TORONTO, May 25, 2023 — Royal Bank of Canada11 (RY on TSX and NYSE) today reported net income of $3.6 billion for the quarter ended April 30, 2023, down $604 million or 14% from the prior year. Diluted EPS was $2.58, down 13% over the same period. Adjusted net income7 and adjusted EPS7 of $3.8 billion and $2.65 were down 13% and 11% from the prior year, respectively.

 

Results this quarter reflected higher provisions for credit losses, with a PCL on loans ratio of 30 bps, mainly attributable to provisions taken on performing loans in the current quarter, largely driven by unfavourable changes in our credit quality and macroeconomic outlook, as compared to releases in the prior year which reflected reduced uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic. The current quarter also reflected higher provisions on impaired loans.

 

Pre-provision, pre-tax earnings7 of $5 billion were up $54 million or 1% from a year ago, mainly reflecting higher net interest income driven by higher interest rates and strong loan growth in Canadian Banking and Wealth Management. Higher Corporate & Investment Banking revenue in Capital Markets also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by higher expenses, mainly due to higher staff-related costs, including from headcount growth, as well as stock-based compensation. Higher professional fees (including technology investments) and higher discretionary costs to support strong client-driven growth also contributed to higher expenses.

 

Today we declared a quarterly dividend of $1.35 per share reflecting an increase of $0.03 or 2%.

 

Our balance sheet strength coupled with a robust capital position, with a CET1 ratio of 13.7%, supported solid volume growth and $1.8 billion in common share dividends. We have a strong average LCR of 135%. We also continue to operate with a prudent ACL ratio, which included $173 million of provisions taken on performing loans in the current quarter.

 

Compared to last quarter, net income was up 14% reflecting the impact of the Canada Recovery Dividend (CRD) and other tax related adjustments in the prior quarter. Adjusted net income7 was down 13% with lower results in Capital Markets, Personal & Commercial Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance.

 

 

“As our second quarter results demonstrate, RBC will never compromise on doing right by our clients and delivering sustainable, long-term value to them, our communities and shareholders. Our focused growth strategy, prudent risk and capital management, and diversified business mix exemplify our strength and stability amidst a complex macro environment. As we continue to realize the benefits of our strategic investments in technology and our incredible talent, we are confident in our ability to slow expense growth and drive greater efficiencies while supporting our clients’ needs.”

– Dave McKay, RBC President and Chief Executive Officer

- 1 -


  Personal & Commercial Banking

 

 

Net income of $1,915 million decreased $319 million or 14% from a year ago, primarily attributable to higher PCL mainly reflecting provisions taken on performing loans in the current quarter as compared to releases of provisions on performing loans in the prior year. Higher staff and technology related costs, including higher full-time employees and digital initiatives, as well as a higher effective tax rate reflecting the 1.5% increase in the Canadian corporate tax rate also contributed to the decrease. These factors were partially offset by higher net interest income reflecting higher spreads and average volume growth of 8% in deposits and loans in Canadian Banking.

 

Compared to last quarter, net income decreased $211 million or 10%, primarily attributable to lower net interest income due to three less days in the current quarter and lower spreads, largely reflecting changes in product mix. Lower card service revenue also contributed to the decrease.

 

  Wealth Management

 

 

Net income of $742 million decreased $67 million or 8% from a year ago, mainly due to lower average fee-based client assets driven by unfavourable market conditions and gains on the sale of certain non-core affiliates in the same quarter last year. Higher PCL, professional fees and staff costs also contributed to the decrease. These factors were partially offset by an increase in net interest income driven by higher spreads reflecting higher interest rates, which also drove an increase in revenue from sweep deposits.

 

Compared to last quarter, net income decreased $106 million or 13%, primarily due to lower net interest income as higher funding costs and the impact of changes in product mix more than offset the benefit from increased interest rates. Lower transactional revenue also contributed to the decrease.

 

  Insurance

 

 

Net income of $139 million decreased $67 million or 33% from a year ago, primarily due to higher capital funding costs.

 

Compared to last quarter, net income decreased $9 million or 6%, primarily due to the impact of an unfavourable actuarial adjustment in the current quarter.

 

  Capital Markets

 

 

Net income of $939 million increased $82 million or 10% from a year ago, primarily driven by a lower effective tax rate reflecting changes in earnings mix, higher revenue in Corporate & Investment Banking and the impact of foreign exchange translation. These factors were partially offset by higher PCL and lower revenue in Global Markets.

 

Compared to last quarter, net income decreased $284 million or 23%, largely driven by lower equity trading revenue across all regions, as well as lower fixed income trading revenue and M&A activity across most regions. These factors were partially offset by lower compensation on decreased results.

 

  Capital, Liquidity and Credit Quality

 

 

Capital – As at April 30, 2023, our CET1 ratio was 13.7%, up 100 bps from last quarter, mainly reflecting the favourable impact of the Basel III reforms, net internal capital generation and share issuances under the DRIP, partially offset by higher RWA from business growth.

 

Liquidity – For the quarter ended April 30, 2023, the average LCR was 135%, which translates into a surplus of approximately $102 billion, compared to 130% and a surplus of approximately $88 billion last quarter. LCR levels increased compared to the prior quarter primarily due to an increase in deposits and average wholesale funding balances, partially offset by loan growth.

 

The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) as at April 30, 2023 was 113%, which translates into a surplus of approximately $110 billion, compared to 112% and a surplus of approximately $100 billion last quarter. NSFR increased compared to the prior quarter primarily due to an increase in deposits and stable funding, partially offset by loan growth.

 

Credit Quality

Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022

Total PCL was $600 million, compared to $(342) million a year ago, primarily reflecting provisions taken in the current quarter as compared to releases in the prior year in Personal & Commercial Banking and Capital Markets. The PCL on loans ratio of 30 bps increased 48 bps. The PCL on impaired loans ratio of 21 bps increased 12 bps.

 

PCL on performing loans was $173 million, compared to $(504) million a year ago, primarily reflecting provisions taken in the current quarter, largely driven by unfavourable changes in our credit quality and macroeconomic outlook, as compared to releases in the prior year which reflected reduced uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, mainly in our Canadian Banking portfolios and Capital Markets.

 

PCL on impaired loans increased $267 million, primarily due to higher provisions in our Canadian Banking portfolios and Capital Markets, in a few sectors, including the consumer discretionary and real estate and related sectors.

 

- 2 -


Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023

 

Total PCL increased $68 million or 13% from last quarter, primarily due to higher provisions in Capital Markets and Personal & Commercial Banking, partially offset by lower provisions in Wealth Management. The PCL on loans ratio increased 5 bps. The PCL on impaired loans ratio increased 4 bps.

 

PCL on performing loans of $173 million was flat as higher provisions in Capital Markets were offset by lower provisions in Wealth Management and Personal & Commercial Banking.

 

PCL on impaired loans increased $84 million or 24%, primarily due to higher provisions in Capital Markets, in a few sectors, including the consumer discretionary and real estate and related sectors, and in our Canadian Banking portfolios.

 

  Key Performance and Non-GAAP Measures

 

 

Performance measures

We measure and evaluate the performance of our consolidated operations and each business segment using a number of financial metrics, such as net income and ROE. Certain financial metrics, including ROE, do not have a standardized meaning under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other financial institutions.

 

Non-GAAP measures

We believe that certain non-GAAP measures (including non-GAAP ratios) are more reflective of our ongoing operating results and provide readers with a better understanding of management’s perspective on our performance. These measures enhance the comparability of our financial performance for the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 with the corresponding periods in the prior year and the three months ended January 31, 2023. Non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other financial institutions.

 

The following discussion describes the non-GAAP measures we use in evaluating our operating results.

 

Pre-provision, pre-tax earnings

Pre-provision, pre-tax earnings is calculated as income (Q2 2023: $3,649 million; Q2 2022: $4,253 million) before income taxes (Q2 2023: $771 million; Q2 2022: $1,055 million) and PCL (Q2 2023: $600 million; Q2 2022: $(342) million). We use pre-provision, pre-tax earnings to assess our ability to generate sustained earnings growth outside of credit losses, which are impacted by the cyclical nature of the credit cycle.

 

Adjusted results

We believe that providing adjusted results and certain measures excluding the impact of the specified items discussed below and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles enhance comparability with prior periods and enables readers to better assess trends in the underlying businesses. Specified items impacting our results for the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 and the three months ended January 31, 2023 are:

 

  CRD and other tax related adjustments: reflects the impact of the CRD and the 1.5% increase in the Canadian corporate tax rate applicable to fiscal 2022, net of deferred tax adjustments, which were announced in the Government of Canada’s 2022 budget and enacted in the first quarter of 2023

 

  Transaction and integration costs relating to our planned acquisition of HSBC Bank Canada (HSBC Canada)

TORONTO, May 25, 2023
– Royal Bank of Canada
4
(RY on TSX and NYSE) today reported net income of $3.6 billion for the quarter ended April 30, 2023, down $604 million or 14% from the prior year. Diluted EPS was $2.58, down 13% over the same period. Adjusted net income
3
and adjusted EPS
3
of $3.8 billion and $2.65 were down 13% and 11% from the prior year, respectively.
Results this quarter reflected higher provisions for credit losses, with a PCL on loans ratio of 30 bps, mainly attributable to provisions taken on performing loans in the current quarter, largely driven by unfavourable changes in our credit quality and macroeconomic outlook, as compared to releases in the prior year which reflected reduced uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic. The current quarter also reflected higher provisions on impaired loans.
Pre-provision, pre-tax earnings
5
of $5 billion were up $54 million or 1% from a year ago, mainly reflecting higher net interest income driven by higher interest rates and strong loan growth in Canadian Banking and Wealth Management. Higher Corporate & Investment Banking revenue in Capital Markets also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by higher expenses, mainly due to higher staff-related costs, including from headcount growth, as well as stock-based compensation. Higher professional fees (including technology investments) and higher discretionary costs to support strong client-driven growth also contributed to higher expenses.
Today we declared a quarterly dividend of $1.35 per share reflecting an increase of $0.03 or 2%.
Our balance sheet strength coupled with a robust capital position, with a CET1 ratio of 13.7%, supported solid volume growth and $1.8 billion in common share dividends. We have a strong average LCR of 135%. We also continue to operate with a prudent ACL ratio, which included $173 million of provisions taken on performing loans in the current quarter.
Compared to last quarter, net income was up 14% reflecting the impact of the Canada Recovery Dividend (CRD) and other tax related adjustments in the prior quarter. Adjusted net income
3
was down 13% with lower results in Capital Markets, Personal & Commercial Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance.
 
 
 
“As our second quarter results demonstrate, RBC will never compromise on doing right by our clients and delivering sustainable, long-term value to them, our communities and shareholders. Our focused growth strategy, prudent risk and capital management, and diversified business mix exemplify our strength and stability amidst a complex macro environment. As we continue to realize the benefits of our strategic investments in technology and our incredible talent, we are confident in our ability to slow expense growth and drive greater efficiencies while supporting our clients’ needs.”

Pre-provision,
pre-tax
(PPPT) earnings is calculated as income (April 30, 2023: $3,649 million; April 30, 2022: $4,253 million) before income taxes (April 30, 2023: $771 million; April 30, 2022: $1,055 million) and PCL (April 30, 2023: $600 million; April 30, 2022: $(342) million). This is a
non-GAAP
measure. PPPT earnings do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other financial institutions. We use PPPT earnings to assess our ability to generate sustained earnings growth outside of credit losses, which are impacted by the cyclical nature of a credit cycle. We believe that certain
non-GAAP
measures are more reflective of our ongoing operating results and provide readers with a better understanding of management’s perspective on our performance.

Caution regarding forward-looking statements
 
From time to time, we make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws, including the “safe harbour” provisions of the
United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
and any applicable Canadian securities legislation. We may make forward-looking statements in this Q2 2023 Report to Shareholders, in other filings with Canadian regulators or the SEC, in other reports to shareholders, and in other communications. Forward-looking statements in this document include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our financial performance objectives, vision and strategic goals, the economic, market, and regulatory review and outlook for Canadian, U.S., U.K., European and global economies, the regulatory environment in which we operate, the impact from rising interest rates, the expected closing of the transaction involving HSBC Bank Canada, the expected closing of the transaction involving CACEIS and the risk environment including our credit risk, market risk, liquidity and funding risk, and includes our President and Chief Executive Officer’s statements. The forward-looking information contained in this document is presented for the purpose of assisting the holders of our securities and financial analysts in understanding our financial position and results of operations as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, as well as our financial performance objectives, vision and strategic goals, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe”, “expect”, “foresee”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “goal”, “commit”, “target”, “objective”, “plan” and “project” and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “may”, “might”, “should”, “could” or “would”.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, which give rise to the possibility that our predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that our assumptions may not be correct that our financial performance, environmental & social or other objectives, vision and strategic goals will not be achieved and that our actual results may differ materially from such predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations or conclusions.
We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements as a number of risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors – many of which are beyond our control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict – include: credit, market, liquidity and funding, insurance, operational, regulatory compliance (which could lead to us being subject to various legal and regulatory proceedings, the potential outcome of which could include regulatory restrictions, penalties and fines), strategic, reputation, competitive, model, legal and regulatory environment, systemic risks and other risks discussed in the risk sections of our 2022 Annual Report and the Risk management section of this Q2 2023 Report to Shareholders; including business and economic conditions in the geographic regions in which we operate, Canadian housing and household indebtedness, information technology and cyber risks, geopolitical uncertainty, environmental and social risk (including climate change), digital disruption and innovation, privacy, data and third-party related risks, regulatory changes, culture and conduct risks, the effects of changes in government fiscal, monetary and other policies, tax risk and transparency, and the emergence of widespread health emergencies or public health crises such as pandemics and epidemics, including the
COVID-19
pandemic and its impact on the global economy, financial market conditions and our business operations, and financial results, condition and objectives. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations in such forward-looking statements can be found in the risk sections of our 2022 Annual Report.

