Higher net interest income in Canadian (1) Excludes Other segment Banking was driven by an increase in both average earning assets and the margin.

There was strong loan growth in Latin America, including 13% in Mexico and 14% in Colombia. C6 Net fee and commission revenues Net fee and commission revenue was $820 million or 12% higher than last year, including by business line(1) $99 million from the positive impact of foreign currency translation. Strong growth in wealth $ millions management revenues, banking revenues and underwriting and other advisory fees all 10000 contributed to this increase. Wealth management revenues increased from higher mutual fund 8000 fees and brokerage revenues. Growth in banking revenues was widespread with increases in 6000 credit cards, deposit and payment services, credit fees and cash management fees. Underwriting and other advisory fees increased primarily from significant growth in equity and debt issues and 4000 from increased advisory activities in investment banking. 2000 Other operating income (TEB), adjusting for notable items, was up $154 million or 5%. The 12 13 14 increase was primarily from higher net gains on investment securities, largely offset by lower trading revenues, primarily in fixed income, and lower earnings from investments in associated Canadian Banking corporations mainly due to the disposition. International Banking Global Wealth & Insurance Global Banking & Markets Net Interest Income

(1) Excludes Other segment Net interest income (TEB) was $12,322 million, an increase of $957 million or 8% from the prior year, driven primarily by a 5% increase in core earning assets and an eight basis point widening of the core banking margin.

12 13 14 Banking. Partly offsetting was margin compression in Global Banking & Markets. International Banking did not have any impact on the Bank’s core margin, as the narrower margin in Average Core Banking Assets International Banking was offset by the increase in asset volumes. Core Banking Margin (%) Canadian Banking margin increased five basis points to 2.09%, mainly from higher mortgage, credit card and credit line spreads, as well as strong growth in higher spread assets, including credit cards. Partially offsetting were lower spreads on core deposits and business accounts as a C8 Other operating income by business line(1) result of the low rate environment. TEB, $ millions 4000 International Banking margin fell from 4.11% to 4.00% due to narrower margins across all regions. 3000 Global Banking & Markets margin fell primarily due to lower loan origination fees and lower 2000 performing loan spreads in U.S. corporate lending.

1000 Outlook The Bank’s net interest income is expected to increase in 2015 mainly from moderate growth in 12 13 14 core banking assets, a wider margin, as well as the impact of acquisitions expected to close in 2015.

The increase in mutual fund fees of $188 million or 15% reflects higher average assets under management due to strong net sales and favourable market conditions. Brokerage fees were up $95 million or 11% primarily from an increase in fee-based assets in the full service brokerage business. Investment management and custody fees increased $9 million or 6%, primarily from higher assets under management in Global Wealth & Insurance. Underwriting and other advisory fees were up year over year $209 million, or 42%, primarily from higher advisory fees in investment banking and from growth in equity and debt underwriting activity. Non-trading foreign exchange fees were up $16 million or 4% to $420 million mainly from higher revenues in International Banking.

Commencing the first quarter of 2013, OSFI required Canadian to the Risk Management section on page 65 for further discussion on deposit-taking institutions to fully implement the 2019 Basel III reforms, the Bank’s risk management framework.

