• Strong loan growth of 9%, with continued execution against our geographic diversification objectives, including 10% growth in Ontario. • Very strong branch-raised deposit growth of 16%, including 26% growth of demand and notice deposits, which resulted in a 10% reduction in our more expensive broker deposits. • Common shareholders’ net income of $327 million, up 32%. • Diluted and adjusted earnings per common share of $3.73 and $3.81, both up 30%. • Pre-tax, pre-provision income of $517 million, up 10%. • Total revenue increased 13% and surpassed $1 billion for the first time in our history. • Efficiency ratio of 49.1% increased compared to 47.7% last year, due to the impact of the wealth acquisition and continued investment in strategic execution, including operating and enhancing our AIRB tools and processes. Excluding the wealth acquisition, the efficiency ratio of 47.7% compared to 46.9% last year. • Provision for credit losses on total loans represented nine basis points as a percentage of average loans, compared to 32 basis points last year, primarily driven by the impact of a more optimistic macroeconomic outlook associated with the ongoing economic recovery.