We caution that the foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive and other factors could also adversely affect our results. When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to us, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this Q2 2023 Report to Shareholders are set out in the Economic, market and regulatory review and outlook section and for each business segment under the Strategic priorities and Outlook sections in our 2022 Annual Report, as updated by the Economic, market and regulatory review and outlook section of this Q2 2023 Report to Shareholders. Except as required by law, we do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by us or on our behalf.
Additional information about these and other factors can be found in the risk sections of our 2022 Annual Report and the Risk management section of this Q2 2023 Report to Shareholders.

Economic, market and regulatory review and outlook – data as at May 24, 2023
 
The predictions and forecasts in this section are based on information and assumptions from sources we consider reliable. If this information or these assumptions are not accurate, actual economic outcomes may differ materially from the outlook presented in this section.
Economic and market review and outlook
Unemployment rates remain at historically low levels in Canada, the U.S., the Euro area and the U.K. However, the number of job openings in Canada and the U.S. has begun to slow and wage growth has shown signs of moderating. Inflation pressures have also eased across most advanced global economies. Household expenditure overall has been supported by resilient spending on services. However, the lagged impacts of central bank interest rate increases over the last year are expected to slow inflation and consumer demand further. The risk to financial markets resulting from raising interest rates aggressively has heightened after stresses emerged in the U.S. regional banking sector. Geopolitical uncertainty remains high with the ongoing war in Ukraine. With economic growth expected to slow, and mild recessions expected in the U.S. and Canada in the calendar year ahead, we expect most advanced economy central banks are currently at or approaching the end of their current cycle of rate increases.
Canada
Canadian GDP is expected to have risen 2.5%
1
in the first calendar quarter of 2023, following no growth in the final calendar quarter of 2022. Consumer spending continued to rise in the first calendar quarter of 2023 but is expected to slow as the lagged impact of Bank of Canada (BoC) interest rate increases over the last calendar year gradually flow through to household borrowing costs. We continue to expect a mild recession with modest GDP declines over the second and third calendar quarters of 2023. Inflation pressures have continued to moderate after peaking in the summer of 2022. The year-over-year rate of growth in the consumer price index (CPI) slowed to 4.4% in April 2023 from 6.3% in December 2022, partly reflecting easing global supply chain pressures and lower energy prices. Commodity prices have reversed initial increases following the start of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2022. The breadth of price pressures has narrowed, with a smaller share of products and services impacted by abnormally high price growth. The unemployment rate was 5.0% in April 2023, holding for a fifth straight month at just above the multi-decade low rate of 4.9% in the summer of 2022. Labour shortages are still widespread but less intense according to the BoC’s 2023 Business Outlook Survey conducted for the first calendar quarter. The BoC announced a conditional pause in interest rate increases in January 2023. The overnight rate is expected to remain at the current 4.5% level through calendar 2023.
U.S.
U.S. GDP grew by 1.1%
1
in the first calendar quarter of 2023 following a 2.6%
1
increase in the final calendar quarter of 2022. While household spending has so far been resilient, Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate increases over the last calendar year and in calendar 2023 continue to raise debt payments with a lag and reduce household purchasing power. We expect a mild recession with GDP declining over the second and third calendar quarters of 2023. The unemployment rate remains very low at 3.4% as of April 2023, however the number of job openings is declining as labour demand begins to slow. Year-over-year growth in the CPI slowed to 4.9% in April 2023 from 6.5% in December 2022, largely as a result of easing global supply chain disruptions and lower commodity prices. The breadth of inflation pressures has been narrowing across products but is still wide, and price growth for domestically produced services has been slower to ease. Inflation is expected to slow further as consumer demand declines, and concerns among monetary policy setters on the risks to financial markets from raising interest rates aggressively have increased after stresses emerged in the U.S. regional banking sector. We expect the Fed will pause interest rate increases after the last 25 basis point increase to the federal funds target range in May.
Europe
Euro area GDP in the first calendar quarter of 2023 grew modestly by 0.1% following no growth in the final calendar quarter of 2022. GDP growth is expected to remain slow over the remainder of the calendar year. Unemployment rates remain very low across countries in the Euro area but are expected to rise modestly through the rest of calendar 2023. Year-over-year consumer price growth has slowed, due largely to lower global commodity prices. Despite rising concerns surrounding financial sector stability, we anticipate the European Central Bank will raise the deposit rate to 3.75% by the end of calendar 2023. U.K. GDP increased by 0.1% in the first calendar quarter of 2023 following a 0.1% increase in the final calendar quarter of 2022. Recent inflation trends have been stronger than previously expected, with year-over-year growth in the CPI at 10.1% in March 2023. The Bank of England increased the Bank Rate to 4.5% in May 2023. We expect no further interest rate increases before the end of calendar 2023.
Financial markets
Government bond yields are still elevated but have dropped lower amid slowing inflation trends and expectations that central banks are either at or close to the end of interest rate increases. Equity markets are up from lower levels earlier in 2022. Commodity prices have largely reversed increases following the start of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2022 and supply chain challenges have moderated. Prices for crude oil however remain above
pre-pandemic
levels. Credit spreads widened significantly after the initial stresses emerged in the U.S. regional banking sector. Negotiations to raise the U.S. federal government debt limit are also adding to market volatility. Markets have since calmed but uncertainty remains high.

Regulatory environment
We continue to monitor and prepare for regulatory developments and changes in a manner that seeks to ensure compliance with new requirements while mitigating adverse business or financial impacts. Such impacts could result from new or amended laws or regulations and the expectations of those who enforce them. A high level summary of the key regulatory changes that have the potential to increase or decrease our costs and the complexity of our operations is included in the Legal and regulatory environment risk section of our 2022 Annual Report and updates are listed below.
Global uncertainty
Significant uncertainty about inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions continues to pose risks to the global economic outlook. In the second calendar quarter of 2023, the banking turmoil caused by a rapid flight of deposits for some financial institutions in the U.S. and globally, created instability in the financial sector and added to global economic uncertainty. In April 2023, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected global growth of 2.8% in calendar 2023, down 0.1% from its January forecast. Uncertainty remains regarding the interest rate trajectory of central banks, the resilience of global economies to withstand another health crisis, ongoing geopolitical tensions, including those between Russia and Ukraine, the stability of U.S. regional banks and brokerages as well as the potential breach of the U.S. debt ceiling. Our diversified business model, as well as our product and geographic diversification, combined with our sound risk management practices, continue to help mitigate the risks posed by global uncertainty.
Climate-related regulatory activity
On March 7, 2023, OSFI released its final Guideline
B-15
– Climate Risk Management, which sets out expectations for the management of climate-related risks for federally regulated financial institutions (FRFIs) and aims to support FRFIs in developing greater resilience to, and management of, these risks. The guideline will be effective starting fiscal 2024 and OSFI intends to review and amend the guideline as practices and standards evolve. We are currently assessing the impact of the guideline and have initiated a project to meet the requirements by the effective date. We will continue to monitor any updates and future developments.
Government of Canada 2023 budget
On March 28, 2023, the Government of Canada presented its 2023 budget (“Budget 2023”), which introduced a number of proposed measures including a proposal to deny the dividend received deduction in respect of dividends received by financial institutions after December 31, 2023 on shares of corporations resident in Canada where such shares are mark-to-market property for tax purposes, and a new 2% tax on net share buybacks for publicly listed corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2024. Budget 2023 also reinforced the Government of Canada’s commitment to the Organization for Economic
Co-operation
and Development’s two-pillar plan for international tax reform, including a global 15% minimum tax on multinational enterprises.
Budget 2023 also proposed to introduce GST and HST on payment card clearing services, to be applied prospectively in all cases and retroactively under certain circumstances. A bill with this legislation has passed second reading in the House of Commons but is not final until it receives royal assent.
Timing of enactment of these changes remains uncertain, and legislation remains subject to amendment prior to enactment. The ultimate impact of the proposed measures will depend on the final legislation.
Third-party risk management
On April 24, 2023, OSFI released its final Guideline B-10 – Third-Party Risk Management, which sets out expectations for managing risks associated with third-party arrangements for FRFIs.
This guideline will be effective on May 1, 2024. We have assessed the requirements and do not anticipate any issues in complying with the requirements by the effective date.
For a discussion on risk factors resulting from these and other developments which may affect our business and financial results, refer to the risk sections of our 2022 Annual Report. For further details on our framework and activities to manage risks, refer to the risk and Capital management sections of this Q2 2023 Report to Shareholders.
 
Key corporate events
 
HSBC Bank Canada

Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Total revenue increased $2,300 million or 20% from a year ago, primarily due to higher Insurance premiums, investment and fee income (insurance revenue). Higher net interest income, investment management and custodial fees and trading revenue also contributed to the increase. The impact of foreign exchange translation increased revenue by $320 million.
Net interest income increased $825 million or 16%, primarily due to higher spreads in Personal & Commercial Banking and U.S. Wealth Management as well as average volume growth in Canadian Banking. These factors were partially offset by lower revenue from non-trading derivatives, which was offset in Other revenue, and lower fixed income trading revenue, both in Capital Markets.
NIM was up 8 bps compared to last year, mainly due to the benefit of higher interest rates in Canadian Banking and Wealth Management, partially offset by an unfavourable change in product mix in Canadian Banking and the impact of higher funding costs in Capital Markets, with related revenue recorded in non-interest income.
Insurance revenue increased $1,113 million, primarily due to the change in fair value of investments backing policyholder liabilities and business growth, both of which are largely offset in PBCAE.
Trading revenue increased $141 million or 49%, mainly due to higher fixed income trading revenue across most regions. This factor was partially offset by lower equity trading revenue across all regions.
Investment management and custodial fees increased $191 million or 10%, mainly reflecting the inclusion of RBC Brewin Dolphin and the impact of foreign exchange translation.
Other revenue increased $49 million or 58%, mainly reflecting gains from our non-trading portfolios, which were offset in Net interest income, and changes in the fair value of the hedges related to our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which was largely offset in Non-interest expense. These factors were partially offset by the impact of economic hedges.
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
Total revenue decreased $1,574 million or 10% from last quarter, largely due to lower trading revenue and insurance revenue. Lower other revenue, foreign exchange revenue, other than trading and net interest income also contributed to the decrease.
Net interest income decreased $103 million or 2%, mainly due to three less days in the current quarter and lower spreads including the impact of changes in product mix in Personal & Commercial Banking and Wealth Management. These factors were partially offset by higher fixed income and equity trading revenue in Capital Markets.
Insurance revenue decreased $544 million or 29%, primarily due to the change in fair value of investments backing policyholder liabilities, which is largely offset in PBCAE. This factor was partially offset by higher group annuity sales.
Trading revenue decreased $639 million or 60%, primarily due to lower fixed income trading revenue across most regions and equity trading revenue across all regions.
Foreign exchange revenue, other than trading decreased $111 million or 26%, primarily driven by foreign currency translation losses associated with certain foreign currency denominated funding, which was offset by the impact of economic hedges in Other revenue in the prior quarter.
Other revenue decreased $124 million or 48%, mainly attributable to changes in the fair value of the hedges related to our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which was largely offset in Non-interest expense.

Royal Bank of Canada
        Second Quarter 2023         9
 
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022 (Six months ended)
Total revenue increased $4,328 million or 18% from the same period last year, primarily driven by higher net interest income, insurance revenue and trading revenue. Higher investment management and custodial fees and foreign exchange revenue, other than trading also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by lower underwriting and other advisory fees and mutual fund revenue. The impact of foreign exchange translation increased revenue by $535 million.
Net interest income increased $1,756 million or 17%, largely due to higher spreads in Personal & Commercial Banking and Wealth Management and average volume growth in Canadian Banking. These factors were partially offset by lower revenue from non-trading derivatives, which was offset in Other revenue, and lower fixed income trading revenue, both in Capital Markets.
Insurance revenue increased $1,605 million or 98%, mainly due to the change in fair value of investments backing policyholder liabilities, partially offset by lower group annuity sales, both of which are largely offset in PBCAE.
Trading revenue increased $896 million, mainly due to higher fixed income trading revenue across all regions.
Investment management and custodial fees increased $286 million or 7%, mainly reflecting the inclusion of RBC Brewin Dolphin.
Mutual fund revenue decreased $236 million or 10%, largely due to lower average fee-based client assets driven by unfavourable market conditions in Wealth Management, and lower average mutual fund balances driving lower distribution fees in Canadian Banking.
Foreign exchange revenue, other than trading increased $233 million or 45%, primarily driven by foreign currency translation gains associated with certain foreign currency denominated funding, which was offset by the impact of economic hedges in Other revenue.
Underwriting and other advisory fees decreased $238 million or 20%, largely driven by lower equity and debt origination across all regions.
Other revenue increased $18 million or 5%, mainly attributable to gains from our non-trading portfolios, which were offset in Net interest income, and changes in the fair value of the hedges related to our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which was largely offset in Non-interest expense. These factors were partially offset by the impact of economic hedges.

