MONTREAL, May 27, 2022
/CNW/ - For the second quarter of 2022, National Bank is reporting
net income of $893 million compared
to $801 million in the second quarter
of 2021. Second-quarter diluted earnings per share stood at
$2.55, up 13% from $2.25 in the second quarter of 2021. This growth
was driven by year‑over-year increases in total revenues across all
of the business segments. Income before provisions for credit
losses and income taxes totalled $1,146
million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to
$1,039 million in the second quarter
of 2021, a 10% increase resulting from good performance across all
of the business segments.
For the six-month period ended April 30,
2022, the Bank's net income totalled $1,825 million compared to $1,562 million in the same period of
2021. First‑half diluted earnings per share stood at
$5.19 compared to $4.40 in the same period of 2021. The
excellent performance turned in by all of the business segments was
driven by revenue growth, while lower provisions for credit losses
on impaired loans contributed to increases in net income and
diluted earnings per share. The Bank's first-half income before
provisions for credit losses and income taxes totalled $2,335 million, a 12% year-over-year increase
driven by revenue growth across all of the business
segments.
Commenting on the results for the second quarter of 2022, Mr.
Laurent Ferreira, President and
Chief Executive Officer of National Bank of Canada, emphasized "the contribution of each
business segment to the sustained growth of the Bank." "We are
maintaining our strategic objectives of delivering a high return on
equity and ensuring prudent management of risk and regulatory
capital," added Mr. Ferreira.

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, 2021. This presentation
reflects the fact that the loan portfolio of borrowers in the "Oil
and gas, and pipelines" sector and related activities, which had
previously been reported in the Personal and Commercial segment,
are now reported in the Financial Markets segment. The Bank made
this change to better align the monitoring of its activities with
its management structure.
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;
- non-GAAP ratios;
- supplementary financial measures;
- capital management measures.
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 assess results without the
specified items if they consider such items not to be reflective of
the underlying performance of the Bank's operations. The Bank
excludes certain specified items that are inherently unpredictable
from its results. In addition, like many other financial
institutions, 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
tax-exempt income (particularly dividends) by the income tax that
would have been otherwise payable. 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.
For additional information on non-GAAP financial measures, on
non-GAAP ratios, on supplementary financial measures, and on
capital management measures, see the Financial Reporting Method
section and the Glossary section, on pages 4 to 6 and 45 to 48,
respectively, in the Report to Shareholders – Second
Quarter 2022, which is available on the Bank's
website at nbc.ca or the SEDAR website at sedar.com.

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. Forward-looking statements in this document
may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the
economy—particularly the Canadian and U.S. economies—market
changes, the Bank's objectives, outlook and priorities for fiscal
year 2022 and beyond, the strategies or actions that will be taken
to achieve them, expectations about the Bank's financial condition,
the regulatory environment in which it operates, the impacts of—and
the Bank's response to—the COVID-19 pandemic, and certain risks it
faces. 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 financial
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.
Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and U.S.
economies in 2022, including in the context of the COVID-19
pandemic, and how that will affect the Bank's business are among
the main factors considered in setting the Bank's strategic
priorities and objectives including provisions for credit
losses. In determining its expectations for economic
conditions, both broadly and in the financial services sector in
particular, the Bank primarily considers historical economic data
provided by the governments of Canada, the United
States, and certain other countries in which the Bank
conducts business, as well as their agencies.
Statements about the economy, market changes, and the Bank's
objectives, outlook and priorities for fiscal 2022 and thereafter
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 other countries where the Bank operates;
exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations; inflation; 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; 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 long-term strategies and key short-term
priorities; the timely development and launch of new products and
services; the Bank's ability to recruit and retain key personnel;
technological innovation 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, i.e., primarily Canada and the
United States; 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;
potential disruption to key suppliers of goods and services to the
Bank; potential disruptions to the Bank's information technology
systems, including evolving cyberattack risk as well as identity
theft and theft of personal information; and possible impacts of
major events affecting the local and global economies, including
international conflicts, natural disasters, and public health
crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
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 financial
performance targets will not be achieved. The Bank recommends
that readers not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, as a number of factors, including the impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic, could cause actual results to differ
significantly from the expectations, estimates or intentions
expressed in these forward-looking statements. These risk factors
include credit risk, market risk, liquidity and funding risk,
operational risk, regulatory compliance risk, reputation risk,
strategic risk, environmental and social risk, and certain emerging
risks or risks deemed significant, all of which are described in
greater detail in the Risk Management section beginning on page 69
of the 2021 Annual Report.
The foregoing list of risk factors is not
exhaustive. Additional information about these risk factors is
provided in the Risk Management section and in the COVID-19
Pandemic section of the 2021 Annual Report and in the Risk
Management section of the Report to Shareholders for the Second
Quarter of 2022. Investors and others who rely on the Bank's
forward-looking statements should carefully consider the above
factors 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. 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.