The amount of capital required for the business risks being assumed, and to Regulatory developments related to capital meet regulatory requirements, is balanced against the goal of In addition to risk-based capital requirements, the Basel III reforms generating an appropriate return for the Bank’s shareholders. introduced a simpler, non risk-based Leverage ratio requirement to act as a supplementary measure to its risk-based capital requirements. The Capital generation Leverage ratio is defined as a ratio of Basel III Tier 1 capital to a Capital is generated internally through net earnings after dividend leverage exposure measure which includes on-balance sheet assets and payments. As well, capital is generated by the issuance of common off-balance sheet commitments, derivatives and securities financing shares, preferred shares, and Tier 2 subordinated debentures. transactions, as defined within the requirements. Capital utilization In January 2014, the BCBS issued revisions to the Basel III Leverage ratio The Bank deploys capital to support sustainable, long-term revenue and framework. Revisions to the framework related primarily to the net income growth. The growth can be through existing businesses by exposure measure, i.e. the denominator of the ratio, and consist mainly attracting new customers, increasing cross-selling activities to existing of: lower credit conversion factors for certain off-balance sheet customers, adding new products and enhancing sales productivity, or commitments; further clarification on the treatment for derivatives, through acquisitions. All major initiatives to deploy capital are subject to related collateral, and securities financing transactions; additional rigorous analysis, validation of business case assumptions and evaluation requirements for written credit derivatives; and, minimum public of expected benefits. Key financial criteria include impact on earnings disclosure requirements commencing January 2015. The final per share, capital ratios, return on invested capital, expected payback calibration will be completed by 2017, with a view to migrating to a period and internal rate of return based on discounted cash flows.

The Bank continued to issue common shares through its Bank’s strategy, identified changes in its operating environment or Dividend Reinvestment (DRIP), stock option and share purchase plans; changes in its risk profile. As part of the Bank’s comprehensive ICAAP, however, the Bank eliminated the 2% discount on the DRIP and sources and uses of capital are continuously measured and monitored initiated share repurchases through its Normal Course Issuer Bid through financial metrics, including regulatory thresholds, and program during the year to manage its capital levels.

C22 Tier 1 capital* %, as at October 31 Regulatory Capital Components 14 Bank regulatory capital is divided into three components – Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1 12 capital and Tier 2 capital, depending on their degree of permanency and loss absorbency. All 10 components of capital provide support for banking operations and protect depositors. 8 CET1, consists primarily of common shareholders’ equity, a proration of non-controlling interests, 6 and regulatory deductions. These regulatory deductions include goodwill, intangible assets (net 4 of deferred tax liabilities), deferred tax assets that rely on future profitability, defined-benefit 2 pension fund net assets, shortfall of credit provision to expected losses and significant 1011 12 13 14 investments in the common equity of other financial institutions. * Amounts prior to 2012 are calculated under Basel II and Additional Tier 1 capital consists primarily of qualifying non-cumulative preferred shares or amounts prior to 2011 calculated under CGAAP non-qualifying preferred shares and innovative tier 1 instruments subject to phase-out. Tier 2 capital consists mainly of qualifying or non-qualifying subordinated debentures subject to phase-out and the eligible allowances for credit losses. The Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital was $33.7 billion as at October 31, 2014, an increase C23 Dividend growth dollars per share of $7.4 billion from the prior year primarily from: • $3.8 billion growth from internal capital generation. Over the past 5 years, the Bank’s level of 3 internal capital generation has been consistently strong;

2 • $3.7 billion from lower capital deductions, mainly due to the sale of the Bank’s investment in CI Financial Corp.; 1 • $0.5 billion increase from common share issuances issued through the Bank’s Dividend Reinvestment Program and Share Purchase Plans net of share repurchases under the Bank’s

In addition, revisions to OSFI’s Capital Adequacy Requirements Guideline for the 0.5 collective allowance reduced Total Capital by $0.5 billion. 1011 12 13 14 Dividends * Amounts prior to 2011 calculated under CGAAP The strong earnings and capital position of the Bank allowed the Bank to increase its dividends twice in 2014. The annual dividend payout in 2014 was $2.56, compared to $2.39 in 2013, an increase of 7%. The Bank’s Board has approved target dividend payout ratio of 40-50%. Adjusting for notable items, in 2014 the dividend payout ratio was 46.9%, compared to 47.1% in 2013. T29 Selected capital management activity

