Scotiabank Fourth Quarter Press Release 2025		1

Canadian Banking delivered adjusted earnings(2) of $3,428 million in 2025, down 9% from the prior year due primarily to a significant increase in provision for credit losses and a lower margin reflecting the impact of Bank of Canada’s recent rate cuts.

International Banking generated adjusted earnings(2) of $2,809 million in 2025, up 2% year-over-year. Revenue growth combined with disciplined expense management was partly offset by the impact of global minimum tax (GMT). Continued portfolio optimization resulted in improved profitability with ROE(2) of 14.7%, up from 13.6% last year.

Global Wealth Management adjusted earnings(2) were $1,706 million, up 17% year-over-year driven by strong revenue growth from higher mutual fund fees, brokerage revenues, and net interest income across the Canadian and International wealth businesses. Additionally, assets under management of $432 billion grew 16% year-over-year and average fourth quarter deposits of $50 billion grew 32% from last year.

Global Banking and Markets reported earnings of $1,921 million in 2025, up 30% year-over-year. Results were driven by strong performance in our capital markets business as well as higher underwriting and advisory fees, partly offset by higher expenses to support business growth.

“We are making clear progress towards achieving our key priorities, including being disciplined in our capital allocation, prioritizing value over volume, earning primary clients, and seeking out ways to work better, faster, safer, and at a lower cost,” continued Mr. Thomson. “I would like to thank all our Scotiabankers for their contributions in 2025. We enter 2026 with significant momentum – focused on achieving our medium-term objectives.”

The Bank reported a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio(3) of 13.2%, up from 13.1% last year and continued to maintain strong liquidity metrics.

Group Financial Performance

Net income

Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

Net income was $2,206 million compared to $1,689 million, an increase of 31%. Adjusted net income also increased 21% from $2,119 million to $2,558 million. The increase was driven primarily by higher net interest income and non-interest income, partly offset by higher non-interest expenses and income taxes.

Q4 2025 vs Q3 2025

Net income was $2,206 million compared to $2,527 million, a decrease of 13%. The decrease was driven primarily by higher non-interest expenses from the restructuring charge, partly offset by lower income taxes and higher net interest income and non-interest income. Adjusted net income was $2,558 million compared to $2,518 million, an increase of 2%. The increase was driven primarily by higher net interest income, non-interest income and lower income taxes, partly offset by higher non-interest expenses and provision for credit losses.

Total revenue

Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

Revenues were $9,803 million compared to $8,526 million, an increase of 15%.

Net interest income was $5,586 million compared to $4,923 million, an increase of $663 million or 13%. The increase was due primarily to a higher net interest margin, loan growth and the positive impact of foreign currency translation. The net interest margin was 2.40%, an increase of 25 basis points mainly from significantly lower funding costs driven by central bank rate cuts, and higher margins in International Banking and Global Banking and Markets.

Non-interest income was $4,217 million, an increase of $614 million or 17%. Adjusted non-interest income was $4,181 million, an increase of $578 million or 16%. The increase was due mainly to higher income from associated corporations primarily related to the KeyCorp investment, as well as higher wealth management revenues, underwriting and advisory fees, trading-related revenues, and banking fees.

 

4		Scotiabank Fourth Quarter Press Release 2025

Q4 2025 vs Q3 2025

Revenues were $9,803 million compared to $9,486 million, an increase of 3%.

Net interest income increased $93 million or 2%, due primarily to a higher net interest margin, and the positive impact of foreign currency translation. The net interest margin increased four basis points, mainly driven by higher business line margins.

Non-interest income increased $224 million or 6%. Adjusted non-interest income was up $180 million or 4%. The increase was due mainly to higher wealth management revenues, other fee and commission revenues, and underwriting and advisory fees.

Provision for credit losses 

Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

The provision for credit losses was $1,113 million, compared to $1,030 million, an increase of $83 million. The provision for credit losses ratio was 58 basis points compared to 54 basis points.

Provision for credit losses on performing loans was $71 million compared to a reversal of $13 million. The provision this period was primarily related to business growth, mainly in the International retail portfolio, as well as credit migration impacting Canadian Banking and Corporate loan book, partly offset by the impact of the improving macro economic outlook.

The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $1,042 million, compared to $1,043 million. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 54 basis points compared to 55 basis points. The decrease was due primarily to lower provisions in the retail portfolio, partly offset by higher provisions in the Canadian commercial portfolio.

Q4 2025 vs Q3 2025

The provision for credit losses was $1,113 million, compared to $1,041 million, an increase of $72 million. The provision for credit losses ratio was 58 basis points compared to 55 basis points.

