Strategic Priorities & Financial Overview
Non-GAAP Measures
We use a number of financial measures to assess the performance of our business lines. Some measures are calculated in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS or GAAP), while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP, and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to
similar measures used by other companies. Investors may find these non-GAAP measures, which include non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios as defined in
National Instrument 52-112 "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure", useful in understanding how management views underlying business performance.
Management assesses results on a reported and adjusted basis and considers both as useful measures of performance. Adjusted measures, which include adjusted total
revenue, adjusted provision for credit losses, adjusted non-interest expenses, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted income taxes, adjusted net income and
adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings, in addition to the adjusted measures on slide 39, remove items of note from reported results to calculate our adjusted results. Items
of note include the amortization of intangible assets, and certain items of significance that arise from time to time which management believes are not reflective of underlying
business performance. Adjusted measures represent non-GAAP measures. We believe that adjusted measures provide the reader with a better understanding of how
management assesses underlying business performance and facilitates a more informed analysis of trends. While we believe that adjusted measures may facilitate
comparisons between our results and those of some of our Canadian peer banks, which make similar adjustments in their public disclosure, it should be noted that there is
no standardized meaning for adjusted measures under GAAP.
We also adjust our results to gross up tax-exempt revenue on certain securities to a TEB, being the amount of fully taxable revenue, which, were it to have incurred tax at
the statutory income tax rate, would yield the same after-tax revenue. See the "Strategic business units overview" and Note 30 to our consolidated financial statements
included in our 2023 Annual Report for further details, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Certain additional disclosures for these specified financial measures have been incorporated by reference and can be found in the "Non-GAAP measures" section on pages
14 to 20 of our 2023 Annual Report, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, including the quantitative reconciliations therein of reported GAAP measures to: adjusted
total revenue, adjusted provision for credit losses, adjusted non-interest expenses, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted income taxes, and adjusted net income
on pages 15 to 20; pre-provision, pre-tax earnings and adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings on page 20.