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements Canadian multi-seller conduits administered by the Bank In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into contractual The Bank sponsors two Canadian-based multi-seller conduits that are arrangements with entities that are either consolidated or not required not consolidated. The Bank earned commercial paper issuance fees, to be consolidated in its financial statements, but could have a current program management fees, liquidity fees and other fees from these or future impact on the Bank’s financial performance or financial multi-seller conduits, which totaled $18 million in 2014, compared to condition. These arrangements can be classified into the following $15 million in 2013. These multi-seller conduits purchase high-quality categories: structured entities, securitizations and guarantees and other financial assets and finance these assets through the issuance of highly commitments. rated commercial paper. As further described below, the Bank’s exposure to these off-balance Structured entities sheet conduits primarily consists of liquidity support and temporary Arrangements with structured entities include structured entities that holdings of commercial paper. Although the Bank has power over the are used to provide a wide range of services to customers, such as relevant activities of the conduits, it has limited exposure to variability structured entities established to allow clients to securitize their financial in returns, which results in the Bank not consolidating the two assets while facilitating cost-efficient financing, and to provide certain Canadian conduits. The Bank has a process to monitor these exposures investment opportunities. The Bank creates, administers and manages and significant events impacting the conduits to ensure there is no personal and corporate trusts on behalf of its customers. The Bank also change in control, which could require the Bank to consolidate the sponsors and actively manages certain structured entities (see discussion assets and liabilities of the conduits at fair value. on other unconsolidated structured entities on page 51).

The Other segment includes Group Treasury, smaller operating segments and other corporate items which are not allocated to a business line.

Financial performance The Other segment had a net income attributable to equity holders of $101 million in 2014, compared to a net loss of $160 million in 2013. This year’s net income was reduced by notable items of $62 million (refer T44). Net interest income, other operating income, and the provision for income taxes in each period include the elimination of tax-exempt income gross-up. This amount is included in the operating segments, which are reported on a taxable equivalent basis. The elimination was $354 million in 2014, compared to $312 million in 2013. Net income from investments in associated corporations and the provision for income taxes in each period include the tax normalization adjustments related to the gross-up of income from associated corporations. This adjustment normalizes the effective tax rate in the divisions to better present the contribution of the associated corporations to the divisional results.

Revenues Net interest income was $89 million this year, an improvement of $277 million from 2013 mainly due to higher revenues from asset/liability management activities partly reflecting maturing high- rate debentures and deposits which were replaced with funding at lower rates. Net fees and commission revenues was negative $281 million in 2014, compared to negative $196 million in 2013. The decrease was mainly due to the offset to revenues reported in the other operating segments. This offset had no impact on the Bank’s consolidated results. Other operating income was $117 million in 2014, compared to negative $60 million last year. The increase was almost entirely due to higher net gains of $176 million on investment securities year over year.

Operating expenses Adjusting for notable items, operating expenses were a credit of $82 million in 2014, compared to a credit of $57 million last year. The increase was due to higher inter-segment offsets in 2014 with no impact on the Bank’s consolidated results. Partly offsetting was the business-related tax recoveries in 2013.

Limits are reviewed at least annually. The risk of loss due to changes in the level and/or the volatility of Global Risk Management provides independent oversight of all interest rates. This risk affects instruments such as, but not limited to, significant market risks, supporting the MRMPC and LCO with analysis, debt securities, loans, mortgages, deposits and derivatives. risk measurement, monitoring, reporting, proposals for standards and Interest rate risks are managed through sensitivity, gap, stress testing, support for new product development. To ensure compliance with annual income and VaR limits and mitigated through portfolio policies and limits, market risk exposures are independently monitored diversification and hedges using interest rate derivatives and debt on a continuing basis, either by Global Risk Management, the back securities. offices, or Finance. They provide senior management, business units, the LCO, and the MRMPC with a series of daily, weekly and monthly Credit spread risk reports of market risk exposures by business line and risk type. The risk of loss due to changes in the market price and volatility of The Bank uses a variety of metrics and models to measure and control credit, or the creditworthiness of issuers. This risk is mainly market risk exposures. These measurements are selected based on an concentrated in loan and debt securities portfolios. Risk is managed assessment of the nature of risks in a particular activity. The principal through sensitivity, jump-to-default, stress testing and VaR limits and measurement techniques are Value at Risk (VaR), Incremental Risk mitigated through hedges using credit derivatives.