Royal Bank of Canada
        Second Quarter 2023
 
PCL on performing loans was $173 million, compared to $(504) million a year ago, primarily reflecting provisions taken in the current quarter, largely driven by unfavourable changes in our credit quality and macroeconomic outlook, as compared to releases in the prior year which reflected reduced uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, mainly in our Canadian Banking portfolios and Capital Markets.
PCL on impaired loans increased $267 million, primarily due to higher provisions in our Canadian Banking portfolios and Capital Markets, in a few sectors, including the consumer discretionary and real estate and related sectors.
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
Total PCL increased $68 million or 13% from last quarter, primarily due to higher provisions in Capital Markets and Personal & Commercial Banking, partially offset by lower provisions in Wealth Management. The PCL on loans ratio increased 5 bps.
PCL on performing loans of $173 million was flat as higher provisions in Capital Markets were offset by lower provisions in Wealth Management and Personal & Commercial Banking.
PCL on impaired loans increased $84 million or 24%, primarily due to higher provisions in Capital Markets, in a few sectors, including the consumer discretionary and real estate and related sectors, and in our Canadian Banking portfolios.
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022 (Six months ended)
Total PCL was $1,132 million, compared to $(237) million in the same period last year, primarily reflecting provisions taken in the current period as compared to releases in the prior period in Personal & Commercial Banking and Capital Markets. The PCL on loans ratio increased 33 bps.
PCL on performing loans was $346 million, compared to $(584) million in the prior period, primarily reflecting provisions taken in the current period driven by unfavourable changes in our credit quality and macroeconomic outlook, as compared to releases in the prior period which reflected reduced uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily in our Canadian Banking portfolios and Capital Markets.
PCL on impaired loans increased $444 million, mainly due to higher provisions in our Canadian Banking retail portfolios and in Capital Markets, in a few sectors, including the consumer discretionary and real estate and related sectors.
Insurance policyholder benefits, claims and acquisition expense (PBCAE)
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
PBCAE increased $1,186 million from a year ago, primarily due to the change in fair value of investments backing policyholder liabilities and business growth in Canadian Insurance, both of which are largely offset in revenue. These factors were partially offset by lower group annuity sales.
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
PBCAE decreased $539 million or 35% from last quarter, primarily due to the change in fair value of investments backing policyholder liabilities, which is largely offset in revenue. Higher favourable investment-related experience and lower claims costs also contributed to the decrease. These factors were partially offset by business growth, higher group annuity sales and the impact of an unfavourable actuarial adjustment in the current quarter.
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022 (Six months ended)
PBCAE increased $1,734 million from the same period last year, mainly reflecting the change in fair value of investments backing policyholder liabilities, partially offset by lower group annuity sales, both of which are largely offset in revenue.

Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Non-interest
expense increased $1,060 million or 16% from a year ago, mainly due to higher staff costs and the impact of foreign exchange translation. The inclusion of RBC Brewin Dolphin and related costs, the change in the fair value of our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which was largely offset in Other revenue, as well as higher professional fees also contributed to the increase.
Our efficiency ratio of 55.4% decreased 190 bps from 57.3% last year. Our adjusted efficiency ratio of 58.8% increased 290 bps from 55.9% last year.
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
Non-interest
expense decreased $181 million or 2% from last quarter, primarily due to lower variable compensation on decreased revenue and the change in the fair value of our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which was largely offset in Other revenue. These factors were partially offset by higher professional fees.
Our efficiency ratio of 55.4% increased 460 bps from 50.8% last quarter. Our adjusted efficiency ratio of 58.8% increased 290 bps from 55.9% last quarter.
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022 (Six months ended)
Non-interest

Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Income tax expense decreased $284 million or 27% from a year ago, primarily due to the impact of changes in earnings mix and lower income before income taxes. These factors were partially offset by net favourable tax adjustments in the same quarter last year and the impact of the 1.5% increase in the Canadian corporate tax rate enacted in the current year.
The effective income tax rate of 17.4% decreased 2.5%, primarily due to the impact of changes in earnings mix, partially offset by the impact of net favourable tax adjustments in the same quarter last year and the 1.5% increase in the Canadian corporate tax rate.
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
Income tax expense decreased $1,357 million or 64% from last quarter, primarily due to the impact of the CRD and other tax related adjustments in the prior quarter. Lower income before income taxes also contributed to the decrease.
The effective income tax rate of 17.4% decreased 22.4%, primarily due to the impact of the CRD and other tax related adjustments noted above and the impact of changes in earnings mix.

Business segment results
 
 
How we measure and report our business segments
 
The key methodologies and assumptions used in our management reporting framework are periodically reviewed by management to ensure they remain valid. Effective the first quarter of 2023, we simplified our reporting structure by eliminating the Investor & Treasury Services segment and moving its former businesses to existing segments. For further details, refer to the About Royal Bank of Canada section. Other than changes necessary to effect our new basis of segment presentation, our key methodologies and assumptions remain unchanged from October 31, 2022.
For further details on our key methodologies and assumptions used in our management reporting framework, refer to the How we measure and report our business segments section of our 2022 Annual Report.
 
Key performance and
non-GAAP
measures
 
Performance measures
We measure and evaluate the performance of our consolidated operations and each business segment using a number of financial metrics, such as net income and ROE. Certain financial metrics, including ROE, do not have a standardized meaning under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other financial institutions.
Return on common equity
We use ROE, at both the consolidated and business segment levels, as a measure of return on total capital invested in our business. Management views the business segment ROE measure as a useful measure for supporting investment and resource allocation decisions because it adjusts for certain items that may affect comparability between business segments and certain competitors.
Our consolidated ROE calculation is based on net income available to common shareholders divided by total average common equity for the period. Business segment ROE calculations are based on net income available to common shareholders divided by average attributed capital for the period. For each segment, average attributed capital includes the capital required to underpin various risks as described in the Capital management section and amounts invested in goodwill and intangibles.
The attribution of capital involves the use of assumptions, judgments and methodologies that are regularly reviewed and revised by management as deemed necessary. Changes to such assumptions, judgments and methodologies can have a material effect on the business segment ROE information that we report. Other companies that disclose information on similar attributions and related return measures may use different assumptions, judgments and methodologies.
The following table provides a summary of our ROE calculations:

Non-GAAP
measures
We believe that certain
non-GAAP
measures (including
non-GAAP
ratios) are more reflective of our ongoing operating results and provide readers with a better understanding of management’s perspective on our performance. These measures enhance the comparability of our financial performance for the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 with the corresponding periods in the prior year and the three months ended January 31, 2023.
Non-GAAP
measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other financial institutions.
The following discussion describes the
non-GAAP
measures we use in evaluating our operating results.
Adjusted results
We believe that providing adjusted results and certain measures excluding the impact of the specified items discussed below and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles enhance comparability with prior periods and enables readers to better assess trends in the underlying businesses. Specified items impacting our results for the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 and the three months ended January 31, 2023 are:
 
CRD and other tax related adjustments: reflects the impact of the CRD and the 1.5% increase in the Canadian corporate tax rate applicable to fiscal 2022, net of deferred tax adjustments, which were announced in the Government of Canada’s 2022 budget and enacted in the first quarter of 2023
 
Transaction and integration costs relating to our planned acquisition of HSBC Canada
Adjusted efficiency ratio
The adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated based on adjusted Non-interest expense excluding HSBC Canada transaction and integration costs and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles divided by total revenue net of PBCAE, both of which are non-GAAP measures. We believe that the adjusted efficiency ratio is a useful measure as the change in fair value of investments backing policyholder liabilities can lead to volatility in revenue, which is largely offset within PBCAE, that could obscure trends in underlying business performance and reduce comparability with prior periods.

(1)   There were no specified items for the three months ended April 30, 2022 or for the six months ended April 30, 2022.
(2)   ROE is based on actual balances of average common equity before rounding.
(3)   These amounts have been recognized in Corporate Support.
(4)   Represents the impact of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles (excluding amortization of software), and any goodwill impairment.
(5)   The impact of the CRD and other tax related adjustments does not include $0.2 billion recognized in other comprehensive income.
(6)   Effective the second quarter of 2023, we included HSBC Canada transaction and integration costs and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles as adjusting items for non-GAAP measures and non-GAAP ratios. Therefore, comparative adjusted results have been revised from those previously presented to conform to our basis of presentation for this non-GAAP measure.
(7)   Effective the second quarter of 2023, we revised the composition of this non-GAAP ratio, which is calculated based on adjusted Non-interest expense excluding HSBC Canada transaction and integration costs and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles divided by total revenue net of PBCAE. Therefore, comparative adjusted results have been revised from those previously presented to conform to our basis of presentation for this non-GAAP ratio.

period-end
spot balances and includes securitized residential mortgages and credit card loans as at April 30, 2023 of $15 billion and $8 billion, respectively (January 31, 2023 – $15 billion and $6 billion; April 30, 2022 – $14 billion and $4 billion).
Financial performance
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Net income decreased $319 million or 14% from a year ago, primarily attributable to higher PCL mainly reflecting provisions taken on performing loans in the current quarter as compared to releases of provisions on performing loans in the prior year. Higher staff and technology related costs, including digital initiatives, as well as a higher effective tax rate reflecting the 1.5% increase in the Canadian corporate tax rate also contributed to the decrease. These factors were partially offset by higher net interest income reflecting higher spreads and average volume growth of 8% in Canadian Banking.
Total revenue increased $559 million or 12%.
Canadian Banking revenue increased $509 million or 11%, largely due to higher net interest income reflecting higher spreads and average volume growth of 8% in deposits and loans. Higher service charges were more than offset by lower average mutual fund balances driving lower distribution fees.
Caribbean & U.S. Banking revenue increased $50 million or 24%, mainly due to higher net interest income reflecting improved spreads.
NIM was up 24 bps, mainly due to the impact of the rising interest rate environment, partially offset by changes in product mix.
PCL was $422 million, compared to $(276) million a year ago, largely attributable to provisions taken in the current quarter on performing loans in our Canadian Banking portfolios, primarily driven by unfavourable changes in our credit quality and macroeconomic outlook, as compared to releases last year which reflected reduced uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current quarter also reflected higher provisions on impaired loans, primarily in our Canadian Banking portfolios, resulting in an increase of 10 bps in the PCL on impaired loans ratio.
Non-interest
expense increased $242 million or 12%, primarily attributable to higher staff and technology related costs, including digital initiatives, as well as higher marketing costs.
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
Net income decreased $211 million or 10% from last quarter, primarily attributable to lower net interest income reflecting three less days in the current quarter and lower spreads. Lower card service revenue also contributed to the decrease.
NIM was down 6 bps, mainly due to changes in product mix.

Royal Bank of Canada
        Second Quarter 2023
 
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022 (Six months ended)
Net income decreased $167 million or 4% from the same period last year, primarily attributable to higher PCL mainly reflecting provisions taken on performing loans in the current period as compared to releases of provisions on performing loans in the prior period. Higher staff and technology related costs, including digital initiatives, as well as a higher effective tax rate reflecting the 1.5% increase in the Canadian corporate tax rate also contributed to the decrease. These factors were partially offset by higher net interest income reflecting higher spreads and average volume growth of 8% in Canadian Banking.
Total revenue increased $1,297 million or 14%, largely due to higher net interest income reflecting higher spreads and average volume growth in Canadian Banking of 8% in loans and deposits. This factor was partially offset by lower average mutual fund balances driving lower distribution fees.
PCL was $823 million, compared to $(147) million in the same period last year, largely attributable to provisions taken on performing loans in the current period primarily in our Canadian Banking retail portfolios driven by unfavourable changes in our credit quality and macroeconomic outlook as compared to releases in the prior period which reflected reduced uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current period also reflected higher provisions on impaired loans, primarily in our Canadian Banking retail portfolios, resulting in an increase of 6 bps in the PCL on impaired loans ratio.
Non-interest
expense increased $449 million or 11%, primarily attributable to higher staff and technology related costs, including digital initiatives, as well as higher marketing costs.

Financial performance
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Net income decreased $67 million or 8% from a year ago, mainly due to lower average fee-based client assets driven by unfavourable market conditions and gains on the sale of certain non-core affiliates in the same quarter last year. Higher PCL, professional fees and staff costs also contributed to the decrease. These factors were partially offset by an increase in net interest income driven by higher spreads reflecting higher interest rates, which also drove an increase in revenue from sweep deposits.

