The financial information reported in this document is based on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2024 and is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), unless otherwise indicated.

MONTREAL, Aug. 28, 2024 /CNW/ - For the third quarter of 2024, National Bank is reporting net income of $1,033 million, up 24% from $830 million in the third quarter of 2023. Third-quarter diluted earnings per share stood at $2.89 compared to $2.33 in the third quarter of 2023. These increases were driven by good performance in all of the business segments. Adjusted net income(1), which excludes specified items(1) (notably the items related to the agreement to acquire Canadian Western Bank (CWB) recorded during the third quarter of 2024), totalled $960 million compared to $781 million in the same quarter of 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings(1) per share stood at $2.68 compared to $2.18 in the third quarter of 2023.
For the first nine months of 2024, the Bank's net income totalled $2,861 million, up 13% from $2,538 million in the same period of 2023. Nine-month diluted earnings per share stood at $8.03 versus $7.14 in the same period last year. These increases were driven by good performance, owing to revenue growth, in all of the business segments, partly offset by increases in non-interest expenses, provisions for credit losses, and income taxes. Nine-month adjusted net income(1), which excludes specified items(1), totalled $2,788 million, up 11% from $2,513 million in the same period of 2023, and nine-month adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) stood at $7.82, up 11% from $7.06 in the same period of 2023.
"Our strong financial results for the third quarter reflect our diversified earnings mix and solid credit profile as well as disciplined execution across the Bank," said Laurent Ferreira, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Bank of Canada. "With our prudent approach to capital, credit, and costs, we remain well-positioned in a complex macro environment and we look forward to the growth opportunities ahead."

Financial Reporting Method
The Bank's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB. The financial statements also comply with section 308(4) of the Bank Act (Canada), which states that, except as otherwise specified by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada) (OSFI), the consolidated financial statements are to be prepared in accordance with IFRS, which represent Canadian GAAP. None of the OSFI accounting requirements are exceptions to IFRS.
The presentation of segment disclosures is consistent with the presentation adopted by the Bank for the fiscal year beginning November 1, 2023. This presentation reflects the retrospective application of accounting policy changes arising from the adoption of IFRS 17– Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17). For additional information, see Note 2 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in the Report to Shareholders – Third Quarter 2024, which is available on the Bank's website at nbc.ca or the SEDAR+ website at sedarplus.ca. The figures for the 2023 quarters have been adjusted to reflect these accounting policy changes.
Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
The Bank uses a number of financial measures when assessing its results and measuring overall performance. Some of these financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Regulation 52-112 Respecting Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure (Regulation 52-112) prescribes disclosure requirements that apply to the following measures used by the Bank:
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Bank uses non-GAAP financial measures that do not have standardized meanings under GAAP and that therefore may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Presenting non-GAAP financial measures helps readers to better understand how management analyzes results, shows the impacts of specified items on the results of the reported periods, and allows readers to better assess results without the specified items if they consider such items not to be reflective of the underlying performance of the Bank's operations. In addition, the Bank uses the taxable equivalent basis to calculate net interest income, non-interest income, and income taxes. This calculation method consists of grossing up certain revenues taxed at lower rates (notably dividends) by the income tax to a level that would make it comparable to revenues from taxable sources in Canada. An equivalent amount is added to income taxes. This adjustment is necessary in order to perform a uniform comparison of the return on different assets, regardless of their tax treatment. However, in light of the enacted legislation with respect to Canadian dividends, the Bank did not recognize an income tax deduction, nor did it or use the taxable equivalent basis method to adjust revenues related to affected dividends received after January 1, 2024 (for additional information see the Income Taxes section in the Report to shareholders for the third quarter of 2024, which is available on the Bank's website at nbc.ca or the SEDAR+ website at sedarplus.ca).
The key non-GAAP financial measures used by the Bank to analyze its results are described below, and a quantitative reconciliation of these measures is presented in the tables in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures section on pages 4 to 6. Note that, for the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2024, after the agreement to acquire Canadian Western Bank (CWB) was concluded, several acquisition-related items have been excluded from results (in particular, the amortization of the subscription receipt issuance costs of $5 million ($3 million net of income taxes); a gain of $120 million ($86 million net of income taxes) resulting from the remeasurement at fair value of the CWB common shares already held by the Bank; the impact of managing fair value changes, representing a loss of $7 million ($5 million net of income taxes); and $7 million in acquisition and integration charges ($5 million net of income taxes)). For the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2023, a gain of $91 million ($67 million net of income taxes) recorded upon the fair value remeasurement of an equity interest and an expense related to the retroactive impact of changes to the Excise Tax Act of $25 million ($18 million net of income taxes) had been excluded from results. In addition, for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2023, a $24 million tax expense related to the Canadian government's 2022 tax measures had been excluded from results given the one-time nature of the item. This amount had included a $32 million tax expense with respect to the Canada Recovery Dividend, i.e., a one-time, 15% tax on the fiscal 2021 and 2020 average taxable income above $1 billion as well as an $8 million tax recovery related to the 1.5% increase in the statutory tax rate, which included the impact related to current and deferred taxes for fiscal 2022.
For additional information on non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, supplementary financial measures, and capital management measures, see the Financial Reporting Method section and the Glossary section, on pages 4 to 10 and 49 to 52, respectively, in the Report to shareholders for the third quarter of 2024, which is available on the Bank's website at nbc.ca or the SEDAR+ website at sedarplus.ca.