This means that once in every Equity risk 100 days, the trading positions are expected to lose more than the VaR estimate. VaR has two components: general market risk and debt The risk of loss due to changes in prices, volatility or any other equity specific risk. The Bank calculates general market risk VaR using related risk factor of individual equity or equity linked securities. This historical simulation based on 300 days of market data. Obligor specific risk affects instruments such as, but not limited to, equities, exchange risk on debt instruments and credit derivatives not captured in general traded funds, mutual funds, derivatives and other equity linked market risk VaR is calculated through the debt specific risk VaR, which products.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Impairment of investment securities Employee benefits Investment securities are evaluated for impairment at the end of each The Bank sponsors various pension and other benefit plans for eligible reporting date, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances employees in Canada, the U.S., and other international operations.

In the case of debt instruments classified as available-for-sale and Employee benefit expense and the related benefit obligation are held-to-maturity investment securities, impairment is assessed based on calculated using actuarial methods and certain actuarial assumptions. the same criteria as impairment of loans. These assumptions are based on management’s best estimate and are When a decline in value of available-for-sale debt or equity instrument reviewed and approved annually. The management assumption with is due to impairment, the value of the security is written down to fair the greatest potential impact is the discount rate. This rate is used for value.

The net unrealized gains after hedge amounts were $847 income taxes and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

This unrealized loss was comprised of $23 million (2013 – management’s interpretations of the legislation differ from those of the $26 million) in debt securities, $59 million (2013 – $44 million) related tax authorities or if the actual timing of the reversals of the deferred to preferred shares and $8 million (2013 – $14 million) related to income tax assets and liabilities is not as anticipated, the provision for common shares. The unrealized losses on the debt securities arose income taxes could increase or decrease in future periods. primarily from changes in interest rates and credit spreads. For debt securities, based on a number of considerations, including underlying Total deferred tax assets related to the Bank’s unused income tax losses credit of the issuers, the Bank expects that future interest and principal from operations arising in prior years were $620 million as at payments will continue to be received on a timely basis in accordance October 31, 2014 (October 31, 2013 – $756 million). The tax related to with the contractual terms of the security. temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits for which no deferred tax asset is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position amounted to $338 million (2013 – $279 million). The amount related to unrecognized tax losses was $38 million, which will expire as follows: $20 million in 2018 and beyond and $18 million have no fixed expiry date. The Bank maintains provisions for uncertain tax positions that it believes appropriately reflect the risk of tax positions under discussion, audit, dispute, or appeal with tax authorities, or which are otherwise considered to involve uncertainty. These provisions are made using the Bank’s best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on an assessment of all relevant factors, which are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Note 30 on pages 177 to 179 of the 2014 consolidated financial statements contains further details with respect to the Bank’s provisions for income taxes.

Level 3 instrument fair value changes Financial instruments categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy comprise certain illiquid government bonds, highly-structured corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, illiquid investments in funds, private equity securities, income funds, hedge funds, complex derivatives, and embedded derivatives in structured deposit notes.

The following tables summarize changes in Level 3 instruments carried atfair value for the year ended October 31, 2014. All positive balances represent assets and negative balances represent liabilities. Consequently, positive amounts indicate purchases of assets or settlement of liabilities and negative amounts indicate sales of assets or issuances of liabilities.

(1) Gains and losses on trading assets and all derivative financial instruments are included in trading revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains and losses on disposalof investment securities are included in net gain on sale of investment securities in the Consolidated Statement of Income. (2) Gains and losses from fair value changes of investment securities are presented in the net change in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholder’s Equity – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. (3) These amounts represent the gains and losses from fair value changes of Level 3 instruments still held at the end of the period that are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income. (4) The unrealized gain on income funds and hedge funds units is mostly offset by the mark-to-market changes in an equity-linked note and certain other derivative instruments in structured transactions. Both gains and offsetting losses are included in trading revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Income. (5) Certain unrealized gains and losses on derivative assets and liabilities are largely offset by mark-to-market changes on other instruments included in trading revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Income, since these instruments act as aneconomic hedge to certain derivative assets and liabilities. (6) These amounts represent embedded derivatives bifurcated from structured deposit notes.