18         
Royal Bank of Canada
        Second Quarter 2023
 
Total revenue increased $423 million or 11%.
Canadian Wealth Management revenue increased $23 million or 2%, primarily due to an increase in net interest income driven by higher spreads reflecting higher interest rates, partially offset by lower transactional revenue driven by a decline in client activity.
U.S. Wealth Management (including City National) revenue increased $230 million or 13%. In U.S. dollars, revenue increased $78 million or 6%, primarily due to an increase in net interest income driven by higher spreads reflecting higher interest rates, which also drove an increase in revenue from sweep deposits. Higher transactional revenue also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by gains on the sale of certain non-core affiliates in the same quarter last year, as well as lower average fee-based client assets, largely driven by unfavourable market conditions.
Global Asset Management revenue decreased $44 million or 6%, primarily due to lower average fee-based client assets, largely driven by unfavourable market conditions.
International Wealth Management revenue increased $242 million, primarily reflecting the inclusion of RBC Brewin Dolphin, as well as an increase in net interest income driven by higher spreads reflecting higher interest rates.
Investor Services revenue decreased $28 million or 7%, primarily due to lower net interest income as the benefit from higher interest rates was more than offset by higher funding costs and lower deposit volume, as well as lower fee-based revenue. These factors were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange translation and higher transactional revenue.
PCL was $28 million, compared to $(31) million a year ago, primarily in U.S. Wealth Management (including City National), mainly reflecting the impact of releases of provisions on performing loans in the prior year driven by reduced uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Provisions on impaired loans in the current quarter, mainly in the real estate and related and consumer discretionary sectors, also contributed to the increase, resulting in an increase of 9 bps in the PCL on impaired loans ratio.
Non-interest
expense increased $476 million or 16%, largely due to the inclusion of RBC Brewin Dolphin and related costs and the impact of foreign exchange translation. Higher professional fees and staff costs also contributed to the increase.
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
Net income decreased $106 million or 13% from last quarter, primarily due to lower net interest income as higher funding costs and the impact of changes in product mix more than offset the benefit from higher interest rates. Lower transactional revenue also contributed to the decrease.
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022 (Six months ended)
Net income decreased $40 million or 2% from the same period last year, mainly due to lower average fee-based client assets, higher PCL, staff costs and professional fees. The impact of a legal provision release in U.S. Wealth Management (including City National) as well as gains on the sale of certain non-core affiliates, both in the same period last year, also contributed to the decrease. These factors were partially offset by an increase in net interest income driven by higher spreads reflecting higher interest rates, which also drove higher revenue from sweep deposits, as well as an increase in transactional revenue.
Total revenue increased $990 million or 12%, primarily due to an increase in net interest income driven by higher spreads reflecting higher interest rates, and the inclusion of RBC Brewin Dolphin. The impact of foreign exchange translation, as well as higher revenue from sweep deposits and higher transactional revenue also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by lower average fee-based client assets driven by unfavourable market conditions, and gains on the sale of certain non-core affiliates in the same period last year.
PCL was $94 million, compared to $(43) million in the same period last year, primarily in U.S. Wealth Management (including City National), mainly attributable to provisions taken on performing loans in the current period, largely driven by unfavourable changes in our credit quality and macroeconomic outlook, as compared to releases in the prior period which reflected reduced uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current period also reflected higher provisions on impaired loans in a few sectors, including the other services, consumer discretionary and real estate and related sectors, resulting in an increase of 11 bps in the PCL on impaired loans ratio.
Non-interest expense increased $966 million or 16%, largely due to the inclusion of RBC Brewin Dolphin and related costs and the impact of foreign exchange translation. Higher staff costs and professional fees, as well as the impact of a legal provision release in U.S. Wealth Management (including City National) in the same period last year also contributed to the increase.

The investments which support actuarial liabilities are predominantly fixed income assets designated as FVTPL. Consequently, changes in the fair values of these assets are recorded in Insurance premiums, investment and fee income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and are largely offset by changes in the fair value of the actuarial liabilities, the impact of which is reflected in PBCAE.
(2)   Premiums and deposits include premiums on risk-based insurance and annuity products, and individual and group segregated fund deposits, consistent with insurance industry practices.
Financial performance
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Net income decreased $67 million or 33% from a year ago, primarily due to higher capital funding costs.
Total revenue increased $1,113 million.
Canadian Insurance revenue increased $1,202 million, primarily due to the change in fair value of investments backing policyholder liabilities and business growth, both of which are largely offset in PBCAE as indicated below. These factors were partially offset by lower group annuity sales.
International Insurance revenue decreased $89 million or 12%, primarily due to the change in fair value of investments backing policyholder liabilities, which is largely offset in PBCAE as indicated below.
PBCAE increased $1,186 million, primarily due to the change in fair value of investments backing policyholder liabilities and business growth in Canadian Insurance, both of which are largely offset in revenue. These factors were partially offset by lower group annuity sales.
Non-interest
expense increased $14 million or 10%, primarily due to higher staff-related costs.
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
Net income decreased $9 million or 6% from last quarter, primarily due to the impact of an unfavourable actuarial adjustment in the current quarter.

Financial performance
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Net income increased $82 million or 10% from a year ago, primarily driven by a lower effective tax rate reflecting changes in earnings mix, higher revenue in Corporate & Investment Banking and the impact of foreign exchange translation. These factors were partially offset by higher PCL and lower revenue in Global Markets.
Total revenue increased $129 million or 5%.
Corporate and Investment Banking revenue increased $135 million or 11%, mainly due to the reversal of loan underwriting markdowns, primarily in the U.S. Higher municipal banking activity, improved margins in our transaction banking business and the impact of foreign exchange translation also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by lower loan syndication and M&A activity across most regions.
Global Markets revenue decreased $38 million or 3%, largely due to lower equity trading revenue across all regions, partially offset by higher fixed income trading revenue across most regions as well as the impact of foreign exchange translation.
Other revenue improved $32 million or 26%, mainly reflecting the impact of fair value changes in our legacy U.S. portfolios.
PCL was $150 million, compared to $(36) million a year ago, mainly attributable to provisions taken on performing loans in the current quarter driven by unfavourable changes in our credit quality and macroeconomic outlook, as compared to releases last year which reflected reduced uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current quarter also reflected higher provisions on impaired loans in a few sectors, including the consumer discretionary and real estate and related sectors, resulting in an increase of 24 bps in the PCL on impaired loans ratio.
Non-interest
expense increased $89 million or 6%, mainly driven by the impact of foreign exchange translation and ongoing technology investments.

Royal Bank of Canada
        Second Quarter 2023         21
 
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
Net income decreased $284 million or 23% from last quarter, largely driven by lower equity trading revenue across all regions, as well as lower fixed income trading revenue and M&A activity across most regions. These factors were partially offset by lower compensation on decreased results.
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022 (Six months ended)
Net income increased $183 million or 9% from the same period last year, mainly driven by a lower effective tax rate reflecting changes in earnings mix, higher revenue in Global Markets and the impact of foreign exchange translation. These factors were partially offset by higher PCL, lower revenue in Corporate & Investment Banking and ongoing technology investments.
Total revenue increased $258 million or 5%, mainly due to higher fixed income trading revenue across all regions and the impact of foreign exchange translation. These factors were partially offset by lower equity trading revenue across all regions and lower loan syndication activity in the U.S. and Europe.
PCL was $215 million, compared to $(48) million in the same period last year, largely reflecting higher provisions on impaired loans in the current period in a few sectors, including the consumer discretionary and real estate and related sectors, resulting in an increase of 21 bps in the PCL on impaired loans ratio. Provisions taken on performing loans in the current period,
primarily
driven by unfavourable changes in our credit quality and macroeconomic outlook, as compared to releases in the same period last year which reflected reduced uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, also contributed to an increase in PCL.
Non-interest
expense increased $261 million or 9%, mainly driven by the impact of foreign exchange translation, ongoing technology investments and higher compensation on increased results. Higher marketing and business development costs also contributed to the increase.

Revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2023 included gains of $132 million (April 30, 2022 – losses of $243 million) on economic hedges of our U.S. Wealth Management (including City National) share-based compensation plans, and
non-interest
expense included $119 million (April 30, 2022 – $(193) million) of share-based compensation expense driven by changes in the fair value of liabilities relating to our U.S. Wealth Management (including City National) share-based compensation plans.
Due to the nature of activities and consolidation adjustments reported in this segment, we believe that a comparative period analysis is not relevant.
Total revenue and Income taxes (recoveries) in each period in Corporate Support include the deduction of the teb adjustments related to the
gross-up
of income from Canadian taxable corporate dividends and the U.S. tax credit investment business recorded in Capital Markets. The amount deducted from revenue was offset by an equivalent increase in Income taxes (recoveries).
The teb amount for the three months ended April 30, 2023 was $213 million, compared to $116 million in the prior quarter and $145 million in the same quarter last year. The teb amount for the six months ended April 30, 2023 was $329 million, compared to $287 million in the same period last year.
The following identifies the material items, other than the teb impacts noted previously, affecting the reported results in each period.
Q2 2023
Net loss was $86 million, primarily due to residual unallocated items, as well as transaction and integration costs of $43 million relating to the planned acquisition of HSBC Canada (for further details, refer to the Key performance and non-GAAP measures section).
Q1 2023
Net loss was $1,131 million, primarily due to the impact of the CRD and other tax related adjustments of $1,050 million (for further details, refer to the Key performance and non-GAAP measures section). Asset/liability management activities and residual unallocated items also contributed to the net loss.

Seasonality
Seasonal factors may impact our results in certain quarters. The first quarter has historically been stronger for our Capital Markets businesses. The second quarter has fewer days than the other quarters, which generally results in a decrease in net interest income and certain expense items. The third and fourth quarters include the summer months which generally results in lower client activity and may negatively impact the results of our Capital Markets trading business.
Trend analysis
Earnings over the period have been impacted by the factors noted below.
Personal & Commercial Banking revenue has benefitted from solid volume growth in loans and deposits over the period. NIM has been favourably impacted over the majority of the period by the rising interest rate environment, whereas a low interest rate environment persisted in the earlier part of the period. Towards the end of the period, NIM has been adversely impacted by a shift in product mix.
Wealth Management revenue has generally benefitted from growth in average
fee-based
client assets, which is impacted by market conditions, and volume growth in loans over the period. The rising interest rate environment also favourably impacted revenue over the recent quarters, whereas a low interest rate environment persisted in the earlier part of the period. The revenue of RBC Brewin Dolphin has been included since the acquisition closed on September 27, 2022.
Insurance revenue has fluctuated over the period, primarily due to the impact of changes in the fair value of investments backing policyholder liabilities as well as the timing of group annuity sales, both of which are largely offset in PBCAE. Group annuity sales are generally higher in the first half of the fiscal year.
Capital Markets revenue is influenced, to a large extent, by market conditions that impact client activity. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, there was a decline in global investment banking fee pools. Sales and trading results were impacted notably in the third quarter of 2022 amidst challenging market conditions, driving lower fixed income trading revenue, including the impact from loan underwriting markdowns. The first half of 2023 saw improvement in sales and trading, reflecting strong client activity.

Royal Bank of Canada
        Second Quarter 2023         23
 
PCL is comprised of provisions taken on performing assets and provisions taken on impaired assets. PCL on performing assets has fluctuated over the period as it is impacted by changes in credit quality, macroeconomic conditions, and exposures. Throughout 2021 and the first half of 2022, we saw improvements in our macroeconomic and credit quality outlook, as the economic impact from the
COVID-19
pandemic eased in most regions, resulting in releases of provisions on performing assets. In the last half of 2022 and first half of 2023, unfavourable changes in our macroeconomic and credit quality outlook resulted in an increase in provisions. PCL on impaired assets remained below
pre-pandemic
levels over most of the period, though provisions started to increase in the latter part of the period.
PBCAE has fluctuated over the period reflecting changes in the fair value of investments backing policyholder liabilities, which is impacted by changes in market conditions, as well as group annuity sales, both of which are largely offset in revenue. PBCAE has also fluctuated due to the impact of investment-related experience and claims costs over the period. Actuarial adjustments, which generally occur in the fourth quarter of each year, also impact PBCAE.
Non-interest
expense has been impacted by fluctuations in variable compensation over the period, commensurate with fluctuations in revenue and earnings. Changes in the fair value of our U.S. share-based compensation plans, which are largely offset in revenue, have also contributed to fluctuations over the period and are impacted by market conditions. While we continue to focus on efficiency management activities, expenses over the period also reflect investments in staff and technology. The fourth quarter of 2021 included a legal provision in U.S. Wealth Management (including City National) that was partially released in the first quarter of 2022.
Non-interest
expenses of RBC Brewin Dolphin have been included since the acquisition closed on September 27, 2022.
Our effective income tax rate has fluctuated over the period, mostly due to varying levels of tax adjustments and changes in earnings mix. The second and fourth quarters of 2022 reflected the impact of net favourable tax adjustments and an increase in income from lower tax rate jurisdictions, respectively. The first quarter of 2023 reflects the impact of the CRD and other tax related adjustments.