For additional information, see Note 2 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in the Report to Shareholders – Third Quarter 2024, which is available on the Bank's website at nbc.ca or the SEDAR+ website at sedarplus.ca. |
(2) | During the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2024, the Bank recorded an amount of $5 million ($3 million net of income taxes) to reflect the amortization of the issuance costs of the subscription receipts issued as part of the agreement to acquire CWB (for additional information, see Notes 9 and 11 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in the Report to Shareholders – Third Quarter 2024, which is available on the Bank's website at nbc.ca or the SEDAR+ website at sedarplus.ca). |

(7) | During the quarter and nine-month period ended July 31, 2023, the Bank had recorded a $25 million expense ($18 million net of income taxes) in the Other heading of segment results to reflect the retroactive impact of changes to the Excise Tax Act whereby payment card clearing services provided by payment card network operators are subject to the goods and services tax (GST) and the harmonized sales tax (HST). |
(8) | During the nine-month period ended July 31, 2023, the Bank recorded, in the Other heading segment results, a $32 million tax expense with respect to the Canada Recovery Dividend, i.e., a one-time, 15% tax on the fiscal 2021 and 2020 average taxable income above $1 billion as well as an $8 million tax recovery related to the 1.5% increase in the statutory tax rate, which included the impact related to current and deferred taxes for fiscal 2022.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this document are forward-looking statements. All such statements are made in accordance with applicable securities legislation in Canada and the United States. The forward-looking statements in this document may include, but are not limited to, statements made about the economy, market changes, the Bank's objectives, outlook, and priorities for fiscal year 2024 and beyond, the strategies or actions that will be taken to achieve them, expectations for the Bank's financial condition, its activities, the anticipated acquisition of Canadian Western Bank and the impacts and benefits of the transaction, the regulatory environment in which it operates, its environmental, social, and governance targets and commitments, and certain risks to which the Bank is exposed. These forward-looking statements are typically identified by verbs or words such as "outlook", "believe", "foresee", "forecast", "anticipate", "estimate", "project", "expect", "intend" and "plan", in their future or conditional forms, notably verbs such as "will", "may", "should", "could" or "would" as well as similar terms and expressions.
Such forward-looking statements are made for the purpose of assisting the holders of the Bank's securities in understanding the Bank's financial position and results of operations as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, as well as the Bank's vision, strategic objectives, and performance targets, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and intentions and are subject to uncertainty and inherent risks, many of which are beyond the Bank's control. There is a strong possibility that the Bank's express or implied predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations, or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that its assumptions may not be confirmed, and that its vision, strategic objectives, and performance targets will not be achieved. The Bank cautions investors that these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual events or results may differ significantly from these statements due to a number of factors. Thus, the Bank recommends that readers not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, as a number of factors could cause actual results to differ significantly from the expectations, estimates, or intentions expressed in these forward-looking statements. Investors and others who rely on the Bank's forward-looking statements should carefully consider the factors listed below as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. Except as required by law, the Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, by it or on its behalf.
Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and U.S. economies in 2024 and how that performance will affect the Bank's business are among the factors considered in setting the Bank's strategic priorities and objectives, including allowances for credit losses. These assumptions appear in the Economic Review and Outlook section and, for each business segment, in the Economic and Market Review sections of the 2023 Annual Report and in the Economic Review and Outlook section of the Report to Shareholders for the third quarter of 2024, and may be updated in the quarterly reports to shareholders filed thereafter.
The forward-looking statements made in this document are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to risk factors, many of which are beyond the Bank's control and the impacts of which are difficult to predict. These risk factors include, among others, the general economic environment and financial market conditions in Canada, the United States, and the other countries where the Bank operates; the possible delay or failure to close the acquisition of Canadian Western Bank, the potential failure to obtain the required approvals to the transaction in a timely manner or at all; the Bank's ability to complete the integration within anticipated time periods and at expected cost levels, the realization of the expected strategic, financial and other benefits of the transaction, such as achieving synergies, in the timeframe anticipated; the impact of upheavals in the U.S. banking industry; exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations; inflation; global supply chain disruptions; higher funding costs and greater market volatility; changes made to fiscal, monetary, and other public policies; changes made to regulations that affect the Bank's business; geopolitical and sociopolitical uncertainty; climate change, including physical risks and those related to the transition to a low-carbon economy, and the Bank's ability to satisfy stakeholder expectations on environmental and social issues; significant changes in consumer behaviour; the housing situation, real estate market, and household indebtedness in Canada; the Bank's ability to achieve its key short-term priorities and long-term strategies; the timely development and launch of new products and services; the Bank's ability to recruit and retain key personnel; technological innovation, including advances in artificial intelligence and the open banking system, and heightened competition from established companies and from competitors offering non-traditional services; changes in the performance and creditworthiness of the Bank's clients and counterparties; the Bank's exposure to significant regulatory matters or litigation; changes made to the accounting policies used by the Bank to report financial information, including the uncertainty inherent to assumptions and critical accounting estimates; changes to tax legislation in the countries where the Bank operates; changes made to capital and liquidity guidelines as well as to the presentation and interpretation thereof; changes to the credit ratings assigned to the Bank by financial and extra-financial rating agencies; potential disruptions to key suppliers of goods and services to the Bank; the potential impacts of disruptions to the Bank's information technology systems, including cyberattacks as well as identity theft and theft of personal information; the risk of fraudulent activity; and possible impacts of major events affecting the economy, market conditions, or the Bank's outlook, including international conflicts, natural disasters, public health crises, and the measures taken in response to these events.
The foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive, and the forward-looking statements made in this document are also subject to credit risk, market risk, liquidity and funding risk, operational risk, regulatory compliance risk, reputation risk, strategic risk, and social and environmental risk as well as certain emerging risks or risks deemed significant. Additional information about these factors is provided in the Risk Management section of the 2023 Annual Report and in the Risk Management section of the Report to Shareholders for the third quarter of 2024, and may be updated in the quarterly reports to shareholders filed thereafter.