Provision for credit losses on performing loans was $71 million compared to $66 million. The provision this period was primarily related to business growth, mainly in the International retail portfolio, as well as credit migration impacting Canadian Banking and Corporate loan book, partly offset by the impact of the improving macro economic outlook.

The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $1,042 million, compared to $975 million, an increase of $67 million or 7% mainly in retail. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 54 basis points compared to 51 basis points.

Non-interest expenses

Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

Non-interest expenses were $5,828 million compared to $5,296 million, an increase of $532 million or 10%. Adjusted non-interest expenses were $5,308 million compared to $4,784 million, an increase of $524 million or 11%, driven mainly by higher personnel costs including performance-based compensation, higher technology and advertising and business development costs to support strategic and regulatory initiatives, as well as the negative impact of foreign currency translation.

The productivity ratio was 59.4% compared to 62.1%. The adjusted productivity ratio was 54.3% compared to 56.1%. Year-to-date operating leverage was negative 2.2% and positive 3.0% on adjusted basis.

Q4 2025 vs Q3 2025

Non-interest expenses were up $739 million or 14%. Adjusted non-interest expenses were $5,308 million, an increase of $213 million or 4%, driven by higher personnel costs including performance-based compensation, higher technology and advertising and business development costs to support strategic and regulatory initiatives, and the negative impact of foreign currency translation. This was partly offset by lower professional fees and depreciation and amortization.

The productivity ratio was 59.4% compared to 53.7%. The adjusted productivity ratio was 54.3% compared to 53.7%.

Provision for income taxes 

Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

The effective tax rate was 22.9% compared to 23.2%. On an adjusted basis the effective tax rate was 23.6% compared to 21.8% due primarily to lower income in lower tax jurisdictions and the implementation of the GMT.

Q4 2025 vs Q3 2025

The effective tax rate was 22.9% compared to 24.7% and on an adjusted basis the effective tax rate was 23.6% compared to 25.0% due primarily to higher income in lower tax jurisdictions and withholding taxes paid in the prior quarter.

Capital Ratios

The Bank continues to maintain strong, high quality capital levels which position it well for future business growth and opportunities. The CET1 ratio as at October 31, 2025 was 13.2%, an increase of approximately 10 basis points from the prior year. The ratio benefited from strong internal capital generation, revaluation gains on FVOCI securities, partly offset by the completion of the Bank’s investment in KeyCorp, the impairment loss related to the announced sale of banking operations in Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama to Davivienda, the impact of Q4 adjustment items, and share repurchases under the Bank’s Normal Course Issuer Bid.

The Bank’s Tier 1 capital ratio was 15.3% as at October 31, 2025, an increase of approximately 30 basis points from the prior year, due primarily to the above noted impacts to the CET1 ratio and issuances of U.S. $1 billion of Limited Recourse Capital Notes in each of the first and fourth quarters of 2025 partly offset by a redemption of U.S. $1.25 billion of subordinated Additional Tier 1 Capital Notes in the third quarter.

The Bank’s Total capital ratio was 17.1% as at October 31, 2025, an increase of approximately 40 basis points from 2024, due primarily to the above noted redemptions, issuances and impacts to the Tier 1 capital ratio.

The TLAC ratio was 29.1% as at October 31, 2025, a decrease of approximately 60 basis points from the prior year, primarily from higher RWA. The Leverage ratio was 4.5% as at October 31, 2025, an increase of approximately 10 basis points from the prior year, with growth in Tier 1 capital due to the above noted Additional Tier 1 Capital issuances, partly offset by increases in leverage exposure amounts.

The TLAC Leverage ratio was 8.5%, a decrease of approximately 30 basis points from 2024, primarily due to increased leverage exposures partly offset by higher available TLAC.

The Bank’s capital, leverage and TLAC ratios continue to be in excess of OSFI’s minimum capital ratio requirements for 2025. In 2026, the Bank will continue to maintain strong capital ratios, continuing to optimize capital deployment in line with its strategic plans.

Non-interest expenses

Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024

Non-interest expenses were $1,617 million compared to $1,578 million, an increase of 2%.

Financial Performance on a Constant Dollar Basis

International Banking business segment results are analyzed on a constant dollar basis which is a non-GAAP measure (refer to Non-GAAP Measures starting on page 21). Under the constant dollar basis, prior period amounts are recalculated using current period average foreign currency rates. The following table presents the reported, adjusted and constant dollar results for International Banking for prior periods. The Bank believes that constant dollar is useful for readers to understand business performance without the impact of foreign currency translation and is used by management to assess the performance of the business segment. The tables below are computed on a basis that is different than the “Impact of foreign currency translation” table on page 4. Ratios are on a reported basis.

The discussion below on the results of operations is on a constant dollar basis.