Q2 2023 vs. Q4 2022
Total assets increased $23 billion or 1% from October 31, 2022. Foreign exchange translation decreased total assets by $19 billion.
Cash and due from banks was up $27 billion or 37%, primarily due to higher deposits with central banks, reflecting our short-term cash management activities.
Interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased $26 billion or 24%, primarily due to the classification of certain interest-bearing deposits as assets held for sale, which are presented in Other assets. For further details, refer to Note 6 of our Condensed Financial Statements. Lower deposits with central banks also contributed to the decrease, reflecting our short-term cash management activities.
Securities, net of applicable allowance, were up $2 billion or 1%, primarily due to higher corporate debt securities, reflecting cash management activities, higher equity trading securities and the impact of foreign exchange translation. These factors were partially offset by lower government debt securities.

24         
Royal Bank of Canada
        Second Quarter 2023
 
Assets purchased under reverse repurchase agreements (reverse repos) and securities borrowed increased $17 billion or 5%, primarily due to increased client demand. The impact of foreign exchange translation also contributed to the increase.
Loans (net of Allowance for loan losses) were up $11 billion or 1%, primarily due to volume growth in wholesale loans and residential mortgages.
Derivative assets were down $30 billion or 20%, primarily attributable to the impact of foreign exchange translation and lower fair values on interest rate contracts, partially offset by higher fair values on foreign exchange contracts.
Other assets were up $22 billion or 18%, primarily due to the reclassification of certain interest-bearing deposits noted above, partially offset by lower cash collateral.
Total liabilities increased $20 billion or 1%. Foreign exchange translation decreased total liabilities by $19 billion.
Deposits increased $1 billion, primarily due to issuances of long-term notes due to funding requirements, a shift in clients’ preference towards term deposits driven by higher interest rates, and the impact of foreign exchange translation. These factors were largely offset by the classification of certain deposits as liabilities held for sale, which are presented in Other liabilities.
Derivative liabilities were down $30 billion or 19%, primarily attributable to the impact of foreign exchange translation and lower fair values on interest rate contracts, partially offset by higher fair values on foreign exchange contracts.
Other liabilities were up $47 billion or 11%, largely due to the reclassification of certain deposits noted above and higher obligations related to repurchase agreements (repos) reflecting increased client demand.
Total equity increased $3 billion, primarily reflecting earnings, net of dividends.
 
Off-balance
sheet arrangements
 
In the normal course of business, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, for accounting purposes, are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets.
Off-balance
sheet transactions are generally undertaken for risk, capital and funding management purposes which benefit us and our clients. These include transactions with structured entities and may also include the purchase or issuance of guarantees. These transactions give rise to, among other risks, varying degrees of market, credit, and liquidity and funding risks, which are discussed in the Risk management section of this Q2 2023 Report to Shareholders.
The following provides an update to our significant
off-balance
sheet transactions, which are described on pages 56 to 58 of our 2022 Annual Report.
Involvement with unconsolidated structured entities
RBC-administered
multi-seller conduits
We administer multi-seller conduits which are used primarily for the securitization of our clients’ financial assets. Our maximum exposure to loss under these transactions primarily relates to backstop liquidity and partial credit enhancement facilities extended to the conduits. As at April 30, 2023, the total assets of the multi-seller conduits were $52 billion (October 31, 2022 – $47 billion) and our maximum exposure to loss was $53 billion (October 31, 2022 – $48 billion). The increase reflects higher securitization activities since October 31, 2022, mainly in the student loans, fleet finance receivables and consumer loans asset classes. This was partially offset by lower securitization activities in the credit cards asset class.
As at April 30, 2023, the total asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) issued by the conduits amounted to $36 billion (October 31, 2022 – $33 billion). The rating agencies that rate the ABCP rated 100% (October 31, 2022 – 100%) of the total amount issued within the top ratings category.
 
Risk management
 
 
Credit risk
 
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with an obligor’s potential inability or unwillingness to fulfill its contractual obligations on a timely basis and may arise directly from the risk of default of a primary obligor (e.g., issuer, debtor, counterparty, borrower or policyholder), indirectly from a secondary obligor (e.g., guarantor or reinsurer), through
off-balance
sheet exposures, contingent credit risk, associated credit risk and/or transactional risk. Credit risk includes counterparty credit risk arising from both trading and
non-trading
activities.
Our Enterprise Credit Risk Management Framework (ECRMF) and supporting credit policies are designed to clearly define roles and responsibilities, acceptable practices, limits and key controls. There have been no material changes to our ECRMF as described in our 2022 Annual Report.

GIL in Personal & Commercial Banking increased $136 million or 9%, largely due to higher impaired loans in our Canadian Banking commercial portfolios in a few sectors, including the consumer discretionary, public works and infrastructure and other services sectors, as well as in our Canadian Banking retail portfolios.
GIL in Capital Markets increased $150 million or 22%, largely due to higher impaired loans in the transportation and consumer discretionary sectors.

Market risk
 
Market risk is defined to be the impact of market factors and prices upon our financial condition. This includes potential financial gains or losses due to changes in market-determined variables such as interest rates, credit spreads, equity prices, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and implied volatilities. There have been no material changes to our Market Risk Management Framework from the framework described in our 2022 Annual Report. Using that framework, we continuously seek to ensure that our market risk exposure is consistent with risk appetite constraints set by the Board of Directors.
Market risk controls include limits on probabilistic measures of potential loss in trading positions, such as
Value-at-Risk
(VaR), Stressed
Value-at-Risk
(SVaR), stress testing and Incremental Risk Charge (IRC). Market risk controls are also in place to manage Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB). To monitor and control IRRBB, we assess two primary metrics, Net Interest Income (NII) risk and Economic Value of Equity (EVE) risk, under a range of market shocks, scenarios, and time horizons. There has been no material change to the IRRBB measurement methodology, controls, or limits from those described in our 2022 Annual Report. For further details on our approach to the management of market risk, refer to the Market risk section of our 2022 Annual Report.

(2)   Credit specific risk captures issuer-specific credit spread volatility.
(3)   Market risk VaR is less than the sum of the individual risk factor VaR results due to risk factor diversification.
(4)   The average market risk VaR and average SVaR for the three months ended April 30, 2023 includes $22 million and $96 million, respectively (January 31, 2023 – $20 million and $117 million; April 30, 2022 – $3 million and $21 million), related to loan underwriting commitments.
(5)   The average market risk VaR and average SVaR for the six months ended April 30, 2023 includes $21 million and $107 million, respectively (April 30, 2022 – $6 million and $15 million), related to loan underwriting commitments.
n.m.   not meaningful
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Average market risk VaR of $47 million increased $1 million and average SVaR of $108 million increased $28 million from a year ago, reflecting the impact of unfavourable market conditions on our loan underwriting commitments, partially offset by exposure changes in our equity derivatives portfolio.
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
Average market risk VaR of $47 million decreased $8 million and average SVaR of $108 million decreased $68 million from last quarter, primarily driven by exposure changes in our equity derivatives portfolio.
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022 (Six months ended)
Average market risk VaR of $51 million remained stable.
Average SVaR of $143 million increased $68 million from the same period last year, largely due to the effects of unfavourable market conditions, which impacted loan underwriting commitments as noted above.

The following chart displays a bar graph of our daily trading profit and loss and a line graph of our daily market risk VaR. We incurred 1 day of net trading loss in the three months ended April 30, 2023, largely associated with stresses in the U.S. regional banking sector, which did not exceed VaR. There were no net trading losses in the three months ended January 31, 2023.
 
 
 
  (1)   Trading revenue (teb) in the chart above excludes the impact of loan underwriting commitments.
Market risk measures for assets and liabilities of RBC Insurance
®
We offer a range of insurance products to clients and hold investments to meet the future obligations to policyholders. The investments which support actuarial liabilities are predominantly fixed income assets designated as FVTPL. Consequently, changes in the fair values of these assets are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income and are largely offset by changes in the fair value of the actuarial liabilities, the impact of which is reflected in PBCAE. As at April 30, 2023, we held assets in support of $12 billion of liabilities with respect to insurance obligations (January 31, 2023 – $12 billion).
Market risk measures – IRRBB sensitivities
The following table shows the potential

As at April 30, 2023, an immediate and sustained
-100
bps shock would have had a negative impact to our NII of $894 million, up from $776 million last quarter. An immediate and sustained +100 bps shock as at April 30, 2023 would have had a negative impact to the bank’s EVE of $1,726 million, down from $2,069 million last quarter. Quarter-over-quarter NII sensitivity increased and EVE sensitivity decreased mainly in response to a marginal increase in floating rate assets held within banking books. During the second quarter of 2023, NII and EVE risks remained within approved limits.

Liquidity and funding risk
 
Liquidity and funding risk (liquidity risk) is the risk that we may be unable to generate sufficient cash or its equivalents in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet our commitments. Liquidity risk arises from mismatches in the timing and value of
on-balance
sheet and
off-balance
sheet cash flows.
Our Liquidity Risk Management Framework (LRMF) is designed to ensure that we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy current and prospective commitments in both normal and stressed conditions. There have been no material changes to our LRMF as described in our 2022 Annual Report.
We continue to maintain liquidity and funding that we believe is appropriate for the execution of our strategy. Liquidity risk remains well within our risk appetite.
Liquidity reserve
Our liquidity reserve consists of available unencumbered liquid assets. Although unused wholesale funding capacity, which is regularly assessed, could be another potential source of liquidity to mitigate stressed conditions, it is excluded in the determination of the liquidity reserve. Similarly, uncommitted and undrawn central bank borrowing facilities that could be accessed subject to satisfying certain preconditions as set by various central banks (e.g., BoC, the Fed, Bank of England, and Bank of France), as well as amounts that qualify as eligible collateral at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) are also excluded from the determination of the liquidity reserve.

The liquidity reserve is typically most affected by routine flows of retail and commercial client banking activities, where liquid asset portfolios reflect changes in deposit and loan balances, as well as business strategies and client flows related to the activities in Capital Markets. Corporate Treasury and Capital Markets activities also affect liquidity reserves through the management of funding issuances where reserves absorb timing mismatches between debt issuances and deployment into business activities.

Royal Bank of Canada
        Second Quarter 2023         33
 
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
Total unencumbered liquid assets increased $3 billion or 1% from last quarter, mainly due to an increase in on-balance sheet securities, as well as cash and deposits with banks, reflecting higher deposit levels.
Asset encumbrance
The table below provides a summary of our
on-
and
off-balance
sheet amounts for cash, securities and other assets, distinguishing between those that are encumbered or
available-for-sale
or use as collateral in secured funding transactions. Other assets, such as mortgages and credit card receivables, can also be monetized, albeit over longer timeframes than those required for marketable securities. As at April 30, 2023, our unencumbered assets available as collateral comprised 25% of total assets (January 31, 2023 – 25%).

Funding
Funding strategy
Core funding, comprising capital, longer-term wholesale liabilities and a diversified pool of personal and, to a lesser extent, commercial and institutional deposits, is the foundation of our structural liquidity position.
Deposit and funding profile
As at April 30, 2023, relationship-based deposits, which are the primary source of funding for retail and commercial lending, were $826 billion or 53% of our total funding (January 31, 2023 – $814 billion or 52%). The remaining portion is comprised of short- and long-term wholesale funding.
Funding for highly liquid assets consists primarily of short-term wholesale funding that reflects the monetization period of those assets. Long-term wholesale funding is used mostly to fund less liquid wholesale assets and to support liquid asset buffers.
Senior long-term debt issued by the bank on or after September 23, 2018, that has an original term greater than 400 days and is marketable, subject to certain exceptions, is subject to the Canadian Bank Recapitalization
(Bail-in)
regime. Under the
Bail-in
regime, in circumstances when the Superintendent of Financial Institutions has determined that a bank may no longer be viable, the Governor in Council may, upon a recommendation of the Minister of Finance that he or she is of the opinion that it is in the public interest to do so, grant an order directing the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) to convert all or a portion of certain shares and liabilities of that bank into common shares. As at April 30, 2023, the notional value of issued and outstanding long-term debt subject to conversion under the
Bail-in
regime was $101 billion (January 31, 2023 – $94 billion).
For further details on our wholesale funding, refer to the Composition of wholesale funding tables below.
Long-term debt issuance
Our wholesale funding activities are well-diversified by geography, investor segment, instrument, currency, structure and maturity. We maintain an ongoing presence in different funding markets, which allows us to continuously monitor market developments and trends, identify opportunities and risks, and take appropriate and timely actions. We operate long-term debt issuance registered programs. The following table summarizes these programs with their authorized limits by geography.
 
Programs by geography
 
 
Canada
 
U.S.
  