(2) Gains and losses for items in Level 3 may be offset with losses and gains on related hedges in Level 1 or Level 2. (3) Trading assets include an insignificant amount of financial assets designated atfair value through profit or loss.

9 Financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss The Bank has elected to designate certain portfolios of assets and liabilities atfair value through profit or loss, which are carried atfair value with changes in fair values recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Impairment testing of intangible assets Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized and are assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment is assessed by comparing the carrying value of the indefinite life intangible asset to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the fund management contracts is based on a value in use approach using the multi-period excess earnings method. This approach uses cash flow projections from management-approved financial budgets whichinclude key assumptions related to market appreciation, net sales of funds, and operating margins taking into consideration past experience and market expectations. The forecast cash flows cover a 5-year period, with a terminal growth rate of 4.5% (2013 – 4.5%) applied thereafter. These cash flows have been discounted at a rate of 10% (2013 – 10%). Management believes thatreasonable negative changes in any one key assumption used to determine the recoverable amount would not result in an impairment. Indefinite life intangible assets were assessed for annual impairment as at July 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013 and no impairment was determined to exist. 20 Other assets As atOctober 31 ($ millions) 2014 2013(1) Accrued interest $ 1,690 $ 1,643 Accounts receivable 1,172 1,073 Current tax assets 565 539 Pension assets (Note 31) 117 132 Receivable from brokers, dealers and clients 945 1,222 Receivable from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 275 366 Other 4,995 5,548 Total $ 9,759 $ 10,523 (1) Certain prior period amounts are retrospectively adjusted to reflect the adoption of new and amended IFRS standards (IFRS 10 and IAS 19) in 2014 (refer to Note 4). 21 Leases (a) As Lessor Finance lease receivables The Bank offers asset-based lending and works with a broadrange of technology, industrial equipment and commercial companies to provide customized finance programmes to assist manufacturers, dealers and distributors of assets.

Off-balance sheet credit risks The provision for off-balance sheet credit risks relates primarily to off-balance sheet credit risks such as undrawn lending commitments, letters of credit and letters of guarantee. These are collectively assessed in a manner consistent with the collective allowance for performing on-balance sheet credit risks.

Restructuring During fiscal 2014, the Bank initiated certain restructuring initiatives in order to improve the Bank’s customers’ experience, reduce costs in a sustainable manner, and to achieve greater operational efficiencies. As a result, in order to implement these initiatives, in the fourth quarter of 2014, a charge of $148 million wasrecorded in other operating expenses, primarily relating to employee severance costs.

Other Other primarily includes provisions related to litigation reserves. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to a number of pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of suchmatters, the Bank cannot state what the eventual outcome of such matters will be. However, based on current knowledge, management does not believe thatliabilities, if any arising from pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position or results of operations of the Bank.

(1) The weighted-average rates of increase in future compensation shown for other benefit plans do not include Canadian flexible post-retirement benefits plans established in fiscal 2005, as they are not impacted by future compensation increases. g) Sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analysis presented below may not represent the actual change in obligation as changes in assumptions may be somewhat correlated. For purposes of the sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same asthat applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation recognized in the statement of financial position.

As at of the individual borrower or counterparty. Key factors considered in October 31, 2014, and October 31, 2013, a significant portion of the the assessment include: the borrower’s management; the borrower’s authorized corporate and commercial lending portfolio was internally current and projected financial results and credit statistics; the industry assessed at a grade that would generally equate to an investment in which the borrower operates; economic trends; and geopolitical risk. grade rating by externalrating agencies.
