CONSOLIDATED EARNINGS RATIOS

The following table provides the Bank’s consolidated ratios of earnings to fixed charges, based upon financial information calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) for the three months period ended January 31, 2024 and for each of the years in the five year period ended October 31, 2023.

Consolidated Ratios of Earnings to Fixed Charges

            

Excluding interest on deposits

    4.57       4.27       5.78       9.00       5.91        6.61  

Including interest on deposits

    1.25       1.25       1.82       2.56       1.66        1.67  

Consolidated Ratios of Earnings to Combined Fixed Charges and Preferred Dividends

            

Excluding interest on deposits

    3.88       3.60       5.14       7.55       5.16        5.88  

Including interest on deposits

    1.24       1.23       1.78       2.46       1.63        1.65  

For purposes of computing these ratios:

 

   

earnings represent income from continuing operations plus income taxes and fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest and net income from investments in associated corporations);

 

   

fixed charges, excluding interest on deposits, represent interest (including capitalized interest), estimated interest within rent, and amortization of debt issuance costs;

 

   

fixed charges, including interest on deposits, represent all interest; and

 

   

preferred dividends include dividends from preferred shares and other equity instruments.

 

   

On November 1, 2023, the Bank adopted IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, which replaces IFRS 4, the previous accounting standard for insurance contracts. The Bank adopted IFRS 17 on a retrospective basis, restating the results from the transition date of November 1, 2022. Accordingly, results for fiscal 2023 have been restated to reflect the IFRS 17 basis of accounting for insurance contracts. Results for periods prior to November 1, 2022 continue to be presented under the IFRS 4 basis of accounting and have not been restated.