Europe/Asia
•  Canadian Shelf Program – $25 billion
 
•  U.S. Shelf Program – US$50 billion
  
•  European Debt Issuance Program – US$40 billion
    
•  Global Covered Bond Program –
75 billion
        
•  Japanese Issuance Programs – ¥1 trillion
We also raise long-term funding using Canadian Senior Notes, Canadian National Housing Act MBS, Canada Mortgage Bonds, credit card receivable-backed securities, Kangaroo Bonds (issued in the Australian domestic market by foreign firms) and Yankee Certificates of Deposit (issued in the U.S. domestic market by foreign firms). We continuously evaluate opportunities to expand into new markets and untapped investor segments since diversification expands our wholesale funding flexibility, minimizes funding concentration and dependency, and generally reduces financing costs. As presented in the following charts, our current long-term debt profile is well-diversified by both currency and product. Maintaining competitive credit ratings is also critical to cost-effective funding.

Credit ratings
Our ability to access unsecured funding markets and to engage in certain collateralized business activities on a cost-effective basis are primarily dependent upon maintaining competitive credit ratings. Credit ratings and outlooks provided by rating agencies reflect their views and methodologies. Ratings are subject to change, based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, our financial strength, competitive position, liquidity and other factors not completely within our control.
Other than as noted below, there have been no changes to our major credit ratings as disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report.

Additional contractual obligations for rating downgrades
We are required to deliver collateral to certain counterparties in the event of a downgrade to our current credit rating. The following table provides the additional collateral obligations required at the reporting date in the event of a
one-,
two-
or three-notch downgrade to our credit ratings. These additional collateral obligations are incremental requirements for each successive downgrade and do not represent the cumulative impact of multiple downgrades. The amounts reported change periodically as a result of several factors, including the transfer of trading activity to centrally cleared financial market infrastructures and exchanges, the expiration of transactions with downgrade triggers, the imposition of internal limitations on new agreements to exclude downgrade triggers, as well as normal course
mark-to-market.
There is no outstanding senior debt issued in the market that contains rating triggers that would lead to early prepayment of principal.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)
The LCR is a Basel III metric that measures the sufficiency of high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) available to meet liquidity needs over a
30-day
period in an acute stress scenario. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and OSFI regulatory minimum coverage level for LCR is 100%.
OSFI requires Canadian banks to disclose the LCR using the standard Basel disclosure template and calculated using the average of daily LCR positions during the quarter.

(1)   The LCR is calculated in accordance with OSFI’s LAR guideline, which, in turn, reflects liquidity-related requirements issued by the BCBS. The LCR for the quarter ended April 30, 2023 is calculated as an average of 61 daily positions.
(2)   With the exception of other contingent funding obligations, unweighted inflow and outflow amounts are items maturing or callable in 30 days or less. Other contingent funding obligations also include debt securities with remaining maturity greater than 30 days.
(3)   As defined by the BCBS, stable deposits from retail and small business customers are deposits that are insured and are either held in transactional accounts or the bank has an established relationship with the client making the withdrawal unlikely.
(4)   Operational deposits from customers other than retail and small and
medium-sized
enterprises, are deposits which clients need to keep with the bank in order to facilitate their access and ability to use payment and settlement systems primarily for clearing, custody and cash management activities.
(5)   Other contractual funding obligations primarily include outflows from unsettled securities trades and outflows from obligations related to securities sold short.
(6)   Other contingent funding obligations include outflows related to other
off-balance
sheet facilities that carry low LCR runoff factors (0% – 5%).

Royal Bank of Canada
        Second Quarter 2023
 
We manage our LCR position within a target range that reflects our liquidity risk tolerance and takes into account business mix, asset composition and funding capabilities. The range is subject to periodic review in light of changes to internal requirements and external developments.
We maintain HQLAs in major currencies with dependable market depth and breadth. Our treasury management practices ensure that the levels of HQLA are actively managed to meet target LCR objectives. Our Level 1 assets, as calculated according to OSFI LAR and the BCBS LCR requirements, represent 89% of total HQLA. These assets consist of cash, placements with central banks and highly rated securities issued or guaranteed by governments, central banks and supranational entities.
LCR captures cash flows from
on-
and
off-balance
sheet activities that are either expected or could potentially occur within 30 days in an acute stress scenario. Cash outflows result from the application of withdrawal and
non-renewal
factors to demand and term deposits, differentiated by client type (wholesale, retail and small- and
medium-sized
enterprises). Cash outflows also arise from business activities that create contingent funding and collateral requirements, such as repo funding, derivatives, short sales of securities and the extension of credit and liquidity commitments to clients. Cash inflows arise primarily from maturing secured loans, interbank loans and
non-HQLA
securities.
LCR does not reflect any market funding capacity that we believe would be available in a stress situation. All maturing wholesale debt is assigned 100% outflow in the LCR calculation.
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
The average LCR for the quarter ended April 30, 2023 was 135%, which translates into a surplus of approximately $102 billion, compared to 130% and a surplus of approximately $88 billion last quarter. LCR levels increased compared to the prior quarter primarily due to an increase in deposits and average wholesale funding balances, partially offset by loan growth.
Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)
NSFR is a Basel III metric that measures the sufficiency of available stable funding relative to the amount of required stable funding. The BCBS and OSFI regulatory minimum coverage level for NSFR is 100%.
Available stable funding is defined as the portion of capital and liabilities expected to be reliable over the time horizon considered by the NSFR, which extends to one year. Required stable funding is a function of the liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of the various assets held by the bank as well as those of its
off-balance
sheet exposures.
OSFI requires Canadian Domestic Systemically Important Banks
(D-SIBs)
to disclose the NSFR using the standard Basel disclosure template. Amounts presented in this disclosure template are determined in accordance with the requirements of OSFI’s LAR guideline and are not necessarily aligned with the classification requirements prescribed under IFRS.

        Second Quarter 2023
 
Available stable funding is comprised primarily of a diversified pool of personal and commercial deposits, capital, as well as long-term wholesale liabilities. Required stable funding is driven mainly by the bank’s mortgage and loan portfolio, secured loans to financial institutions and to a lesser extent by other less liquid assets. NSFR does not reflect any unused market funding capacity that we believe is available to the bank.
Volume and composition of available stable funding is actively managed to optimize our structural funding position and meet NSFR objectives. Our NSFR is managed in accordance with our comprehensive LRMF.
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
The NSFR as at April 30, 2023 was 113%, which translates into a surplus of approximately $110 billion, compared to 112% and a surplus of approximately $100 billion last quarter. NSFR increased compared to the prior quarter primarily due to an increase in deposits and stable funding, partially offset by loan growth.
Contractual maturities of financial assets, financial liabilities and
off-balance
sheet items
The following tables provide remaining contractual maturity profiles of all our assets, liabilities, and
off-balance
sheet items at their carrying value (e.g., amortized cost or fair value) at the balance sheet date.
Off-balance
sheet items are allocated based on the expiry date of the contract.
Details of contractual maturities and commitments to extend funds are a source of information for the management of liquidity risk. Among other purposes, these details form a basis for modelling a behavioural balance sheet with effective maturities to calculate liquidity risk measures. For further details, refer to the Risk measurement section within the Liquidity and funding risk section of our 2022 Annual Report.

Capital management
 
We continue to manage our capital in accordance with our Capital Management Framework as described in our 2022 Annual Report. In addition, we continue to monitor for new regulatory capital developments, including OSFI guidance relating to the BCBS Basel III reforms, in order to ensure compliance with these requirements as disclosed in the Capital management section in our 2022 Annual Report, as updated below.
OSFI expects Canadian banks to meet the Basel III targets for CET1, Tier 1, and Total capital ratios. Under Basel III, banks select from two main approaches, the Standardized Approach (SA) or the Internal Ratings Based (IRB) Approach, to calculate their minimum regulatory capital required to support credit, market and operational risks.
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has
re-designated
us as a Global Systemically Important Bank
(G-SIB).
This designation requires us to maintain a higher loss absorbency requirement (common equity as a percentage of RWA) of 1% consistent with the
D-SIB
requirement.
OSFI’s Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) guideline establishes two minimum standards: the risk-based TLAC ratio, which builds on the risk-based capital ratios described in the CAR guideline, and the TLAC leverage ratio, which builds on the leverage ratio described in OSFI’s LR guideline. The TLAC requirement is intended to address the sufficiency of a
D-SIB’s
loss absorbing capacity in supporting its recapitalization in the event of its failure. TLAC is defined as the aggregate of Tier 1 capital, Tier 2 capital, and external TLAC instruments, which allow conversion in whole or in part into common shares under the CDIC Act and meet all of the eligibility criteria under the guideline.

Royal Bank of Canada
        Second Quarter 2023
 
During the quarter, OSFI’s revised capital, leverage, and disclosure guidelines incorporating and implementing OSFI’s first phase of the adoption of the final BCBS Basel III reforms came into effect. The second phase of OSFI’s implementation relating to the revised credit valuation adjustment (CVA) and market risk chapters of the CAR guideline will be effective for us in Q1 2024. The revised CAR and LR guidelines implemented in the current quarter includes the following notable changes:
 
For IRB portfolios, elimination of a 6% regulatory scaling factor applied to RWA generated by internal models and introduction of prescribed supervisory parameters applicable to certain asset classes within our wholesale portfolio.
 
Adoption of a new operational risk SA framework based on 3 years of average income and 10 years of historical losses.
 
Adoption of a new SA framework enhancing risk sensitivity.
 
Prescribed revisions to the current regulatory capital floor from 70% to 65% requiring a transition to a new regulatory capital floor of 72.5% of RWA under the SA by 2026. This new regulatory floor will be transitioned over three years, reflecting a regulatory capital floor requirement of 67.5%, 70% and 72.5% in, fiscal 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively.
 
Application of a 50 bps leverage ratio buffer to all D-SIBs.
The revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements that were effective this quarter have been included in our standalone Pillar 3 Report as at April 30, 2023.
In Q2 2020, OSFI announced a series of regulatory adjustments and guidance to support the financial and operational resilience of the banking sector in response to the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic and subsequently continued, as needed, to release guidance implementing, clarifying, updating or unwinding certain aspects or requirements. Most measures and guidance issued in response to the
COVID-19
pandemic have been unwound including, most recently the exclusion of central bank reserves that qualify as HQLA from leverage ratio exposure amounts, which ceased to be effective April 1, 2023.
For further details, refer to the Capital management section of our 2022 Annual Report. We have incorporated the effective adjustments and guidance, as applicable, into our results and in our ongoing capital planning activities.
The following table provides a summary of OSFI’s current regulatory target ratios under Basel III and Pillar 2 requirements. We are in compliance with all current capital, leverage and TLAC requirements imposed by OSFI:

Both the CAR guideline and LR guideline are based on the Basel III framework. The results for the period ended April 30, 2023 reflect our adoption of the revised CAR and LR guidelines as part of OSFI’s implementation of the Basel III reforms.  
  (2)   TLAC available and TLAC ratios are calculated using OSFI’s TLAC guideline. The TLAC standard is applied at the resolution entity level which for us is deemed to be Royal Bank of Canada and its subsidiaries. A resolution entity and its subsidiaries are collectively called a resolution group. The TLAC ratio and TLAC leverage ratio are calculated using the TLAC available as a percentage of total RWA and leverage exposure, respectively.

Royal Bank of Canada
        Second Quarter 2023
 
Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
 
 
 
(1)   Represents rounded figures.
(2)   Represents net internal capital generation of $1.7 billion or 28 bps consisting of Net income available to shareholders, less common and preferred share dividends and distributions on other equity instruments.
(3)   For further details about the Dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP), refer to Note 10 of our Condensed Financial Statements.
Our CET1 ratio was 13.7%, up 100 bps from last quarter, mainly reflecting the favourable impact of the Basel III reforms, net internal capital generation and share issuances under the DRIP, partially offset by higher RWA from business growth.
Total RWA decreased by $21 billion, primarily reflecting the favourable impact of the Basel III reforms on credit and operational risk noted above. This was partially offset by business growth in trading activities and commercial lending, as well as the impact of foreign exchange translation. In our CET1 ratio, the impact of foreign exchange translation on RWA is largely mitigated with economic hedges.
Our Tier 1 capital ratio of 14.9% was up 100 bps and our Total capital ratio of 16.8% was up 110 bps, mainly reflecting the factors noted above under the CET1 ratio.
Our Leverage ratio of 4.2% was down 20 bps, mainly due to the reversal of the regulatory modification for central bank reserves qualifying as HQLA noted above. This was partially offset by net internal capital generation, the impact of the Basel III reforms and share issuances under the DRIP.
Leverage exposures increased by $195 billion, mainly driven by the reversal of the regulatory modification noted above and the impact of foreign exchange translation. Business growth primarily in trading activities and loans, partially offset by lower securities, also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by the impact of the Basel III reforms.
Our TLAC ratio of 31% was up 280 bps, reflecting the factors noted above under the Total capital ratio, as well as a favourable impact from the net issuance of external TLAC instruments.
Our TLAC leverage ratio of 8.7% was down 30 bps, reflecting the factors noted above under the Leverage ratio, as well as a favourable impact from the net issuance of external TLAC instruments.
External TLAC instruments include long-term debt subject to conversion under the
Bail-in
regime. For further details, refer to Deposit and funding profile in the Liquidity and funding risk section.

