Points are assigned as follows: +2 for top quartile, +1 for second quartile, -1 for third quartile, and -2 for fourth quartile within each E, S, and G dimension. • Numerical scores plus policy and target scores are aggregated to arrive at “total scores” for companies that have met a minimum threshold of disclosure (one-third of the numerical fields under study are assigned neither numerical nor total scores). • Normalized scores, ranging from 0 to 100, scale the company scores for comparability across sectors, based on the number of metrics evaluated under the framework for each one. • Overall rankings are established, with the companies ranked by total scores (composite only). Note: The rankings and conclusions in this report are based on quantitative data. Scotiabank GBM’s covering fundamental analyst may issue a recommendation or publish opinions that differ

  • 2021 Annual Report
    2021 Annual Report Built to help Albertans— then, now, and always There has never been a more powerful demonstration of the strength and resiliency of Albertans than what we witnessed over the past year. In the face of an ongoing global health crisis and the resulting economic impacts, the people of this province found ways to stay connected—offering each other support, encouragement, and hope when it was needed most. ATB is grateful to have played a part in helping Albertans navigate their way through the uncertainty and challenges of 2020. We focused first on the health and safety of our team members and our clients while building solutions to address the most urgent needs of our clients and our communities. Since then, we’ve continued to uplift Albertans, their businesses, and their communities whenever and wherever we can. Our commitment to Albertans is at the centre of everything we do. It’s why we’ve encouraged people to imagine what’s possible and why we’ve nurtured the entrepreneurial spirit of Albertans. It’s why we’ve supported local, seeded ingenuity, and spurred innovation both before and during the pandemic. And it’s what we’ll continue to do to keep Albertans moving toward the better days ahead. We know those days will come—and we’ll be here to help Albertans embrace the possibilities that come with them.

Until you come here and kind of get the sense of living here, I don’t think people understand.

  • ATB Financial Response: February 12 Standing Committee on Public Accounts for FY2018-19 Results
    ATB Financial response: February 12 Standing Committee on Public Accounts for FY2018-19 results Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the six questions that arose during the Standing Committee on Public Accounts on February 12. Unfortunately, the committee overlapped with our ATB Board committee meetings in Calgary where we needed to attend to present our Q3 results, and we were confident in having Treasury Board and Finance speak to our FY2018-19 results as they have historically done at Public Accounts every year. As the committee focused on FY2018-19 results, it is important to note that this was a highly unusual year due to the Alberta economy. As you know ATB Financial is based in Alberta. Our competitors, including the Big 5 and Canadian Western Bank respectively operate primarily in other provinces and jurisdictions around the world. The geographic difference plays a meaningful role in net income in years when the Alberta economy is struggling as was the case in 2019 with the Canadian GDP at 1.7% and Alberta's substantially lower at 0.4%. Simply by virtue of having economies of scale and the nature of operations (i.e., international activities, plus expanded service offerings such as wholesale banking & capital markets), the impact of the Alberta economy is felt differently by our competitors. A knock-on effect of a struggling provincial economy is ATB’s loan loss provisions, and as should be expected, they are more variable than our competitors primarily due to our geographic concentration in Alberta. As reviewed by ​the Alberta Superintendent of Financial Institutions​ (ASFI), please be assured that ATB’s small business underwriting is sound and following good industry practices.
