determination of non-retail borrower risk ratings, the integrity of the data used including the associated controls over relevant information technology (IT) systems, and the governance and oversight over the modelled results and the use of expert credit judgment.

 

To test the allowance for credit losses, our audit procedures included, amongst others, involving our credit risk specialists to assess whether the methodology and assumptions, including management’s SICR triggers, used in significant models that estimate the ECL across various portfolios are consistent with the requirements of IFRS. This included reperforming the model validation procedures for a sample of models to evaluate whether management’s conclusions were appropriate. With the assistance of our economic specialists, we evaluated the models, methodology and process used by management to develop the FLI variable forecasts for each scenario and the scenario probability weights. For a sample of FLI variables, we compared management’s FLI to independently derived forecasts and publicly available information. On a sample basis, we recalculated the ECL to test the mathematical accuracy of management’s models. We tested the completeness and accuracy of data used in measuring the ECL by agreeing to source documents and systems and evaluated a sample of management’s non-retail borrower risk ratings against TD’s risk rating policy. With the assistance of our credit risk specialists, we also evaluated management’s methodology and governance over the application of expert credit judgment by evaluating that the amounts recorded were reflective of underlying credit quality and macroeconomic trends. We also assessed the adequacy of disclosures related to the allowance for credit losses.

     Fair value measurement of derivatives
Key audit matter    TD describes its significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions in relation to the fair value measurement of derivatives in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements, TD has derivative assets of $103,873 million and derivative liabilities of $91,133 million recorded at fair value. Certain of these

derivatives are complex and illiquid and require valuation techniques that may include complex models and non-observable inputs, requiring management’s estimation and judgment.

 

Auditing the valuation of certain derivatives required the application of significant auditor judgment and involvement of valuation specialists in assessing the complex models and non-observable inputs used, including any significant valuation adjustments applied. Certain valuation inputs used to determine fair value that may be non-observable include volatilities, correlations, and credit spreads. The valuation of certain derivatives is sensitive to these inputs as they are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

How our audit

addressed the

key audit matter

  

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of management’s controls, including the associated controls over relevant IT systems, over the valuation of TD’s derivative portfolio. The controls we tested included, amongst others, the controls over the suitability and mechanical accuracy of models used in the valuation of derivatives, controls over management’s independent assessment of fair values, including the integrity of data used in the valuation such as the significant inputs noted above, and controls over the review of significant valuation adjustments applied.

 

To test the valuation of these derivatives, our audit procedures included, amongst others, an evaluation of the methodologies and significant inputs used by TD. With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we performed an independent valuation for a sample of derivatives to assess the modelling assumptions and significant inputs used to estimate the fair value, which involved obtaining significant inputs from independent external sources. For a sample of valuation adjustments, we utilized the assistance of our valuation specialists to evaluate the methodology applied and performed a recalculation of these adjustments. We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related to the fair value measurement of derivatives.

     Valuation of provision for unpaid claims
Key audit matter   

TD describes its significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions in relation to the valuation of provisions for unpaid claims in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements, TD has recognized $7,468 million in insurance-related liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet. The insurance-related liabilities include a provision for unpaid claims, which is determined in accordance with accepted actuarial practices.

 

Auditing the provision for unpaid claims required the application of significant judgement and involved the use of specialists due to the complex nature of the models, methodologies and assumptions applied in the determination of the provision. Claims liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices. The main assumption underlying the estimate of the claims liability is that past claims development experience can be used to project future claims development and therefore ultimate claim costs. Actuarial methods are applied to extrapolate the development of paid and incurred losses, frequency and severity of claims based on the observed development of earlier years and expected loss ratios. Additional qualitative judgement is applied to assess the extent to which past trends may or may not apply in the future to arrive at the estimated ultimate claims costs that present the most likely outcome taking into account all the uncertainties involved.

How our audit

addressed the

key audit matter

  

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of management’s controls over the valuation of the provision for unpaid claims including the associated controls over relevant IT systems. The controls we tested included, amongst others, the controls related to TD’s claims and actuarial processes including over the completeness and accuracy of data flow through the claims administration systems, and the overall review of the provision for unpaid claims by management.

 

We evaluated the objectivity, independence and expertise of the actuarial valuator appointed by management. To test the valuation for unpaid claims, our audit procedures included, amongst others, involving our actuarial specialists to independently calculate the provision for unpaid claims on a sample basis. This included assessing the accuracy of TD’s data by agreeing to source systems on a sample basis and benchmarking the assumptions against industry trends. With the assistance of our actuarial specialists, we assessed TD’s actuary’s methodologies and significant assumptions, including comparing the rationale for the judgments applied against generally accepted actuarial practices. We also performed data integrity testing of incurred claims, paid claims, and earned premiums used in the estimation of the provision for unpaid claims.

     Measurement of provision for uncertain tax positions
Key audit matter   

TD describes its significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions in relation to income taxes in Note 3 and Note 25 of the consolidated financial statements. As a financial institution operating in multiple jurisdictions, TD is subject to complex and constantly evolving tax legislation. Uncertainty in a tax position may arise as tax laws are subject to interpretation. TD uses significant judgment in i) determining whether it is probable that TD will have to make a payment to tax authorities upon their examination of certain uncertain tax positions and ii) measuring the amount of the liability.

 

Auditing TD’s provision for uncertain tax positions involved the application of judgment and is based on interpretation of tax legislation and jurisprudence.

How our audit

addressed the

key audit matter

  

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of management’s controls over TD’s provision for uncertain tax positions. The controls we tested included, amongst others, the controls over the assessment of the technical merits of tax positions and management’s process to measure the provision for uncertain tax positions.

 

With the assistance of our tax professionals, we assessed the technical merits and the amount recorded for uncertain tax positions. Our audit procedures included, amongst others, using our knowledge of, and experience with, the application of tax laws by the relevant income tax authorities to evaluate TD’s interpretations and assessment of tax laws with respect to uncertain tax positions. We assessed the implications of correspondence received by TD from the relevant tax authorities and evaluated income tax opinions or other third-party advice obtained. We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related to uncertain tax positions.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis; and

 

The information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the 2022 Annual Report.

 

TD BANK GROUP 2022 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES     Page 2  


Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the 2022 Annual Report prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing TD’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate TD or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing TD’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of TD’s internal control.

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on TD’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause TD to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within TD to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Helen Mitchell.