NVCC provisions require the conversion of the capital instrument into a variable number of common shares in the event that OSFI deems a bank to be
non-viable
or a federal or provincial government in Canada publicly announces that a bank has accepted or agreed to accept a capital injection. If a NVCC trigger event were to occur, our NVCC capital instruments as at April 30, 2023, which were the preferred shares Series AZ, BB, BD, BF, BH, BI, BO, BT, LRCN Series 1, LRCN Series 2, LRCN Series 3 and subordinated debentures due on January 27, 2026, July 25, 2029, December 23, 2029, June 30, 2030, January 28, 2033, November 3, 2031, May 3, 2032, and February 1, 2033 would be converted into common shares pursuant to an automatic conversion formula with a conversion price based on the greater of: (i) a contractual floor price of $5.00, and (ii) the current market price of our common shares at the time of the trigger event
(10-day
weighted average). Based on a floor price of $5.00 and including an estimate for accrued dividends and interest, these NVCC capital instruments would convert into a maximum of 4,999 million common shares, in aggregate, which would represent a dilution impact of 78.25% based on the number of common shares outstanding as at April 30, 2023.

Glossary
 
 
Acceptances
A bill of exchange or negotiable instrument drawn by the borrower for payment at maturity and accepted by a bank. The acceptance constitutes a guarantee of payment by the bank and can be traded in the money market. The bank earns a “stamping fee” for providing this guarantee.
Allowance for credit losses (ACL)
The amount deemed adequate by management to absorb expected credit losses as at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established for all financial assets subject to impairment assessment, including certain loans, debt securities, customers’ liability under acceptances, financial guarantees, and undrawn loan commitments. The allowance is changed by the amount of provision for credit losses recorded, which is charged to income, and decreased by the amount of write-offs net of recoveries in the period.
ACL on loans ratio
ACL on loans ratio is calculated as ACL on loans as a percentage of total loans and acceptances.
Asset-backed securities (ABS)
Securities created through the securitization of a pool of assets, for example auto loans or credit card loans.
Assets under administration (AUA)
Assets administered by us, which are beneficially owned by clients, unless otherwise noted. Services provided in respect of assets under administration are of an administrative nature, including safekeeping, collecting investment income, settling purchase and sale transactions, and record keeping.
Assets under management (AUM)
Assets managed by us, which are beneficially owned by clients, unless otherwise noted. Services provided in respect of assets under management include the selection of investments and the provision of investment advice. We have assets under management that are also administered by us and included in assets under administration.
Attributed capital
Attributed capital is based on the Basel III regulatory capital requirements and economic capital.
Auction rate securities (ARS)
Debt securities whose interest rates are regularly reset through an auction process.
Average earning assets, net
Average earning assets include interest-bearing deposits with other banks, securities, net of applicable allowance, assets purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowed, loans, net of allowance, cash collateral and margin deposits. Insurance assets, and all other assets not specified are excluded. The averages are based on the daily balances for the period.
Basis point (bp)
One
one-hundredth
of a percentage point (.01%).
Collateral
Assets pledged as security for a loan or other obligation. Collateral can take many forms, such as cash, highly rated securities, property, inventory, equipment and receivables.
Collateralized debt obligation (CDO)
Securities with multiple tranches that are issued by structured entities and collateralized by debt obligations including bonds and loans. Each tranche offers a varying degree of risk and return so as to meet investor demand.
Commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS)
Securities created through the securitization of commercial mortgages.
Commitments to extend credit
Unutilized amount of credit facilities available to clients either in the form of loans, bankers’ acceptances and other
on-balance
sheet financing, or through
off-balance
sheet products such as guarantees and letters of credit.
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital
A regulatory Basel III capital measure comprised mainly of common shareholders’ equity less regulatory deductions and adjustments for goodwill and intangibles, defined benefit pension fund assets, shortfall in allowances and other specified items.
Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio
A risk-based capital measure calculated as CET1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets.
Covered bonds
Full recourse
on-balance
sheet obligations issued by banks and credit institutions that are fully collateralized by assets over which investors enjoy a priority claim in the event of an issuer’s insolvency.
Credit default swaps (CDS)
A derivative contract that provides the purchaser with a
one-time
payment should the referenced entity/entities default (or a similar triggering event occur).
Derivative
A contract between two parties, which requires little or no initial investment and where payments between the parties are dependent upon the movements in price of an underlying instrument, index or financial rate. Examples of derivatives include swaps, options, forward rate agreements and futures. The notional amount of the derivative is the contract amount used as a reference point to calculate the payments to be exchanged between the two parties, and the notional amount itself is generally not exchanged by the parties.
Dividend payout ratio
Common dividends as a percentage of net income available to common shareholders.
Dividend yield
Dividends per common share divided by the average of the high and low share price in the relevant period.
Earnings per share (EPS), basic
Calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the average number of shares outstanding.
Earnings per share (EPS), diluted
Calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options and other convertible securities.
Efficiency Ratio
Non-interest
expense as a percentage of total revenue.
Expected credit losses
The difference between the contractual cash flows due to us in accordance with the relevant contractual terms and the cash flows that we expect to receive, discounted to the balance sheet date.
Fair value
Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Funding Valuation Adjustment
Funding valuation adjustments are calculated to incorporate cost and benefit of funding in the valuation of uncollateralized and under-collateralized OTC derivatives. Future expected cash flows of these derivatives are discounted to reflect the cost and benefit of funding the derivatives by using a funding curve, implied volatilities and correlations as inputs.
Guarantees and standby letters of credit
These primarily represent irrevocable assurances that a bank will make payments in the event that its client cannot meet its financial obligations to third parties. Certain other guarantees, such as bid and performance bonds, represent
non-financial
undertakings.
Hedge
A risk management technique used to mitigate exposure from market, interest rate or foreign currency exchange risk arising from normal banking operations. The elimination or reduction of such exposure is accomplished by establishing offsetting positions. For example, assets denominated in foreign currencies can be offset with liabilities in the same currencies or through the use of foreign exchange hedging instruments such as futures, options or foreign exchange contracts.
Hedge funds
A type of investment fund, marketed to accredited high net worth investors, that is subject to limited regulation and restrictions on its investments compared to retail mutual funds, and that often utilize aggressive strategies such as selling short, leverage, program trading, swaps, arbitrage and derivatives.
High-quality liquid assets (HQLA)
Assets are considered to be HQLA if they can be easily and immediately converted into cash at little or no loss of value during a time of stress.
Impaired loans
Loans are classified as impaired when there has been a deterioration of credit quality to the extent that management no longer has reasonable assurance of timely collection of the full amount of principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Credit card balances are not classified as impaired as they are directly written off after payments are 180 days past due.
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
IFRS are principles-based standards, interpretations and the framework adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Leverage ratio
A Basel III regulatory measure, the ratio divides Tier 1 capital by the sum of total assets plus specified
off-balance
sheet items.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio is a Basel III metric that measures the sufficiency of HQLA available to meet net short-term financial obligations over a thirty day period in an acute stress scenario.

Loan-to-value
(LTV) ratio
Calculated based on the total facility amount for the residential mortgage and RBC Homeline Plan product divided by the value of the related residential property.
Master netting agreement
An agreement between us and a counterparty designed to reduce the credit risk of multiple derivative transactions through the creation of a legal right of offset of exposure in the event of a default.
Net interest income
The difference between what is earned on assets such as loans and securities and what is paid on liabilities such as deposits and subordinated debentures.
Net interest margin (NIM) on average earning assets, net
Calculated as net interest income divided by average earning assets, net.
Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)
The Net Stable Funding Ratio is a Basel III metric that measures the sufficiency of available stable funding to meet the minimum coverage level of required stable funding.
Normal course issuer bid (NCIB)
A program for the repurchase of our own shares for cancellation through a stock exchange that is subject to the various rules of the relevant stock exchange and securities commission.
Notional amount
The contract amount used as a reference point to calculate payments for derivatives.
Off-balance
sheet financial instruments
A variety of arrangements offered to clients, which include credit derivatives, written put options, backstop liquidity facilities, stable value products, financial standby letters of credit, performance guarantees, credit enhancements, mortgage loans sold with recourse, commitments to extend credit, securities lending, documentary and commercial letters of credit, sponsor member guarantees, securities lending indemnifications and indemnifications.
Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI)
The primary regulator of federally chartered financial institutions and federally administered pension plans in Canada. OSFI’s mission is to safeguard policyholders, depositors and pension plan members from undue loss.
Operating leverage
The difference between our revenue growth rate and
non-interest
expense growth rate.
Options
A contract or a provision of a contract that gives one party (the option holder) the right, but not the obligation, to perform a specified transaction with another party (the option issuer or option writer) according to specified terms.
Provision for credit losses (PCL)
The amount charged to income necessary to bring the allowance for credit losses to a level determined appropriate by management. This includes provisions on performing and impaired financial assets.
PCL on loans ratio
PCL on loans ratio is calculated using PCL on loans as a percentage of average net loans and acceptances.
RBC Homeline Plan products
This is comprised of residential mortgages and secured personal loans whereby the borrower pledges real estate as collateral.
Repurchase agreements
These involve the sale of securities for cash and the simultaneous repurchase of the securities for value at a later date. These transactions normally do not constitute economic sales and therefore are treated as collateralized financing transactions.
Return on common equity (ROE)
Net income available to common shareholders, expressed as a percentage of average common equity.
Reverse repurchase agreements
These involve the purchase of securities for cash and the simultaneous sale of the securities for value at a later date. These transactions normally do not constitute economic sales and therefore are treated as collateralized financing transactions.
Risk-weighted assets (RWA)
Assets adjusted by a regulatory risk-weight factor to reflect the riskiness of on and
off-balance
sheet exposures. Certain assets are not risk-weighted, but deducted from capital. The calculation is defined by OSFI’s Capital Adequacy Requirements guidelines. For more details, refer to the Capital management section.
Securities lending
Transactions in which the owner of securities agrees to lend it under the terms of a prearranged contract to a borrower for a fee. Collateral for the loan consists of either high quality securities or cash and collateral value must be at least equal to the market value of the loaned securities. Borrowers pay a negotiated fee for loans collateralized by securities, whereas for cash collateral lenders pay borrowers interest at a negotiated rate and reinvest the cash collateral to earn a return. An intermediary such as a bank often acts as agent lender for the owner of the security in return for a share of the revenue earned by the owner from lending securities. Most often, agent lenders indemnify the owner against the risk of the borrower’s failure to redeliver the loaned securities – counterparty credit risk if a borrower defaults and market risk if the value of the
non-cash
collateral declines. The agent lender does not indemnify against the investment risk of
re-investing
cash collateral which is borne by the owner.
Securities sold short
A transaction in which the seller sells securities and then borrows the securities in order to deliver them to the purchaser upon settlement. At a later date, the seller buys identical securities in the market to replace the borrowed securities.
Securitization
The process by which various financial assets are packaged into newly issued securities backed by these assets.
Standardized Approach (SA)
Risk weights prescribed by OSFI are used to calculate RWA for the credit risk exposures. Credit assessments by OSFI-recognized external credit rating agencies of S&P, Moody’s, Fitch, and DBRS are used to risk-weight our Sovereign and Bank exposures based on the standards and guidelines issued by OSFI. For our Business and Retail exposures, we use the standard risk weights prescribed by OSFI.
Structured entities
A structured entity is an entity in which voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity, such as when the activities that significantly affect the entity’s returns are directed by means of contractual arrangements. Structured entities often have restricted activities, narrow and well defined objectives, insufficient equity to finance their activities, and financing in the form of multiple contractually-linked instruments.
Taxable equivalent basis (teb)
Income from certain specified tax advantaged sources (eligible Canadian taxable corporate dividends) is increased to a level that would make it comparable to income from taxable sources. There is an offsetting adjustment in the tax provision, thereby generating the same
after-tax
net income.
Tier 1 capital
Tier 1 capital comprises predominantly of CET1 capital, with additional Tier 1 items such as preferred shares, limited recourse capital notes and
non-controlling
interests in subsidiaries Tier 1 instruments.
Tier 2 capital
Tier 2 capital consists mainly of subordinated debentures that meet certain criteria, certain loan loss allowances and
non-controlling
interests in subsidiaries’ Tier 2 instruments.
Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC)
The aggregate of Tier 1 capital, Tier 2 capital, and external TLAC instruments which allow conversion in whole or in part into common shares under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act and meet all of the eligibility criteria under the guideline.
TLAC ratio
The risk-based TLAC ratio is defined as TLAC divided by total risk-weighted assets.
TLAC leverage ratio
The TLAC leverage ratio is defined as TLAC divided by the Leverage ratio exposure.
Total capital and total capital ratio
Total capital is defined as the total of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. The total capital ratio is calculated by dividing total capital by risk-weighted assets.
Tranche
A security class created whereby the risks and returns associated with a pool of assets are packaged into several classes of securities offering different risk and return profiles from those of the underlying asset pool. Tranches are typically rated by ratings agencies, and reflect both the credit quality of underlying collateral as well as the level of protection based on the tranches’ relative subordination.
Unattributed capital
Unattributed capital represents common equity in excess of common equity attributed to our business segments and is reported in the Corporate Support segment.
Value-at-Risk
(VaR)
A generally accepted risk-measurement concept that uses statistical models based on historical information to estimate within a given level of confidence the maximum loss in market value we would experience in our trading portfolio from an adverse
one-day
movement in market rates and prices.

Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 Instruments)
A financial instrument is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy if one or more of its unobservable inputs may significantly affect the measurement of its fair value. In preparing the financial statements, appropriate levels for these unobservable input parameters are chosen so that they are consistent with prevailing market evidence or management judgment. Due to the unobservable nature of the prices or rates, there may be uncertainty about the valuation of these Level 3 financial instruments.
During the three months ended April 30, 2023, there were no significant changes made to the valuation techniques and ranges and weighted averages of unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value of Level 3 financial instruments. As at April 30, 2023, the impacts of adjusting one or more of the unobservable inputs by reasonably possible alternative assumptions did not change significantly from the impacts disclosed in our audited 2022 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Transfers between fair value hierarchy levels for instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis
Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and transfers into and out of Level 3 are assumed to occur at the end of the period. For an asset or a liability that transfers into Level 3 during the period, the entire change in fair value for the period is excluded from the Gains (losses) included in earnings for positions still held column of the above reconciliation, whereas for transfers out of Level 3 during the period, the entire change in fair value for the period is included in the same column of the above reconciliation.
Transfers between Level 1 and 2 are dependent on whether fair value is obtained on the basis of quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1).
During the three months ended April 30, 2023
, transfers out of Level 1 to Level 2 included Trading U.S. federal, state, municipal and agencies debt of $112 million. During the three months ended
April 30, 2022, there were no significant transfers out of Level 1 to Level 2.
During the three months ended April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022, there were no significant transfers out of Level 2 to Level 1.

During the six months ended April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022, there were no significant transfers out of Level 2 to Level 1.

million 
of allowance for credit losses on debt securities at FVOCI as at April 30, 2023 (October 31, 2022 – $(19) million) recognized in income and Other components of equity.
Allowance for credit losses on investment securities
The following tables reconcile the opening and closing allowance for debt securities at FVOCI and amortized cost by stage. Reconciling items include the following:
 
Transfers between stages, which are presumed to occur before any corresponding remeasurement of the allowance.
 
Purchases, which reflect the allowance related to assets newly recognized during the period, including those assets that were derecognized following a modification of terms.
 
Sales and maturities, which reflect the allowance related to assets derecognized during the period without a credit loss being incurred, including those assets that were derecognized following a modification of terms.

Changes in risk, parameters and exposures, which comprise the impact of changes in model inputs or assumptions, including changes in forward-looking macroeconomic conditions; partial repayments; changes in the measurement following a transfer between stages; and unwinding of the time value discount due to the passage of time.

The following table reconciles the opening and closing allowance for each major product of loans and commitments as determined by our modelled, scenario-weighted allowance and the application of expert credit judgment as applicable. Reconciling items include the following:
 
Transfers between stages, which are presumed to occur before any corresponding remeasurements of the allowance.
 
Originations, which reflect the allowance related to assets newly recognized during the period, including those assets that were derecognized following a modification of terms.
 
Maturities, which reflect the allowance related to assets derecognized during the period without a credit loss being incurred, including those assets that were derecognized following a modification of terms.
 
Changes in risk, parameters and exposures, which comprise the impact of changes in model inputs or assumptions, including changes in forward-looking macroeconomic conditions; partial repayments and additional draws on existing facilities; changes in the measurement following a transfer between stages; and unwinding of the time value discount due to the passage of time in stage 1 and stage 2.

Note 5    Loans and allowance for credit losses
(continued)
 
 
Key
inputs and assumptions
The following provides an update on the key inputs and assumptions used in the measurement of expected credit losses. For further details, refer to Note 2 and Note 5 of our audited 2022 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our base scenario reflects rising unemployment rates, high inflation, production capacity limits and high central bank policy interest rates, which result in mild recessions in Canada and the U.S. in calendar 2023. Expectations are that increases in central bank interest rates, including in Canada and the U.S., are likely at or close to the end of the cycle. Our base scenario also reflects declining housing prices in Canada in the near-term and an unfavourable outlook for commercial real estate prices.
Downside scenarios, including two additional and more severe downside scenarios designed for the energy and real estate sectors, reflect the possibility of a more severe macroeconomic shock beginning in calendar Q3 2023 relative to our base scenario. Conditions are expected to deteriorate from calendar Q2 2023 levels for up to 18 months, followed by a recovery for the remainder of the period. These scenarios assume monetary policy responses that return the economy to a long-run, sustainable growth rate within the forecast period. The possibility of a deeper recession and a more prolonged recovery as compared to our base scenario, including further monetary policy responses to elevated inflation rates which may increase credit risk, is reflected in our general downside scenario.
The upside scenario reflects slightly stronger economic growth than the base scenario, without prompting a further offsetting monetary policy response as compared to our base scenario, followed by a return to a long-run sustainable growth rate within the forecast period.
We reduced weight to our downside scenarios relative to October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2023, in order to reflect reduced uncertainty and an increased likelihood of a mild recession as reflected in our base scenario relative to the more severe recessions reflected in our downside scenarios.
The following provides additional detail about our calendar quarter forecasts for certain key macroeconomic variables used in the models to estimate the allowance for credit losses:
Unemployment rates
– In our base forecast, calendar Q2 2023 unemployment rates are expected to rise to 5.3% in Canada and 3.8% in the U.S., peaking in Q1 2024 at 6.6% in Canada and at 4.8% in the U.S., and reverting to the long run equilibrium towards the latter end of the forecast horizon.
 

 
 
 
Gross Domestic Product (GDP
)
– In our base forecast, we expect Canadian and U.S. GDP growth to slow
, with both Canada
and
the U.S. expected to experience mild recessions during
calendar
Q2 and Q3
2023
. GDP in calendar Q4 2023 is expected to be 0.4% above Q4 2022 levels in Canada, and 0.2% below such levels in the U.S.

Oil price (West Texas Intermediate in US$)
– In our base forecast, we expect oil prices to average $82 per barrel over the next 12 months from calendar Q2 2023 and $70 per barrel in the following 2 to 5 years. The range of average prices in our alternative downside and upside scenarios is $28 to $101 per barrel for the next 12 months and $42 to $
73
per barrel for the following 2 to 5 years. As at January 31, 2023, our base forecast included an average price of $84 per barrel for the next 12 months and $71 per barrel for the following 2 to 5 years. As at October 31, 2022, our base forecast included an average price of $88 per barrel for the next 12 months and $72 per barrel for the following 2 to 5 years.
 
 
Canadian housing price index
– In our base forecast, we expect housing prices to increase by 1.8% over the next 12 months from calendar Q2 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.8% for the following 2 to 5 years. The range of annual housing price growth (contraction) in our alternative real estate downside and upside scenarios is (30.0%) to 10.9% over the next 12 months and 4.2% to 9.6% for the following 2 to 5 years. As at January 31, 2023, our base forecast included housing price
growth
of 2.6% for the next 12 months and 5.1% for the following 2 to 5 years. As at October 31, 2022, our base forecast included housing price contraction of (1.0)% from calendar Q4 2022 for the next 12 months and housing price growth of 5.2% for the following 2 to 5 years. 
Credit risk exposure by internal risk rating
The following table presents the gross carrying amount of loans measured at amortized cost, and the full contractual amount of undrawn loan commitments subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9

Note 6    Significant acquisition and disposition
 
Acquisition
HSBC Bank Canada
On November 29, 2022, we entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the common shares of HSBC Bank Canada (HSBC Canada) for an all-cash purchase price of $13.5 billion. In addition, we will purchase all of the existing preferred shares and subordinated debt of HSBC Canada held directly or indirectly by HSBC Holdings plc at par value ($2.1 billion as of March 31, 2023). HSBC Canada is a premier Canadian personal and commercial bank focused on globally connected clients.
The transaction is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2024 and is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The results of the acquired business will be consolidated from the date of close.
Disposition
Wealth Management
On December 23, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the European asset servicing activities of RBC Investor Services and its associated Malaysian centre of excellence to CACEIS (the asset servicing banking group of Crédit Agricole S.A. and Banco Santander, S.A.). The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory and antitrust approvals, and is expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 2023. As a result of the disposition, the assets and liabilities of the disposal group are classified as held for sale, measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and presented in Other assets and Other liabilities. The disposal group consists of assets of $27 billion, primarily consisting of interest-bearing deposits with banks, and liabilities of $26 billion, primarily consisting of deposits.

Note 9    Income taxes
 
On December 15,
2022
, Bill C-32, Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022 (the Bill), tabled by the Government of Canada, received royal assent. The Bill amends the Income Tax Act (Canada) to implement a Canada Recovery Dividend (CRD) and a permanent increase in the Canadian corporate tax rate on banks and life insurer groups.
The CRD is a one-time 15% tax for 2022 determined based on the average taxable income above $1 billion for taxation years 2020 and 2021 and payable in equal installments over five years. The CRD resulted in an increase in income taxes of $1.2 billion for the three months ended
January 31
, 2023, of which $1 billion was recognized in net income and
 
$
0.2 billion was recognized in other comprehensive income.
The permanent increase in the Canadian corporate tax rate is 1.5% on taxable income above $100 million and applies to taxation years that end after April 7, 2022, resulting in an increase in the Canadian statutory tax rate from 26.2% to 27.7% for the year ending October 31, 2023.
 
Note 10    Significant capital and funding transactions
 
Subordinated debentures

(1)   The dilutive effect of stock options was calculated using the treasury stock method. When the exercise price of options outstanding is greater than the average market price of our common shares, the options are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2023,
and
April 30, 2022, no outstanding options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
 
Note 12    Legal and regulatory matters
 
We are a large global institution that is subject to many different complex legal and regulatory requirements that continue to evolve. We are and have been subject to a variety of legal proceedings, including civil claims and lawsuits, regulatory examinations, investigations, audits and requests for information by various governmental regulatory agencies and law enforcement authorities in various jurisdictions. Some of these matters may involve novel legal theories and interpretations and may be advanced under criminal as well as civil statutes, and some proceedings could result in the imposition of civil, regulatory enforcement or criminal penalties. We review the status of all proceedings on an ongoing basis and will exercise judgment in resolving them in such manner as we believe to be in our best interest. In many proceedings, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or to reliably estimate the amount of any loss. This is an area of significant judgment and uncertainty and the extent of our financial and other exposure to these proceedings after taking into account current provisions could be material to our results of operations in any particular period.
Our significant legal proceeding and regulatory matters are described in Note 25 of our audited 2022 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and as updated below.
Vacation pay class action
On December 29, 2022, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice certified a class in an action against RBC Dominion Securities Limited and RBC Dominion Securities Inc. (together, RBC DS). The action commenced in July 2020, asserting claims relating to statutory vacation pay and public holiday pay for investment advisors, associates and assistants in our Canadian Wealth Management business, with the exception of those employed in Alberta and British Columbia. On January 13, 2023, RBC DS served a notice of motion for leave to appeal the court’s certification decision. Based on the facts currently known, it is not possible at this time to predict the ultimate outcome of these proceedings or the timing of their
 
resolution.
Foreign exchange matters
On March 29, 2023, the parties executed a settlement agreement resolving all claim
s in
both the U.S. Opt Out Action and the U.K. action.

Note 13    Results by business segment
 
Composition of business segments
For management purposes, based on the products and services offered, we are organized into four business segments: Personal & Commercial Banking, Wealth Management, Insurance and Capital Markets. Effective the first quarter of 2023, we simplified our reporting structure by eliminating the Investor & Treasury Services segment and moving its former businesses to existing segments. We moved our Investor Services business to our Wealth Management segment, and our Treasury Services and Transaction Banking businesses to our Capital Markets segment. From a reporting perspective, there were no changes to our Personal & Commercial Banking and Insurance segments. Comparative results have been revised to conform to our new basis of segment
presentation.

Regulatory capital and capital ratios
OSFI formally establishes risk-based capital and leverage minimums and Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) ratios for deposit-taking institutions in Canada. During the second quarter of 2023, we complied with all applicable capital, leverage and TLAC requirements, including the Domestic Stability Buffer, imposed by OSFI.

Capital, RWA, and capital ratios are calculated using OSFI’s Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) guideline and the Leverage ratio is calculated using OSFI’s Leverage Requirements (LR) guideline. Both the CAR guideline and LR guideline are based on the Basel III framework. The results for the period ended April 30, 2023 reflect our adoption of the revised CAR and LR guidelines as part of OSFI’s implementation of the Basel III reforms. 
(2)   TLAC available and TLAC ratios are calculated using OSFI’s TLAC guideline. The TLAC standard is applied at the resolution entity level which for us is deemed to be Royal Bank of Canada and its subsidiaries. A resolution entity and its subsidiaries are collectively called a resolution group. The TLAC ratio and TLAC leverage ratio are calculated using the TLAC available as percentage of total RWA and leverage exposure, respectively.
