remaining equity investment in Schwab.

for its investment in Schwab using
the equity method and the share of net income
from investment in Schwab was reported
in the U.S. Retail segment.
Amounts for amortization of acquired
intangibles, the acquisition and integration
charges related to the Schwab transaction,
and the Bank’s share of restructuring
and other charges incurred by Schwab
were recorded in the Corporate segment. Refer

Quarterly comparison – Q4 2025 vs. Q4 2024
U.S. Retail reported net income was $719
million (US$520 million), an increase
of $171 million (US$118 million), or 31% (29%
in U.S. dollars), compared with the
fourth quarter last year, excluding Schwab earnings
of $154 million (US$114 million) in the
fourth quarter last year, primarily reflecting
the impact of U.S. balance
sheet restructuring activities, lower PCL,
and the impact of the charges for the global
resolution of the investigations into the Bank’s
U.S. BSA/AML program in the
fourth quarter last year, partially offset
by higher governance and control investments,
including costs for U.S. BSA/AML
remediation in the current quarter.
U.S. Retail adjusted net income was
$1,007 million (US$726 million), an increase
of $227 million (US$155 million), or 29%
(27% in U.S. dollars), compared with
the fourth quarter last year, primarily reflecting
the impact of U.S. balance sheet restructuring
activities, and lower PCL, partially offset by
higher governance and
control investments, including costs for U.S.
BSA/AML remediation.
The reported and adjusted annualized
ROE excluding Schwab for the quarter
were 6.7% and
9.3%, respectively, compared with 5.3%
and 7.5%, respectively, in the fourth quarter
last year.
Reported revenue for the quarter was US$2,491
million, an increase of US$138 million,
or 6%, compared with the fourth quarter
last year. On an adjusted basis,
revenue for the quarter was US$2,765 million,
an increase of US$186 million, or 7%.
Reported and adjusted net interest income
of US$2,281 million, increased
US$140 million, or 7%, largely reflecting the
impact of U.S. balance sheet restructuring
activities and higher deposit margins,
partially offset by an adjustment for
client deposit rates. Reported net interest margin
of 3.25%,
increased 48 bps, due to the impact
of U.S. balance sheet restructuring activities,
normalization of
elevated liquidity levels (which positively impacted
net interest margin by 24 bps), and higher
deposit margins, partially offset by an adjustment
for client deposit
rates. Reported non-interest income
was US$210 million, a decrease of US$2 million,
or 1%, compared with the fourth quarter
last year, reflecting the impact of
U.S. balance sheet restructuring activities, partially
offset by higher fee income. On an
adjusted basis, non-interest income of US$484
million increased
US$46 million, or 11%, compared with
the fourth quarter last year, reflecting higher
fee income.
Average loan volumes decreased US$17
billion, or 9%, compared with the fourth
quarter last year. Personal loans decreased
7% and business loans decreased
10%, reflecting U.S. balance sheet restructuring
activities. Excluding the impact of
the loan portfolios identified for sale or run-off under
our U.S. balance sheet
restructuring program, average loan volumes
increased US$3 billion, or 2%
. Average deposit volumes
decreased US$6 billion, or 2%, reflecting
a 5% decrease
in sweep deposits and a 2% decrease in business
deposits. Personal deposits were relatively
flat compared with the fourth quarter last
year.
Assets under administration (AUA) were US$46
billion as at October 31, 2025, an increase
of US$3 billion, or 7%, compared with the fourth
quarter last year,
and assets under management (AUM) were
US$10 billion as of October 31, 2025,
an increase of US$2 billion, or 25%, compared
with the fourth quarter last year,
both reflecting net asset growth and market
appreciation.
PCL for the quarter was US$220
million, a decrease of US$65 million,
or 23%, compared with the fourth quarter last
year. PCL – impaired was US$238 million,
a
decrease of US$68 million, or 22%, largely
reflecting lower provisions in the commercial
lending portfolio. PCL – performing
was a recovery of US$18 million,
compared with a recovery of $21 million in
the fourth quarter last year. The performing
recovery this quarter largely reflects
an improvement to the macroeconomic
forecast, and lower volume. U.S. Retail PCL
including only the Bank’s share of PCL
in the U.S. strategic cards portfolio, as
an annualized percentage of credit
volume was 0.50%, a decrease of 9 bps
compared with the fourth quarter last
year.
Effective fiscal 2025, U.S. Retail segment
non-interest expenses include certain U.S.
governance and control investments, including
costs for U.S. BSA/AML
remediation which were previously reported
in the Corporate segment. Comparative
amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the presentation adopted in
the current period. Reported non-interest
expenses for the quarter were US$1,801
million, an increase of US$98 million,
or 6%, compared to the fourth quarter last
year, reflecting higher governance and control
investments including costs of US$155
million for U.S. BSA/AML remediation,
higher employee-related expenses,
and the expense recovery of the FDIC special
assessment charge in the fourth quarter
last year, partially offset by
costs associated with the extension of our
credit
card program agreement with Nordstrom in
the fourth quarter last year. On an adjusted
basis, non-interest expenses increased US$84
million, or 5%, reflecting
higher governance and control investments,
including costs for U.S. BSA/AML
remediation, and higher employee-related expenses,
partially offset by
costs
associated with the extension of our credit
card program agreement with Nordstrom in
the fourth quarter last year.

for the quarter were 72.3% and 65.1%, respectively,
compared with 72.4% and 66.6%, respectively,
